If you compare the "Mark"
with the sculpture on the left and assume that they both represent
"Community", you need to have a good story so that people can get meaning of the

The design students created a video to help explain their design intent

The sequence from the student's video illustrates the coming together of community members into the
various programs of the Community Center as represented by the larger triangles.

several other sculptors were presented - followed by some design ideas of my own.
Charles Ginnever's Crab, Arthur Silverman's Kaleidoscope, Lygia Clark's
Neoconcretos
