there was a lack of historical and spatial inclusion for minorities, thus our proposal to remedy such an issue was a cultural district. This cultural center would contain a plethora of programmatic elements that sought to create a new urban condition in the city of Bryan while simultaenously addressing the lack of inclusion. Included in the proposal is a library/cafe, exhibiton space, auditorium, sculpture garden, and classrooms/meeting rooms. These programs and their corresponding functions all serve to educate the whole community on its rich past and create and even richer future, together!
