This 4,400 square foot building is a retail/snack center at Camp Cho-Yeh, located in the wooded area of Livingston, Texas. The Trading Post is meant to be the hang-out center at the camp, a place to eat, shop, play, connect, and relax. It is situated on a sloped site in the middle of the camp ground, next to the new ropes course, surrounded by beautiful giant loblolly pines.
The Kumbh Mela camp designs are conceptually rooted in Indian tradition. For the Kumbh 2019, the focus was on using rich, decorative carvings and paintings, typically found in traditional towns of Madhya Pradesh. As a reflection of the vision of the Spiritual Head of the organization, the camp was conceived like a traditional Indian fortress, which would typically have within, a Palace, a Temple, a Yagyashala, Dining Halls and Kitchens, and houses to accommodate permanent residents as well as visitors. A person would experience the grandeur of the largest camp of the Kumbh Mela by entering through a 52 ft high entrance gate in a 913 ft long wall with the look of a fortress.
The project is located in the darien province in the republic of panama. The darien province is in the eastern end of the country bordering wirh colombia and the pacific ocean. More than 1/4 of the province is protected forest reserves. This area is locarted in the heart of central america’s most bio-diverse region.
The “darien gap” is located here, an extense and large region of undeveloped swampland and humid lowland forests, with no roads (the missing link of the pn-american highway). In this reagion is easy to spot harpy eagles (panama’s national bird, and crested eagle as well as a diverse amount of birds).
Canopy is something of a buzz word at the moment and like any buzz word is rather over used, popular because it refers to a certain notion of nature that harks back to the earth’s beginning. Yet despite this over use, this is exactly what comes to mind when visiting Tectoniques’ project in Givors, a town close to the city of Lyon.

KALAMAZOO, Mich. – One of the country’s older nature-based day camps has undergone a significant facilities makeover to enhance its mission to provide safe experiences that allow children to grow into active and respectful community members through exploration of the natural world.
Smith|Allen participated in the Project 387 Residency, located in Mendocino Country from August 4-18, 2013. In the heart of a 150-acre redwood forest, Smith|Allen has created a site responsive, 3D printed architectural installation (the largest of it’s kind): Echoviren. The project merges architecture, art and technology to explore the dialectic between man, machine and nature. The Project 387 open house and reception was Saturday, August 17.
Software used: Adobe Illustrator, Rhino 5, grasshopper, weaverbird, and paneling tools for design, and KISSlicer+Pronterface with our Type A Machines Series 1 Printers for the 3D printing fabrication
Camp at Cabot Beach is designed to address the needs of children between the ages of 8-17 who are living in families that have been affected by chronic illness or disability. The camp was established 5 years ago and runs for 3 weeks every August. In 2009 they needed new facilities.
This new development is the extension of a summer camp built in the late 80s. The old buildings of the Folk Arts Camp were designed by Dezso Ekler and received wide publicity at the time. Now three new buildings are planned to build: a reception building, a building for different activities and a building accommodating sanitary facilities. The local council insisted on the new constructions also bearing the mark of the original buildings’ architect, and the designer interpreted this by enlarging his signature as buildings.
The dramatic setting for this unusual project is a 110,000-acre private ranch in north-central Wyoming, replete with steep canyons, tall mesas, rushing streams. The Alm Foundation, a private Los Angeles charity, commissioned Charles Rose Architects to build a camp in this rugged terrain for teen-agers from inner-city Los Angeles. There are 16 buildings in all “clustered around the mouth of a canyon” including boys and girls cabins, a dining hall, director’s house, counselors lodge and stable.
