LITTLE FALLS RAPTOR CENTER “Materials react with one another through their radiance, so that the material composition gives rise to something unique.” Peter Zumphor The concept of my raptor center is to create spaces based off a rigid modular gridded geometry. I explored the idea of privileged and underprivileged views of the area by creating a set of banded walls. This relates back to the site because my structure is placed at the riverbed area. This area seems to not have the most privileged view but when experiencing that space it gives the user an understanding of it. My structure is an abstraction from the already existing landscape by using the existing rocks as a modular component for the basis of my structure.
