richmond local arts museum; urban identity: recognition through transformation

Abstract

the richmond local arts museum is a vehicle to investigate a thesis concentrated on correcting the identity of a place that is lost in history. an intentional interruption to the â historicâ context of richmond will transform the city. richmondâ s connection to the civil war will soon be diluted, as it will quickly gain recognition for its progressive actions, through the emergence of a new art and architecture.
