Interaction Hub: Dox Thrash Community Center
|
from Design 3 Architecture Studio with Prof. Andrew Hart
The mission for this design was to keep the original facades of Dox Thrash and its two neighboring rowhouses while making a completely new structure behind it. This Interaction Hub is a community space that promotes connectivity and interaction between different generations in an ample, transparent space.

How has your heritage influenced your designs?
Much of the Chinese culture revolves around a "core" or a "main thing." I find myself grasping that idea and have begun designing all my projects around a central focus. Also, in the Asian culture, integration of nature and minimalism is a big thing because it allows users to focus on the essence of the space rather than being surrounded by distractions. I find myself being drawn to that, and have been trying to keep both of these in mind and as main players in all my projects. |
