SINUOUS TACTILITY / 2019 with Zixiong Lin

BOONE, IA, USA

PHASE II

A rural city located 35 miles NW of Des Moines.

The municipal airport is outside of town on the Eastern side.

The site is surrounded by farm fields and typical farmstead typologies.

Our master plan contrasts this context with a response centered on the movement of wind and sun.

AIRPORT DESIGN Models, made of paper and paste, provide inspiration for this redesign.

The idea of a column and ribbon from these models, as well as the themes of veiling and atmospheric response undergird our site plan and massing form.

Programming is centralized in one building. The exterior landscape sprawls with a flexible drone course.

COOP ITERATIONS DEFINE IDENTITY

this rigorous, iterative exercise seeks to question the core tenet of a construction site: change. when a moment of change is captured, its movement lies latent, betraying a stirring narrative of dynamism, depth, order, reflection, and suspension. these stories reveal a temporarily defined world, a concrete transience.
