DESIGN STATEMENT:
TERR-EATERY
The communities of Senegal are anything but anti-Social. It can be seen (and heard) every day in the bustle of marketplaces and public spaces throughout the region. The Terr-Eatery dining hall promotes a continuation of this social interaction for the campus. Through fluid form and familiar earthen textures, this space invites its guests to feel perfectly comfortable socializing and enjoying the learning community surrounding them. Providing both space and accommodation for nourishment, as well as the infrastructure for getting to know fellow classmates, the Terr-Eatery rises straight up from the ground as though it has always been there, waiting to promote community. The weighted freeform tent anchors provide a well-defined perimeter whilst leaving plenty of open viewing and speaking space. In addition to a free horizontal condition, the lightweight dynamic floating canvas roof system keeps the visitors’ cross-view space open and free-flowing. The juxtaposition of texture between the marbled surface of the poured earth roof anchors and retaining walls holding in the floor of compacted soil makes a clear definition of open communal space and will become the central social node for the campus. Raised two feet from the Earth, the Terr-Eatery consistently provides space for a vibrant community to thrive.
