Marfa, Texas is an unlikely art oasis in a Desert Town. This tiny town perched on the high plains of the Chihuahua desert. It is famous for the Chinati which is an internationally known contemporary art museum founded by minimalist artist Donald Judd. Artist Donald Judd was drawn to Marfa’s empty, light-soaked plains in the 1970s. This project is inspired by its site-specific concrete blocks in the middle of the desert of Marfa, creating a linear architecture with aperture spaces that overlook the landscape.
