W A T E R S C A P E Facilities for aquatic competition are engineered to provide a highly controlled environment optimized to do one thing, increase performance of swimmers. This singular objective typically inhibits the facility from assimilating into its local community. My proposal attempts to integrate the necessity for a high-performance competitive swimming pool with the desire for a multivalent facility that promotes community interaction. The project manifests itself as a new civic waterscape that synthesizes public & private with specificity & adaptability through 21st century water rituals.
