Primary and Secondary Markets New Orleans is a very special place, rich in culture and history. It is also a city that has been ravaged six years ago by Hurricane Katrina-from which the city is still recovering. Our studio project is to examine New Orleans and our site at a variety of scales and to then use or findings to inform the nature and purpose of our projects. The project seeks to combine food access, education, and the fabric of complex urban communities with the discipline of design. The area surrounding the site is characterized by low income and in many cases single parent homes. Since Katrina these lives of many in this neighborhood have been both improved due to rebuilding opportunities and destroyed by the destruction in the wake of the hurricane. Many of the grocery stores in this area as well as many others are gone. Through a rethinking of not only the problem of access to fresh food, opportunities for education and the incorporation of and exposure to design this project seeks to inject a community oriented complex on to a previous unoccupied parking lot. Its design inspiration and passive systems are all derived from the culture and typology of New Orleans. *This is a reflection of my progress thus far. 6

Primary and secondary market analysis is both informative and significant for a project such as this because it confirms two things. It demonstrates that our site is indeed far from the nearest grocery and it adds geographic boundaries to the primary users of the project and even the less prevalent but important secondary market areas. These would be customers and community that are within a certain range according to the FDA but might have other options closer by to meet grocery needs. This analysis gives both hard data to the problem and bolsters the solution-inserting a grocery store on our site.

Our site is uniquely positioned between four different districts Bayou St. John, Treme, Mid-City and Tulane-Gravier. Despite being part of the TulaneGravier district the site has the unique potential of being at the epicenter of the four districts and stands to take advantage of the unique culture of each of these districts. There is also a project in the works to add a strip of green space along Lafitte street which is strategically placed along what was historically one of the first canals to be constructed in New Orleans. This new corridor has the potential to add greater access for those using other forms of transportation such as pedestrian means or via bicycle. This would place the site at a key place to take advantage of this added means of access. There is the potential for a greater demographic of people to have safe access to the new grocery store.

Historically shotgun style houses and Creole Townhouses have been the vernacular typology of New Orleans. Beyond just the shape of the structures there is an imbedded climatic reasons for their construction. The houses are long and narrow with long overhangs that often times allow for big porches that provide an exterior space for living when the weather is at its hottest. This also presents the opportunity for connections to be formed with neighbors and passers-by. On a larger scale these houses are formed into blocks that are oriented with the short end of the house at the north and south ends of the block and for the middle houses on the east and west ends with their long sides exposed. There is also a courtyard of some shape at the middle of the block. This is all planned in a effort to allow the cool air coming off the Mississippi River to flow through the houses and for some to collect in the courtyard and cool the houses off when the humidity and heat are at its highest.

Denmark has a long history of making excellent furniture. For a country containing 5.5 million people but yet it is common for the average Dane to know have not only a great design sense but also knowledge of the history of the notable Danish furniture designers. It is this tradition and design culture that makes it possible to continue to produce furniture that is both beautiful and new year after year. It was this climate that formed the interest in me to attended a program in Denmark to learn not only about the history of Danish furniture but also to build a piece of furniture that was inspired by the simplicity and craftsmanship that is so notable to Danish furniture. The idea behind the design of this chair was to do a Danish interpretation of the rocking chair. Many of the notable piece of Danish furniture often explore the limits of statics and the effects of the forces generated by the human body on the chair. This chair is a cantilevered rocking chair which means that the metal tubing flexes against the forces of the human body while still maintaining the conventional motion of rocking. The combination is unexpected at first and later very pleasant. As part of this program extensive research was done on existing chairs to measure their proportions and to make conclusions as to their comfort level when compared with the human body. It was this first hand physical analysis that lead to the proportions of this chair. The importance of this method cannot be underlined as the comfort of a chair is one of just three positions in which our bodies exist-sleeping, sitting, and standing Furniture design and construction requires that the end product requires that the end product preform to high standards. To meet these standards it is often required that one to one mock ups be built to test a design idea. There are very few opportunities in design to create something that is functional that can be built at its true scale. Even the process of make drawings at full scale seems rather unique and the process of using them to construct the chair was immensely rewarding. Through the making of a chair one understands the immense breadth of knowledge that is required to be successful and the pieces that have to be meshed together to make something that is both simple and beautiful. Danish furniture designers are the masters of this meshing process.

Our design strategy focuses on the patterns of site use, paths and accessibility to create a semi-custom design made from a kit of parts. We will minimize disturbances to the natural environment by taking advantage of existing site conditions and engaging the pedestrian paths with the site and structures for sustainable and interactive circulation.

Map of the site and the surrounding Crossroads District of Kansas City, Missouri helped to determine the needs of the community as well as the existing support systems in the area. With this data accumulated, program could then be inserted into the project to meet these needs. According to this map there are an absence of grocery stores and green spaces as well as an abundance of restaurants and creative businesses. This ultimately led to the selection of a grocery store, restaurant, a system for urban agriculture and a day care as supplementary program situated underneath loft housing.
