ALBANY PARK - COMMUNITY CENTER

Inspired by the Global Garden Refugee Training Farm, this community space embodies the interconnectedness and mutual support inherent in the intricate networks of root systems and mycelium found in nature. Here, we draw inspiration from the organic relationships that bind different species of plants and trees, creating a living metaphor for unity and collaboration. Just as in a forest ecosystem, each member of our community is connected through unseen channels, sharing nutrients, information, and support.

Our vision goes beyond the physical space; it’s a conceptual framework that celebrates the beauty and complexity of human connection. By embracing the principles of cooperation and reciprocity found in nature, we cultivate a community where compassion and collaboration are the cornerstones of our collective journey towards a more harmonious existence.
