Situated in Upstate New York, the centre serves as a bridge that spans a creek and links existing red barns across the site. The central gathering space, expanded through the curved geometry, acts as the communal heart for learning, dialogue, and cultural exchange.
Overview
Crafted primarily from timber, the centre harmonizes with the landscape while honoring Haudenosaunee traditions, embodying the interplay of cultural heritage, environmental responsibility, and innovative design.
