The design of the Alain Tower project emphasizes an adequate solution to the composite surroundings of the tower as a cultural monument. It is desirable that the tower and its surroundings form a single unit. The design works with the main compositional views and views from the tower to the surrounding landscape and maintains the openness of the meadow area without disturbing elements. It also modifies the water elements and adapts the solved area to the requirements of nature protection and today's needs of visitors.
Adequate composed surroundings of Alain's tower as cultural monuments, Tower + surroundings = whole
- gradual restoration of composed places on the way from the city to Alain's tower as a trip destination
