To provide a visitor centre in such a bleak landscape is a considerable design problem. The architects have chosen to expose the building and impose a dramatic form on the land. Using natural materials to create a series of 'pavilions' linked by a covered 'path', the building is an unusual and brave solution to a difficult problem.
