Cultivate “A garden requires patient labor, and attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intentions. They thrive because someone expended effort on them.”
The city of South Bend has shown its long-term vision for improvement in its persistence of implementing different projects for the city’s growth, expansion, and development. This project’s intention is to “cultivate” the seeds of health, knowledge, community, and nature that have already been planted in the areas of downtown South Bend. Using the analogy of cultivating, the project will aim at getting to the root of what nature and intentional design solutions can contribute to the success of a place. It will promote an empathetic awareness of enviromentally sensitive place through the architectural and urban experience of the project. In order to achieve the project’s goal, a number of design strategies to the specific environment are going to be used. Principles Revival
Diversity This will ensure variety and uniqueness in every decision made about the design. All the functions in the facility will have a unique role in bringing the community together despite any difference
Harmony
Connection encourages relationships and encourage growth through cultivation of differences. Opportunities provided function in harmony with each other so to fullfill a common goal
2
The site has potential to become a hub and a place of influence to both the people and to the city. My design will therfore help stimulate the place’s potential with the goal to revive it in every way.
This will allow the facility to maximize it’s potential. It will encourage relationship and intermutual help and assistance to develope a sence of community in people using the building
Historically, the city’s Leeper Park, north of the project’s site, was one of the city’s created tools towards environmental and urban enrichments but is currently not being used to its maximum potential. Most of downtown South Bend buildings are technically driven; they are plain, inwardly focused and do not contribute to the walkability of the city’s streets. Moreover, the school and the hospital that surrounds the project’s site are limited to their functions and are not fully contributing to the city’s needs of social interaction and human flourishing, especially in the public realm. The “Cultivate” project will be built off of the initial idea of hospitals and schools (education and health) as well as the community in hope to revive the connections that lack between the people of South Bend and their environment. It will aim at promoting human flourishing and connections through its architecture design and urban spaces. The project will bring back nature’s publicness in people’s environment to contribute to their well-being and development. It will cultivate human flourishing, social interaction, and human connection that the community needs through its multiple functions. And as a result, it will show the potential that the downtown north end has to revive the city’s vision for growth. Furthermore, by developing a suitable design, the project will hold qualitative difference between a place and space. Spaces that are constituted of memories and affections, through repeated encounters and complex association; have greater capacity to become meaningful places.
Site and Architectural Patterns
Inviting entrances
Manifestation of Anology Since my project revolves around cultivating, I based my design organisation, composition and design inspirartion on the concept of layering, a community based facility with defined places rather than just spacces in order to fullfill the goal of the cultivating aim of the project. The design has many different defined corners and surfaces that will allow peopple to realise and experience something different in every corner of the facility.

Bujumbura, Burundi Dealing with the Great Controvercy This Project is designed to the population of Bujumbura in Burundi that have been dealing with civil war for many years now. The Seventh-day Adventist church being my client, I decided to use this design in dealing with what Ellen G. White calls the Great Controvercy in her book published in 1858. she refers to it as to the cosmic battle between Jesus Christ and Satan on earth. I decided to adress this issue by “Training and educating the Bujumbura population about their past in relation to the present in order to give them hope for the future.”

Tell Hesban Though History: 25years of exclavation. 31°52’07” N, 35°53’17” E Height: 883 m above sea level
Avg. High Temp.: 84 °F Avg. Low Temp.: 71 °F
Tell Hesban, current “Al Mushalah” has a history of more than 7000years in which it housed more than eight different group of people and civilizations. It is also known to have gone through several changes especially architecture. Tall Hesban have been an Andrews University archeological site for now 25years. The goal of archeologists at Tell Hesban is mainly to discover and study the daily lives and survival strategies of the individuals and communities that have outlasted multiple millennials of imperial dominations at Tall Hesban. During these 7millenials, there were 4 civilisations that were mentioned by the archeologists to have dominated on the tell. This summer, with a group of local architects, I studied the different architecture remain of these four civilisations. And with some schetching I tried to reconstruct them. I. The Governor’s Palace (661AD- 14th Century)
II. The Iron Age reservoir (1000BC-900BC)
During the Abbasad and the Mamluk period, churches from the earlier ages were turned into houses or like in this case palaces. Churches were not turned into Mosques because Mosques were to be constructed a fresh. Below are some of the reconstructed floor plan of a part of the govenor’s palace:

The reservoir of the Iron age is the most important Iron age discovered feature currently viewable at the site. It is rectangular in shape, measures about 17.5 by 17.5m and dates between the 10th-9th C. BC

A question persist regarding it’s enormous size including a spring that might have existed on the site in Antiquity.
III. The Citadel with 4 corner(332BC- 14th Century)
IV. The Byzantine Basilica (324AD- 661AD)
Tall Hesban history has been greatly influenced by its summit that believed to have had a fortress surounding it with 4 towers on each corner.
Tall Hesban history has been greatly influenced by its summit that believed to have had a fortress surounding The Archeologist believe that this was one of the feature that have been used and re-used throughout most of the ages known to have populated the tell. it with 4 towers on each corner. Throughout the history of Tall Hesban the citadel with the 4 corners have always been the bench mark and the start of every civilization for it is believed that the citadel would eventually be the most celebrated place of the whole site despite the other features that people would build around it or in it.
It is in the Byzantine period that the Historians and the archeologists believe that the spread of Christianity happened. The Basilica on Tell Hesban is one of the discovered features that proves this as well as tell the story of people during the first pread of christianity and churches that existed.
IV. The Roman Stairs (63BC- 324BC) The Roman stairs were beilieved to be the most prominent feature known of he site during this the hellenisticand the man period. These stairs are believed have been a grand stairs that would be directed to the Temple that was where the Byzantine Church above was constructed after words. Puda sit, il inum, cum am, sitium fuga.
