Lake|Flato's interpretive center design is predominantly landscape, made up of a series of three Quonset-like buildings that are linked by trellised walkways. The shape of the buildings helps to reduce the size of the structures while also creating walkways and shielding the glazing from the sun for the sake of both the humans and the birds. These trellises further define the outdoor spaces between the buildings, used for recreation and educational activities.
