A lodge at Crowder's Mountain provides the opportunity through which to investigate the contextual relationship between a natural undisturbed site and the introduction of a man-made environment. responsible design should instill a ‘sense of place’ by addressing the special forces within each site. in search of this ‘sense of place’ my efforts involve the development and integration of forms, materials, and spaces which are generated directly from the physical and qualitative characteristics of the site. / Master of Architecture
