Abstract

This project is an exploration of and an elaboration upon the timeless qualities of architecture which emerge from the sensitive and sensible responses to natural forces (Climate and natural resources) in order to meet cultural, aesthetic, and ecological needs.

The facility is an extension for Prescott college. It is composed of a learning center, housing class rooms, laboratories, and offices, as well as some living quarters for students and faculty.

The context of this facility is Prescott, Arizona and the site is an undeveloped 87 acres of land within the city limits. The site also has granite boulders which are unique to the area and has Petroglyphs which will be preserved and honored.
