EMBRACE DANCE COMMUNITY CENTER


Architecture, Programatic Development, Site Design

DALSTON

RHYTHM

Dalston is a multicultural neighborhood in London that

is in constant flux. The idea for this program is to expose

the community to itself. The building is made up of a

combination of dance spaces and tailor shops. Both

parts of the program are for public use, with a small

administrative group that interacts and collaborates with

the community.

The Embrace Community Dance Center is a blend of many

elements that make up the urban environment of London.

The four elements that anchored this project are:

Rhythm, represened by the dance center.

Community enrichment, the basis for the development of the tailor shop.

Embrace/enhance which represents the diversity that makes Dalston special and Variation which allows this

building to belong to the community.

DETROIT IDEA CENTER

The Idea Center is a space that unites

urban-farming and enriches the

area of Corktown by emphasizing its

beauty and history with a quality of

education.

Detroit has developed a culture of

urban farming, a movement that offers

great potential for the community.

The sill will be a connection between

the urban-farmers in Detroit and offer

them the tools that they may not have

access to.

The design incorporates education

which can be achieved through

the areas of farming, composing/

Recycling and the arts, with a strong

understanding of te history of the site

and the community.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR SENIORS AND FOSTER TEENS

Seniors and foster teens are groups that easily find themselves

disadvantaged, vulnurable and sometimes ignored by society.

In this community they can complement each other seniors

can serve as role models for teens, while the teens can be aids

and companions for the seniors.

El Centro ProjectPiaxtla | Puebla | Mexico

Map of Piaxtla with the main square (El Centro) and main highway highlighted.

A) Map of Mexico showing the location of the state of Puebla. B) Map of Puebla showing the location of the municipality of Piaxtla.

Photograph taken in 1942 from the northern mountain. It shows the most important elements in a Mexican community: 1) the church 2) the Market place 3) the public park 4) and the Municipal building

The plaza is a weekly market where vendors gather to sell their goods in Piaxtla. This event enables townspeople to do their shopping of fresh pro-

duce along with most items needed throughout the week and eliminates the need for supermarkets or large retail stores.

The festival is a celebration devoted to the Virgin of the Ascension and many ceremonies and events are held. Many carnival rides and booths are

invited to participate, and this gives the town a nocturnal quality that doesnt exist throughout the rest of the year. Whereas the market place and

the plaza are used by locals and visitors for necesities, the feria serves mostly recreational purposes.

This phtograph taken from the southern mountain 70 years later shows that the town expands concentrically around El Centro. The four structures have remained important.

This photgraph shows the market place (mercado) in use in 1942, where vendors could gather to

sell their goods. This commercial method has been in use since precolumbian times.

This fountain was constructed near the church and was meant to represent the core of the town. Still a very important structure, the market place (mercado) has grown exponentially to acco-

modate a growing population. This shed is used for the weekly Plaza market and for important

events and gatherings especially during the festival (feria). It is also slowly transforming into a

permanent market place like those found in larger Mexican cities such as Puebla and Oaxaca.

The fountain has been replaced by a kiosko, a small pavilion for taking refreshment.

Antonia Manuel German & Juana

Symbol Key

Mobile Stalls: Vendors whose wares are small enough to be carried through the market place. Some examples are blankets, wire mesh stands and small carts.

Booths: Assembled structures that protect vendors and their goods from the elements and act as shelter through the month.

Rides: Amusement rides that include a carousel, bumper cars, ferris wheel, tilt-a-whirl. Also arcade houses and trampolines.

Table Stalls: Stalls created by joining tables for displaying goods. Primarily found within the shed which provides cover.

El Mercado: The shed (el jacaln) at the center of town has been used primarily to hold major events and the weekly plaza. It has begun to be used by resident vendors to sell produce, food and other goods on a daily basis.

La Plaza: The plaza is a traditional farmers market. Every wednesday local vendors set up in the town square to sell everything from household items to livestock. This lasts from sun-up to sun-down.

La Feria: The fair is an annual festivity held during the month of August. Vendors from all over Mexico are invited, along with carnival booths and rides. They are primarily out-of-towners whose booths serve as their shelter for the duration of the fair.

Color Key

August 8th 2012First Plaza of the month.

Vehicles: Many of the vendors transport their goods using cars and trucks. These fill space around the main square.

PLAZA TIMELINESMARKET TIMELINE

Though the weekly plaza is organized in a very organic manner, there are new attempts to make business within the shed more orderly. Pathways were made to create sections for dierent types of vendors. So the meat sellers are grouped together in one section while the baked goods are in another. The mercado is also used during other days of the week though not in the same scale as the weekly market. The schedule is similar however, with people setting up fruit stands and makeshift kitchens for selling food. It is a known fact that in most Mexican cities it is in the market places that you find their culture. The best food, the local styles, regional goods and crafts. And as Piaxtla grows, El Mercado must also adapt.

PLAZA TIMELINESPLAZA TIMELINE

The weekly market is held every wednesday, though most vendors arrive the night before to set up. The plaza sprawls accross the square and takes a dierent shape every week. This timeline shows the duration of the plaza from 5 am where the vendors wake to display their merchandise until 5 pm when the square is thouroughly cleaned by municipal waste management.

Elevation: South facade of mercado.

This poster series project was an

analysis of El Centro, the town square,

of a small town in Mexico. Particularely

fascinating was the way the town

square is utilized during It morphs

into a weekly market place, a carnival,

a dance hall, a public park and a

shopping center almost seamlessly.

It is also slowly growing into a

permanent open-air marketplace.

During the fair it is an extremely

flexible space that has the ability

to simultaneously accomodate the

needs of two different worlds: the

townspeople who live here year-round

and the returning population.

The information for this project was

obtained through direct observation

and interaction with the space of the

town square and its users.
