Summary:

"Eagle Village: A Deep Mapping of Fallow Architecture assembles a decades-long engagement with a vast network of boarded-up military buildings at the edge of Brigham City, Utah. Using the same architectural footprint, this infrastructure shifted from a WWII Army Hospital to the Intermountain Indian School--the largest of the off-reservation federal Indian boarding schools in the Unites States. After an effort to repurpose the site into a New Urbanist townhome community to be called 'Eagle Village,' the masterplan was abandoned, the buildings demolished, and the land cleared. Initiated in 1996, Eagle Village reveals the cultural and political forces that re/shaped this site over time and generates a spatial archive of place following over 25 years of observation, outreach, research, and contemplation. At its core, this project is an engagement with the material traces of some of the key narratives of American society; more than clarifying what unfolded on this parcel of land, Eagle Village presents its contradictions and paradoxes." --Book release flyer.
