架构师提供的文本描述。交叉广场是城市枯萎病转变为一个充满活力的社区。它不仅是一座建筑的重生，也是整个社区的重生。虽然最初被设想为一个小型新兴艺术组织的家，并计划在几十年内有机地恢复这一结构，但这个项目演变成了一个130万平方英尺的“垂直城市村”。这座建筑植根于历史背景，以共同目标、社会转型和包容性的理念蓬勃发展，在不到一年的时间里就实现了全部入住率。

Text description provided by the architects. Crosstown Concourse is the metamorphosis of urban blight into a vibrant community. It is the rebirth of not just a building, but an entire neighborhood. Though initially conceived as a home for a small start-up arts organization, with plans to organically revive the structure over decades, the project evolved into a 1.3- million-square-foot “vertical urban village.” Rooted in historical context and flourishing on the ideals of common purpose, social transformation, and inclusivity, the building has achieved full occupancy in less than one year.

作为西尔斯配送中心于1927年建成，该建筑发展成为一个主要的经济引擎。然而，到了1983年，它被放弃了，这表明了现代的处置和城市撤资的趋势。经过一个细致和合作的设计过程，重建使大厦重燃生机，并恢复了市民的自豪感。该混合零售，餐馆，健身，健康，教育和专业空间，除了市价住房，工作一致，创造了一个新的社区模式。

Constructed as a Sears Distribution Center in 1927, the building grew into a major economic engine. However, by 1983 it sat abandoned, indicative of the modern trend of disposability and urban disinvestment. Through a meticulous and collaborative design process, the redevelopment has rekindled the building, as well as reinstated a sense of civic pride. The blend of retail, restaurants, fitness, health, educational and professional spaces, in addition to market-rate housing, works in unison to create a new community paradigm.

一系列具有成本意识的架构提取和插入已经产生了一个充满活力的新社区，鼓励发现。充满了建筑历史布局体系的精神，七个新的中庭和相应的街道式走廊，将自然光输送到公共空间。这些重新设想的空间激发了参与和合作，推动了一场挑战可能性的社区运动。

A series of cost conscious architectural extractions and insertions have produced a vibrant new community that encourages discovery. Infused with the spirit of the building’s historic distribution system, seven new atria and their corresponding street-like corridors, transport natural light into public spaces. These reimagined spaces inspire participation and collaboration, catalyzing a community movement that challenges possibility.
