TRIANGLE GARDEN
The Triangle Garden Sculpture Park guides visitors through an arrangement of rolling green hills to each of its ten unique statues. The large, triangular-shaped pathways cut through the landscape in a dramatic fashion, while the curved pathways mold to the natural topography, providing visitors a sense of mystery as they traverse the site.
The Triangle Garden Visitor Center is modeled after the unique shapes and planes found in natural rock formations. Concrete is utilized to create a feeling of permanence and stability, and to provide a sense of relief when natural light enters the building, much like what one would feel at the opening of a cave. Sliding glass doors enable visitors to easily transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. The triangles on the exterior cast shadows that permeate the interior, altering the natural light inside throughout the day.
The Triangle Garden stands in sharp contrast to the surrounding landscape. It creates a sense of wonder and exploration that one might not otherwise encounter. Throughout the site, nature is both commanded and obeyed; altered and preserved; highlighted and overshadowed. Visitors occupy the Triangle Garden like plants growing in long abandoned structures; they contribute life and vibrance to otherwise unchanging places.

PERFORMING
Cities are divided in many different ways. The city of Champaign, IL, is best understood when broken up into pieces. The city can be broken up into parts by different roads, bike paths, and parking lots, as well as by the Public Land Survey System.
Pedestrian experience is another way in which a city can be divided. The presence of overhead planes can help create distinct areas in which people can exist, and influence how they feel about the space.
This space for performing adds to Champaign a new small-scale performing arts center, complete with a recital stage, a black box theater, and numerous multi-purpose rehersal rooms. The myriad of overlapping planes present in this building not only define the horizontal division of space, but oppurtunities for the definition of vertical planes through the shadows they create.

Cities are divided in many dif ferent ways. The city of Cham paign, IL, is best understood when broken up into piec es. Map 1 displays modes of transportation in downtown Champaign. The city can be broken up into parts by dif ferent roads, bike paths, and parking lots. Map 2 shows how Champaign is divided into sections by the Public Land Survey System.
Dividing cities on a smaller scale is equally integral to city design. In many urban centers, the quality of pedestrian experience is integral. One characteristic of many of these pedestrian areas that felt safe was the presence of overhead planes.
In these outdoor pedestrian areas, overhead planes help create an enclosed feeling, which then creates a general feeling of “protectedness” and “safety.”
