Art plus architecture

Abstract

Art is an essential aspect of any community. All over the world art is a celebrated and crucial part of any culture. It symbolizes the past, explains the present, and looks toward the future. I explored the concept of art, its relationship to the local community, the culture of the place, and its effect on the architecture while on a study abroad experience, Polyark 19 World Tour 5. During this time, I developed a hometown project which I felt would better the community. Before the design process I met with local organizations to discuss what would be beneficial. The program which I developed was a community arts center and theater that was inspired by precedents that were studied and examined while on route.Thesis (B.?)Honors Colleg
