Forest megaphones

 
Võru County, Haanja-Karula Recreation Area
The forest megaphones are an installation consisting of three giant wooden megaphones where the sounds of nature can be listened to in an amplified manner. It is a project that was born in the cooperation of RMK and the first year interior architecture students of Estonian Academy of Arts. The project aimed to realize the idea of a forest library. What kind of construction would enrich the journey of a hiker? How would you read the book of nature?
Sitting in the giant megaphone you can listen to the sounds and silence of the forest. The megaphones can be used as an exciting outdoor classroom, but they are also suitable for small-scale cultural events. And an undemanding hiker can even pass the night in one.
