A continuous split of surfaces may receive light at different angles but will appear relatively flat from one perspective. This is a type of illusion which reveals a space to be wider and deeper than anticipated, forming a parallax condition. As a frame is projected and skewed, volumes are created, where the eye is then forced to scan the horizon to understand the extent of the space. Only moving further into it will it expose hidden behind.

Plan
Upon entering the site from Mammoth Cave Road, visitors are drawn into the atrium, where the core then redirects them the opposite direction from which they are drawn. The programmatic spaces are only found through explorative measures, simulating the navigational experience of a cave. These areas unveil themselves through distinct angular trajectories. Public and private spaces interweave the site, occasionally with overlaps to create adjacencies for viewership.

Plan
By allowing the land to breach the building, surreptitious campgrounds are created for incoming cavers. Throughout the building, every corner reveals another projection presenting activity. Geared towards both families and individuals, formal or informal, the site provides a niche for all. Navigation occurs through primary and secondary zones, where lineally, public becomes more private. Commercial ventures are paired with office, offering ongoing services and activity for all NSS members and non.

The proposed project attempts to simulate the distortions that occur from projections, revealing spaces at every turn to navigate the visitor through the building. Additional programs such as a a research and labratory would draw academic investments into Mammoth Cave region. Safe family campgrounds and temporary units would also encourage extended visitation periods for surrounding growth.

This project is inspired by cave hydrology. I looked at different ways that water moves through a cave--drip, pond, flow, eddy--as a conceptual strategy for arranging the building on site, organizing program and for inspiration for the ways light spills through the space. The title “Nagare” is Japanese for “to flow”, this was an appropriate title as elegant Japanese architecture served as inspiration for this project.

Process Work The collages shown were a way to identify and develop the material qualities of different spaces. The top image is a study of a “dripping space�, or a space in which people would meander through. Then there is a ponding space, one which collects people. And finally, a faster flowing space.
A series of flow studies was done to better understand the relationships between different types of flow.

Light_Boxes Yunyuan Deng
The way how we feel a specific cave is by only remembering the special moment such as the special geological typology. This project tries to translate the natural geological cave language to an architectural language. Another fascinating point of cave is the changing of the light quality. Actually, light enhances the special caving moment. For example, the light tells the cavers where the exit is. Located at a hill slope, the site condition can help to create the atmosphere combined of light, temperature, sound and so on. The building has three different kinds of relationship with the ground, underground, above the ground and cantilevered from the ground. Entering the building by crossing some boxes from the hilltop, people cannot make sure whether they are underground or above the ground. This is
also another experience people have in real caves. These boxes work as “light creators”, since the boxes change the light quality which casts on the interior surface. The boxes are not at the same level, they sometimes block people’s view, sometimes create delusion and illusion of the building position. In terms of the program, the floating boxes are for member and staff, while the museum part for the visitor is the large space underneath these boxes. Instead of making an artificial cave, this project lets people recall the experience they have in the real caves with the special atmosphere.

CHAPTER 15 / 205 NSS Headquarters Proposal / page 207 Site and Floor Plans / page 209 Sections and Elevations / page 211 Perspectives / page 213
National Speleological Society Headquarters Proposal My proposal is located on mammoth cave rd. In cave city, kentucky, just off of i-65. The site has easy highway access, and is near the entrance to mammoth cave national park. My project used cave mapping symbology together with my experiences underground to create a building proposal that uses perception to allow the building to reveal itself to the visitor. The building is separated into three areas; administration, museum, and members. Each of these areas is then connected to an adjoining area by an interstitial space. The courtyard connects the museum and administration through the lattice structure that spans both portions. The density of the lattice allows someone in the courtyard to understand the programming of the space beyond, it also creates an entry sequence that plays up the shadows, reflections and overlaps of the lattice allowing for a thick interstitial space to unfold around the visitor entering the building. The museum, member, and administration spaces are all hinged around the vertical training space. It allows for museum goers to get a glimps of cavers training, as well as allows admininistrators to quickly transition from work to training. Outside, i created a terraced retaining wall to meet up with the building where the ground has been manipulated to both inform a visitor of the excavation that has taken place, as well as activate the landscape to encourage visitors to interact with the site. One section of the building has been depressed below the terraces, allowing for a visitor to interact with the building itself, and to realize that there is a structure beneath them, just as caves lie beneath much of the ground in kentucky.

Project // ANCHORED ANCHORED establishes the NSS Heaquarters as a center for program focus, public outreach and environmental protection. In a move towards valuable membership succession, the headquarters will function as an “anchor” for the NSS in pursuit of a position that bridges the realm of cave exploration, scientific research and natural preservation. The investigation within the ANCHORED project began with an analysis of the “rack” rappelling device in comparison to NSS stakeholders and interdependent relationships of the headquarter program. The ANCHORED NSS Headquarters mixes the museum experience of a visiting non-caver with the training realities of an experienced member; exhibition program wraps around a focal rappelling tower, a synthetic, vertical “cave” interior. The act of caving is exposed, a living and constant display of dynamic, exciting technique.

generative site model Project studies developed through an understanding of three specific program stakeholders, their interaction with specific parts of building program and ultimate role in the further ambitions of re-conceived NSS trajectory. These relationships were physically translated onto a â&#x20AC;&#x153;generativeâ&#x20AC;? site model that served to represent through overlapping building masses, possible connections and arrangements of the NSS headquarters.

administrators
The existing terrain of the site in Cave City includes the convergence of a subtle ridge and a shallow gulley at the east corner of the parcel. Terrain anchors traverse the highest and shallowest points of these landforms, spaced every 50â&#x20AC;&#x2122; on the site diagram.
Considering the administrative pragmatics of the NSS as a book distributor and archiving agent, administrative anchors recognize a link to external transportation infrastrctures; this is in consideration of the NSS HQ facility as a both an information distribution center and an accessible landmark.

As a major crux of the existing NSS framework, membership establishes a geographical spine within the site. NSS membership is invaluable to the succession of the NSS as a society of collective interests, however, it is through the passion of cavers and enthusiasts that such precious environments can be preserved and better inform our surficial impacts.
In order to succeed an aging membership base, visitorship to the NSS HQ should be readily accomodated through attraction programming, training facilities and on-site accommodation facilities. The orange visitor anchor follows along the perimeter of what was initially perceived as a forest campground for overnight visitors.
