WICKER PARK OVERVIEW The Chicago Wicker park Bloomingdale trail is an asset to the corner site providing more than two frontages and a dead end street which is Wimont Ave. The program consisted of one hundred and forty square feet including a grocery story, health club,parking garage and residential area. I sought to create a flexible and dynamic project to positively impact the neighborhood. Based on research and visits to the site one side of the neighborhood, to the south of Milwaukee Ave, is more commercial and noisy therefore. however the upper part along leaving and north of the trail feels more quite and is filled with residentail buildings.

MOBILE LIBRARY

LEARNING FOR ALL As new technology is introduced, the way we perform things also changes. During the twenthy first century a new trend aceessing literature devices have rapidly replaced, for the most part, hard copy editions. One benefit, among others, is the flexibility this has created towards facilitating the learning for communities who lack the resouces.

The boundless mobile library is designed to perform with an integrated deployable structure element to mazimize and provide a pleasant interesting learning ground.

DESIGNING FOR DISASTER

NATURAL DISASTERS OVERVIEW

VULNERABLE AREAS By looking at the data maps, one realizes that most of the natural disasters occur in the tropics between 23˚ N and 23˚S. Whether it’s the faults of earthquakes or floods, it is located in that specific band.

This area also has the highest population density in comparison to other parts of the globe with an estimate of 60-65% the total globe population. Therefore in order to mitigate the effects of future natural disasters, we’re looking to respond specifically to that area.
