Project Brief:
What can architecture provide as a recreation for an Agoraphobic user to experience the bold exposure of the prairie within the immersion of the forest?
“...The most restful place in all the world for me is in a wood, where there is much variety in the trees and plenty of underbrush, with here and there low hills and little valleys...I love the quiet places by the woods, I love quiet, restful landscapes to rest my eyes and soothe my spirit. On the other hand, let the landscape be bold and rugged and bleak and it strikes terror into my soul.”
(Vincent, 1919: 298)
