The building for Community MusicWorks will thread together the diverse strands of the community that interacts with it. The building will enable, engage, and celebrate the many connections within the community.
My proposal for CMW in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, joins its primary components of musical performance and education, which engages a youth demographic, with a park scape that invites community farming, opening the space to the greater community, fostering engagement through music and ecology.v
The two components--music and ecology--share the fabric of the system by fracturing the landscape and extending the adjacent green space onto the roof. This elevated element has gathering outdoor space elements, including an urban farm, a park space, and an outdoor performance space.
Elevations: North, East, South, West (Top to Bottom)
The repetition, organization, and rhythm of the vertical elements allow for calibration of visibility, but also create places to enter and exit through its thickness.

The activated roof membrane creates a horizontal datum between outdoor and indoor programs. The design utilizes a vertical system that stores instruments, accommodates people learning to play instruments, and will negotiate the boundary between inside and outside.
