Preface
Born of a broader, more conceptual interest in product and material reuse, this investigation has become increasingly focused on understanding the socio-urban effects of material and spatial appropriation on community revitalization. This study aims to build off of this more notional investigation as a means of discovering and implementing a more effective development paradigm in struggling or contracting communities.
Perceptions of Conceptual Intervention Sites and Strategies
An intervention site cannot be effectively conceptualized as one, localized parcel. “Site” is more productively perceived on the level of the neighborhood and community at large, in which the center is surrounded by constellations of community-programmed civic spaces, giving dimension to different cultures and activities, and connected through and exacerbated by existing urban amenities. The invention and implementation of “event” is the creation of a single occasion, precisely defined in time and space -- the “event” is a form of centralization and revitalization.
