The main idea of this concept is to bring traditional architectural elements to a modern community center.
The building makes reference to pueblo architecture which was used originally by the indigenous residents of the area. This pueblo revival architecture is still being used, and is fairly popular, in albuquerque today This community center is meant to attract people of all ages.

Based on Covetool Analysis, we added more facade windows on the facade of the gallery and lobby to introduce more natural light into the space; We improved window U-value using triple pane glass; We improved roof insulation to R-40.
After changing, we successfully lower the EUI value from 40.65 to 31.56, which is close to 2030 target EUI 26.53.

The Muncie Forward mixed use development aspires to catalyze a shift to a more equitable and sustainable future. Avoiding shifting and diminishing educational resources, food deserts and limited access to fresh and healthy produce, shifts from a manufacturing based to technology-based workforce. The site for the project is a vacant (parking) lot bordered on the south by Main Street and on the west by north Mulberry Street on the West. The Muncie Civic Theater is directly to the east of the project site.
In this design, the main key word is sold framing void. Both solid and void are served as programmed space. As the solids came together, voids emerged. To reinforce the idea of façade, vertical windows and horizontal windows came up. Changing the size from the façade, “Solid frames void” idea came out. Also, through pushing windows back or forward, void and solid created.
The programs include an auditorium, several classrooms and admin offices, printer room, child care room, a market place, four story tall leasing office, workforce equipment room, health space, gym space including locker rooms and yoga rooms.
A courtyard inside of the building with a pond provides visitors a comfort vibe to go outside. Also, the roof of each floor is also a outdoor space or roof garden for the upper level. There are some open and shaded sitting area, and path on the roof garden.

Allow children to interact with external natural spaces in the building. Create a large number of gray space in the building, while adding semi-private space in the space, so that children in the changing gray space in contact with nature, touch nature, stimulate children’s interest in exploring nature courtyard organically interspersed throughout the base, courtyard space of different sizes, the use of courtyard space to achieve the purpose of a clear partition, so that the space is more flexible and changeable, to increase the diversity and richness of the space;
The use of semi-private space, such as the gray space on the first floor, enables the children to be more secure and free in outdoor activities, shading the sun and avoiding the rain, and the outdoor activities are not interfered by the external environmental factors; the second floor also increases the roof space, and the use of the frame-type roof makes the outdoor space semi-private, which not only shields the wind and rain, but also provides a certain degree of privacy, giving the children a better outdoor experience. This design mainly draws on the local open-air cold alley, a narrow open-air passage between the outer wall and the surrounding wall or between two neighboring houses. This alley is high and narrow, and in the long-time hot and humid climate of northern Fujian, ventilation is even more important than shading and insulation, and the cold alley, which is the core component to enhance natural ventilation. It has the function of organizing natural ventilation in building design. Cold alley cross-section area is small, through here when the wind speed will increase, the wind pressure will be reduced, and the cold alley connected to the rooms of the hotter air will be taken out, the cooler air will enter the supplement, so as to achieve the ventilation effect. Coupled with the existence of vertical temperature difference, it can form convection with the hot air in the buildings on both sides and play the role of ventilation and cooling.
Compared to the north, one strand of the patio in northern south China has a smaller opening. In addition to avoiding direct sunlight, a small patio can also be used to draw wind like smoke. When there is a natural wind blowing in, the wind speed will be accelerated when it enters the narrower space of the cold alley from the larger space of the hall.
At the same time, a wind blowing over the small openings of the patio will also allow the patio to create negative pressure, and the patio will at the same time draw air into the cold alley (see Bernoulli effect) further accelerating the air flow in the cold alley and taking away the heat from the room.
The indoor passage connecting each room, this alley is not subject to sunlight for a long time, the air circulation is smooth, and the residual heat of life is small, so it is called “indoor cold alley”. When there is no natural wind, due to the upper part of the patio by the sun north of the radiation temperature rises, the formation of a vertical temperature difference, the hot air rises, driven by the room below the air upward to supplement the formation of the smoke meat effect, and through the cold alley pumping, the formation of hot weather ventilation. typical local air circulation logic
Due to the humid climate of the southern Fujian region of China, we used the local traditional architectural design of ventilating and draining dampness, designing a central courtyard and narrower corridors to realize passive ventilation.
