After reading the requirements for this project, the first thing I thought of was the various amount of spaces that we had to fit inside the dimensions that were given to us. I started to organize the spaces based on their respective activity. Although I wanted to separate these spaces I came to realize that I didn’t want two separate buildings rather, I wanted to have a connecting component that would allow two major spaces come together as one. The community connection is something I found important to Clifton. When visiting the site, everyone seems to be comfortable and interacting with one another. I wanted to create a design that resembles the importance of a community by providing an open and comfortable environment that would allow people to interact with one another.
