Problem Statement: rejection. disconnect. loss.

• We have become an individualist society which is slowly rejecting (intended use of) public spaces and ignores our context.
• We are becoming disconnected with society and humans themselves.
• We have experienced a loss of identity and groupings within our context.

Architectural Intentions:

• Create public spaces which induce and/or suggest human activity.
• Diverse grouping of program to promote socialization.
• Break down of territorality.
• Preservation and/or tranditional program/approach.

Project Statement:

• Urban renewal through social, economical, and architectural revitalization.
• Focus on "disconnected" city neighborhood. (i.e. Boston; local, personal)
• Recreation of the lost sense of community.

Program Outline:

• Housing for diverse groupings.
• Mixed use to promote diversity, extended day use, and economic revitalization.
• Preservation & Tradition to promote deeply "rooted" community.
