All cities develop a personality. People and city engage back and forth in dialogue, each day imprinting upon the other. Cities allow inhabitants a sense of belonging when they have their own characters--it is not possible for someone to feel or see themselves in the city when they cannot communicate with it. The physical state of the dialogue forms the memory.

Creating public spaces that cause social intersections enables a city's identity. These encounters make memories of a city.

The building site is located on the intersection of two main axis. One axis--Dauphin Street--is Mobile's commercial life. The other one faces a church used as an activity area. The building site's corner acts as an important social threshold between building and city.

Public space, urban fabric and environmental awareness are main purposes that create concepts to enable design.Interactive common spaces, organic elements, and spaces integrated within the city are concepts that enrich a city's identity and inform design choices.

A common element for a facade is like a living organism, converting other functions according to requirements. On the building's borders, the facade acts as street furniture, inviting passersby to the building. The other invitation element is that the public corner has a bookshop/reading space and a coffeeshop/resting space in the entrance of building. Thus residents and non-residents alike can encounter a part of the city's personality and create social moments. 

Components of three main purposes and their integrations in itself reproduced new concepts. Then these concepts provided a basis of design.
