[frame_frame] MISSION MUSEUM

PROJECT DESCRIPTION SUMMARY: The focus of my project is the three most prominent levels I observed while on the site: the creek level, the urban level, and the tree level. The construction of the building mimics the identity of the levels through the density and thickness of material. The intended experience within the building is all about the interaction and framing of the different levels in the mission plaza and the way creek, urban, and tree shapes the landscape and identity of the place. 

PROJECT REFLECTION: Never before have I been able to fill up a whole wall with drawings—over a dozen Bristol sheets with the richness of gesso layers and trace paper. I went through a lot of revisions with this building, but my core ideas about the levels in the site and bridging the creek have always been the backbone of the project; however much the form changed.
