It has around 40,000 habitants and it is two hours away from Paris by train. Since the town is in charge of managing the municipal affairs, it displays many centers in order to receive these events. 10.

Wide double height hall provides access to second floor, and the circular flow around a central courtyard connect the spaces allocated for entertain-ment, which are concentrated on the peri-meter. 8 doors located on five sides of the building provide great accesibility. A symmetrical and balanced layout create an easy configuration for the users and most activities take place on the first floor of this 2 level bldg.

The areas serving as a resource center are located near the entrance, which makes it easily accesible but not very integrated with the core of the space which is reserved for the patio. They are designed for an informal and more individual approach as they do not relate much with the rest of the spaces. The more spacious rooms are allocated to entertainment and multipurpose rooms, showing a preference for social and casual gatherings. A simple and serene environment is achieved by the use of neutral and light colors, as well as the use of big windows allowing natural light to filter in. The auditorium area utilizes dark colors which is appropiate for its use and offers good amount of artificial lighting, increasing The town of Nevers safety as visitors circulate through the space.

The building has two levels, and a glass tunnel which communi cates with the historic mansion. The second level is reserved for the event space, prefunction, bathrooms and kitchen.

The concept of integrating the food stalls with areas for eating around open plan kitchens, increases the interest of the clients, whose sensorial stimulation rises due to the closer contact with the food, the people and the surroundings. Informal seating and casual bar areas with food displays bring attention to the food. The vendors have also different stalls to offer their products in one big roof, which provides security for customer and operator.

The combination of shopping and eating inside a department store aimed to achieve a more personal environment so it would be different to that of a regular shopping mall. The retail experience was directed towards the center of the space whereas the zones to settle down were directed to the perimeter and closer to the views of the building, creating attention to it.

There is a shift in atmosphere due to lighting and acoustic treatments consisting of back illuminated acrylic panels controlling the mood and style of service during different times of the day.10 Light during the day and drama at night. The space is intimate and personalized in spite of its large scale due to the soft quality of illumination coming from the ceiling, this creates a calm energy contrasting the high traffic of customers.

Due to its location at the top floor of the building, and the fact that the Duomo (the city’s centerpiece) is located across it, the architects wanted to create an experien-ce that would compare to that of the cathedral, but instead of utilizing similar Gothic and Renaissance style, they embraced a different aesthetic representing a more commercial and modern style 8 attracting shoppers and maintaining the view of one of the most beautiful Cathedrals of the world. The relation is through the experience rather than the look.

Integration of nature, site, sustainable practices, and individual needs will be a priority.

The case studies were selected because of their close approach to communities. Regardless of their intent, whether cultural centers or markets, they all had the objective of integrating people and creating places with increased interaction among them and their environment. They were strategically selected according to different geographical areas, in order to examine various cultural approaches to alike projects. Interestingly enough their approach was very similar. They all had a very high incorporation of nature into their design and paid attention to their customers needs, integrating the building itself with their location. All these elements contributed to successful projects because their priorities coincided with that of their users, their location and their clients.

During the course of our lives we encounter intersections bringing us together or keeping us apart. It is all part of the quest of each individual of achieving a particular mission. The time of resolution is where we gather the experiences of our upbringings and balance them with the ventures of the roads ahead. Instead of focusing on the different paths , the design concept will thrive for the shared routes leading to a merging moment where the background of each individual will inspire and guide the unity of the whole. This takes more relevance on an environment created to connect with people around the world because the more familiar the feel of the space, the more open and easier the communication will be. The spaces will provide visual interaction and open areas facilitating communication and group work. The colors will enhance the energy of the space by using vibrant hues and combining them with neutral colors to provide cohesiveness. Patterns and textures will bring unity and provide comforting areas.

The overall color direction seeks to provide an interplay of cool and warm color hues according to the different environments throughout the space. The more vibrant colors will be distributed in smaller amounts so the energy and cheerfulness irradiated can be felt by the users without overwhelming. Neutral color schemes will be used in the more private areas and will help keeping it all tied together. Textures and patterns will also play an important role in adding interest and provide cohesiveness.

The design of the market will explore the natural settings where food is grown and translate them into an environment where grocery shopping can become more than a task of purchasing products. Creating a simple yet comfortable setting where the arrangement of the aisles can lead to a closer relation between the products and the users, and also among the users, will provide a meaningful activity where opportunities for socializing and learning about different products will intermix with the food source resembling the spontaneous connections we see in nature. In order to facilitate these relationships, different seating zones will be organized within the aisles. The essence of all ingredients in life are found in nature, and when we feel close to it, we feel at ease. Nature will act as the common universal backdrop.

In order to bring attention to the food and not overwhelm, the palette will utilize soothing and natural colors. Smooth surfaces will be used in conjunction to structural patterns to provide contrast and interest. The neutrality and conservative nature of white is widely accepted,11 and in most countries is associated with purity and peace. 12 White will serve as a good backdrop letting the vibrant colors of fruits and vegetables stand out. Green is the most restful color for the human eye. It is the universal color of nature, and also represents fertility, rebirth and freedom. Brown is associated with nature, trees,and wood. It represents conservancy and humility. It is useful in balancing stronger colors and due to the fact of being one of the most predominant hues in nature, it gives a sense of familiarity, which will be very appropriate for the project. 12

Appendix Introduction: Between 2000 and 2011, the number of foreign born residents in Georgia grew more than 60 percent, more than double compared to the national Average. (Map the impact of Immigration across the Nation, 2012). As of 2012 the percentage range was between 14 and 20 % (A Description of the Immigrant Population, 2013). According to the 2010 census, the metro area was home to three quarters of a million foreign-born residents comprising 13% of the population, and as of 2012 the percentage range was between 14 and 20 % (Foreign Born Population continues to grow in Metro Atlanta, 2010). “The explosion of growth is owed both to entrepreneurial immigrants determined to succeed in America and to Atlanta’s own determination to capture the world’s imagination, capital and talent”. (Partnership for a new American Economy, 2010). With the increase of international population in United States and particularly in Atlanta, it is important to facilitate environments where foreigners can improve their language skills, learn another language and locals can also benefit from the interaction while learning from different languages and cultural backgrounds. Adult group classes for ten weeks can cost $280 and above and private lessons $45 approximately depending on schedule and experience (Atlanta Language, n.d). There are online courses and programs which can be less expensive and websites where you can chat with people from all over the world and practice your desired language, but currently there are no physical spaces that combine the benefits of face to face conversations, availability of language resources and low cost.

Facility Description: The proposed facility intends to create a venue for language exchange and social interaction where adults can learn, practice, and at the same time teach each other new languages. The purpose of this cooperation is to facilitate the learning experience and decrease the anxiety caused by formal and disconnected classroom environments. In this proposed casual setting people will learn at their own pace and will also experiment the satisfaction of helping others while establishing bonds with people from other cultures. This mixed used facility will offer dining environments where the group meetings will be hosted, a self access center for supportive software materials and more private learning needs, a market with products from different areas of the world, and cinemas for foreign and independent film showing. The client is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the study of language and culture and its application to educational and social concerns, in conjunction with Atlanta Language exchange, which is an online community helping thousands of people find language exchange partners. Their goal is to explore a more autonomous approach to language learning applied to social settings. Users: Adults 18 and older seeking to learn or practice a new language due to traveling, work, student or personal related concerns, or simply they want to make friends with people from different cultures. Foreign people that recently moved to the city and lack the necessary connections and/or resources to find a job or pay for English courses.


Building Feasibility and code compliant Analysis. Strategic opportunities and challenges: The North-West/South East orientation of the building still provides good amount of daylight and the presence of glass windows all around contribute to proper daylight. Since the current windows are tinted, it can decrease the amount of sunlight coming in, besides the dark tint does not create an inviting environment. A good alternative can be the use of triple pane windows with low e- coating which can also contribute to sound absorption, which is critical in this location due to the close proximity to the street and the highway running behind it. The use of skylights with this type of window can improve the use of natural light while maintaining acoustic separation from the outside. An optimization of the tree vegetation on the parking lot area can not only provide shade, but can also contribute with sound attenuation and help decrease the visual pollution. The open web steel joists make it possibly to run plumbing, electrical lines, and small HVAC ducts (MacLaughlin and Estrada, 2009). The existing ACT can be removed if more vertical space is needed, leaving the ceiling exposed and creating higher spaces. The current layout of the first floor does not work for an environment conductive to communication, and the long corridors with many segregated rooms can be very confusing for the customers, plus the walls block much of the light. A reconfiguration of spaces is needed, and the presence of columns can provide flexibility when reconfiguring the floor plan. The efficiency of the building can be improved with the use of energy efficient appliances. The insulation of ducts can improve the efficiency of the heating and cooling system; lighting controls and efficient lamps can reduce energy costs. (Improving Building Energy efficiency, n.d). Responsible design for stakeholders: Community-Mothers: The idea of creating a venue with the purpose of integrating people with different backgrounds so they can learn and practice a different language and at the same time expand their social circle will engage the community and provide human interaction on a world where communication face to face is losing its meaning. The introduction to new businesses and spaces freely accessible will bring interest to the area, and will boost the localized economy, improving the quality of life of its residents. An engaging environment provided through a simple yet dynamic design will provide a comfortable space for the open use of the public. The proximity to bus stops and major highways makes the building easy to locate and access. Tradition-Elders: The area of the building is commercial and residential, so the current dynamic of the neighborhood is maintained. The increased use of natural landscape on the exterior will create an improved and healthier environment beneficial to the physical and mental health of the people, and also beneficial to the environment reducing the heat island effect. The utilization of local resources, native plants, energy efficient equipment and design solutions conscious of the impact at short and long term will minimize the negative impact of manmade decisions to the earth. The reduced potable water use will protect the natural water cycle. (LEED 2009 for New Construction and Major Renovations, 2009). Creative-Youth: It is important to develop a floor plan easy to follow, engaging, and attractive to the users where there is space for collaboration, but at the same time space for individual leisure. Comfort and stimulation of all the senses in order to create new experiences on each visit is a way to improve the quality of life of the users. The use of materials, colors, sounds and smells can be subtle yet effective to captivate customers and foster a healthier physical and psychological environment. Action- Fathers: The reuse of the existing building is already a saving in costs, the proximity to mass transportation reduces the economic costs for the users and the workers, attracting and retaining employees. There is room for growth inside the building and since there is a smaller building on the same parking lot, there could be a possibility of a future expansion if need to, eliminating the costs of having to move to a different area. The interest created will benefit the businesses integrated in the project, bringing revenue through the sales of goods and services. The energy saving measurements will reduce costs long term. Resource Efficiency Considerations: The structural elements will be maintained and the use of low consumption fixtures, occupancy sensors, lighting controls, and efficient equipment will reduce the economic and environmental impact associated with the project. The use of regional materials and native plants will support regional economy.


Building Feasibility and code compliant Analysis. Summary of Occupancy /code opportunities and challenges: Building envelope is in good condition, but it can be improved with the use of energy efficient equipment, lighting controls, low consumption fixtures, and installation of clear triple pane windows with low e coating not only for cost savings, sound absorption and efficiency but also to create a friendlier environment where the interior can still be seen from the outside and provide interest. Operable windows can improve ventilation on spring and fall seasons. The incorporation of more landscaping and trees on the outside will help to create shade, improve the aesthetics of the building, moderate noise and connect with the exterior. The use of skylights can create a feeling of exterior while maintaining acoustic control. Also the existing building overhangs will aid in the amount of heat entering the building, and the use of interior horizontal shades on south facing windows and vertical oriented shades on East-West facing windows will supplement their performance and provide privacy when needed.( Selecting Windows for Energy Efficiency, n.d). The use of sound absorbing materials can contribute to sound attenuation, separation of areas where privacy is required and increased level of comfort for the users. A reconfiguration of the interior is needed in order to improve circulation areas, way finding and comfort. Even though the actual configuration may be adequate for codes it was designed for a different occupancy and the project will have a mixed use where the requirements will change and need to be revised having perhaps to add more exits and restroom facilities, also the actual accessible bathrooms located at the multiple toilet facilities don’t meet the proper requirements as the opening of the door invades the 60� of clear space needed for accessibility, also the water fountain does not meet the width required to be accessible. The exterior ramps and stairs can be maintained as they are properly designed for accessibility. The actual signage and sprinkler system properly meet the code, and the proposed project will include signage more universally designed as it will serve different customer needs. Since both floors do not communicate from the interior, an addition of stairs and elevator may be provided according to the needs of the new design and according to the new occupancy type and its requirements. What is evident through this analysis is the need to reassess the code requirements through the building’s new use, having a good expectation of what the future project can and cannot achieve, but this should only be the starting point because if a building is meeting the codes it does not mean it is providing the best service it can provide to the users, the creators, and the environment and the community as a whole.

Programming Goals for Community/Mothers: -Foster Interaction: The use of multiple seating areas around the circulation paths will integrate and engage users. - Increase visual connectivity: Will allow relation between different areas. The use of glass, low partitions and open spaces will facilitate this integration. -Improve emotional Health: The use of natural light, warm and contrasting colors will evoke a tranquil, yet inspiring ambience beneficial for learning environments and social interaction. -Integrate Community: Learning from other cultures can bring people together and expand their cultural knowledge. -Create an Engaging Environment: Providing choices for different activities and utilizing colors, texture, sound, and scent carefully and knowledgeably will aid in achieving various perceptions of the same place. Goals for Tradition/Elders: -Maximize resources: Creating open areas to decrease material utilization. The use of daylight, and the utilization of sensor controls and energy efficient equipment, can maximize energy performance. (LEED, 2009). The use of the existing overhangs outside the building will aid in controlling the amount of heat penetrating the building. -Minimize the Environmental Impact: The use of low consumption fixtures can protect the natural water cycle and the building operating costs. The use of regional materials will support the economy and decrease the environmental impact caused by transportation. (LEED, 2009). The increase on vegetation intends to minimize the heat island effect, and the visual pollution, augmenting the aesthetic appeal of the neighborhood. - Maintain the dynamic of the Area: Being conscious of the international component of the specific demographic will aid in fulfilling the needs of the community by providing choices on the market area and the selection of movies at the cinemas. The commercial and educational components of the project will support the surrounding businesses of the vicinity.


Programming

Goals for Creative/youth: -Maximize Flexibility: The use of materials providing good quality absorption characteristics will permit flexible spaces by eliminating the need of enclosing every single area. -Generate innovative spaces: Utilizing nontraditional materials, creating active spaces facilitating circulation and interaction while maintaining simplicity will increase the universal appeal of the facility. -Increase natural elements: The utilization of natural materials and the incorporation of vegetation on the exterior and the interior will increase the well being of the users while posing an interesting challenge of doing it in an innovative way. Goals for Action/fathers: -Maximize functionality: The spaces will have multiple uses, increasing choices of service and utilizing all areas. -Facilitate accessible spaces: Ample circulation paths, way finding techniques and a simple layout will provide a space designed for universal use. -Generate Interest from the community: Due to the convenient location easily accessed by public transportation, and close proximity to midtown and suburban areas, the public can have easy access to the building and increase revenue used for its improvement and own maintenance.


Building and Site Analysis Sustainable Design Advantages and challenges: -Proximity to mass transportation reduces the economic impact for the users. -In order to protect the natural water cycle and the building operating costs, the use of low consumption fixtures can be integrated into the design. -To reduce the heat island effect of the concrete surroundings, the introduction of a cool roof or glass roof if possible will decrease the amount of heat radiated back. -The use of daylight controls and occupancy sensors will maximize energy performance. -The use of regional materials will support the economy and decrease the environmental impact caused by transportation. (LEED, 2009). Design Opportunities and Challenges: The site offers great vehicular access and parking spaces, close proximity to major highways, and bus routes. There is a ramp on the North East entrance of the second level and a total of two entrances for the second floor. The first level has its own vehicular access and a total of five accessible doors, which provides ample access for the users. A challenge is the lack of walkable spaces on the area, and visual pollution which means an opportunity to create an interior environment appealing enough to maintain interest on being inside the building; besides the proximity to busy highways would create additional disadvantages relating to acoustics if the division between interior and exterior disappears with the creation of exterior environments. In this case the integration of spaces could mean communicating both floors from the interior, and the use of glass roof if possible to create an outside feeling. Since the building has non load bearing walls, it gives more flexibility to manipulate interior spaces, since current layout has many small segregated rooms which are not compatible with the design intent of social interaction. The exterior walls already have glass facades with exterior overhangs, and the building is in good condition meaning more savings for investors and fewer resources used. Stakeholders: Elders: The building is already located within a residential-commercial area, maintaining the dynamic of the current neighborhood, and with the proposed project the intention is to attract people from different areas of the city, increasing the prosperity of the surrounding businesses, and creating a more appealing sector, while expanding the culture of a diverse community as it integrates with a broader group. The longest axis of the building is oriented towards the North-West/ South East which even though it is not an ideal orientation, it still provides appropriate daylight which is maximized by having big windows in all sides of the building. The use of window tint minimizes the amount of heat coming from the sun and the presence of overhangs on both floors provides shade and affects the amount of direct sunlight received. A disadvantage of the building orientation is the fact that its shorter axis is perpendicular to the prevailing winds coming North-West, decreasing passive ventilation. The location of the building right in the middle of two other commercial buildings and the view towards a busy highway does not create an appealing environment, thus contributing to visual pollution and making it difficult to integrate the exterior with the interior, which needs to be addressed by creating an engaging interior environment with the use of colors, materials and natural elements that counteract the exterior conditions. Mothers-welfare The proximity to major highways and Bus stops are beneficial to the users of the building, the workers, and also the business owners because it suggests a reduction in cost associated with transportation benefiting its occupants and reducing economic stress. (LEED, 2009). Facilitating a space where people from different backgrounds can enrich their lives through helping others and at the same time benefiting themselves, creates a positive impact on the community and strengthen social bonds, which is especially important on minority groups who may already feel alienated, and also integrates native residents and expand their social group. A disadvantage of the site is the lack of current walk able areas which creates a challenge for people living in very close proximity and don’t want to rely on vehicle transportation for short distances. There is a project to create sidewalks along Buford Highway which has already started and it will be a long term benefit for the area. The attraction of people to this area can increase the amount of projects of this character, thus improving the quality of life of its residents, augmenting the value of the properties and bringing profit to the county and regional areas. Fathers The facility offers two levels of space to develop the project and still provides room for growth, which will reduce costs long term. The amount of space will also provide flexibility on the design benefiting the creative and construction team. Investors can be assured of a project with long term goals and the workers and users can rely on the continuity of the project and contribute to its success building up a familiar environment. YouthDue to the lack of attractive surrounding areas, the location of the building introduces a challenge on attracting users and making a space comfortable, yet practical enough to develop its purpose. The use of natural vegetation and natural elements will try to compensate for the amount of concrete of the surroundings. One of the biggest advantages yet a big challenge for the building is its location. Since it is situated in close proximity to major highways, and it has a bus stop right in front of the entrance, it makes it highly accessible to the most common transportation methods in Atlanta but it also makes it less walkable and less visually attractive, which means a design opportunity to provide an environment able to engage users and increase the well being of its occupants. The information gathered will direct the design into the incorporation of sustainable approaches mentioned above as much as possible, and considering the close relation of the community, the site, the participants, and the environment.
