SHELTER FROM THE STORM, Version 3
Version 3 of SHELTER FROM THE STORM is a variation that uses the same spatial organization as version 2. The main difference between this version and version 2 lies the use of a different style roof (single slope, "shed” roof) and the use of the bypass structure that incorporates single columns and multiple beams as opposed to multiple columns and single beams of version 2.
The roofs make all the difference. The gable roof of version 2 is protective and "introverted. The shed roof of version 3 is "extroverted" and provides very limited protection against the elements of rain and sun. Rather than providing protection, the shed roof in this design provides a symbol human presence. It provides a bounded "civilized" space among the wild natural forest.
