Climatology Station
Two climatologists are housed in a research station for periods of six months. They rotate with other pairs of scientists and work in shifts of 36 hours. The programatic requirements include spaces to record, collect, and monitor the weather as well as to sleep, exercise and socialize. Each of these programs is included in a separate volume, and between the volumes are a series of gardens that force the climatologists outside when they are transitioning between programs.
These gardens are programmed into the concrete slab as weathering patterns. By mixing the concrete in different proportions across the slab, the weather patterns they are so closely monitoring are registered physically in the decay of the slab. As the slab deteriorates, it becomes a continuous extension of the surrounding landscape and a registration of the weather on Pine Island as the scientists rotate in and out of the station./
