"The Embassy of El Norte in New France"




The embassy, a megalithic pair of buildings buried into the Louisiana sediment brings forth the gift of time, flowing through and pooling in places, with perseverance, wonder, reminiscence, and tradition all coalescing in a space carved through over time. The journey through the embassy guides you deeper into the land, nearer to the roots from which cultural expression is derived in hopes of facilitating contemplation and further exploration.

It seeks to tackle the subject of the two nations' geographic variance; aridity contrasting with moisture, greenery versus stone, and the base principles of erosion and resultant deposition.
