The architecture makes use of vernacular forms and natural materials, most native to the region, in a way that feels both timeless and thoroughly new. Eighteen structures make up the complex and include an outdoor amphitheater, an open-air pavilion, and a museum and event center, as well as support facilities and extensive landscape and site interpretation. Sustainable engineering strategies were used to address the lack of infrastructure on the site, making use of geothermal systems in the museum / event center and addressing storm water management to reduce runoff.
