NCAR Landscape Design in Boulder: Alternative 3

Here is landscape design alternative #3 I presented to NCAR in Boulder, CO:

Landscape Design Alternative #2 for NCAR in Boulder, CO

The architectural style of this landscape design alternative is most akin to that of the building itself. The architect who was involved making minor modification to the building structure, Steve Loos, asked me to develop an alternative that reflected the architectural design gesture of NCAR as I.M. Pei had designed it in the early 60’s. This was really his launching pad to international prominence, therefore it was a very important building to him. He had taken his inspiration from the geometric forms of Anasazi cliff dwellings found in Mesa Verde. So with this alternative, I’m now trying to take these geometric patterns and apply them to the horizontal landscape, much as he had applied them to the vertical landscape.
