Abstract
dc:description.abstract“An architectural initiation includes today, in my opinion, a strong familiarity with history-a history that is no longer a storehouse of forms or a workshop of styles, but one that simply offers the material for thinking about the evolution of architecture, as well as the way in which architects worked in the past.” - Rafael Moneo The critical placing of new architectural elements against a preexisting context offers an opportunity to uncover both a historical and a physical dimension. The project becomes a kind of seam in a currently undefined urban situation. It is an attempt to amplify the small town structure of Pulaski through a carefully placed civic building typology reconnecting the major town elements of Main Street and Third Street.
