FABRIC Tucson FABRIC is the incubator of fashion for Arizona. They are very valuable to the communities that host them. However, what makes FABRIC succeed is the knowledge of the designers that reside within the walls. How do these designers benefit in gaining knowledge? Well, interacting with other mindsets. Now FABRIC takes another home in the Barrio Libre. This barrio is in desperate need of a resurgence. FABRIC’s new home can help resurge the barrio. However, allowing interactions to dominate the new project is key. Knowledge is power, for designers, FABRIC, and the Barrio Libre. This project is successful with the adaptability of spaces at FABRIC TUCSON. Allowing the barrio to enter and view with transparency makes them want to be engaged in FABRIC. FABRIC teaches the skills that are valuable to the barrio. Allowing head on exchanges, community exchanges, and professional exchanges make this a win for all sides. Flexing spaces is a key to allowing several scales of exchanges which enrich knowledge.

Timber In the City Competition People are tired of living and experiencing nothing but grey sites, and brown fields. Its unhealthy to see such sites dominate areas such as Queens, New York. Well, the Outdoor at Queensborough is a cure. A community friendly residential complex that emphasizes the idea of green around you. This is a center for the community to come and enjoy life. The project has an educational development center for the youth around. Go outside and experience the green all around. An idea that will spark a new way of building in Queens.

Phoenix One- Jackson Garage Reuse ASU begins its commitment to help communities thrive especially those that are economically challenged. ASU’s new Research Facility will provide true experience with head on social issues while providing community service. Through a strong interaction between struggling communities and Student researchers, real solutions become a reality.

Economically Challenged- Without Dwelling Observation-

Economically Challenged- How the society feels-

Heavy concentrations of people without homes around the project site. Historically such area was home for such individuals, until Maricopa County Government pushed them out. Abandoned by society essentially, the epidemic of dwelless people will persist.

Throughout abservations and quick interviews, it was apparent that existing communities have little to no care for economically challenged individuals. However, only the arts district responded with the believe that designers and the next young professionals can tackle this problem. 13

Firestation 62 Situated on the South Mountain Park Preserve, site 62 poses a challenge to potential design. The topography of the site is wild at times, when a rise in the ground can become a steep slope down. The concerns of the nearby community included disturbing the natural environment. With several animals such coyotes, deer, jackrabbits using the area as their home, the project needed to coexist. So the firestation became one that did little to no disturbance to the existing natural ecosystem. Nature could roam freely and even inhabit in terms of facades. So a firestation that coexisted with nature and gave fire fighters a piece of the preserve was born.

Post Industrial Brown Fields

Revitalize Post Industrial (Ecopark today) Accessible to only a few due to enclosure by new development

Project Site

Why Revitalize? Post Industrial Sites can be hazardous but capable of regenerating Many of the current sites were redeveloped to create projects ( Residential, Commercial) that excluded a vast part of the community, which created inequality that is present throughout the area Sites that aren’t redevelop just cost taxpayer money and health problems to the community Why not Revitalize to include the benefit to a community (Greenspaces, Urban Farming) and bring much needed help (markets) permanently, instead of letting land waste away? Land can become valuable to the community and also economically if revitalize correctly

Post Industrial Existing Market- Mega Tianguis (Sat-Sun) Centralized Location Regreening Strategy

Project Phases

Phase 1: Removal of existiing concrete foundations only leaving 4 marked footing areas for reuse foundation of new buildings, limited to the defined boundaries of site plan. Markets can exist on 4 marked footing areas.

Urban Farming Intervention Healing Soil Area

Phase 2: Removing soil that is toxic to project urban farming area placing new soil inside protected future urban farming area. To allow for immediate farming It wil be isolated by steel underground barrier. Existing trees in project area replanted to designated areas. Homes can begin construction as healing soil begins.

Permitted to Sell Current Restriction

Phase 3: Soil has healed enough to replant trees on space designated. Grass can now be grown, and the soccer field can now be grown and housing should near completion. Markets can operate under on platforms and marked pathways . Trees are replanted to designated area

Phase 4: Trees are left in space and allow for for the growing of grass. After grass grows shades can be constructed. Residents can move in. Homes are connected to the city’s infrastructure. Markets can occupy the site fully. Their success will determine if new expansion occurs. Repeat phase 1 for expansion. Maintain grass by watering

Proposed Conditions after phases are completed

Proposed Greenscape after Phase 3

Proposed Permenance of Market

Proposed soil that has been healed after Phase 2 Concrete ground foundations removed and steel construction material removed

Proposed Urban Farming on Actual Ground Soil after Phase 1

Existing foundations, reused for new buildings

S A

Soil that can produce crops: Preferably mixture with at least 40% Andisoils Healed Soils: With proper mixture can produce grass or be used for fertile purposes

Steel barrier to prevent infiltration of toxicsoils

Healing Soils: Clay based, Lake Remenant Base, still has toxicity

The Effect

Project could expand based on the success of localized economy The market and urban farming add stability for residents and community. Affordablility for everyday needs and the ability to grow financially, better as the word hits the city and shoppers increase.
