Public Pool House
Pools constitute an ideal spatial typology for a different reading of urban space. Historically, and opposite to other public spaces and commercial amusements in America, pools reinforced class and gender divisions but not racial distinctions. Located in a complex neighborhood battling racial, economic, and urban challenges, the proposed recreational public pool facility looks to become an everyday figure in a neighborhood that is oftentimes stigmatized. As such, the project tackles the public pool as a program for experimentation around unique environmental and spatial conditions that will foster new ways of social interaction.
