Topsy Turvy

A Red Hook middle school focused on freedom, exploration, expression, and adaptability. A common theme of harsh grids was discovered during my site analysis. This grid system consumes A-frame huts inspired by the precedent City in Sky which flip, rotate, and scale to accomodate different, ever-evolving environments.

This topsy - turvy module sits on a controlled pool of water which will rise and recede dependent on the flood prone location’s weather. This will change the point of entry through the revolving windowed facade and grant everchanging view points. The module floats away into the park accross the street breaking the rigid grid system found in it’s surroundings.
