This scholarship entry explores differences between urban and regional sensibilities. Laid out in rows like a crop, the Mechanics Institute skews to orientate toward the sun. The scheme celebrates the civic in a regional centre. The form mimics the flickering of a crop, in the peripheral vision of a drive-by view.
