    [NT 15000229]: The assimilation of Japanese-Americans to the American society has changed their ethnic identities and they have become distanced from their ethnic roots. Architecture is a tool to connect people. It plays an important role to invite people, engage them in activities and have them united. This thesis examines how design can provide the community of Japanese-Americans with a place to rediscover their identity and celebrate their cultural heritage, how it can offer general visitors with an opportunity to understand and have a holistic experience of the Japanese culture, and how it can provide a portal to Sakura, an important Japanese cultural icon in Washington DC, and the Monumental Promenade.
