Healing By Design - Program

ARCH IX: Thesis

Professor Lia Dikigoropoulou - Christopher Mancia - Healing By Design - Program

The Art Colony will serve as an important part of the New City Center. Recognizing it's importance to the School of Art, we have separated the full program into three individual buildings, each with their own identity but expressing communal values seen in local landmarks such as the Central Market.

Program Precedent - Powerhouse Arts - Herzog and de Meuron

As part of the program investigation, we have referred to the Powerhouse Arts building located in Gowanus, Brooklyn by Herzog and de Meuron. This building encompasses a ceramics studio, wood and metal shops, print studio, classrooms and performance spaces.

Program Organization 

As we would look to introduce collaboration between the park and the proposed buildings, we look to create building identity by the art produced. The first building is dedicated to the Sculpture and Painting Studios, bringing in Galleries and Classrooms as additional program. The second building is the Artist Residences introducing a Communal Kitchen for residents to share their cuisines. The third building represents the Textile and Print Studio with a Market and Classrooms as the additional program.
