Role: Design and Visualization
This project is within a master plan of a park for the city of Frederick that we also developed.
As an immigrants’ serving organization and a family support center, AACF offers a wide range of essential services and activities. The vision for the new facility is to construct a building that manifests and expresses its mission where users and visitors recognize and appreciate the values and outlook of the Center as they occupy and move through the spaces of the building.
The design, based on principles of biophilia, takes shape by the existence in the site of a big and old tree that we wanted to maintain. From the tree´s point the building expands out, looking for the best views of the park and best sunlight orientation. Particularly in the form, the project takes some features of the asian culture and architecture to make it familiar and representative to the community.
