BOAT HOUSE | geographical evolutions of Onondaga Lake Perspective Section
| the mass structure is stacked by pieces of stones stacked and fabricated at local Ononadaga Lake, NY | the stones are carved out to create spaces for tourists to walk | erosion of stones occurred from water dripping from the roof and lake water | the stones react to the rain and lake water by erosion evolution, it would probably disappear in the future 100 years
50 years in the future: stone breaks and bigger craccks, plants started to grow
water drips from the slanted roof and down through the curved surface
30 years in the future: stone starts to get little cracked and weathered
presence: shale is cut into paneled and stacked up
see through steel mesh

ON THE ROAD... | I-90 highway| Montana | Road House that serves people who are traveling on I-90 highway in Montana | local textures of the landscape are being observed and analyzed: irrigation field vs. dry weed grass | Road House responds to the landscape by channeling rain water with concrete panels and allowing them to flow down to ground to create another type of landscape pattern | water flows from the channels on the roof to the ground to be part of the earth
start- rainfalls
two major types of textures were existent in the landscape: Dendrentic and Irrigation Patterns Man-made vs. Natural
water flows
