What if the armory transcends its physical boundaries and becomes an urban condenser, a local culinary center, and a nexus of human connection? With a balance of landscape and buildings, density and expanse, passages and destinations, this proposal utilizes the space under the armory roof to integrate various programs and specialized services. The integrated mixture will not only help support healthy lifestyles but also further enhance economic prosperity for its users and the surrounding neighborhood. The project unfolds across four interconnected towers, each dedicated to address specific local needs, including food, culture, sports, and health. Different user groups of the neighborhood meander through the armory, gaining a diverse range of experiences and social interactions with others. Opening up the exterior facade and sculpting pathways to allow people to use the building as a portal to shortcut passages and continuous journey experiences. The armory transcends into an intersection of extended opportunities for the explorers.
