Iconic Concept The project was designed to create an icon for the community of Moscow when entering from the South. With an inspiration from the surrounding hills of the Palouse, Vandal Coliseum attempts to mimic the form of the surrounding area while contrasting with current building forms of the area.
Community Concept The arena creates a new sense of community by offering multiple uses for the city and University of Idaho including Ice Hockey and Basketball, Concerts, Festivals, Receptions, and graduation Commencement. Pedestrian Arterials are located in multiple directions to help connect with downtown, the University, and residential sectors.
A
Renewable Sources The Building utilizes cellular steel as its main source of structure to minimize the amount of steel used. Kalwall is used on the Southern faรงade and roof for its high R value. On the southern end of the hilled roof, arrays of photovoltaic panels are placed along with a water collection system on the bottom of the hilled roof. The roof drains into planters and cisterns to utilize water for landscaping and to be re-used by the Ice arena.

The Issues Lack of Safety, Accessibility, Amenities, Universal Design, Diversity, Environmental Friendly Design, & Maintenance.
Design Solution We chose to provide multiple housing types with mixed income and use to offer more diverse options. The orientation of buildings is directed to face one another to emphasize safety for residence and shop owners. There are rough pavers to remind the motor vehicles that this is a pedestrian oriented area. There are new amenities to cater to the community and bring outsiders to the community. All amenities are located within a 10 minute walk. With the parks and green roofs, there is 63% more open space that is accessible to the community. The design offers many complex arteries dealing with the context of the urban cityscape. The site is similar to an analysis of a heart. The entertainment area to the south acts as the heart of the community and has main and minor arteries leading to it. There are even arterial to incorporate universal design to allow everyone to access throughout the steep topography. The entirety of the project is summarized as a network of style, meaning, place and community. As a whole, the network is a patchwork of people and place and the interaction between both. It is an environment where people can live, work and play. Most importantly, it is a place of community.

Ethos Concept Throughout our designs, we chose to express our interpretation of Moscow’s fundamental character or values. We continued onto the restaurant area of 6th street with the Seafood restaurant to give a type of food that is lacking in the area. We added Almon Through Park to beautify an already highly traveled path. We remodeled a failing internal atmosphere of the Daily News Building while making space for a company called Terra Graphics. We created Townhome living for a new type of housing in the area. And finally, we added to the community aspect that Moscow already has with a Communal Kitchen with residential above.
1
Economy Concept We anticipated the restaurant to do well in the economy because of it being a new type of restaurant in the area. Residential will be affordable and quickly sought after for the location between the University of Idaho and Downtown Moscow. As the world moves to a more paperless lifestyle, the Daily Newspaper Company has less of a need for their entire building. We designed a condensed space for them and offered additional space for Terra Graphics, a local environmental engineering and design company, which is thriving in the current economy.
Environment Concept Throughout all of our design strategies, we chose utilize Sustainable design. These are evident in green roofs, increased vegetation throughout the corridor, ventilation, and daylighting, among others.

Problem The Current Daily News building was dark and stuffy inside. Employees said there was a lack of daylighting and proper ventilation. The Daily News Paper Company only needs 1/3 of what they currently have for employees. There is a lack of space for Terra Graphics Environmental Engineering and Design at their current space. The Jackson Street faรงade is aesthetically Dis-pleasing and not engaging to the pedestrian.
Design Solution We incorporated a curtain wall on the eastern faรงade and another on the interior corridor atrium. This allows large amounts of daylighting to engage with the users. There are also 2 atriums that allow additional daylighting in the Daily News and Terra Graphics spaces of the building. These atriums are also equipped with operable windows to allow adequate cross ventilation and a stack effect. We provided Terra Graphics with a programmed space to fit their operating needs. There is an intensive green roof to for gathering with spaces for leisure. There are also better landscaped features on the east of the building to help engage with pedestrians on Jackson St.

Project Background The University of Idaho currently owns a site in Sandpoint, Idaho and is considering making a satellite campus there. They asked us to come up with design strategies for temporary student housing on the site that could accommodate the first wave of students. These students are believed to be Graduate Agricultural and Biology students.
Project Design We chose to make a very flexible design and base it around the use of Structurally Insulated Panels (SIPS). The SIPS are also very affordable and can have a very high R-Value. These panels could be used for the campus and as it grew, they could then be de-assembled and moved to another location. To achieve Net-zero, we used SIPS for the entirety of the structures. The units are clustered in threes to feed off of each other’s thermal gain. They are oriented to the south to maximize thermal exposure. We evaluated our small, 400 Sqft. Or less units, through HEED Analysis to ensure we could achieve Net-Zero.

Team Theory This project called for a renewal of the Monroe St. corridor. Our group decided to start with nodes that were strategically decided based on the level of foci. We wanted to switch the orientation from the car to the pedestrian. We achieved this by incorporating New Urbanism techniques.
Live/Work/Play Monroe Plaza was created to cater to all of the needs of this community. The plaza offers a unique space for all ages. For children, there is space for play at the nucleus of the plaza. It is offered through a dry fountain which can be turned off to offer space for live music and events. There are public green roofs that give nature back to the community. They are also a good source rain runoff. The buildings in this area offer very unique spaces for the public as well. The building between Shannon and Northwest Blvd offers ramped space for display and a unique walk overseeing the park and plaza.

Through this design, Node 2 offers slower speeds at crosswalks. There are elevated crosswalks and stamped concrete pavers to ensure vehicles slow down. The design includes increased beautification to offer enjoyment as users walk. There is increased vegetation throughout, pocket parks, interactive roofs, space for leisure, and a ramped walk to engage with above shops and restaurants. There is safety with increased lighting, bollards, and community orientation towards one another. There is only a 5 minute walk to basic amenities or public transportation within the node.
Genius Loci Early on, we determined there was a lack of a sense of place. Throughout our revitalization of the Monroe corridor, we have strived to create genius loci or a spirit of the place by giving opportunity for community gathering. With these opportunities, we hope for it to be the activation the community needs. 4 3 Dry Fountain View East 4 Ramp Walk View South
