Abstract
The intention of this thesis is to create a “Bridge” between two communities that are dealing with Physical and Social fragmentation. To address the issue of fragmentation, the design’s program will introduce 3 Well Being Programs. Physical Well Being, Intellectual Well Being, and Well Being through Sense of Community.
The West End community presents two forms for fragmentation Physical and Social. The specifically strives to create engagement between the older community in the West End historic neighborhood and younger community of the Atlanta University Students.
The 3 Well Being programs include on the Intellectual side a Trade school. The Physical well being will be addressed through a transformable skate park and food hall which provides healthy food options. Finally, the well being through Sense of community will be addressed through a Dynamic Display space and transformable amphitheater.
