PIESTEWA PEAK SITE ANALYSIS In addition to standard site analysis diagraming, the below graphic is an in-depth study on how the geology of the site has influenced space. After showing the different rock types, shadows, and fault lines, and geometries one can follow the progression to the identified of “Fault Spaces” on the site.
A compelling structure protrudes out of the geometric mountain providing spaces of prospect and refuge for the community.

Scope of Work
Reverse faults are created from compressional stress between two plates deep within the crust. As a result, the hanging wall is pushed up above the foot wall.

A “Refuge Space” is formed when a hanging wall creates a sense of protection and shelter for the visitor. In a “Fault Space” a user should be able to lean against the rodk face and feel comfortable enough to read a book.

Understanding the refuge spaces influenced by the geology of the site determined the best place to build on the site. Positioned right off of the road insures minimal impact to the landscape

After identifying the essential programs of a library and studying their primary function, programs were catagorized as either refuge or prospect. Form was then altered in section in order to provide optimal spaces for the program
