Rendering North Elevation
2018

The unbuilt proposal includes spaces for forest historian Michael Kudish's extensive archives, offices, and fundraising events. The design was inspired by wood barn construction and a makeshift stage, the only existing structure on the project site in Delaware County In New York state. The steep slope afforded an opportunity to incorporate outdoor seating for viewers of performances on a new stage.
