About Aero Grove Xarunta Dhaqanka Bulshada

Aero Grove waa dhismo dhaqameed oo ku yaal meel cagaaran oo dadweyne oo Boston ku taal. Waxay baadhaysaa sida dhismayaasha waaweyni ay si hoose ugu midoobi karaan magaalada, iyagoo soo bandhigaya hawlaha dhaqanka iyo waxbarashada iyagoo ilaalinaya xorriyadda iyo qulqulka goobta. Meelaha bandhigyada ayaa ku dhex milmaya waaya-aragnimo qoto dheer, halka barxadda heerka labaad ay kobciso wada-hadal iyo ku-dhaqanka. Qaabkeeda wareega ah ee qulqulaya iyo jaranjarooyinka isku-buuq ah waxay si dabiici ah isugu xidhaan dadka, dhismaha, dabeecadda, iyo magaalada. Wejiga dhismaha wuxuu noqonayaa sawir-dharaar loo isticmaalo iftiinka maalinlaha ah iyo hooska. Waxay bixisaa waaya-aragnimooyin laga bilaabo aragtiyaha magaalada ilaa barxadaha gaarka ah ee dhow.

Unique Properties: Aero Grove is a public cultural center located in a public area in Boston. The design explores how a large structure can humbly integrate into the urban fabric. It aims to create an inviting, active green space while featuring exhibition and immersive experience areas. Its fluid, circular form ensures open access and encourages community use. Incorporating a central courtyard, rooftop paths, and layered facades, the building seamlessly blends into the cityscape and promotes interaction among community members, culture, and technology.

Design Challenge: How to make the open space more active to provide diverse spaces to attract people to enjoy the design.
Research: Observe and interview users of the existing public space to understand how it is currently used. Analyze their activities not only to incorporate them into the design, but also to enhance the environment and introduce a wider variety of spaces.
Inspiration: When a building is introduced to a site, the architect has a responsibility to consider the original function of the space and its significance to users, the community, and the city. Designing in a highly frequented public green space calls for the building to enter the site with a humble presence, preserving as much of the original function as possible while creating new moments of interaction for both people and the urban environment.
Project Duration: Boston, United States
The design phase lasted 4 months. It is a concept design.
Operation Flow: The design with its open green area provides different environments for the community to enjoy the public space: enjoying sunshine, staying under the shade of trees, and resting under the roof.
It provides different heights for people to interact with the city through the rooftop trail.
