The Lucidity of Place

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

This project is a building in a town, for a town. Public, semi-public, and private spaces are designed on a narrow site. A simple, repeated form makes the building a container for filtered sunlight. A secondary form is inserted into this structure, a closed block in the open container. Three materials, concrete, stone, and wood, bring a greater clarity to these parts, defining places and engaging the senses.
