Interviews

- Most of the people said Yes to church

- Some said either “ I don’t mind “ , or indirect “ No “

Studio

Building a 3 story church with a garden on the top floor and playground on second floor

Bring people together of different ages

My church in 8th Avenue Brooklyn

How it helps the community there and why I think it would benefit my site too

Counter arguments

Might create religious conflict

People will think church means “ restriction “

Conclusion

Church will engage more interactions with people

Will love their neighborhood more and take care of it

Will engage in more community services

Engage more with each other and care for each other
