Ⅰ ENHANCING URBAN LIFE BY COMMUNITY ACTION Urban Design Considering Transformational Urban Investments Along The Lower West-Schuylkill River, Philadelphia, PA Collaborative Work (Team of 2) | Instructor: Jae Shin
01 Context The urban design site - Bartram’s choice neighborhoods, situated along the Lower West-Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, is a primarily residential community with a forthcoming healthcare campus emphasizing downstream product manufacturing. The goal of this project is stabilizing neighborhood through job creation and housing stabilization to promote economic development without displacement. It was a 2-person team effort. I focused more on analysis, strategy, and the overall narrative.

04 Problems & Goals Due to the upcoming establishment of a healthcare campus in this neighborhood, an influx of new employees is anticipated, raising concerns about potential displacement. Currently, the local demographic reveals a 15% unemployment rate, primarily attributed to insufficient training and education opportunities. A mere 3% of the workforce is engaged in employment within the immediate neighborhood. Spatially, the area exhibits a high vacancy rate, reflecting a scarcity of job opportunities. Furthermore, the neighborhood lacks mixed-use blocks and features numerous low-quality, unsafe public spaces. This combination of factors underscores the need for comprehensive urban development to address employment, safety, and community well-being. The objective of this project is to foster neighborhood stability by focusing on job creation and housing stabilization, aiming for economic development without causing displacement. Our specific proposal involves the establishment of a Community Land Trust organization. Comprising local residents and landowners, this entity would engage in negotiations with developers to expand opportunities for developing affordable housing and supporting local business ventures. Through the implementation of this strategy, we aspire to enhance the economic landscape of the neighborhood while safeguarding against the adverse effects of displacement.

For the first strategy, on this site, the CLT is responsible for the public space adjacent to the developer’s area, which includes a hea and daycare center. The public realm serves both the health center and the local community, with the developers covering the cos construction and ongoing maintenance for this shared space.
In this scenario, the Green Lane Plaza is designated for use by the health and daycare center, benefiting both these facilities and t local community. This Green Lane serves as a connecting pathway, linking the community, daycare center, and other public spaces the broader site. The plaza is designed to offer a playground and a spacious lawn for children to play, as well as shaded areas an furniture for people to relax and engage in various activities. Our vision for this design is to make it economically and socially acce to the people who reside here. We envision a scenario where a mother living in affordable housing can watch her children playing the playground from her balcony, while the elderly can enjoy fresh air and shade in the afternoon. Additionally, people working in neighborhood can gather in the square to socialize.

In the case of strategy two, the CLT still manages the public space. However, there is a notable difference in the developer’s buildin gram, which now includes retail spaces. Alongside the shared public space, the developer allocates some storefronts to local busi as part of a bonus story exchange arrangement.
In this Scenario, the 49th commercial corridor becomes a significant gathering place, attracting a large number of people to the b This corridor offers various benefits to the community, such as supporting local businesses like a grandma bakery, as well as provi retail and restaurant options. It serves as a versatile space that can host year-round programming, including daily dining, relaxati weekend markets, and holiday events. Additionally, it acts as a connecting pathway, facilitating the linkage between the northern munity, the bio-campus, and the waterfront.

Our third strategy involves the CLT owning the entire block, with the possibility of leasing it to a developer at a reduced price in ret the developer’s commitment to constructing affordable housing on the site.
In the third scenario, a network of pedestrian-friendly and inviting public spaces connects multiple blocks, including those dedica to the community, the bio-tech campus, manufacturing, offices, and retail. Notably, this network establishes a crucial link between station plaza and the waterfront area. The waterfront represents the next phase of development, aiming to connect with the Schu Greenway park system.

Ⅱ PROMOTING TOWNSHIP WELL-BEING THROUGH WATER TREATMENT A Water Treatment System and Educational Trail for for Flood Mitigation and Water Quality Improvement in Coatesville, PA Individual Work | Instructor: Nate Wooten
01 Context & Goal - Why Coatesville Chester County has a very severe flooding problem and accompanying water quality issues. The tributary strategy shown below is one of the solutions to the problems. This design considers two aspects in selecting the tributaries for design. First, the context of each tributary and the water quality. Second, the geographic location and social status of the city in which each tributary is located. The final selection of the sucker run in Coatesville was made for the following reasons: One, Coatesville is in a relatively upstream, easy to hold water location. The income of it is low in Chester County, and there are a lot of industrial heritage, so design in this area can help the city to revitalize. Secondly, the confluence of Sucker Run and Brandywine creek is exactly at the center of city. Its own context is also very rich, which can have a large impact on the city residents. Tributary Strategy
02 Site Analysis & Node Selection When we closely examine the situation, it becomes evident that the Sucker Run and its adjacent community are significantly isolated due to the presence of imposing mountains and a massive industrial complex. Moreover, the area is undergoing a transformation from an agricultural setting to an industrial one. In light of these factors, our primary focus will be on establishing connectivity. Within the entirety of the tributary and trail network, I have identified three specific nodes that will serve as the focal points for my design intervention.
03 Node One - Wetland Corridor
Node on proposa
Firstly, it Addition ing oxyg also ma
ne, situated at the inflow point where water quality is severely compromised, presents a unique opportunity for intervention. My al entails the creation of a wetland corridor that serves a multifaceted purpose.
t will act as a natural filter, effectively removing nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment from the water. nally, this design leverages minimal elevation differences to enhance the water treatment process, while simultaneously increasgen levels and reducing sediment. The audible presence of water in this corridor will not only contribute to its functionality but ake it an engaging educational resource for visitors and locals alike.
04 Node Two - Phytoremediation Park
Node tw nation w corridor
To optim through here to phytore utilized innovati
wo presents a more intricate challenge due to its historical use as an operational site for steel production, resulting in contamiwith heavy metals. Additionally, this location features an existing forest patch that holds the potential to serve as a vital wildlife r.
mize this opportunity, I propose a comprehensive approach involving the expansion and enhancement of the forest patch h reforestation, thereby increasing the potential for a thriving wildlife corridor. Phytoremediation is the key technique employed remediate the contaminated soil. As the industrial activity in the area decreases, more operational sites can be repurposed for emediation and reforestation. This entire process is structured into three distinct phases, and the existing railway infrastructure is to demarcate the site. Consequently, the tree heights vary, creating dynamic spaces that align with proposed swales, adding an ive dimension to the project’s design.
05 Node Three - Floodable Plaza
Node three is strategically positioned just before the confluence, where the Sucker Run transitions into an underground river. Here pose the creation of a floodable plaza with dual purposes. Firstly, it serves as a crucial water retention area, effectively mitigating risks in the vicinity. Secondly, it offers a versatile public space that caters to the needs of local residents, individuals from East Coa ville, and visitors/tourists exploring the Brandywine Greenway. To visualize this concept, I have developed a model that contours t topography of the plaza. During flood events, this design transforms the plaza into a small island, altering the dynamics and activ those present, creating a dynamic and engaging urban space.

Ⅲ EMPOWERING COMMUNITY THROUGH LOCAL HANDS Urban design Aiming at Fostering Economic Empowerment within The Informal Settlements of Kisumu, Kenya Individual Work | Instructor: Thabo Lenneiye, David Gouverneur, Karli Molter
01 Context & Goal The project site is situated in an informal settlement in Kisumu, Kenya, as illustrated in the second satellite map. Currently, the area boasts rich agricultural patches and ecological zones. However, due to the ongoing development of informal residential expansion, there is a distinct possibility that it may transform into a scenario similar to the established informal settlement depicted in the first mapping. This highlights a critical need for effective control measures to prevent the site from evolving into a situation resembling the informal settlement shown in the first map. The primary objectives are twofold: Firstly, safeguarding agricultural and ecological areas by integrating them into wellplanned connectivity structures, facilitating systematic development. Secondly, the aim is to improve living conditions by providing high-quality, cost-effective construction materials for new buildings, utilizing the process to generate employment opportunities and economic empowerment within the community.

02 Initiating the Process: Determining Building Resources Inspired by Alejandro Aravena’s Half a House, a cost-effective housing concept, offering a basic structure that residents can expand and customize based on their evolving needs and resources. The construction materials for new buildings include ecoboard, crafted from agricultural fibers, serving as the roofing material, and dirt bricks for the walls. To facilitate ecoboard production, a decentralized system is established for collecting agricultural fibers at community hubs. These collected fibers are then transported to a centralized factory for the manufacturing process. Concurrently, decentralized brick yards enable dirt brick production. Strategic placement of these hubs considers existing conditions and facilities, ensuring an efficient and locally responsive construction process, aligning with the community’s needs and resources. The concept is translated into a business plan and spatial design, which is shown on this page and the next, and its social impact is also quantified.
