Jury Comments:
Strong, evocative, cheeky, funny and poetic. This practical FOLLY has a rare sense of joy, humor and craft... "a glorified campsite that's pretty frikken elegant. Minimalist shelter for naked people... .have to beat rattle snakes before taking clothes off."
SLAB - A self-indulgent project for a worthless piece of land located near the Devils Punchbowl and within the San Andreas rift zone.
The Slab will be used as an occasional weekend retreat, and a base for hiking excursions to the Devil's Punchbowl. The design of the slab is based on the simple activities that guide a day spent at the site.
