Hatchery Research Center Interpretive Kiosks, 2006 7 ft deep, 6 ft wide, 8 ft high (each of 3 kiosks). salvaged doulas fir, galvanized steel, copper. This project was a collaboration with architect Yianni Doulis. These three shelters are part of the research center's interpretive and public outreach program. Built of wood, steel and copper, the shelters orient themselves to the views and open up to welcome visitors walking along the trail. The salvaged douglas fir timbers and naturally patinaed copper evoke the colors of the forest and the glint of the creek, while their form abstracts the bones and skin of the salmon swimming just below. The sound of the rain on the copper tiles heightens visitors' awareness of the place, while each of the shelters brings this rain to the ground in a different manner, creating a sense of delight and surprise. Fabrication: Pete Beeman, Yianni Doulis, Ben Jensen, BBC Steel. Thanks to Yianni Doulis, Ben Jensen. |
