TRANSITIONING EDIFICE

The core architectural vision for the visitor's center was to create a space that embodied the essence of transition, blurring the lines between interior and exterior, public and private. The overarching goal was to reimagine a public center as a place of ambiguity, where the building's inherent identity remained elusive, inviting visitors to experience a constant state of flux.Envisioned as a careful assemblage of systems and parts, the structure sought to achieve a delicate balance between isolation and interconnectedness. While each system strived to maintain its distinct identity and purpose, the design celebrated the thresholds and intersections where these systems converged, creating a harmonious coexistence of contrasting elements.
