Abstract
Experimental design work chasing an architecture of the moment and seeking to engage it in conversation on an icy Canadian beach.
To illuminate a passage of time
To immerse in the present and beyond
To reveal a sensation, a moment
To create connection to the land
To borrow a way of seeing
To experience.
The Perceptual Perch is an invitation to people and elements. It is hope born of winter, of snow, sand, wind, rain, for another way of seeing, a portal for feelings, of connections. An ephemeral dissolution into landscape, cocooning the dormant lifeguard station in an expansion of feelings, connections and ways of seeing. Ice inhabited mesh shimmering in the winter sunlight, and snow strewn mirror ask to hold, to pause, your presence in time and space. Immersion, reflection, and vision offering glimmers of ways of being within a captured moment. The perceptual perch invites your curiosity.
An interdisciplinary collaborative architectural design project in answer to the Winter Stations 2026 competition.
