THE PROJECT: ARCHITECTURE FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE
THE SOCIAL INJUSTICE is the need for affordable healthcare. The people of South Mountain are independent people, yet not all have the opportunity be self-reliant when it comes to healthcare. With 1 in 9 adults report practicing alternative medicine, it is a wonder why more facilities do not exist to support impoverished communities to provide cheaper healthcare.
THE CAMPUS sustains itself within the South Mountain neighborhood by incorporating a melting-pot of programs to bring in people with different purposes and potential investment streams.
THE COMMUNITY of South Mountain Village takes pride in its AGRICULTURAL ROOTS. Nursuries and Feed Farms are located all throughout the area, yet knowledge of growing in the desert as a whole is being LOST for the general public. However, this community knows how to grow in the harsh desert environment of Arizona. Why not use this to our advantage?
REGROWTH is an alternative medicine growth and educational facility that addresses the community’s needs of indepedence with cheaper, do it yourself healthcare.

FINAL SITE SCHEME

THE SITE is located in a floodzone near CENTER & BASELINE. A flat piece of land that occasionally FLOODS proved to be the first challenge, so a large retention basin becomes the main growing area. Program is then inserted as a series of smaller buildings to spread the large site and promote dynamic movement. The second challenge was to protect the CANAL LIFE and activity that exists. Ample shed-like structures shade the majority of the site for the pedrestrians, cyclists, and animal enthusiasts. COLORED SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC PANELS The entire complex demonstrates a playful and inviting outdoor environment thanks to 26,000 Sq Ft of Solar Photovoltaic, INSULATED panels. The clarity of the panels are perfect for allowing required sunlight levels into the greenhouse spaces.
