Within the generic landscape lies a language of component specificity. Often lost amongst the overwhelming larger context of landscape, the specific can be rediscovered through architecture. The Killbear Visitor Centre controls the devices of abstraction — formal, experiential, and isolating, to decode, reinterpret and re-present its landscape. Shifts, slots, cants, twists and slopes describe an interchangeable landscape and building. Exploration directed through architectural interpretation enables us to discover the language of landscape and to engage in our own dialogue with this precious commodity.
