You will notice at Fifth City Commons that there are 3 distinct brick patterns at the west and east elevations. These three “Adinkra Symbols” were selected by a committee of community members whose input was very valuable in the final concept of this project. The information in this document includes more information and includes excerpts from “Wisdom Without Words: Adinkra Symbols: The Modern Guide by Nakia Duncan” which explains the concept of the Adinkra Symbol, and the meaning of the three patterns.
