Center for Urban Ecology
This project located on the corner of MacArthur Blvd. and Elliot Pl. in Washington, DC called for a new design for the Center of Urban Ecology. Originally titled “Building within a Landscape”, the project called for a response to the existing site, by changing the topography and responding the existing building on site. This design is loosely based on the Statue of Liberty museum on Liberty Island as it has a strong relationship between building and site. The design has education spaces loacted inside the building and outdoors with various exhibit spaces where people can gather. The site also incorporates a greenhouse.
