I believe that architectural design should seek to reinforce the major attributes of a given culture, adapting them as necessary to fit present conditions, while maintaining recognition of the original forms. The proposed design attempts to make conscious links and associations that recall the Hispanic heritage of the Latino inhabitants. When architectural form is inconsistent with the culture of its inhabitants, it becomes alienating. This alienation has the potential to affect the relationships among its inhabitants and could even challenge the collective social structure. The goals which I would like to achieve in the architectural design are the following: -- promote continuity of Latino culture by preserving the indigenous values, orientations, and ways of life of the Latino community; -- give the Latinos greater control over the decisions that affect their lives and reduce the control of external forces over Latino institutions, services, and people; -- promote cultural pluralism in which all cultural groups (Latinos , blacks, whites, and Cape Verdeans) can live and work as equals, sharing information, resources, ideas, and experiences.
