The 2024 class of Summer Scholars focused on Virginia Beach, building on the work of the previous year's research by proposing a year-round ecosystem for the Central Beach area. The city, primarily driven by tourism and military presence, presents a unique blend of transient and permanent characteristics. Their project, "Virginia Beach: Interlaced," aims to weave community cohesion through a large-scale multimodal loop and strategic architectural inlays, enriching experiences for both locals and tourists across diverse urban scales.
