This project aims to empower the local population by creating a congregational space within the neighborhood, lending towards safer street life. The form of the building uses the local residential type as a point of departure, borrowing, adapting, and rearranging its three crucial elements - frame, volume, and pitch. The potential of these modest elements to serve at a larger scale while respecting the context and accommodating the diversified functions of a community center, are explored in this project.
