Modernizing the Carport Greenhills, Ohio Academic Work Spring 2019 Design Studio 3 Programs Used: Revit, Rhino, Photoshop, Illustrator My vision for the city of Greenhills is to make the public aware of the residential potential Greenhills has to offer. There is a commercial strip in the center of the city that brings the community together and this is what caused people to move to Greenhills back in the 40s. There were two sites to choose from when presented with this project. A school site, and a commercial strip. I chose to work with the commercial strip because that is the major landmark you see when driving through the town, so the new residences would be seen easily from the road and attract new families.
