Reflection on Location

I think that using cues in the natural environment as ways to create a space can be really genuine gestures and make someone feel safe and protected. We notice that our piece is kind of secretive but i enjoy that because that makes it a different and more unique experience for someone using it. We would like everyone to use it, but I don't think that people would if it was simply out in the open. From a distance the habitat is actually hard to scout out and this was proven when asking people if they had seen the structures on the grass and them saying no. I think this is also an example of sustainability as we are using the outdoors at no expense to them in order to create a space as oppose to manufacturing and taking energy from another. This may be something that can get overlooked but may be considered in other definition of sustainability. I think had we not had those trees at Smith the project would not have been as successful.
