Searching for Constructed Form: A Station for Projective Geometry
The project is dreamed as a monumental edifice standing beside the rail corridor of South-Western Virginia. Two pairs of towers rise from the earth transitioning from squares to ellipses. The towers are cut mid-ascent to shape an eastern face, orienting the project and the rail traffic beneath.
