THE CENTRAL AUDITORIUM SPACE PROVIDES AN INFORMAL PLACE TO WATCH PERFORMANCES IN THE STREET, ON THE STAGE, AND IN THE STUDIO ON THE SECOND FLOOR AND OPERATES AS A PORCH FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WHILE THE CONTINUOUS BRONZE CEILING CONNECTS IT WITH THE FACADE ALONG LASALLE STREET AND PROVIDES A CANOPY FOR THE SPACE. UNDULATING SCRIM PANELS DIFFUSE LIGHT THROUGH CLERESTORY WINDOWS AND INTERIOR PARTITIONS IN THE EXHIBITION SPACE.

THE LAFAYETTE CEMETERY NO. 2 SEXTON COTTAGE WAS A 2-WEEK CHARETTE TO REPLACE AN EXISTING, DILAPIDATED KEEPER’S qUARTERS THAT WILL HOUSE A PORCH, A MEETING SPACE, AN OFFICE, AND A RESTROOM. THE BUILDING INTE-GRATES THE EXISTING CEMETERY ENCLOSURE, A 9 FOOT HIGH WHITE BRICK WALL, AND INCORPORATES CEMENT, PLASTER, AND IRONWORK THAT MIMICS THE MATE-RIALITY OF THE CEMETERY. NO GLAZING IS EASILY VISIBLE FROM THE EXTERIOR.
SEXTON COTTAGE AT LAFAYETTE CEMETERY
THe design of the sexton cottage at lafayette ceme-tery utilizes the material qualities of ma-sonry units and metalwork to replicate some of the artistic themes of the tombstones and cemetery layout. It is at its core a simple masonry structure enclosed with thin metal-work, much like the tombs. the metalwork screen and roof takes on the unit of a typical CMU and operates as a place for visitors to leave flowers, gifts, etc, as a living wall. units become increasingly more filled in or extruded as one moves away from the entrance, corresponding to the degrading materials of the cemetery’s struc-ture as well as symboliz-ing the natural decay and rebirth after death.
