32 Prince
Originally built as a synagogue, then transformed into a church, and now a present-day conservancy center for the Newark community, 32 Prince Street, is an iconic site with a rich religious history. The design proposal reflects upon its ecclesiastical history while bridging the exterior and interior environments through a more porous threshold entryway. 32 Prince would function as a culinary school that serves the Newark residents with its community garden and healthy dining options. The southern facade of the building, which has the most optimal sun exposure, is entirely dedicated to a three-story hydroponic garden. Not only would this hydroponic garden meet the pragmatic requirements of the culinary school, but also be fully accessible to the public, thus encouraging a greater sense of community. By reorienting the building’s central axis, a direct relationship between the interior and exterior environments was achieved, while maximizing student and public needs.
