CAMBRIDGE COMMUNITY CENTER
RECOGNITION: DESIGN EXCELLENCE AWARD FOR DESIGN STUDIO PROJECT EXHIBITED AT THE CAMBRIDGE CITY HALL EXHIBITED AT THE FORM AND FLUX EXHIBITION AT DESIGN AT RIVERSIDE GALLERY INCLUDED IN THE EXHIBITION OF EXEMPLARY WORK ON BRIDGE WEBSITE
Abstract look at the paradox of public space gave way to an unprecedented insight into what forms our public realm. In depth research put the Galt neighborhood of the city Cambridge under the microscope in terms of potential for a community center. Looking through the scope of city and urbanization, the need for a community center in the Galt was evident. The basic architectonics of the project is the two forms that compliment one another, while creating an implied public space between them. Breakthrough of this project came through the moment created by one of the parti models, where two separate ordinary forms created an extraordinary space between them. By separating the two structures, the project was essentially divided into three major programs categories: public, private, and the in between. One of the forms was designed to feel heavy, monolithical and solid, and it would house the more private programs. The other form had to feel light, open, and light on its feet, which would house the more public programs.
