The Triskelion is a Celtic symbol for balance in threes, often interpreted as the relationship between mind-body-soul, or land-water-sky. This form provided a basis for my concept, that one can gain different perspectives on their emotions, feelings and states of mind through the act of meditation. The Triskelion allows for an ever-changing, never-ending corridor through which one walks, in a form of meditation. Moving through, one connects with the land, water and air, finding balance, focus, and solace.

Five strands of curved metal arch over the three levels of raised stage at the north corner of the lot. From these arches, a metal lattice canopy is suspended, upon which lighting and props can be hung in any orientation.Each level of stage can be underlit, providing substantial light for nighttime events and general use. More metal strands run along the ground, providing seating facing the stages and the street. The paved plaza is a versatile urban setting where events ranging from music and film festivals to political speeches and weddings can be held.

This project originated from an analysis of David Adjaye’s Dirty House in London where two artists reside. I designed an art gallery across the street from the house for the artists to display their work. I used the forms of the rooms from the house and inverted them, making interior spaces open to the elements and exterior spaces closed galleries. I then rearranged them to create circulation pathways and a compelling progression of spaces. In the drawings, I focused on detailing two of the eight bays. Each gallery space was designed for a specific art piece.
