The project is located in West Plam Beach, Florida. The Design Process Involved with the urban Plan included these structures: an aquarium, outdoor theater, re-designed library, urban park, landscape plan for the Exploratorium, and the designing of the Exploratorium. A model was completed to show the Exploratrium and its relationship to the urban plan. The design for The Bauhaus For Children is the result of doing research on art/ architectural education and the role of the architect. I feel, the architect needs to play the role of an educator.The majority of society have little teaching in the field of art or architecture. This means the architect, responsible to everyone for what he does, should motivate society to learn. This project is located on a site with civic concerns The site was used as the ferry boat landing and now houses the Public Library. With the new design and functions for the site, it fullfills the need for being civic. My design was created from a series of diagramatic models and images. This series of diagrams dealt wth the reading of the city in order to create a design language. I feel, the project has addressed the civic concern through the marriage of science and art. Architecture is more understandable to the public when it tries to blend the language of its setting with that of the image. My project is a result of this marriage. The Bauhaus For Children evolved into a Center within the City Center that educates society about art, architecture, and science. / Department of Architecture
