Public Interactive Spaces (NODES)This node is one of the strongest one of the three, because it connects the secluted residential district with the downtown area directly. It provides the public with seating areas, entertainmentby having public art: local paintings and sculptures and providing bike racks and water fountains.

Case study: Roxy Paine’s sculptures represent the impact nature has on its surroundings. with this in mind i considered different program arrangements that would amplify this experience and at the same time meet the requirements of space and program.

Part of the Fountain Inn master plan, FIMMA serves the community by providing a space that showcases the local art work as well as providing the community with studios for the public. this studios can be use by the local artist as well as the community in the art seminars.

In the circular diagram below, Art is broken downto its most primitive characteristics and than matched with he specific program that most relates to that characteristic.

The circular diagram was than transform into a physical model. The top has the different characteristics of art arranged in its own circular diagram. the diagram is bassed on the importance of each characteristic and than is connected to the bottom circular diagram that analyses the importanceof each major program in the same manner as the previous diagram

A kitchen Alive

AIAS/AARP Aging in Place competition: Edgar Mozo and Nick Taffel (merit award) When we thought about aging in place with thought about three different stages in life: first the young couple who had purchase their first home, second the four members family size and the elderly couple. In order to meet the necesecities that brings this different stages of life we thought that that kitchen had to modify and change along with it’s inhabitants. The modular system is very simple but efficient to all three stages, from lowering the counter tops to an elderly couple, to be able to move all the appliances in a way that would benefit the growing family.
