both the FAARM Gallery and the Kroiz Gallery at the Penn Architectural Archives.
It is a weather station in the middle of tornado alley. The building anticipates

a gash in the earth cut by a previous tornado. Above the weather station, there is a jogging path, speaking
to the notion of a threatening apocalypse lingering beneath everyday routine.
