The project is located in an area of Newark between University Heights and downtownʼs Military Park Commons District. This location presents the opportunity to challenge the boundaries between public and private, between city and university. It also presents the possibility of establishing a gateway or iconic identity to the Universities.

 

Symposium is part of a larger project that addresses housing for scholars in two urban conditions: small scale (lot infill), and large scale (block infill). This specific project focuses on the urban condition of lot infill and proposes housing, and gathering spaces for resident scholars. It provides three unit types for the various needs of the occupants, and offers areas of social exchange and interaction.
