Kashmere Gardens Transit Center

MINIMIZE | MAXIMIZE Infrastructure is not a term conventionally used to describe the underpinnings of social life. But this is a consequential oversight, because the built environment -- and not just cultural preferences or the existence of voluntary organizations -- influences the breadth and depth of our associations. If states and societies do not recognize social infrastructure and how it works, they will fail to see a powerful way to promote civic engagement and social interaction, both within communities and across group lines. - Eric Klinenberg, Palaces for the People

Adaptive design for year-round use in a time-lapse of the Kashmere Gardens community's needs throughout their daily activities. The design was inspired and led by the lack of a safe, protected and strictly available for the community's needs facility, regardless of age, race, gender, and income levels.

The diagram showing the suggested plan for the relocation of the existing Kashmere Gardens transit center. This transit center would be transformed into a metro hub, boosting both community engagement and creating resources for the underserved families of color.
