Climate Change Plaza proposal:
Designing the Climate Change Museum.
This proposal presents a two building structure that creates a central courtyard designed to draw in the public.
The Climate Change Plaza courtyard serves the public as a place to relax, communicate and to learn about the global problem of climate change. The structure faces Canal Street in the vibrate neighborhood of Soho. Soho has been a popular place for artists, fashion professionals and tourists since the 1980’s. As urban development increases, the goal of this design is to back away from the highrise typology.
Plaza for visitors to interact with people from the community interested in climate change
Knowledge Points where visitor can become informed of the effects of climate change on the earth.
