Perspective Render 2

My proposal is stealthily pocketed within the infrastructure of the 18 foot tall retaining wall at lock 17 visually expanding the canal.

Section D

The building is designed as a recreational space for adventurers, boaters, and rock climbers situated within the expanded poche of the 300 foot stone wall of the lock

Section C

The building's porous roof weirs modulate the flow of water and the apertures in the roof striate the sun's rays to produce two distinct atmospheres for climbing: direct daylight and total darkness. At the lowermost level, fed by the excess outflow of water from the lock, is a continuous cistern for kayakers and boaters that is punctuated by light from above.
