侯爵夫人是El Paso的Westside游泳馆的空间入口结构。视觉标志和建筑门槛，轻质铝结构改变了这座新公共建筑的方法和体验。网格曲线板包括颜色鲜艳的顶篷以及其自支撑结构系统。深蓝色和暖黄色的双向Cheshire渐变以图形方式交替以强调清晰的表面。好像为一顶帐篷或帆充满了空气与风，从地面上缓缓升起.铸造到位的混凝土元素，形成两个相邻的座位。
Marquise is a spatial entry structure for El Paso’s Westside Natatorium. A visual icon and architectural threshold, the lightweight aluminum structure transforms the approach and experience of this new public building. Gridded curvilinear panels comprise the brightly-colored canopy and as well its self-supporting structural system. A two-way Cheshire gradient in deep blues and warm yellows alternate graphically to emphasize the sweeping surfaces. Seemingly inflated by the wind, as a tent or sail, the ultra-thin surface billows up from the ground, where it forms two contiguous seats: cast in place concrete elements that inherit the compound curvature of the faceted but flowing surface.
一组浓郁的黄色和深蓝色的渐变遵循双面曲面的A / B图案。两种互补的策略联合起来创造更丰富的东西。在沙漠环境中消除来回波动的温差，色彩使周围景观的色调饱和。240个独特的部分被涂成六种蓝色，从明亮的正午天空到深邃清澈的黄昏。另外280个带状鼓钉被涂成五种金黄色到橙色。
Gradients in a set of rich yellows and deep blues follow the A/B patterning of dual-faced surface. Two complementary strategies unite to create a third condition–something richer. Playing off the fluctuations between warm and cool in the desert setting, the coloration saturates the palette of the surrounding landscape. 240 unique parts are painted in six shades of blues, from a bright midday sky to a deep, clear dusk. Another 280 shingles are painted in five shades of golden yellow to earthen orange.
