FORK OF THE ROAD

FALL 2022 | Natchez,MS

An Interpretation center for dissemination of knowledge of natural or cultural heritage. The objective being to create feeling with light and space. Design an atmosphere to attribute to the emotion of the space. Projecting empathy for those once objectified and owned. The Forks of the Road Market was a slave market in Natchez, Mississippi. It was largely developed by John Armfield and Isaac Franklin, who in 1833 capitalized on the difference in slave prices in the middle Atlantic states of Virginia and Maryland and the deep south. The centers design incorporates 4 aspects of the slave trade the; (Forgetting tree) used to disorient slaves before shipment. (Door or no return) dark entrance into a dark life ahead but allowing peaks of light in remembrance of a brighter life left behind or day to come. (Barracoons) enclosures in which slaves were confined. (Triangles) interior for structural and exterior, a pyramid mounment representing strength possessed by slaves enduring slavery.

The Charcoal illustrations explore concept of light in space and how it may be used to invoke the emotion of sadness and darkness in relationship to the dark history of the slave trade site and museum

The design and form concept of the pavilion was inspired by the interest of abstract art and modern Architecture. The curves and flow of the pavilion have been designed to help flow into nature. The structures sides utilize a recycled plastic and the rooftop recycled metal. The sides have been slightly exposed exhibiting the wooden support beams for structure allowing visitors to continue to enjoy the sounds and beauty of nature around them. The structure sits nestled at the top of a hill with small sitting holes placed in Front for a private and intimate experience with nature. Located above the sitting holes are walkouts for others to stand or sit and enjoy a view of the environment and Lake.
