This project is located on Tucson in adjacency with the Tucson warehouse transfer building. It is essentially a recreation hub including programs for both the outdoor and indoor spaces. The architecture is about merging these spaces and drawing visitors to the site, then illuminating paths that guide them through. To begin, a couple of frames were placed on the site and arranged to link a continuous view from one side to the other side of the site. The frames, through observation and study, evolved into 3 separate buildings, not only framing the continuous view but linking a series of with outdoor spaces in between. Together, they serve as a beacon; attracting, illuminating and guiding visitors to and through the site.
