A guest lodge and associated buildings for a State Forest preserve

The designers of architecture in our national and state parks appear remarkably unenlightened in a day when the design of nearly all our structures is being given a careful re-analysis of function and purpose. Indeed, these designers go to great lengths to avoid admitting that any progress has been made in the building profession in the past 300 years. This thesis is an attempt to refute the current dominant philosophy of national park architecture, and to present a possible new approach to the problem. The building designs included here, for an actual site in the Adirondack mountains of New York, are intended to illustrate the tenet of contemporary structures for the needs of contemporary man.
