progression of form.

I was inspired by the bedrock and native stone around Churchill and the Hudson Bay coastline. I elaborated with these organic forms interacting with each other and the form slowly developed into a sleek, low lying structure that embraces the flat land, stacked rocks, and the site itself.

plan. (in this particular image, north is to the left... west is up. sorry breaking architecture code on the informal blog)

The plan was inspired by the culture of churchill where three aboriginal tribes met in one spot. Thus, I divided the building into three main spaces that gradually open up to the north facade of windows that expose visitors to the Hudson Bay. The design arranges similar activities together to establish an efficient plan with minimal circulation space. Outdoor exhibit and patio spaces are accessible from the three main building regions again opening to views of the Hudson Bay in order to embrace environmental interaction.

section development. if your measuring, this scale works for the plans as well.

snow symposium

this is a project that we participated in during a 'break' from our other studio project. this is competition for a snow sculpture design that was among a range of NDSU students. the winners were invited to build their sculpture in Canada at a very large scale.
