The design expands on the civic role of the post office to facilitate various forms of exchange. Through the keeping, peeling, and superimposing of basic architectural elements in the existing post office building designed by Kevin Roche in Columbus, Indiana, the new space becomes a hub for intercultural displays of resilience. Tables, walls, grounds, and sinks simultaneously accommodate both the mundane tasks of a post office visit and the unplanned programs during times of crisis. The result is an architecture composed of localized moments that come together and reinforce the collective identity of the space and its users.
