Katie Olson | 2023 Graduate | Assistant Professor Dr. Mariana Junqueira
This project is "The Lounge", by Katie Olson, who graduated in 2023. This work was done with Assistant Professor Dr. Mariana Junqueira.
How can the built environment support intergroup contact and prevent urban polarization? The Lounge is a cultural center that celebrates local artists who exemplify the identity of Saint Louis. This design aims to redefine the lasting impacts of redlining practices from a boundary to a beacon of diverse engagement.
