The Becoming Landscape || The Becoming Building

Becoming Shed. Near Prairie du Rocher

The interface between floodplane and bluff in the American Bottom is a menagerie of landscape and architectural types that borrow from the intelligence of both--creating a hybrid typology that is not wholly of the landscape nor wholly of the structure. This shed, and the National Archives Record Administration building below, are just a few of the ways this edge condition is inhabited.
