This project explores the binaries of vague vs. defined spaces, it blurs the public spaces to allow visitors to be able to walk around without the anxiety of entering a new building, and use enclosures that resemble boat parts or industrial carcasses, to first of all organize defined spaces for programs that require more privacy and quiet, and to second of all, delineate the Kneass Building’s history as a boat making shop. It also explores the binaries of organic vs. architectural forms, in relation to informal vs. formal spaces. In this case, formal spaces would be classrooms, and informal spaces would be public and communal spaces.
