One of the architecture projects early in the curriculum tasked students to identify a real world site and design a community living space within. My response to this prompt was wandering the nearby wilderness (pictured at right). I imagined a new narrative for this space: a carved out stretch of land sits between tall wooden pylons of a forgotten age. A riverbend provides a clean water source for the survivors of an unknown apocalypse. Toxins have been washed away and the world has begun to heal. Humanity starts anew. A small dam is built to provide running water thru the settlement. 

Even in a far flung future, humanity falls back on symmetry and familiar geometry. Two domicile buildings flank the central multipurpose spaces. Hatching is used in the drawings to illustrate the materiality of the site and structures.
