700 Waterway Drive
In order for Waterway Park to “regenerate� and become the social and activity hub that it once was, the entire project including urban farm, food store prototype, as well as film studio, must strive to work together with the community. This park is about the community it servers more than anything else. All three must work to achieve high standards in access, affordability, and quality. Each one of those points have been vital in the design concepts of the new film studio building or 700 Waterway Drive, since it truely doesnt matter what is built on this park, as long as it serves the community first.

Key Research Food Deserts: an urban area in which it is difficult to buy affordable or good-quality fresh food. Food Insecurity: the state of being without reliable access sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food
GMO Foods: Genetically Modified Organism An organism’s genetic compound has been altered using genetic engineering in order to make insect/disease resistant and to produce higher yield Can cause harmful effects of GMOs: Food Allergy, Environmental problem, Decreased Nutritional Value, Antibiotic resistance, etc.

Solution: Food Trailer bring the fresh food to the people
Three main factors in community food development success:
Access, Quality, & Affordability
Ability to reach people who are at higher risk of not eating healthy - Elderly, Disabled , and children Mobility for special events, but based at Waterway Park

Regeneration of Waterway Park A Connective Journey
Connection to the rest of the parks byway of 11th street and Ann Ave. Emphasis on that intersection Easy access flow between the park and the surrounding homes Creating a public plaza Bringing back the “water� to Waterway Eliminating the food desert by creating a public urban farm Extension of playground by adding a soccer field/ futsal courts

When first doing the urban park project, I knew I wanted the next phase of the project, the building, to be situated on the corner of 11th and Ann streets. Waterway Park is centrally located not only by all the other parks we are working on on this project but also for the Riverview neighborhood as a whole. Access played a critical job in all of my conceptual designs. How could cars get to the site safely? How could pedestrians get to the site safely as well? Another overall concept that I wanted to explore was the use of odd and sharp angles because Waterway has such a unqiue shape as well as the corner lot restraints from the curviture of Waterway Drive. I decided to follow the idea that two simple shapes collide in order to create this very angular complex shape. There would be a regular, grid system in the building wings while there would be a clash of the two different regularities in the middle. The building wraps around a central plaza that transistions of off Waterway drive and 11th street. The building becomes the other binding side of the plaza, looking out over the urban farm and the pond of Waterway Park.

1) Massing in the center of building is outlined
2) Center masses lifted to create the floor of the upper level
3) First floor perimeter masses raised, creating space
4) Roof slope connects second to first level ceilings. Slope is directed towards possible entrances. Overhang created above part of the plaza.
