During this freshman studio, we were introduced to analyzing local business districts using Geographic Information Systems. Pairs of students were assigned one local business district to study. The quarter-long project consisted of four parts: physical analysis, social analysis, historical analysis, and design intervention. In the process, students developed skills in design software such as Adobe Illustrator, ON Photoshop,RAutoCAD, and Google A L Sketchup. D

Social/Historical Analysis This part of the Neighborhood Business District project analyzed the social and historical background of the neighborhood. Various maps and infographics demonstrate how the Hartwell Business District has changed over time. This helped us get an understanding as to where development has occured in the past and where new development is needed.

A2 Design Intervention Hartwell Park Cincinnati, OH
After going through physical, social and historical analyses of the Hartwell Business District, students needed to come up with a design project that would both cater to the neighborhood’s needs and work to solve some of the neighborhood’s problems. What we came up with was a new public park that would help revitalize the area and give people a reason to get out of their cars in this not so pedestrian-friendly neighborhood. Skills Utilized: Google Sketchup AutoCAD Photoshop
Design Intervention: Hartwell Park
A3 Site Planning Studio Mount Airy Forest Cincinnati, OH
The purpose of this sophomore site planning studio was to learn how to create site planning projects that function well with surrounding neighborhoods, utilized land well, worked efficiently with terrain and the natural environment, and utilized existing infrastructure. The final design of our site plan was based on a series of analyses conducted over the course of the semester. Skills Utilized: ArcGIS Illustrator Photoshop Google Sketchup AutoCAD

A3 Context Analysis Mount Airy Forest Cincinnati, OH
In order to understand how our site plan was going to work with the surrounding neighborhood, we needed to do an analysis of certain variables in the surrounding neighborhood. Our maps of land use and zoning showed us what kinds of development are surrounding our site, and our bus, road, and sidewalk maps showed us how we could connect our development to the surrounding area. Skills Utilized: ArcGIS
Mount Airy Forest: Context Analysis
A3 Site Analysis Mount Airy Forest Cincinnati, OH
The site analysis helped us get an understanding about what the natural environment is like in Mount Airy Forest. We created this map and the other corresponding sections for this purpose. These graphics show that Mount Airy Forest is certainly a difficult area to consider for development given the harsh topography. Skills Utilized: ArcGIS
Topography Map
Mount Airy Forest: Site Analysis Elevation Sections
A3 Site Analysis Mount Airy Forest Cincinnati, OH
These graphics are an expansion of the topography map and sections on the previous pages. Specifically, we used the topography maps to analyze underground drainage, slope, potential landslide risk, shadows, and wind direction. We used these maps to get a further understanding of the area that we were working with and to narrow down a possible site selection. Skills Utilized: ArcGIS Photoshop
Mount Airy Forest: Site Analysis
A3 Suitability Analysis Mount Airy Forest Cincinnati, OH
We analyzed several variables during this suitability analysis to get a sense of where the best site for development was located within Mount Airy Forest. Individually, we analyzed slope & landslide risk, soil types, drainage, and existing infrastructure. The center map show where the best sites were located after overlaying the four smaller maps. Green shows the most well-suited areas, and red shows the worst. Skills Utilized: ArcGIS Photoshop

A3 Final Site Plan Mount Airy Forest Cincinnati, OH
Several month of analysis resulted in this final site plan for our proposed developmnent in Mount Airy Forest. These graphics show the overhead plan, and the photos that correspond to the map are from case studies that we used to design the feel of the site plan. The Google Sketchup photos show what the heart of the commercial district in this development may look like. Skills Utilized: Photoshop Google Sketchup
