PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
My structure, composing of 4 ‘blocks’ on a floating platform, provides ‘micro-homes’, a store and a museum.
The first constitutes of a general store, plus restaurant.
The second and third are residential, containing two ‘micro-homes’ each.
The fourth houses the Puget Sound Museum (American Indians, Europeans’ arrival, environmental awareness, shipping, the ex-Army fort.) Marine creatures viewed through glass floor. Includes ferry stop.
Supported by pontoons. Alloys, glass make up its structure. Energy collected from seawater - salt conducts energy.
I designed it this way because it’s 'green', hi-tech, serves the historical and functional needs of the community, and I like it!
Fantastic little multi-use project - very complex, and intricately modeled. Images like 'Salmon Walk High' & 'Tower' suggest a series of impressively rich spacial relationships - very nice. I do wish there were a couple more (or better?) overview shots so I could better understand the whole set-piece - a section would be helpful as well.
