Here is where private should start blend with public. There is a layer of semi – public and another layer for public. The first one is actually “public” for the people who live in the specific tower. This layer can host community centers or the gardens where these people work on. Since there is always the feeling of protecting your “own” area that is why these areas have to serve them and only them. On the other hand, as we go further from the building we can find the public interventions which can be the NYCHA programs. These programs, within a big variety, can be art classes, educational programs or agricultural activities. At these places anyone can go, having like that a revitalized site with people interacting instead of a mute area with parking lots and fences.
A community center can be the place where people should do their meetings for the local issues and their 8 hour minimum service at the center. In addition it can be a place where people can read, rest or talk.
Art classes are one of the most popular activities within the NYCHA programs. The problem though is that sometimes the site lacks enough space or infrastructure for these programs.
