Spark is a speculative spatial proposal that reimagines energy infrastructure as a public, participatory system. A multidisciplinary effort with Spark we sought to establish a hub in the Sweet Auburn neighbourhood. The project explores how power generation could become visible, shared, and socially meaningful shaping communal rituals, movement, and place. A collaboration to create an innovative business hub.
Develop a future-facing spatial concept that treats energy as culture—reframing the systems we rely on as civic experiences people can encounter, contribute to, and gather around.
A narrative-led proposal mapping how energy production, public space, and collective participation could intersect—expressed through spatial strategy, concept visuals, and scenario-based storytelling.

Visible Infrastructure
Energy systems are brought into view—legible, navigable, and designed as part of everyday civic life.
Shared Thresholds
Public zones choreograph how people arrive, move, pause, and gather—turning utility into place.
Collective Exchange
The project imagines cultural rituals around contribution, maintenance, and shared benefit.
“Ensuring a foundation for ideas to become a successful reality”
Decades of disinvestment overshadow the vibrant history, culture, and spirit of the neighborhood. Working with Sweet Auburn Works and Savannah College of Art and Design Serve, the group developed an environment that would be the initial Spark to reigniting the Sweet Auburn district into glory again. Noted as one of the richest black streets in history, the innovation label is a location that is about taking back the narrative of the area without impairing or erasing the history of this once-thriving neighborhood. The label will help refocus the retail in the heart of the Sweet Auburn Historic District.
