Entrada Art and Education Building

Fall 2007

The Entrada Ranch Educational Center designed for southern Utah.


The complex has rooms for inhabiting while studying on the ranch for students. For this project I focused on the site and listening to what it had to say. The form took on the contour shape with the rooms breaking off of that. A large thermal mass curved wall with operable top lights for ventilation shields the south side. The entrance nook and south windows are covered in a wire mesh with sticks from the site woven into it to help with the solar gain.
