Shapeshift

As a viewer moves through the space, the relationship between Shapeshift and the site continually changes. When viewed from the street, it replicates the receding rooflines on either side of it. From underneath, it operates as a dramatic directional device pointing downwards. From the other side of the river, the large “V” could easily reference migrating geese common in this part of the country. Acting as a glowing addition, it subtly fills the space between the buildings, echoing the existing attributes while also introducing itself as a new element to the site.
