The Center of Gravity Foundation
Hall is designed by Predock
Frane Architects as a fusion of "ancient traditions
of Japanese Zen Buddhist architecture with the context of
northern New Mexico's architecture." To balance these
seemingly opposite ideas, the architects use the enclosing
walls symbolically: one wall is light (polycarbonate on
timberstrand) and the other is heavy (rammed earth). The roof
projects up to 14' beyond the walls to protect them from the
elements and shade the interior from the summer sun. |
