Status: Completed 2022
Architect of Record: Endrestudio
Unity Park's wetlands restoration project is a masterpiece of ecological design, seamlessly blending nature with architectural innovation. The centerpiece is a sinuous boardwalk that gracefully arcs through the landscape, punctuated with the outdoor classroom contained within this hyperbolic-shell-structure. Deftly defying gravity with it's pin-point connection to the earth, this living laboratory expresses the subtle tension between light,shadow and nature. The boardwalk's fluid form guides visitors through a once-overlooked ecosystem, while strategic overlooks offer immersive vantage points framing the diverse flora and fauna.
