A few local images from the Masonic Temple past/present

Project 2

Project: Design a Guild Hall to serve as a place for celebrating the unique and rich-varied potential of masonry as a building material. 

 

I felt it important to keep the temple within the downtown area. While scouting sites I knew I wanted to explore an urban infill project and thought it important for an eastern orientation. This is the site I chose, it features a slower paced atmosphere but also is conducive to cultural exposure opportunities. The site footprint will be a challenge but I felt it will create for a unique design opportunity.
