The Roger Williams University (RWU) Community Partnerships Center (CPC) provides project-based assistance to non-profit organizations, government agencies and low- and moderate-income communities in Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts. Their mission is to undertake and complete projects that will benefit the local community. A proposed mixed-use program, offers flexible space on the first level only occupying the original 1847portion of the historic building, accommodating administrative office use and gallery exhibition that can hold the collections of one of the historical societies in Warren, RI. The current kitchen and office area, occupying the 1910 addition, will be used as dining and kitchen areas, servicing the bed and breakfast that operates on the second level of the building. A bed and breakfast on the second level would provide temporary living spaces and attract travelers to the historical school, which would increase public awareness of the Liberty Street School. The exterior landscape design of the site will service a handicapped ramp, parking for all occupants of the Liberty Street School, and a leisure garden space for the residences of the historical district.

The proposal for the museum manifests from India’s heritage of achieving introspection through pilgrimage. This self imposed journey is one of the eldest ways of traveling from one destination to another, historically in search of salvation. Mumbai- a city established by foreign hands- has consistently rooted itself as a culture that is thickly woven with rich character. A variety of lineage, language, religion, massive population densities and a sharp contrast in economic status are only a few of the elements that layer, creating the complex energy that fabricates the tight knit atmosphere, present today. Gandhi’s life mission was to resonate a state of total harmony amongst humanity. A museum of tolerance is envisioned as a journey of stillness and vulnerable consciousness, posing thoughts about humanities self-inflicting recurrent confrontations and moments of harmonious coexistence.

Activating the space in-between, “Sequential Thresholds” expands the doorway beyond a single moment punctured through a wall. It highlights the experience of transition with a Center of Calisthenics, proposing an architecture that exists as a psychological and physical threshold to help athletes reach their dreams. Located between a rocky concrete jungle and a lush active river, a recreational facility takes the body through the four phases of exercise, providing a unisex changing lounge for stretching, vertical circulation to warm-up, rock climbing and rhythmic fitness space for conditioning, and a juice bar on the roof.

Conceptual Design - Literature Inspiration
Starting at the bottom and climbing towards the top; The Divine Comedy, a journey, inspired the experiential organization of this project. It provided the vision of moving through vegetation, navigating towards a climb, to reach an eden above the landscape and enjoy 360 views of the city while feeling the gush of movement from the elevated subway train rushing by.
The epic poem- The divine Comedy- provides an illustration of a journey through distinct environments. Each of the three realms; the Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso, embodies a character that identifies a spatial atmosphere and contains additional spaces of varying degrees in which activities occur.
The study model is a translation of the character defining elements illustrated in the poem. The inferno is interpreted as a deep heavy space with an entry marked by a woodsy landscape; dense space. Purgatorio is a climb, a space of continues upwards movement; circulation. And paradise is open and airy; a space varying in lightness and translucency.

Dreaming about... INSTALLATIONS
Contemplation in the Public Realm was born out of a desire to investigate the confluence and dialogue of three autonomous architectural thesis proposals; the manipulation and reconsideration of the threshold as a spatial condition, architecture’s propensity for hiding and revealing, the symbiotic relationship between the fragmentation of space and the fragmentation of memory. The installation would exist to transport the occupant from a world of chaos to a moment of solitude and reflection.
