To survive, the Peace Pentagon has to dedicate 20% of its space to
“high revenue” tenants, often considered “opponents” to its member’s
core beliefs. We saw this irony as an opportunity, imagining a street
level podium, integrating all the programs of their high-revenue
neighbors. Above, a physical gap would create a new “first floor” open
to the public with a “stage” for events and rallies. Upper levels beyond
house the member’s layout promoting interaction between organizations,
through strategic spaces open to the main circulation. The semi
transparent facade offers exposure to engage other tenants while
offering a level of privacy. The ultimate goal; communal sustainability.
