Narrative

The approach of the design is to initiate a warm welcome to the Jack Dangermond Preserve and open its doors to the public and additional research. For the public, it will introduce a journey experience along the coast where people can see the landscape form, feel the cool coastal breezes, enjoy biking trails and experience the preserve. To support further research, we introduce scientists to a brand new laboratory site, along with dormitories a short walk away. The impact on the sensitive ecosystems and the preserve itself has been considered throughout the entire site selection and design process. GIS data was reviewed intensively and implemented to our design process.

To bring people closer to nature in a safe and controlled way.

Narrative

The Transportation Center for Dangermond Preserve is located near Cojo Gate, allowing visitors to park and leave their vehicles here as they set off on their journey towards the Visitor Center or the many biking or hiking trails. The preserve would prefer to keep vehicles on road to a minimum and encourage the use of a shuttle system or biking trails. This will minimize the number of vehicles driving through the sensitive vegetation, thus reducing the risk of damaging the fragile ecosystems. Giving Dangermond Presere control of how people will be able to interact with the preserve is of high importance.
