The presence of sound is proven to have tremendous impact on human behavior. What if sound could synthesize the work between scientists and artists?
The project facilitates this synergy in a remote wetland research center, creating an unassuming environment for both nature and creativity to flourish.
Located on a proposed mitigation bank, the site's proximity to water allows it to be easily accessible by boat, while creating a remote location for introspective creation and research.
With only boat access to the pavilion, the research station has spaces to live, eat, sleep, and create amongst nature. Dedicated zones for scientists, artists, and volunteers sets up an efficient system for all parties involved.
Each building views and listens to the central research space, allowing for artists and scientists to interact subconsciously with the environment.
