Watts In Color

My design philosophy is deeply rooted in my community, cultural heritage, and Neo-futurism. The unification of architecture, hand signs and street art will celebrate valuable insights into architecture that are often neglected, particularly focusing on South Central Los Angeles. These elements often reflect the flavor of Watts. My thesis Watts In Color is not an absence of intention but a deep commitment to letting architecture emerge naturally from its purpose, place, and process. It prioritizes adaptability, material honesty, and user experience over adherence to a visual or historical movement. A physical embodiment of collective aspiration, a hearth where the abstract ideals of togetherness, purpose, and mutual growth take form. It is less a structure of wall and roof, and more a sanctuary for the shared soul of a neighborhood. A place where knowledge is not just transferred but co-created, where wisdom is found not only in books or lectures, but in laughter, disagreement, rhythm, and silence. The community center challenges the illusion of separateness and so, it is not merely a space to gather, but a space to become.
