East Barre • Vermont
University of Miami School of Architecture
Lyceum Competition
The site is a granite quarry located in Vermont, the idea for the program is to create a community around the quarry using the natural properties of the site to enhance the abilities & talents of the artists. Spreading out the program around the site enables to fill up the abandon quarry, and with it, bring back the interaction between people to the natural world. The cantilevered structures that greet the contour of the southern edge of the quarry is an attempt to provide minimal destruction to the landscape and allow most studios to receive the soft sunlight coming from the north. Each studio is designed with skylights that stretch the ability to experience the different weather conditions of the site through the curved form that allows different elements to glide down the roof and reduce heavy loads on the roof.
