“An important value for us is drawing together all of the various elements of

architecture – materials, space, form, light, color – and producing a unified

whole. We’re not at all interested in producing a collage. People’s lives are the

collage and you don’t need a collage on top of a collage. You need to provide

some sense of wholeness so the kaleidoscope can occur within it.”

– Billie Tsien

VISION FOR THE FUTURE

Architecture has always been a complex profession that requires expertise from many disciplines to succeed. As design teams expand in s ize and range of expertise in response to the complexity of bui ld ings and c i t ies in the 21st century, the role of architects has never been more important . Learn ing to effectively collaborate with people in other disciplines including engineering, construction, real estate development, and building technology has become essent ia l to the future generat ions of architects. Preparing our students to be leaders in practice is the core vision for the future of the Flourishing Communities Collaborative.

FC2 seeks to lead and serve by:

+ providing opportunities for community outreach and engagement

+ fostering interdisciplinary work in design, construction, and engineering

+ supporting student interaction with the professional community

+ educating leaders for current and future local and global urban landscapes

We see the Flourishing Communities Collaborative as an innovative 21st century educational model blending the academy and practice.

VISION FOR THE FUTURE

We engage in educating, leading, and serving by working with the community. We seek to empower through design by engaging communities and inspiring solutions for individuals who would not otherwise have access to innovative technology, architecture, urban design, construction, or engineering.

We are committed to providing an exce l len t and un ique educa t iona l e x p e r i e n c e g ro u n d e d i n d e s i g n , technology, and professional practice.

PROGRAM STRUCTURE

F C 2 i s f u n d a m e n t a l l y r o o t e d i n c o m m u n i t y e n g a g e m e n t , s o c i a l outreach, and education. We offer a platform for students to learn alongside faculty and professionals, much like a teaching hospital. Our students learn the valuable skill of creative listening which leads to creative thinking and making. By bringing the resources we have at Tech to underserved and under resourced communit ies, we support neighborhoods by providing design services and bringing realizable ideas to them. We engage in educat ing, leading, and serving by doing urban community projects.

Our outreach efforts are offered via design studios and workshop seminars s o o u r s t u d e n t s c a n e a r n c o u r s e c r e d i t w h i l e g a i n i n g i n v a l u a b l e

+ ± 2 to 3 acres can be more easily plugged into existing context or other developments

+ ± 18-24 units per acre appears like a proper target for economic sense in an urban environment (too many units can reduce sense of community and too little can feel like sprawl)

+ A mix of unit types allows for a diverse user base and creates a more dynamic environment

+ Communal amenities are a priority to encourage resident interaction

+ Indoor/outdoor spaces at a range of scales are used to provide different levels of interaction

+ Focus on food production, art, and cultural programs

BUILT2LAST: RESILIENT DESIGNConcept

Coalescence sits at the intersection of social and environmental resilience. Its construction offers an innovative use of standard hollow-core concrete slabs and calls for inventive advancements of concrete for water purification. As many emergencies in Atlanta, Georgia concern water (or the lack thereof) , Coalescence is designed to direct , collect, and filter water. The controlled f low of water works to serv ice the needs of the community center, curb flooding in nearby areas, and provide a unique refreshing amenity for the n e i g h b o r h o o d . A d d i t i o n a l l y, t h e building will push for new innovations in concrete that w i l l a l low for the f inished mater ial and i ts aggregate to puri fy water. In t imes of calm or emergency, the center is an oasis. The building is an object in its landscape -

connect ing a network of parks and offering a programmed sequence of functional roof gardens.

The s t ruc tu re ’s roo f s y s tem i s an innovative use of hollow-core concrete slabs. The slabs, able to be produced in 100’+ lengths , a re mi tered and e c o n o m i c a l l y a s s e m b l e d t o f o r m triangular panels.

Water is life. Water is community. Water is concrete.
