| dc.description.abstract | Architecture is nothing but monument-building if people do not use it and participate in it. Architectural monuments have very little place in an urban context particularly in one which is trying to come back to "life"as in El Paso, Texas. This project proposal attempts to become a catalyst of human activity and interaction in downtown El Paso by providing a wide variety of services and interests such as professional offices, cultural programs, festivals, temporary vendors, and established retailers - it is a multi-use facility. It will become a catalyst not because of its form or the spectacle it creates by itself, but rather, because of what it is and contains and the way in which it ministers to the countinuous need of humans to be around and experience other humans. In so doing, this project will become the central "life force" from which the rest of downtown El Paso and the city as a while will become revitalized in a deeper sense than just restoring old buildings. | |
