"Grandfather Stone" 

Stones are an integral part of the sweatlodge ritual. This outdoor changing room for the sweatlodge at the Indian Community School of Milwaukee takes its inspiration from stones found on-site. The structure is intended to appear as if it had emerged from the Earth and always been there, as opposed to an alien structure/shed that had been placed there.
