架构师提供的文本描述。这座由客户选择的观景塔遗址位于立陶宛最大的河岸尼穆纳斯(Nemunas)的一座高高的河岸上。你可以从那里看到美丽的景色-河流本身，岛屿，dzūKija地区的大片森林-只要你能从树丛…上看到就好了。

Text description provided by the architects. The site for the observation tower, chosen by the client, is on a high bank of the largest river in Lithuania, Nemunas. You could see beautiful vistas from it—the river itself, the island, vast forests of the Dzūkija region—if only you could get above the trees…

这个地方的河岸上覆盖着一片松林，这是这一地区的典型代表。客户想保留这些树，所以他们想要一座比树木更高的塔，但同时又与周围的景观融为一体。

 The bank of the river at the location is covered with a pine forest, typical for this area. The client wanted to retain the trees, so they asked for a tower that is taller than the trees but at the same time blends in to the surrounding landscape.

在参观了这座塔的位置、自然和森林之后，提出了一种建筑理念：一片松林。这座了望塔并不是作为一个巨大的建筑而设计的，它将主导整个景观；相反，它的设计目的是让它与周围的环境融为一体。

After visiting the location, nature and forest them self, suggested an architectural idea for the tower: a pine forest. The observation tower is not designed as one massive construction, which would dominate the landscape; rather, it’s designed so that it will blend in to its surroundings.

主塔柱的形状、大小、颜色以及它们之间的距离形成了一小块“树群”或“松林”，就像环绕在它们周围的森林一样。观测平台是不规则的，就像松树的花冠。为了达到顶峰，你必须走上一些楼梯，这些楼梯也会以一种不规律的方式绕着柱子旋转，就像小径绕在森林里的树上一样。

The shape, size, color of the main tower columns, and distances between them form a little “group of trees” or a “stand of pines,” just like the forest surrounding them. The observation platforms are of non-regular shape, like the stylized crowns of pine trees. In order to get to the top, you must walk up some stairs, which wind around the columns also in a non-regular manner, like paths wind around trees in a forest.

这条“小径”在“树”周围蜿蜒而行，把游客引上前来。新的森林景观在路上打开了。

 The “path” leads visitors up while snaking around the “trees.” New views of the forest open up on the way.

旅程结束在塔顶的大型观景台上，从那里可以欣赏到广袤的DZūKija景观的壮丽景色。

The journey ends at the large observation platform on top of the tower, from which magnificent views of the vast Dzūkija landscape can be enjoyed.
