When you were a kid, did you ever use trees as shelter in the winter? Did you hide under the thicket, lie on your back and look through the porous openings in the canopy? The boughs, interlocking and laden with snow formed a repetitive arcade, an environment open yet enclosing, a cross between gateway and haven.
"Island" seeks to employ these qualities as Iogic towards a space that invites respite through environment rather than monument. As an island on the river it is an oasis from the trait, a reprieve from the wind and a moment to sit and stare. It becomes a landmark whose shape and material depicts a natural gathering of trees now compressed by snow, whose boughs form a canopy that imparts protection and enclosure white still remaining open to the world around.
