Graduating M. Arch candidate Canyon Prusso participated as a visiting student in the University of Utah’s DesignBuildBLUFF Fall 2017 design course, and his conceptual and schematic proposals were selected by a jury to become the Spring 2018 build project for the program. Prusso’s community kitchen/pavilion space, called “Fire Mesa,” was designed to symbolize and cultivate a spirit of unity in the rural desert town of Bluff, UT. Construction of the pavilion (seen above) was completed on April 26, 2018.
