Concomitant Community Center With generational gaps increasing and senior citizen depression rates on the rise, Concomitant Community Center aims to give seniors back their sense of purpose. An intergenerational facility, comprised of a preschool and senior living apartments, provides children, young adults, and seniors the chance to come together to learn, teach, and create valuable, meaningful relationships across generational gaps.

Being located in Waterworks Prairie Park in Iowa City, students learn with an environmentfocused curriculum, and senior residents get their sense of purpose back by helping to teach these young students.

During the design process, we did a case study of Enric Miralles and Carme Pinos’ Olympic Archery Range in Barcelona, Spain. Their emphasis on topography directly influenced our design strategies and understanding of our site. Because the site is a nature reserve park, natural elements found at the site heavily influenced our design decisions and were a major emphasis in our program.

Greater Iowa City and Waterworks Prairie Park Mapping The greater Iowa City community consists of three major towns, Iowa City, Coralville, and North Liberty. These different towns consist of many different age demographics, including but not limited to young adult college students, young families, and senior citizens.

This project aims to provide these communities with a space to learn and live together to create valuable, long-lasting friendships and mentorships.

Waterworks Prairie Park is home to a water treatment plant and is a prairie grass reservation site. Concomitant Community Center directly pulls programmatic design elements from the existing topography lines, hills, and park pathways. The community building, residential quarters, and parking loop are all elements designed for the new intergenerational facility.

The park is already known for being home to a large biking and bird-watching community, which further stresses the importance of an environmentally-friendly centered curriculum for the pre-school. Providing children and adults to learn about nature conservation and sustainability basics alongside each other strengthens the relationship between the generations and also between people and the natural environment.

Community Building and Senior Residential Pods Floor Plans These two buildings were designed to foster community and social interaction. The Community Building consists of two classrooms, a dining area and kitchen, the community learning space, offices, storage, and restrooms. The large open space in the center of the building encourages

community with the seniors, preschool students, and teachers -- forming long-lasting, enriching relationships. The Senior Residential Pods consist of four 900 sqft apartments that can house one or two residents in each apartment. The entrance/ exit corridor has community spaces to

Series of Joints Creating a space that moves in both plan and section like our bodies do as we dance is an important aspect for the creation of our ritual space, Series of Joints. Contact improvisational dance is dependent on using your partners’ touch and movements to dictate your own, and with this project, the goal was to have the architecture be moveable and flexible to act like a dancing partner. The partition design consists of sturdy frames with flexible felt sheets that cascade off the partitions, which can be crawled under, laid on, or wrapped in depending on the dancer’s desired movements. The corners conditions of the partitions are also made to add planar movement in the space to balance the sectional movement from the collapsable felt panels. The combination of static and dynamic architectural elements creates an everchanging space where dancers can impact each others’ dances by manipulating the space as they dance.
