/JOY THROUGH MUSIIC
EVENT SPACE
/OUR STORY
For decades, Santa Clarita has lacked proper mental care for its inhabitants, implementing mainstream trends and establishments that, although popular, haven't been geared towards the least of the town; the unhoused and low-income that don't have the money to attend LA fitness or Golds Gym. The event space captures the emotional, mental, and physical demand for everyone in Santa Clarita to embrace wellness through entertainment, music, free open space to roam, human interaction and closeness, and away from the suburb that's criminalized them. With the implements of food vendors and community centers, event space creates localized events that embrace new innovation and community. A clean, viable living environment combined with proper resources and essential supplies that represents the cultural identities in this town. Event space will be a series of different themed events in our Canyon Country location that's inclusive to all, features live entertainment and small business food vendors, peaceful meditation, and free accessible outdoor space (for any possible families). Working with the history of Levittown; creating a personal home for the community.

DESIGN
/TOAST
The Santa Clara River is mostly barren and deserted. With the biodiversity of California wildlife slowly receding being replaced by suburban "appealing" plants, and without a community center in SCV, the city is severely lacking in knowledge, and we (collectively as a city) merely litter in the river, and watch day after day as fires ravage our state. Additionally, we have no real sense of community, and live separate in our boxed homes, and don’t interact with the city as a whole, opting to live in isolation.
