Blow-up
Design Description
• Design two focal points in front of the Community Center to form an axis to visually connect the community center, central plaza and the parking lot;
• Use a natural pond and a drilled rock fountain group to add a joyous spirit and create a pleasant acoustical background.
• The two focal points also act as threshold spaces that clarify the space relationship and sequential experience of moving from one space to another.
