I think the beauty of architecture is its willingness to challenge our thinking and perception of what is possible. Like a drop of water in a limitless ocean, architecture’s vast diversity creates an oppor tunity for us to build and imagine a future that we wish to live in. Architecture has to power to facilitate a better world today and for the generations still to come. As an optimistic dreamer, it is my belief that to give for m to an imagination or experience is to architecture.

Bowman Design Forum Competition
Situated within a fragmented urban fabric, the design takes the form of a mass to stitch back the fabric. However, a connection between Missouri and Ohio Street was critical to maintain as it would provide opportunities for circulation to the city park. To establish this connection, the mass was split creating a circulation spine that allows movement from Missouri to Ohio St. as well as divides the mass into two program bars; the left bar consisting of the teen and children spaces, while the right bar contains the multi-use space and the administration.

Local case study
Space is not set to stone. It can and will be ever-changing as the space serves purposes beyond a farmer’s market. Non-load bearing partitions are used to shape the space as it is now to shape views to the teaching kitchen and define circulation spaces for pedestrians and for vendors. The fluidness of the design creates a highly versatile and adaptable space for the market to transform its experience.

Strategy
P. 21
Partitions were placed strategically to achieve several different purposes. First, to mask views into neighboring service spaces along the east and south end of the site. Second, to shape views and circulation paths into the market and within the market, creating an emphasis on the path to the teaching kitchen along the north facade. Finally, to allow for passive air circulation/cooling via prevailing southern winds.

Wedges act to engulf the gem in the garden, adding protection and stability. From these wedges, a series of concrete girders disperse outward to further engulf the gem.
Structure and Bracing is added to the wedges to provide stability
