MENDING THE LANDSCAPE :

The proposal was generated from a series of interwoven pathways, represented by elevated circulation corridors; that offer a visual link to the dune and water systems in the surrounding. These corridors also connect the program areas. The wetlands visitor center uses natural light and ventilation to its advantage, allowing the cool breeze from the water to pass through the building volume and the movable main facade louvre regulate the daylight and glare, reducing energy consumtion by 1/3rd. This facility is designed to top LEED standards setting an example for future tourist development in the area.
