Jonestown, Texas is a small town along highway 1431 in the Texas hill country. Civic Identity is a project that incorporates a city hall, library, dance hall, cafe, and boutique hotel into a landmark for the town. The design highlights public amenities by arranging the public programs around a large formal plaza visible from 1431. This formal plaza is contrasted with an informal plaza behind the main building which bridges the more public elements of the program to the hotel. The project explores how to create a formal civic identity that still responds to a variety of programmatic needs with individualized spatial conditions.
