I want to see this center of our city government become a place where all forms of cultural expression can occur. Cultural programming has to reflect our very diverse community, which is growing more so each day. It should be broad enough that many people can relate to it. I'm looking to create opportunities for art which keeps evolving beyond the completion date of the building. Some pieces of art will be integrated in to the building, becoming very much a part of the architecture, while other discrete artworks might be included within the open space.
Art can further express the environmental concerns.
We've also talked about creating a sculptural enclosure for some of the customer service functions in the first floor lobby, using those forms as a gallery area for exhibitions. The exterior walls in the lobby space could be for more major exhibitions, while interior walls might be used for rotating displays of projects that are occurring in the City, such as those community projects financed by Neighborhood Matching Funds. I want to find ways to incorporate techology in a creative way that is in sync with the evolving and changing technological field. I start with a lot of research. At the same time I try to find the heart or the soul of a project that can provide inspiration.
