City Hall
University of Michigan
Professor: Julia McMorrough

Lasting government can only be accomplished through trust. Today the government's city hall has failed in its architectural representation. Today the city hall is a glorified office building that does not have meaningful interaction with the public. This design is discussing the office-like city hall program in relation to other civic amenities the architecture can provide. The building is wrapped in a homogeneous punctured band that contains a myriad of engaging programs contouring a central public court. The city hall program adjacent to a recreation center, a public archive, a food pantry, and a separate council hall, all within a monolithic exterior.
