Poesie fait por tous – Lautréamont
the objective of my design is to reconstruct the viaduct into a community center, a building which can question the public’s perception of an ex-con and most importantly break the ex-con self-identification with her/his criminal past, by creating a lifestyle which will prompt the capacity to revolutionize his/her own life. By altering the dynamics of a traditional building and empower people through architecture, the ex-con is integrated into society through encounter and play by achieving maximum participation from the local community and creating situations of spontaneous, everchanging, and continuous life experiences. Ultimately construct new moments of life, allowing local community and residents to drift in building a living organism that is sympathetic to human ludic and social need.
