SOUTHLIGHT PROJECT

INFO

​

Our goal is to create new connections for the community, especially from Trinity Square into the Southside Cultural Center's main entrance as well as a connection from Bridgham Street to Central Street. This would allow visibility for the Cultural Center and new spaces for program within the parking lot. We took into consideration the Cultural Center's future plans for construction and the number of parking spaces needed for this organization. Our three spaces of program are structured in a way that allow for flexibility depending on the use of the space. The outdoor theatre space can hold live performances, and, become a relaxing green space to sit and for children to play. By night, the outdoor theatre becomes a place to enjoy a film. The courtyard is a plaza space intended to be used for small or large gatherings of people to sit in a calm and shaded area. It also serves a pathway from the parking lot into the Cultural Center's entrance, creating a pedestrian-friendly zone between them. Lastly, the community garden is meant to bring in nearby neighbors and anyone in the community who wishes to participate.
