Yes it's a box and it's beautiful


Exterior watercolor of the GSP expansion comprehensive project. I'm working with Jessica Jeager. And she is pretty much awesome. The project uses dark and light as a way to direct movement. Light fills this 4 story space where the top two stories break above the ground bringing light into the bottom two stories which are submerged underground. The entry to the airport is underground allowing a public garden to surround the box and creating an architecture to emerge in the forest and surrounding landscape.

We are still working on a shading device which must celebrate the glass box without covering it and dissolving its idea.

Any ideas?

i'm curious about how you're controlling dark/light with a big glass box?

the image is nice, but it seems like it's up to this shading technology to make the box perform/become a little more contemporary.

have you thought about playing around more with the underground space? like, can we somehow see the space that is underground from far away?
