Overview (Narrative Excerpt from Original Project Submission):

The STAGE is a mixed-use community in the North Charleston. Currently, the site faces the issues of segregated community and the flooding risk, while it also experiences the potential of economic development. Therefore, our proposal aims to build the site as a ‘STAGE’ to exhibit the local culture, to stimulate the economy, and to enhance the flooding resilience. The STAGE is designed on the basis of four pillars: equity, economic boost, resilience, and connectivity. We utilize existing configurations and form following a horizontal configuration at the waterfront to allow great access from the main street, Beat Parade into the waterfront. Our vision is setting North Charleston as a STAGE to exhibit its vitality, resilience, and culture.
