description: Re:imagining Public assets discover the issues that American cities confront in social segregation and civic engagement. The lack of connectivity between public space and community in American cities makes people feel unsafe, segregated, and lose the common sense of belonging and ownership. Such feelings when materialized in space, have the power to raise an awareness of issues and narratives that have been carried through history of American cities. The public realm of the United States is full of inequality to public space access. The thesis starts exploring some architectural precedents that successfully approach civic engagement and interact with the community in both architecture and urban scale. A set of interventions for the existing public assets in Nubian square that could be connecting and engaging with the community visually and physically to promote civic engagement. Reveal, expose, aggregate, connect, and engage are a set of criteria that start to develop in testing how existing public assets could approach people’s needs.
