The contemporary monument is not usually inhabitable nor does it bear inspired architectural references. This speculative reinterpretation of a contemporary urban monument proposes a stone assembly that is exposed to the elements and invited to interact with nature. Vegetative growth and natural aging transform the appearance and atmosphere of the monument over time, provoking questions about the dialogue between nonbuilding elements of nature and designed architectural spaces. The interior volumes bear abstracted references to architectural vaults, arches, caverns, halls, and chambers.
