The Site and Reseach

Research and Precedents:


The structure above uses the exact materials that I am interested in, concrete structural members accompanied by stained woods.


This photo is a colorful example of a concept that I am interested in. I am still infatuated with this idea of moving panels telling a story and being able to alter space.

Now that I have formulated my opinions about what I feel a Narratorium is, I have begun to do some research into presidents and materials. Above is a concept drawing of a structure that utilizes moving and folding panels. Due to the fact that the skin moves, the structure begins to tell a story of the happenings on the interior of the building
