THE MARKET
“Terraces to watch, meet, shop, and eat”
Vendors can “plug in” to market booths, visitors can stroll along the central walk way, and garage doors open during warmer months to let in fresh air.
Open concept for studio space above. Co-working areas facilitate conversation and intermingling between different areas.
Studio apartments for students, artists, shop owners, and those passing through.
THE CANVAS
“A canvas for non-artists”
Used as an open canvas for both artists and non-artists.
Encourages more people to make more art. The Welcome Pavilion sells art supplies, sidewalk chalk, spray paint, etc.
Can be used to house public art shows, demonstrations, and projects.
THE PAVILION
“A place to listen and learn”
Pecha Kucha Pavilion opens up to North West of site. Kinetic walls allow two configurations: summer gatherings and winter gatherings. An ivy trellis on southern wall of The Pavilion acts as a visual backdrop to the Flywing Gallery.
THE ALLEY
“A crevice for food and conversation”
Inspired by the sprouts of green in pavement cracks and ivy sprawl on brick facades. A celebration of the unnoticed. Intimate and hidden; must be stumbled upon and wondered into.
