Erosion & Formation
The Gradual Action Of Erosion Becomes A Framework For Discovery Inside A Temporary Retail Space.
01 / Context
Discovery Begins With The Site.
Generator Hall at Savannah’s Plant Riverside District brings together industrial history, crystals, fossils, and the movement of visitors. For a Cotopaxi pop-up, I began with erosion: the gradual removal of a surface reveals what lies underneath. That act of discovery connects the outdoor brand to the existing hall.
02 / Threshold
Two Forms. One Unfolding Journey.
Two intertwining structures invite a closer look. The outer surface is metallic and enclosing; the wooden frame is exposed inward. Their relationship recalls canyon walls and the effects of time. Moving between the ribs gradually reveals the interior and the displays beyond.
03 / Encounter
An Invitation To Explore.
The display surfaces hold products and provide places to sit and gather. Images from Cotopaxi users invite the next adventure. On the Savannah Experience side, local photographers introduce the city through their own observations, extending the journey beyond the store.
04 / Assembly
A Temporary Place, Designed To Move.
Copper sheets cover a wooden frame. The interior pieces continue that construction language and are conceived for disassembly and transport. The project brings the character of a specific place into a structure that can be taken apart and reassembled elsewhere. Physical models were collected and displayed by SCAD.
05 / Recognition
Erosion & Formation, Recognised.
Completed in 2024, Erosion & Formation received Silver in the 2025 NY Architectural & Interior Design Awards, Student Design / Interior Design.
