Exhibit D: Conner Prairie PUD - Architectural Character Imagery
Overall Character Description
“Contemporary Prairie Style Architecture” should be considerate and in the spirit of
the following five elements of defining character:
•Connection of indoor and outdoor experience and spaces
•Use of strong horizontal elements
•Celebration of craftsmanship
•Use of natural materials
•Incorporation of built elements to form masses
Connection of indoor and outdoor experience and space
Architecture should stress importance of physical and visual connection to nature.
This may be achieved through the incorporation of indoor spaces that seamlessly
transition to outdoor through the use of operable glazing. This may also be achieved
through the connection of separated buildings by connected roof lines and/or by
providing covered exterior circulation through the use of roof overhangs or porches.
Use of strong horizontal elements
Architecture should incorporate the use of strong horizontal elements to recognize
the low-profile and linear character of traditional Prairie Style design. The intent
should be to stress integration with the landscape and celebrate the surrounding
natural context. Elements that may be used to achieve this include roof outriggers
and eave overhangs, bands of glass, and horizontal orientation of masses of material.
Celebration of craftsmanship
Architecture should incorporate the sensibilities of a high level of craft in the
construction. This may be achieved through a tectonic approach to design in which
structure is left exposed where appropriate, connections are visually apparent, and
work of trades-people is celebrated.
Use of natural materials
Architecture should incorporate the use of natural materials where appropriate to
celebrate a connection to the natural site and to achieve an overall natural-feeling
material palette. Materials selected should be durable and in consideration of
developing a patina over time.
Incorporation of built elements to form masses
Architecture should incorporate the use of material compositions that form robust
volume or mass. The intent is for elements of the architecture to feel grounded to the
place and rooted in the site. This may be achieved through traditional Prairie Style
elements such as chimneys or hearths and treatment of masonry as volume rather
than plane. Other solid or glazing materials may be used to achieve this intent as well.
