[Audio] Thank you for your attention. The aim of this project is to create an environment that is both inclusive and self-sufficient, allowing community development to thrive. To do this, we need to consider the relationship between two different interface domains—street-plot interfaces and urban interfaces. The street-plot interface focuses on the front yard and building entry areas, as well as how the ground floor and sidewalk can be used to invigorate street life. As for the urban interface, it is the space between architectural forms and public spaces that facilitates the dialogue between private and public realms. In total, there are a variety of types of urban interfaces like front yards, verandas, porches, raised entrances and stairs. All of these physical components are important to take into consideration when designing an environment that enables community development..

[Audio] The purpose of this project is to create an inclusive and self-sufficient environment for community development. The design focuses on two fundamental interface domains, namely the street-building interface and the plot-building interface. The street-building interface enables a distinction between public and private spaces through the use of architectural elements such as recesses, balconies, windows, porticos, arcades, bay windows and cumbias or oriels. The plot-building interface creates a distinction between common and private spaces in the same urban block. With this design, it is hoped that a comfortable and stimulating environment for the entire community is achieved..

We are determined to craft a comprehensive design that regards the needs of all citizens, thus providing an equitable urban environment for those involved..

[Audio] We are proposing a project that designs an environment that is both inclusive and self-sufficient. With an emphasis on economic solidarity, this environment will give access to services and resources that are not available to a large section of the population. This kind of space provides people without a physical location the chance to sell their goods and services with less financial burden and risk. We also understand that only promoting retail activities can limit the public's access to the space, so we plan to create an environment that is multifunctional and open to everyone, offering support to communities that are disadvantaged..

[Audio] Our project intends to establish a self-sufficient and all-embracing atmosphere for the overall public. Architecture bestows us the chance to make a long-lasting effect past the structure itself. Structures, sketched out prudently with the atmosphere in sight, can sparkle financial growth, bolster nearby communities, and link people from numerous backgrounds. With measured consideration of the social and ecological framework, and how the structure works, we can initiate positive ripples that will continue for years to come. Let's reflect on the larger scheme, and use architecture to really effect the world..

Three tiers are proposed: programmatic, site, and building. The programmatic level is planned to be active and vibrant by providing a socio-cultural complex, with programming and activities tailored to users. The site level is to include open, free and accessible public realm, incorporating stilted open spaces for activities. The building level involves an attractive and integrated reinterpretation of a library, featuring an atrium to serve as an integrated facility with visual connections and bright, open, flexible spaces, as well as a courtyard for visual connections, wind flow and microclimates. The design includes multipurpose, flexible column-free spaces, engagements and common spaces, a biophilic building, interconnected spaces, split levels, a North-oriented orientation to avoid glare, and appropriate interpretation of atriums and courtyards with open green spaces..
