RESILIENCE REVEAL CENTER
Fourth Year
"I think about architecture all the time. Thats the problem. But I've always been like that. I dream it sometimes."

This project acts as a proposal for the transformation of an existing golf course into a learning center which looks to educate local communities on what natural disasters are, how we contribute to the problem, and how future communities can be developed and built in anticipation of these events. The project proposes the rehabilitation of the local plant fauna while maintaining the existing golf cart paths in order to create a public hiking park which can be enjoyed by anyone and in the case of a natural disaster could be used as shelter through the placement of modular housing units throughout the site, converting the site itself into an exhibit on the potential design and building practices which could one day be utilized in case of the occurrence of natural disasters.
RESILIENCE REVEAL CENTER
Along with the main facility we also have these aspects to the projects named: S.H.E.L.T.R.'s an acronym that stands for Sustainable Housing Emergency Long Term Resillience. Our goal with these Sheltrs was to portray examples of future housing that accomodate to natural disasters in a way that allow the peope that are visiting the park to be able to learn and take knowledge back home with them and apply them to their own situations. Along with this they will be available to the public to rest in during the year and during a natural disaster they are designed to house around 25 people per sheltr set.
