The creation of a robust material system that coordinates together material + geometry + weather.

Very rarely do we coordinate our built world for both human and atmospheric occupants. On the human side this space provides a small private site of individual human self care: sleeping or bathing. On the environmental side, the material system mediates the weather, making use of the atmospheric behaviors such as: temperature change, phase change, water movement, wind speed, passive lighting, growth and decay, or the like. The selected territory runs along the Huron River, an edge condition created from flowing water and the protected pastures and forest of the Arboretum. The site provides a physical location that can be tracked for its precise shifts of: weather, solar/night exposure, historical maximums/minimums, seasonal shifts, and anomalies. The tighter the project grabs those the atmospheric and environmental conditions of the site, the better. These are invaluable inputs and are to be inherently tied into the logic of the system both physically and computationally.
