PROJECT SUMMARY Gathering Together | Gathering In | Rising Up | Reaching Out Approximately 22,500 SF enclosed conditioned space in program, plus exterior facilities including track and pool. A series of pavilions where triathletes who commit two weeks to intense coaching and practice work with specialized trainers. Each pavilion focuses on a particular aspect of the endurance sport: swimming, biking, running, strength conditioning, stretching, fueling, and gathering. As athletes and trainers start from different points and move through different paths in pursuit of the same goal, the site is organized along an indirect path that loops back on itself. Individual training focuses are gathering nodes along the pilgrim path.

CLIENT DESIGN GOALS To provide leading edge training facilities and an attractive early season practice destination to athletes who commit two weeks to training in the Sonoran desert retreat from the outside world in order to focus on their sport and gather around their common goals, efforts, successes, and celebrations. STUDENT PROJECT Comprehensive building design with focus on sustainable practices.

PROJECT SUMMARY This jewel box is primarily for gathering together winter treasures. It is sized to hold existing, new, and future jewels for the next 100 years. The Jewel Box Performance Hall started from the idea of precious experiences, spaces, and buildings to be maintained and built on for the future. For example, preserving the conversation gathering area and fire pit in the historic Julie Harris Theatre. Facilities should continue the immersion in nature on which the camp was founded 100 years ago; in deep winter using views and connection to the outdoors. Spaces are oriented both to be viewed and for views out and through adjacent spaces to natural beauty. Rooms and spaces are precious to different users for different reasons. Circulation areas surrounding and connecting these important activities can be precious and flexible for more than just moving from place to place. Initial 10-year development program called for approximately 23,000 SF heated space. CLIENT DESIGN GOALS Evolve the core creative practices program. Restore balance with the land on the 72 acre site. Clarify an honest vernacular for the next 100 years. Reconnect with the nearby city and the outside world. STUDENT PROJECT Conceptual and early design development.
