KIWIKAPAWA / STANDS HERE AND THERE LOCATION / KICKAPOO STATE PARK PROJECT / CAMP GROUND
Kickapoo State Park is a site rich in history, life, and topography. It receives close to 1 million visitors a year. This project seeks to increase visitors by adding an attraction which honors the history of the original settelers, and by adding permanent built cabins to encourage extended stays. As you drive up to the parking lot every intervention is hidden from view by the forest. From the parking lot there is a network of interconnecting unpaved trails created by foot traffic pressing down on the earth. Floating wooden bridges carry you over ponds and roads. There is no direct route and there are many ways to get where you are going so you never have to take the same route and you can have a new experience every time you go for a hike. The big draw to the site is the Kickapoo Memorial. A space that was created to Honor the Kickapoo Indians who were the original settlers of the land and the story of how their home was taken from them. There are no artifacts in this memorial however the monument intends to evoke an emotional response through variations in light and space and materiality where each space tells the story of one of the pivital moment in the Kickapoo history. While the Memorial is intended to draw the visitors we also have a place for them to stay. Upon nearing your cabin and the slope starts to drop towards the lake the earth starts to rise, pushed up as it meets the the large, monolithic concrete support wall which mirrors the slope of the hill and instead creates a ramp carrying you up into the canopy. As you follow the ramp into the trees your view begins to become obscured by the structure and for a breif moment you lose sight of the natural altogether. That is until you step through the door and your view explodes into a large framed view of the lake. After settling in it is time to go exploring. One path takes you to the boathouse where you can rent a kayak or canoe and explore the lake which was carved out of the hills by coal miners in the 1850’s. You can paddle your kayak up to your cabin and walk up the ramp back to grab lunch. If you don’t feel like grilling on your floating porch cantilevered over the water another trail takes you to the community house where there is a full kitchen, an indoor garden, a lounge, restrooms, and showers. Here you can get clean, cook, store refrigerated goods, or just meet other campers.

CONVERGE I was trying to find a realistic topic about society to apply on this abstract project. Thurs, I planned to use spaces to represent a relationship between people in different levels. My structure displays a hierarchical difference based on its plan, elevation, and experience. I first developed my plan and roof from a radial diagram with two focal points representing higher level spaces. Then I extruded these central spaces to emphasize the level difference. Imagine if you are walking along a path heading to the focal point, the roof is getting lower, and the path getting narrower. This will make you feel a pressure, reminding that you are entering a higher-level space. I also broke the roof into fragments and used bent wires to visually increase the number of lines that were all converging to the focal points to enhance the feeling of pressure. People can feel a division of hierarchy by either observing the whole site or walking through the spaces.
