THESIS: Objectives

1 

To create the feeling of an implied personal connection between the individual and the City Hall   through transparency and visual connection, resulting in a successful place for the individual. The City Hall will become entirely accessible, welcoming, and attainable. The City Hall needs to feel less overbearing, and powerful, and its sense of hierarchical needs to be decreased to a level that equal with the individual.

2

To create a place, where the individual feels safe and protected to share their ideas for bettering their community.

3

To expose the authenticity of City Hall so the individual becomes more informed of what policies are being created for their benefit. Exposing the City Hall will hopefully make the individual more comfortable with the policies and will work to increase the desire for the individual to take the responsibility to follow these rules.

4

To design a building that utilizes the Punk aesthetic, generated from research and personal experience. The aesthetic may appear in the overall form of the building, the material choice, in the design methodology as well as in each smaller space or detail.

5

To design a building respecting the rules of a Punk show, especially the Pit, to form the program, its juxtaposition, spatial organization, and the overall essence or feeling of the space.

6

To create a building which will be unique in response to its surroundings, and that reflects the idea of individualism. This will work to form a statement about the buildings function as a whole.
