The only concrete studio within the complex, the 1,233-square foot Sculpture Studio is symbolic of sculpture's earthy materials - metal, stone and clay. The long overhang on the studio patio shelters an outdoor work area which is linked to the indoor space via three roll-up doors. When these doors are fully opened, the space flows easily from the interior to the exterior. The linking trellis structures also serve to blur the transitions between interior and exterior. The climatic conditions of East Central Florida - light, wind, air, rain - and their phenomenological effects are reinterpreted and tempered through the use of louvers, which mottle direct light. Large glass walls serve to maximize the ambient northern light; wind scoops help to ventilate, and also act as light monitors while large linear scuppers gather the torrential rain.
