Aero Grove

Aero Grove is a public cultural center located in a public area in Boston. The design explores how a large-scale structure can humbly integrate into the urban fabric. It aims to create an inviting, active green space while featuring exhibition and immersive experience areas. Its fluid, circular form ensures open access and encourages community use. Incorporating a central courtyard, rooftop paths, and layered facades, the building seamlessly blends into the cityscape and promotes interaction among community members, culture, and technology.

Architecture is a fascinating discipline that encourages intuitive exploration while embracing rational thought. It integrates technological advancements and reflects the evolution of its time. Architecture is a form of expression - an emotional expression. It quietly conveys the architect's sentiments toward the users and the site, while also expressing the building’s own relationship with its surroundings and the city.
