PROJECT STATEMENT In Architectural Design IV I was tasked with designing community oriented buildings starting from a smaller scale, just a gymnasium to a large scale communtiy center. My main goal for these assignments were for my designs to not break up the social fabric of a neighborhood. I wanted my buildings to add to the neighborhood, and for them to integrate well with community events going on. I focused greatly on education, where I designed classrooms, theatres, and a lecture hall for all types of people. I also worked to create beneficial public parks and sports fields for a communtiy that needed them.

STRATEGY With the diverse population of Crown Heights in mind, I wanted to create a project that served the community as a whole. Because of the site’s close proximity to schools and an existing athletic center, I chose to focus on ecucation. This is integrated into the program which includes numerous classrooms, theaters, a teen and senior center, and a daycare. To further fuse the building with the community, I designed a space for the NYC J'ouvert parade to pour into and let the local West Indian people feel noticed and appreciated.
