Interactive Facade


This year Better Block KC took place at the intersection of 19th and Main St. in the Crossroads District. The collaboration between individuals and local organizations resulted in a successful transformation of a city block. KCDC’s contribution included a design/build project that acted as a temporary facade for the marketplace at the northeast corner of the site.

INTERACTION DIAGRAM The transparent nature of the vertical pallets allowed varying degrees of visibility into the marketplace. Three countertops bridged the existing fence, eliminating this edge as a barrier and promoting interaction between pedestrians walking along Main St. and vendors inside the marketplace.

MATERIALS: PALLETS

12 Interactive Facade

Built using pallets and other recycled lumber, the structure stood as an example of environmentally conscious design. A seating configuration at the northern edge created a transition from the facade to a main entry point for the market. After the sun set, florescent lights running horizontally along the top and bottom edges of the pallets illuminated the sidewalk along Main St. and drew even more people to the site. People paused from the excitement of First Fridays to sit along the stacked pallets and enjoy the pedestrian oriented streetscape.

New Orleans Culinary Incubator Mid City, New Orleans, Louisiana (NOLA)

The New Orleans Culinary Incubator Lab (NOCI-lab) a place for the exploration of new ideas, experimentation, and the creation of forward-thinking solutions for food production and city life. It is imagined as a foundation supported organization associated with the New Orleans Mid-City community, drawing upon neighborhood participants and institutional partners. An extended mission of the culinary incubator is to cultivate entrepreneurs while they formalize and grow food businesses, providing space at low cost in a commercial kitchen, specific technical assistance to industry and

16 Culinary Incubator

access to opportunities to sell their food products. Its vision is that participants will become economically self-sufficient and contribute to the economy by doing what they love to do. These programs will build upon local urban agricultural initiatives and sustainable programs providing a holistic approach to achieve real change in the community’s access to healthy food. This culinary lab will strive to meet basic food needs and, at the same time, foster opportunities for community members to build mutual support networks, connect to resources and find their voices on the underlying causes of hunger and poverty.

PROJECT INTENT Physical space sets the baseline for the cultivation of a collaborative environment. Community is the result of the RELATE-ionships developed in this physical space. This network of relationships will lead to progressive change by breaking down barriers to understanding social issues. The New Orleans Culinary Incubator-Lab (NOCI-Lab) is a place to CULTIVATE innovative ideas regarding the factors that contribute to a REVIVal of a previously healthy and vibrant COMMUNITY, Mid-City.

18 Culinary Incubator

New Orleans has a unique history of Public Markets and changing food geography, yet the current food system has become so industrialized that many members of the New Orleans community do not know the original source of their food. We aim to re-establish that connection RELATIONSHIP with food, and to bridge the ever widening gap between consumer and produce. The NOCI-Lab will strive to REVIVE the regional food structure and to ensure access to fresh, healthy groceries while CULTIVATING supporting the local economy and promoting environmental sustainability.

Broad Street is home to roughly 110 varied businesses, which provide goods and services to the neighborhoods immediately surrounding the commercial corridor, as well as the region. The thoroughfare has been quickly rebuilding itself since Hurricane Katrina, but given its physical nature – blighted property and wide avenues for vehicular traffic – it is difficult to build a strong sense of community along the corridor. Each day, hundreds of business owners, employees, customers, and other users come to Broad Street, but fail to interact with one another.


Southeast Facade, Roof Parking Lot

Northwest Facade

Built in 1964, the former Schwegman’s was designed by New Orleans architect Albert C. Ledner. This is one of his many Regional Modernism buildings, and has become an important landmark in the community. The name was later changed to Robert’s Fresh Market at 300 North Broad Street, but has ceased operation and been sitting vacant since Hurricane Katrina. The site flooded with up to 4 ft. of water. The building is 59,000 GSF. The entire lot is approximately 3.26 acres and includes 150 parking spots. The roof has been designed as a parking lot.

KU feildstation home for universal design

The design a master plan for three separate, but integrated universal eco‐houses (ecologically sensitive houses designed based on universal design principles) at the Kansas University Field Station (KUFS). Each house would accommodate one of the following “types” of tenants: caretaker(s), researcher(s), docent or “helpers”, or a visiting KU guest. In addition to the master plan, a design for one of the three universal eco‐houses was completed. This house will be used primarily by a caretaker, who may have a spouse or partner, and perhaps children. However, in the absence of a caretaker the house could accommodate three graduate students working on the field station, or a resident researcher and his/her family. Alternately, the house could be used as a university guesthouse for a visiting faculty for a year or so. Or, it could house a docent – perhaps someone retired (who might have a partner) who would live on the area and help with programs, events, or other aspects.

36 KU Feildstation

Therefore, the design of the precinct and the house provided an appropriate level of flexibility, territoriality, privacy, security, dignity, access, and social participation for these users – young or old – in a way that interfaces nature and technology in the most favorable terms. The architecture of the precinct is to be an ‘icon’ promoting the image of the Field Station for it’s science-based stewardship of natural resources.
