Culturally responsive architecture : a community center and housing for Latinos in Roxbury
.This thesis will provide an example of how architecture can be an expression of a particular culture and still be generally contextual in relation to the site as well as responsive to unmet social needs. It will also explore the influence of culture on architecture by considering two "cultural models," Anglo-American and Latino. The vehicle I will use is a community center, housing, and public outdoor space for the Latino community in Roxbury, a neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. From the total Roxbury population, which comprises blacks, Latinos, Cape Verdeans and whites, I will focus on the Latino community. With this focus, I am by no means intending to isolate or favor this particular group. My main objective, instead, is to help strengthen and develop the Latino community and hopefully in the process build bridges to the other cultural elements of the community.
