The research goal was to look at the West Loop, Chicago, and understand the area to create a smart growth future that is a balance between the community, city and investors. We analyzed the neighborhood through 5 lenses: 1. Infrastructure 2. Transportation 3. Economic Drivers 4. Open Space 5. Community Our goal was to break the neighborhood down to the analytic level of the built environment and the emotional level of why people feel the way they do about their homeplace. We set out to become advocates for the residents of the West Loop while maintaining true authenticity through future development. Our 3 minute video explains how we can grow and sustain through diversity, innovation and preservation.

Proximity Urban Research | Human Scale Gensler//KU Co-op Brown \ Claussen \ Gregory \ Ji \ Kalkman \ Jones
Global population is increasing and people are moving to cities at an exponential rate. The city has responded by introducing a scale of measurement quite different from our own scale. The result has identified the existence of many design deficiencies within our environment. If even more people are moving into the city as predicted, what does that do to the human scale of the city? Six interns split up over four cities to study the Human Scale of cities starting with behavior studies and public space analysis. By using our cities as case studies we were able to develop a tool to look at the physical and cultural state of a neighborhood and compare it against an averaged baseline, ultimately resulting in a method to analyze deficiencies in amenities and public spaces. Our goal was not to design, but rather to develop a tool to bring the human back to the center of discussion.

Proximity Research
Research Logic and Metrics Humanizing the city starts with understanding what Human needs are. Our research began with looking at Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs as a framework, in which needs are ranked in order of dependency.
The “human scale” measures proximity to basic human necessities, sophisticated urban systems and meaningful places within a universal walking distance of 1.5 mile diameter. A higher quality of life is active, interconnected and authentic on an individual level and as a whole. These innate qualities are the framework used to understand the relationship between physical space and human needs. By bringing health, infrastructure and cultural experiences (HIC) closer to the human, the city becomes a place that supports the journey towards a higher quality of life; subsequently redefining the scale of the city.
If the basic human needs are supported by the built environment on a level of proximity, then humans have a greater certainty to a higher quality of life; a quality of life that allows activity, interconnectivity and authenticity to flourish so that humans can genuinely experience a sense of wonder, a sense of place and a sense of discovery in their city.
There are cities around the world that are we define as successful in terms of Quality of Life. The top 3 according to Monocle’s 2014 Survey (Tokyo, Melbourne & Copenhagen) are measured from two origin points within each city. The average number of amenities occurring within the designated radius is used, resulting in what becomes the “baseline”. Referencing this baseline within the terms of the humanization triangle, one can identify the amenity to density ratio of a given origin point, in relationship to the baseline.
The research compared this baseline proximity with the amenity to density ratio, or amenity per resident, in reference to two origin points in Chicago, Denver, Houston, and Los Angeles. First, the downtown, and second, the most densely populated location.
After the mapping exercise, this study concluded that the proper density is about finding a balance of amenity types. The resulting graphic communication tool has the potential to be used as an urban analysis tool that can be valuable to developers or city planners in the appropriation of amenities in struggling cities, growing cities or future cities.

Marvin Hall Auditorium University of Kansas Campus | Lawrence, Kansas
+ The Auditorium is an addition to Marvin Hall and is located on the University of Kansas, Lawrence campus. Marvin Hall was built in 1909 for the School of Architecture, Design and Urban Planning. The design focuses on harmonizing with the existing historic building though the use of a horizontal, wood-slat wallsystem. A six-foot gap between the auditorium and the existing building acts as both a “solar chimney” and a circulation space, creating beautiful views within Marvin Hall, and celebrating the connection between the old and the new. The concept of a “push and pull system” through the solar chimney allows for the existing windows along the south wall to remain operable and function as originally designed.

Public Interest Design A Vision for Kansas City, Kansas
“The challenge is that we have a small urban community that is in transition. We are in the ‘old’ right now. It is a time for reuse, revision and repurposing. The architecture,streets, education, institutions, people…are all in transition. How do we facilitate the process of transition?” -Steve Curtis, Community Organizer

Studio 608 became involved in exploring how the Riverview Neighborhood Area in Kansas City could change to accommodate population growth, and recondition the old to support the new. At a late-August 2013 meeting at El Central, Steve Curtis stated, “The population has constantly been in transition; from Eastern Europeans, who came for the meat packing industry; to Hispanic and South Eastern Asian immigrants, who came for family, and a new life. How do we facilitate cultural exchanges, support, and create a threshold to being part of the American lifestyle?” There are many community members full of passion for their neighborhoods and focus on improvement. They expressed that while the population has slowly transitioned over time, the physical city has been in a state of decay for the last thirty to forty years. Buildings have aged and become abandoned, properties are poorly maintained, and high percentage of failed businesses has left many commercial spaces vacant. A city resident stated at a town meeting, “there has been no new construction over the last thirty to forty years….we have lost our sense of community”.

Problems in the Community Wyandotte County has developed very poor rankings in many categories. They are last out of 102 Kansas counties in health behaviors; smoking, teen birth rate, obesity, physical activity and social and economic behaviors; violent crime rate, single parent families, low social support, poverty, high school and college education. These dismal statistics logically culminate with a great loss of a meaningful sense of community, and leave the concept and design of the city lost - or at least if not lost, certainly fallen to the lowest priority. Attempts by city officials to repurpose and reuse throughout the city have often ended in vandalism. Restrooms within parks were burned down, landscaping trampled, and urban furniture destroyed. A primary, and potentially substantial, challenge will be choosing a set of programs that brings aid to multiple issues within the area to rebuild a sense of community.

A Transitional Living Program offered to need based residents would alleviate certain core, current issues, with educational and social opportunities. This short-term living arrangement would focus on three need-based groups: new immigrants, single parent families, and young adults, and include shared living spaces and direct access to educational resources. Educational and social opportunities will create a fostered living environment where relationships can grow and the knowledge necessary to succeed can be acquired. This living arrangement would provide opportunities for those in need and potentially build an educated and successful foundation of community members; ideally leading to increased civic contributions. The program would consist of efficient living quarters, resident shared-living spaces (laundry, Community Kitchen, etc.), and a educational community spaces open to the residents of Wyandotte County.

Bethany Tower Apartments
1131 Central Avenue, Kansas City, KS 66102 Central Avenue is an ideal location for the transitional living program because of its access to public transportation and walkable distance to grocery stores, shopping, and parks. Central Avenue would thread the Bethany Tower residents to the city and act as a link through public transportation, biking and walking networks. Population density maps for the county illustrate that the highest density occurs around the Bethany Park area on Central Avenue. Because the primary goal is to provide for and influence the most people possible, the Bethany Tower Apartment building would be a fitting choice for a Transitional Living program. Accessibility is also an important factor. Wyandotte County has the highest percentage of households without a car in the Kansas City metropolitan area (almost 10%). Because many residents in the program will be low income, new to the area, or without a car, accessibility to public transportation and grocery stores is ideal. The apartment tower provides a central location for residents, as well as accessibility for community members to participate in the educational services that are open to everyone.

The number one complaint from current residents is “the kitchen is too small�. By removing the wall separating the kitchen from the living room, and replacing existing materials with more reflectance materials, each apartment floor plan can be open and full of natural light. The final proposal includes converting some of the larger one bedroom apartments into two bedroom units, making the tower more family friendly. This increased the occupancy from 167 to 171, even after replacing the north units as community spaces.

Greenhouse details.
Each apartment will have access to larger balcony spaces from the structure addition. Residents will have private greenhouses that will not only allow them to grow their own food, but also improve the building performance. A greenhouse will give easy access to natural, healthy food and create another educational opportunity. Residents can learn how to garden, compost and cook from classes offered through partnerships or groups formed by tenants. This is extremely important because 14% of the population currently do not have access to healthy food, which is substantially higher than the national average of 1%. Poor access to healthy food is undoubtedly a direct link to the communities higher than average obesity ratings of 38%, compared to the 25% national average.
Summer Solstice

Summer Solstice: The balcony structure addition will act as a light shelf to shield the building from the hot summer sun. Operable windows will control the temperature inside and allow natural ventilation to avoid overheating in the summer. The greenhouse windows will allow the apartment windows to remain fully functional.
Winter Solstice: during the winter months the sun will enter the building at a low angle. With the operable windows on the greenhouses closed, the space will not only allow plants to grow in the winter months, but heat the apartments as well.

Project Name
In an effort to revitalize the economy of the city, this business incubator assists emerging entrepreneurs in launching their businesses in a unique, contemporary spirit. The Lawrence Enterprise Center provides a vibrant ambiance full of energy, yet in a controlled manner that suits the workplace function. The overall design provides furnished office spaces and shared supportive spaces, an event space, and outdoor patios along Massachusetts Street. The design focuses on bringing natural light into the office spaces by offsetting each floor to the north. This offset creates an open circulation space, which opens views for a strong connection to Massachusetts Street and allows for interaction and networking as display cases playfully weave between the bridges. An efficient program layout allows for easy circulation and accessibility. Spaces are stacked based on their importance of views, resulting in an active event space located on the top floor.

Albuquerque Water Museum Filtration on Display for Education
Design Influence
WATER
MUSE
ABQ
The Albuquerque Water Museum is an archive and gallery proposed for Downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico. This archive and gallery will be a history of the city told through the buildings relationship to water and the display galleries. Because New Mexico suffers from water scarcity, it is important to design in a functional way that will educate residents and visitors and encourage water conservation and promote cleaner water. The design speaks to the Spanish heritage of Albuquerque by using the concept of ancient Spanish aqueducts which is to transport and filter water through gravity. The Museum acts as a filtration tower which cleans and provides water to the residents and visitors of Albuquerque in an educational manner. The building structure appears to be a result of the site, as it peels up in sloped layers, allowing water to be pumped up to the top and circulate down through the filtration process located in the galleries. This creates a direct presence and display of water and exposes the functional role in the design. The filtration process is symbolically represented in the facade system, where light concrete panels allow transparently, communicating to the visitors of Downtown.

Central to the design, water will be a vital “natural� resource, essential infrastructure, and dynamic force within the gallery. The display and presence of water within the project will serve a curatorial purpose but also play a functional role in the design. The project maintains a direct physical connection with the site which is in a lowland valley between the Sandia Mountain Range to the East and the Rio Grande to the West. Additionally, water on display as it goes through the filtration process acts as the main gallery feature on every floor. The museum has a clear circulation flow for visitors as they follow the water filtration process from the top, all the way the bottom, ending at the building exit. As a comprehensive studio, the presence, or interference, of the structure and systems to accommodate such a heavy element as water plays an essential role in the design of the project, as well as the structural implications of navigating the site. Precedents ranging from pivot irrigators to waste water management to locks and dams are introduced and analyzed.
