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:
The project deals with the contrast between the natural landscape and industry's stain on nature. This is expressed through a processional approach to the site by using key, framed views during a visitor's approach to, and throughout the rest of the site - providing brief glimpses of the site then ultimately, letting the site reveal itself.
