The proposed Friendship Park by the Heartsong Church and Memphis Islamic Center aims to promote interaction and friendship between the two communities. The design uses various connected areas and spaces to encourage interaction throughout the park. By sharing spaces and linking them together, the story of friendship can spread not just in the local community but around the world as intended. Precedent projects using organic, node-based designs help showcase how freeform structures can achieve this goal.

The Friendship Park proposed by The Heartsong Church and
the Memphis Islamic Center will raise the power of interaction
and the growth of friendship. Designing upon the idea of
interaction should include an approriate response that would
represent the intention of building friendships. In every
friendship there is a story to be told. This story in particular
begins by sharing spaces.Building upon the idea of sharing
