Recently, I came across the striking 1970s brutalist architecture of Snowbird Resort, just outside Salt Lake City. Designed by architect Jack Smith, the buildings seamlessly echo the surrounding mountains and valleys, their bold angles and raw concrete forms blending with the rugged landscape—an incredible fusion of architecture and nature.
The moment I saw it, I envisioned an entire series exploring this dynamic interplay. Here’s a quick sketch of a possible composition—just the beginning of what could unfold.
