masonic amphitheatre.
design/buildLAB is a Virginia Tech Architecture Program led by Professors Keith and Marie Zawistowski. It allows a team of third year architecture students to experience both the design AND construction
process from its start to finish.
Our project began with previous year’s work of Covington Farmers Market which reused lumber from an old tire warehouse in Clifton Forge, leaving the site with nothing but a slab of concrete. The Town of Clifton Forge saw this as an opportunity for community revitalization and asked the Zawistowskis, who were working on the renovation of the Masonic Theater in Clifton Forge, to design an outdoor amphitheater for the community.
