This is the work I completed for my M.Arch Thesis at the University of Minnesota TC. My project was based on relevance of an experiential connection to nature in urban environments. I sought to create a urban nature discovery center near downtown St. Paul that would immerse the user into a existing "natural" landscape, and provide many different perspectives of and experiences with this landscape.
