T his project has multiple project that cater the needs of the Seniors that might visit this center, such as; Gardening, Physical Therapy, Culinary, Pottery, Woodwork, Art/crafts, and others. These programs are located inside the 4 spaces that surround the central circulation area, which has multi-story open space.
One of the main spaces that this building offers is the plaza that is at the corner intersection of the two roads in the site. This plaza helps create more interaction between the different buildings in the site, such as the Newark Museum, and Rutgers Campus by offering the smell of a bakery and a store for the various goods that the Seniors make.

LOCATION : LIBERTY STATE PARK, NJ
YEAR: 2023
PROF: ALEXANDRA ZAPATA
PROGRAMS: RHINO ILLUSTRATOR
T HE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN THAT I DEVELOPED IS DIRIVED FROM BOTH THE HISTORY OF THE LOCATION AND THE VARIOUS SPACES THAT THE PARK HAS, SUCH AS THE FLAG PLAZA, THE BOARDWALK, THE MINI PLAZA, AND THE PARK.
I INCLUDED VARIOUS ACCESS ENTRANCES THAT PEOPLE CAN ENTER NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE PARK. THIS CONVERGENCE OF PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT LOCATIONS OF THE PARK REFLECTS THE MIGRATION OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE, FROM DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS, TO AMERICA.
THIS DESIGN INLCUDES 4 SPACES WHICH ARE, AN ART GALLERY, STUDY AREAS, A LIBRARY , OFFICE SPACES. I DECIDED TO DISTINGUISH THE 4 SPACES BASED ON THE SIZE AND THE AMOUNT OF SUNLIGHT IT RECEIVES. ALSO, I DECIDED, NOT ONLY TO KEEP THE LIBERATION STATUE WITHIN THE DESGIN, BUT I MADE ALL OF THE DESIGN PROGRAM REVOLVE AROUND IT.
