The site was very small for the activites including parking. The solution provided a courtyard with a space frame cover. The space frame had bars welded every few inches to keep anyone from getting in and breaking the glass. A green house, shaded by canvas awnings provided passive solar heating in the winter and was shaded in the summer by the awnings.
