(mentor) Koskamp, G. (graduation committee) Degree granting institution Delft University of Technology Date 2020-07-03 Abstract People from different ages and cultural backgrounds look for a place where they can gather and engage in certain activities, but there is no such space, like a community center, within the site, which exerts a negative influence on social coherence.How to use the architectural approach to improve the neighborhood’s social coherence within a multicultural context? More specifically, how to make the community center recognizable and iconic enough to attract neighborhoods, citizens or even visitors; how to turn indoor/outdoor areas to functional/gathering spaces which increase the interaction between locals from different age and ethnic groups; and how to help locals adopt a united neighborhood identity.Based on current trends and cases, a new type of community center which embraces multiple functions has become the mainstream of public buildings in Western Europe. These new urban living rooms welcome everyone. This studio investigates this new type of building by research and design. The research part includes research on context and precedents. The former gives us a whole picture of city, people and society which is related to the sites, the latter inspires us and helps us learn from those practices, both success and failure. During which time, the Research Methods seminar encourages us to review architectural discourse in a broader perspective, then locate our own architectural positions, while the Research Methods tutorial empowers our imagination, helping us develop our own manifesto that reflects the project’s ambition. Having being equipped with all this knowledge, we will have the ability to develop our multiplicity projects in a more logical and powerful way, which enriches the design concept of the public condenser and fulfill our own design ambitions.
