Human beings have a history of landscape alteration: pyramids, aqueducts, and deforestation. Modern lifestyles are made possible by industries throughout the world, but we take them for granted. The natural world is transformed by industry, particularly those that extract raw materials and resources from the land.

The charge was to design a building complex for an institution devoted primarily for visual, literary, landscape and performing artists. The design concepts were to engage the site in a significant way, commensurate with the size, scale and emotional impact of the quarry. The project program was comprised of four program elements: an Educational Pavilion, Artists Studios, Artists Residences, and a Public Memorial.
Concept:
"Humanity has made great and terrible decisions, and our choices have left scars on the earth, scars that will survive us all. It is what we do moving forward that defines us, as a race, a species, as something that exists so small in something much more vast then what we are.
Joy comes from knowing the temporary is what makes life worth living for."
