[NURTURE]well-being

Abstract

The project typology is a community center within an urban city master plan. The project is located in Aurora, Colorado and investigates the problem of disconnected neighborhoods. The theoretical premise claims the following: Architecture links isolated urban environments by developing points within a city for smaller communities to connect to one another. When architectural design strategies enhance the mission of the Church, the community’s physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being will be nurtured through the medium of architecture. The community center is 198,000 SF including an auditorium, gymnasium, 200m running track, recreational facility, fellowship hall, administration, and educational classrooms.
