"All these mountains have a high level of metal oxide so they have a red patina to them," says Tom. "What we wanted to do was to let the building take on that natural patina-to get that deep red color... In addition, we wanted a building that had durable materials. We're not going to redo this thing again for a very long time." The contact station was part of a larger project that included a new visitor center in the same area. The original contact station was built piecemeal by staff and Bureau of Land Management personnel.The rough environment had begun to take its toll and it was falling apart in many places. Line and Space designed the building to work efficiently, and reused the satellite booths to reduce costs. Selecting metal as a major building component was a signature element of that. All the materials could be acquired locally, reducing transportation costs and ensuring more control over the process.

机译：汤姆说：“所有这些山脉都含有高水平的金属氧化物，因此它们具有红色的铜绿。” “我们要做的是让建筑物呈现自然的铜绿-以获得深红色。此外，我们希望建筑物具有耐用的材料。很长时间。”联络站是一个较大项目的一部分，该项目在同一地区包括一个新的游客中心。最初的联络站是由工作人员和国土管理局的人员零散建造的，恶劣的环境开始造成人员伤亡，并且在许多地方都瓦解了。 Line and Space设计了该建筑物以使其高效工作，并重新利用了卫星棚以降低成本。选择金属作为主要建筑成分是其标志性元素。所有材料都可以在本地获取，从而降低了运输成本并确保了对过程的更多控制。
