curved walk, Environmental Center

Looking from the street along what will be the south entry path to the Eugene Young Environmental Center, we sense what the entering experience will be. A long, curved walk will pass plantings punctuated by wall segments, with the goal of the building itself in the far distance. Note that soil is now bermed up against its walls. The intended effect is that the building will seem partly hidden in the earth and in plantings, as if growing up out of them.
