dc.description.abstract | This book explores the crucial role played by architects in responding to the requirements of the built environment and meeting the needs of developers. It presents a methodology for achieving a balance between the needs of different stakeholders, such as developers, occupants, and the broader community. This methodology is applied to the proposed building design for Thornton Avenue in Newark, California. The site presents various challenges, including traffic congestion, limited parking, and safety concerns for pedestrians and cyclists. Its proximity to major cities such as San Francisco also predicted that demand for housing is expected to increase by 40% by 2040. To address these challenges, the proposed building design prioritizes creating a pedestrian-friendly environment, providing increased housing options, and supporting local commerce. The commercial mixed-use building features Level 1 dedicated to commercial activities, while the upper levels are reserved for residential units. The design incorporates walkability elements, outdoor terraces, and a central plaza, providing a multi-functional space for community engagement and social interaction. The project successfully integrates with the surrounding neighborhood, provides a solution that meets the needs of the community. It aims to foster a vibrant mixed-use community while promoting economic growth, demonstrating how architects can balance the needs of various stakeholders to achieve a successful outcome. | en |
