Urban sites have the responsibility to create spaces that enhance the local moral and encourage social interaction. Generating a consistent effort to create unity among locals is essential. It is not a crime to have ornaments. It is how architects express their full talent. Architects are artists at heart, you do not give an artist a color book and ask him to fill in the blank. It is imperative to design with site and program in mind. There should never be a template. There needs to be a process of discovery, exploration, and output.

The purpose of this study is to introduce optical illusion methods within architecture. An effort to reignite excitement and social engagement.

A thought provoking destination that encourages social interaction and advocacy for the arts. Open to the public.
