COMMUNITY CENTER DESIGN

This community center design reimagines vernacular architecture with a sustainable, multi-use approach. It features a modern, woven grid-shell canopy, a series of passive wind-catchers for natural ventilation, and an inviting central courtyard “heart.” Programmatic spaces like a large gathering hall, exhibition gallery, library, and café are integrated within a clear, volumetric layout, creating a vibrant hub for community interaction and culture.

Center Exterior Angle

This exterior angle highlights the contrast between the rough stone structure and the fluid, wave-like white canopy. Arched glass windows illuminate the interior against a sunset backdrop, surrounded by desert landscaping and water features.
