| dc.description.abstract | Every person has a different background and personal perspective. This
background shapes how we perceive and interact with others in our daily
lives. Can shared spaces and experiences shift our perspectives and
make us more understanding and compassionate to those who share
our present, but come with varied pasts? This project proposes that by
creating a space focused on interaction, service, and exchange amongst
people from a variety of backgrounds; a city and community can become
more positively connected.
Many people often feel misunderstood and isolated within the places
they live. This may be due to recent relocation, marginalization, cultural
differences, or various other personal or community aspects. However,
most people have needs within a community that coincide with the needs
of others.
Providing a space for people to connect through a variety of need; from
enjoying a meal together to crafting something with one’s hands or
from creative expression to gaining knowledge to better one’s personal
situation; a community can share in the need for well-being - emotionally,
physically, socially, and culturally. This project provides opportunity to
meet a variety of these needs as one heads toward self-actualization and
becoming our best selves together. | en_US |
