THE SUBTRACTED HORIZON

The Subtracted Horizon is an underground pavilion in the Swiss Alps that powerfully symbolizes the loss of peace and freedom caused by war. Hidden beneath a pristine alpine meadow, the pavilion is rendered almost invisible from the surface. As visitors descend into a stark, raw trench carved into the earth, they leave behind the open and endless alpine horizon. The architecture uses pure subtraction, removing the landscape to create a profound spatial experience
