Title
Hamilton Canal District
Project Description
Unlike cities such as New Haven, where centralized public space is a municipal function, Lowell levies canal and river front property to position the enclave as an integral spatial configuration.
We propose a re-imagination of the enclave and cloister morphologies as a flexible porous structure and focuses on areas adjacent to the downtown and Hamilton Canal District with latent possibilities to induce mixité and inclusion.
Like a Gilles Clement landscape, our architecture speculates that the city of Lowell can be set in motion to cultivate emergent behaviors over an indeterminate space of time.
