Peace Pentagon: A New Exposure Board
Peace Pentagon: A New Exposure Board
The Peace Pentagon symbolizes a voice against violence. It has housed a generation of activists dedicated to promoting peace within this country and abroad. As an activist organization the headquarters should express a welcoming atmosphere that encourages participation and interaction. It also should act as an anchor for the community—creating a physical space in which those who share similar agendas can gather and be weathered together as a collective. There is a deep history behind the skin of 339 Lafayette, which needs to be preserved and simultaneously reinvented to reveal new evolutions. These two personalities are the momentum behind a design that reuses the foundation and skeleton of the old building, while expanding functions for current and future requirements. Its presence in a city as dense and as diverse as New York speaks to its multi-layered history as a community hub: the space not only brings together contingents of citizens but it also performs as a sign post to raise awareness for the multi-faceted projects which are housed there. The new building will engage its surroundings through an open ground floor. The stairwells will enlarge the communal atrium, and the balconies, which double as fire stairs, will allow interactions with the streets of the city.
