A rural firestation

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

On the most basic level, this project fulfills the requirements of a firestation. Elevated to another level, it represents an exploration into the differentiation of things. Geometry gives a formal order, material gives an appreciation of reality. With these, opportunities are created for a richness in architecture; places for man and for machine, places for one and for many. That which is permanent and that which is not. That which knows the earth and that which knows the sky. That which makes us question and that which does not.
