How might we both challenge and accommodate for a range of cultural and economic experiences through interventive design of community space, in spite of class disparity in Lenox Hill?
The location of my design intervention is 1313 York Ave, situated in the middle of three different brands of hospital (view site model). 
My design intervention is a VR dome, that is seen as a hemisphere on ground surface. The entrance is accessible with an underground stairway, it will lead to the inside of the dome to view the VR 3D experience. The diameter of the dome is 24 feet, so when standing on the inside of the dome, the highest part of the dome will be 18 feet. If the user is standing in the middle, then there will be 12 feet of space on each side of them (view site plan and dome graphic). I want it to be this size because it will be the fullest immersive experience it could be. To scale, the final model of the dome is 8 inches in diameter, so the scale is ⅓ inch. It is made out of 20 gauge copper wire to show the reflective and aesthetic quality of the dome. 
An example of the inside projections of the dome are visually displayed by the 3D hologram I made. The trapezoid shape was made out of polycarbonate, and I made the hologram video in Adobe Premiere.
The dome construction infrastructure will be in geodesic form (see moodboard). This structure will be made of Multi Color Metal Sheet, that will be die-cut into connecting rods. This material is UV/water/wear resistant, is meant for outdoor use, and has sound reflecting acoustics. The covering of the metal on the outside and inside of the dome will be Transhield Shrinkable Fabric, a lightweight stretchable film that is meant for outdoor use, that is highly water, wear, stain, and tear resistant. The outside of the dome will have a spotted layer of covering of Lunabrite New Neon Illuminating Resin, specifically the blue color because it symbolizes security and stability. It is photoluminescent, so in the nighttime the dome will glow, this adds both a playful element and a symbol of hope in the dark. Lastly, the projection surface for the 3D views of the locations around the world will use Screen Goo, which is a type of acrylic paint that is designed for video projection.
The architectural replicas of the houses from around the world will be from Japan, India, Spain, Nova Scotia, Uganda, and Peru. I chose these specific locations to give a widest range of types of houses around the world, as well as styles.
