Abstract
In this age of diminishing direct interaction between people, due largely to the automobile and the internet, it is important that public spaces be designed to help initiate interaction between people. This in turn will increase something that is desperately needed, sense of community. Because spaces for informal interaction are in tremendous need it is imperative that we design spaces that stimulate interaction and bring people together through regular use of the space. An effective way to achieve this is to bring together a combination of uses, civic and social, to one site, in order to interest everyone and bring a mix of users to the site. We need rebuild the backbone that can support a strong community. Further, this thesis will focus on the meaning of identity as related to community. The conjecture is that architecture can help facilitate the face-to-face interaction that is much needed in society today.
