Not Enough <-> Too Much

The project examines the instantaneous toggle between not enough of something, and too much of it.  I posit the distinction between the two as an authored construct, especially within the context of the Sonoran Desert.  On a site where city, nature preserve, and military range meet, the enclosure combines isolation–creating a space for multiple publics to negotiate opposing exprectations. Due to the physical programmatic overlap, the users would selectively cohabitate.  Reflective fins shepherd you through the boundary in the nature reserve.  For the admission requiring city programs, the enclosure becomes a fenced queue.  The third and final enclosure prevents passage into the target range of the military.  Its canopy offers shade for viewership thus converting destruction into spectacle.
