Importance Architecture is space making for communities, in a way that allows individuals the ability to access necessary resources. Enabling them to grow on a personal level and as a community at large. As a designer I want to be a part of the process that gives back to communities through buildings, and insuring that all voices are heard.

Floating Tree Damani Barnes & Kishen Patel Dec 7 2021 ARCH403/ Professor Williams This Biophilic design plunges the user into the site through multiple different insertion points. The multi building design allows for seperation of research, education, and visitation/gathering with blending through the outdoor spaces. The cantilevered main buildings conform with the hill emerge allowing the user to enter at the ground level and ultimately experience views towards the site and reservoir in the trees. Or, users can bypass the main buildings and proceed underneath the masses invoking curiousity.
