Observatory
Instructor: Nathaniel Elberfeld · Forest Park, St. Louis, MO. Fall 2015
The observatory explores the phenomenon created by sunlight passing through leaves, resulting in a glowing effect as well as forming shadows on the bark. Sited between two trees, the structure of the observatory grows from the topography using a triangular system. Visitors walk along the roof or enter through openings which guide them just below ground-level.
