A salt dome collapsed on Avery Island in the New Orleans bayou, and this project envisions an exhibition space utilizing the collapsed dome that incorporates the history of the island. I chose to excavate and build my architecture into the ground so as to not take away from the experience and view that exist naturally on site. I occupied the slope with the most significant change in elevation so that my architecture mimics the salt dome underneath. Retaining walls aid in altering of the topography to emphasize this change in elevation.
