Hightseat Pavilion by Prechteck ArchitectureIn our crazy digital age, many urbanites have lost their connection to nature, which is why <a href="http://prechteck.com/">Prechteck Architecture</a> wanted to create something dramatic to encourage Romanians to return to the city of Timisoara's urban park. Hence the enigmatic Hightseat Pavilion was born. Although the diamond-shaped structure is intriguing enough to draw in curious visitors, it's not so splashy or out of place that people would inadvertently be distracted from the <a href="http://inhabitat.com/supersonic-wind-tunnel-building-renovated-into-daylit-accd-south-campus-in-pasadena/accd-south-campus-daly-genik_chan-7/">surrounding natural environment</a>. Instead, by encouraging plants to grow on it, without restriction, it blends in seamlessly with the park. Made up of <a href="http://inhabitat.com/beautiful-bahia-house-showcases-natural-materials-and-smart-design/">natural materials</a> and ideal for various applications, the pavilion peers high enough over the tree line that it is the perfect concert venue!1
