This was an undergraduate student project by Corey Dirutigliano for OCMA (Ohio Concrete Masonry Association) Block Competition, as well as ARCH 342 course, Winter 2005. The focus of the OCMA masonry block competition uses concrete block to develop a community center on South High Street. This project focuses on overturning stereotypical fence/defense systems within the surrounding neighborhood. Ideally, a community center is open to all - yet protected against negative elements. The intent of this particular design was one that takes this idea of boundary and allows it to change roles through out the plan. The program also serves to help activate these moments and liberate the wall from its regular purpose. -- Corey Dirutigliano This work is a part of the online collections of the Knowlton School of Architecture Student Archives, The Ohio State University.
