3 Design Statement Just as soul depicts the character of man, architecture portrays the character of functional space. Architecture is an art that instills space with depth and temperament in ways that enhance the overall experience of the space. This experience parallels that of a pure soul; delineating freedom, openness, and simplicity. Architecture has the potential to separate an area from its surrounding world. An environment that objectifies freedom, openness, and simplicity can transform the harsh and hectic into comfortable and calm. In this way architecture can cleanse and purify. -Nicole Geier

13 Design 12 Idea of a barn Idea of a abandoned barn -Building looks like its tipping over on top of the ground -Below the ground building is square and once inside it opens up into a big space. -Gives a feeling one is walking into a small building but it continues underground into a bigger space Post and Beam Construction Trusses support diagonal posts Siding and Aluminum metal ( in the inside of building) also support structure 8 x8 posts and beams Use of Maple wood for the structure and Cherry wood for siding Aluminum Metal in the interior and for the roof Aluminum metal is white and in construction it can be bent and curved in different ways The roof makes building look smaller than it really is One would slide down into the space, as if one was to do in a snow fort As one reaches the bottom of the slide, from floor to ceiling the height is 12-15ft Aluminum metal in the interior gives a feeling that snow is inside the building
