About Aero Grove Sentrong Kultural ng Komunidad

Ang Aero Grove ay isang gusaling pangkultura na nakalagay sa isang pampublikong berdeng espasyo sa Boston. Tinutuklas nito kung paano maaaring mapakumbabang makiisa ang malalaking arkitektura sa lungsod, na nagpapakilala ng mga tungkuling pangkultura at pang-edukasyon habang pinananatili ang kalayaan at daloy ng lugar. Ang mga espasyo para sa eksibisyon ay nakikihalubilo sa mga nakaaakit na karanasan, at ang plataporma sa ikalawang antas ay nagtataguyod ng diyalogo at pagsasanay. Ang umaagos nitong pabilog na anyo at ang gumagalaw na mga ramp ay natural na nag-uugnay sa mga tao, arkitektura, kalikasan, at lungsod. Ang harapan ng gusali ay nagiging kanbas para sa liwanag ng araw at anino. Nag-aalok ito ng mga karanasan mula sa mga tanawin ng lungsod hanggang sa mga malapit na patyo.

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.
