Mnjikaning Fish Weir Museum

This proposal creates a cultural center for the Mnjikaning Fish Circle of Orillia Canada and their 5000+ year old fishing weirs located nearby. Because the weirs are located below water and the group has a minimal number of artifacts, the challenge was to represent the sacred & spiritual aspects of the group. This proposal re-envisions the existing swing-bridge as the gateway for a cultural center and sacred space. By rotating the bridge 30 degrees and creating a new walkway the proposal creates a strong axis leading to a void in the center of Lake Simcoe. The void becomes both a logo and a destination - a curious space promoting snowmobile riders, bikers, boaters and people in cars to question and search for answers.
