Design Development Design development was principally an exercise is taking advantage of the Lshape in plan to accommodate the program as defined. From the program, it was clear that the space needed to be agile and multi-functional. Development began with sketches related to subdiving the space into zones for the diverse activties conducted. One zone for large group instruction and experimentation. One zone for more intimate small group and individual tasks.

1st Plan Iteration
As a project with a tectonically-derived thesis, L-shaped structural members as identified in the site analysis and concept phase were celebrated by being exposed to occupants. Structures are partially embedded into the site to reinforce the concept of growing out of the site.
The first iteration attempts to accommodate the diverse activities identified for the space by taking advantage of the L-shaped plan to sub-divide the space without interior partitions.

2nd Plan Iteration The second iteration pushed the development even farther to include a second L-shaped outdoor space that underlaps the previous plan to create a partially sheltered outdoor instructional space.
Tectonic Perspective Model - 2nd Iteration As an instructional space related to the study of fauna, it was appropriate to embed the structure within the densely forested portion of the site and provide glazing to the immediate vacinity.
