This project seeks to design a fieldhouse for donkey basketball, where its experience is inherently embedded within the experience of the site. Key viewpoints and elevation changes will be recognized with contextual relationships within the landscape. The natural embodiment of both the landscape and architecture invites users to explore the building and navigate the site. With this set of design ambitions in mind, interests led to capturing or incorporating existing landscapes using stereotomic structure aspiring to "Semper's Elements". Exploring how the layering of materials and structure doesn’t merely define a spatial volume but extends space into the experience of the landscape. This embodiment of the site and building captures meaningful interactions for both humans and animals.
