Plan of event space.



The new event space sits in the middle of the open-air museum of vernacular culture. It consists of a new earthwork amphitheatre with curved granite steps bounded by grass, a stage area covered by an open structure that can face both ways, and a shallow pool for playing in the summer and skating in the winter.
