Relieve and, rebirth
After a highly aggressive area occurs, it breeds the grounds for transformation and renewal.
Located in Montreal, Canada, this town is known for its mixed diversity, safe and easy transport, French heritage, accessible schools and malls in the area and, home to the First Nations people of Tiohtià:ke Tribe. The First Nations people have gone through unfathomable amounts of stress, aggressive trauma that has affected them for thousands of years of the conquest by the Europeans on the land which has resulted in generational trauma that still impacts people to this day. A proposal of a universal architectural swimming centre that is universally accessible by ramp access, targeted for all ages as the whole main floor is on one whole ground floor for easy access, a multi-cultural venue, multi-generational family types and ages and swimming levels to the less profanate to professionals swimming center. This place would become through the hardship of the conquest a chance for a new beginning and a chance through physical ritual motion of swimming and the communal benefits to become better off. Regaining that connection with water as a life line and their symbol of sovereignty. And by allowing every race, gender or persons, not just allowing not just the first nations a chance for renewal but, other people and cultures too.
