The site’s remarkable surrounding trees provided a central idea for the composition of the building, which Steven Holl calls a “pavilion on the park.” Raised kite-like into the trees, the building’s light profile is a concave response to the large diameters of the campus’ trees—many over one-hundred years old and the oldest things on F&M’s historic 19th century campus.
