affiliation: ADP Group & Ciulla Design | role: project designer & project manager | The new 21,000 SF museum, awarded through a competition, tells the individual stories of veterans from all branches of the armed services. The museum unfolds like a military base, with a defensible western wall that opens up to a series of courtyards defined by curvilinear landscape forms. A central tower evoking air and ship forms would be visible from I-75. Concrete tilt-wall panels articulated with recessed and material changes comprise the primary structural system. The building was to serve as a hurricane refuge for local veterans and as a base for the local Civilian Air Patrol unit.
