We already see examples of large private corporations controlling the urban growth of Phoenix. Companies are taking advantage of low land costs for their campuses, safe neighborhoods for employee housing and easy access to airports for executives. The Garfield Neighborhood, experienced a steep decrease in land value due to the contamination by Motorola. It is targeted by a large corporation for redevelopment due to its proximity to significant infrastructure including Phoenixâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sky Harbor Airport.

Nano - Enhanced city of the future

AN INTEGRATED SCENARIO STUDY CENTER FOR NANOTECHNOLOGY IN SOCIETY [ASU]

Alternate Future Scenarios :

1. Will the sun rise in Arizona ? The future of Solar energy and other renewable energy sources 2. Citizens and Cities How community collaboration can address issues and derive solutions. 3. Privatized and Securitized A world under control. What are the implications of surveillance society. 4. Grey Goo revisited the future of citizens ability to manipulate the system and affect the quality of life.

INTRODUCTION TO STUDIO THESIS

The studio aimed to develop a hyper-collaborative environment that embraced multi disciplinary expertise toward establishing a common design objective relative to the urban condition of Phoenix. The following considerations were addressed : Existing and emerging nanotechnologies Climatic responsive Design Urban Adaptation Strategies Social Responsibility Political Policy Material Culture Regulation The study of the socio-political and physical implications of a nano - enhanced urban environment relevant to new strategies for urban adaptation.

[APPLIED RESEARCH COLLABORATIVE STUDIO]

The applied research collaborative studio operated as a multi-disciplinary design laboratory where faculty and students explored integrative design between science, technology and policy relative to the urban condition of the city of Phoenix, AZ. The following considerations were addressed: a) Existing & Emerging Nanotechnologies; b) Climatic Responsive Design; c) Urban Adaptation Strategies; d) Social Responsibility; e) Political Policy; f) Material Culture; g) Regulation. Through the study of socio-political and physical implications of a nano-enhanced urban environment relevant to new strategies for urban adaptation & integration of design thinking with scientific scenario building, the studio derived 4 alternate futures for the city of Phoenix existing in the year 2050.

privatized and securitized Issues of Control

SCENARIO 1: GREY GOO REVISITED Society has responded to urban sustainability problems by allowing people with the ability to manipulate the system to affect the quality of their own life and their community (if they are inclined to do so). There is no systematic public coordination; hackers are free to address any kind of problem in ad-hoc and random ways in specified locations. Whoever has an idea and the chance to manipulate the urban environment does so through distributed networks. This leads to scattered success in some places, as well as failures in other places, in which communities continue to experience stresses on people, economy, and environment.

[group] Scenario: Surveillance Society and its impacts SCENARIO 2: PRIVATIZED & SECURITIZED Society has responded to urban sustainability problems (internally and externally created) by concentrating power in large administrative units that assert control over all aspects of society, technology, and infrastructure. This has led to the containment of threats and has mitigated some of the stresses on people, economy, and environment. Yet, society pays the price for its security through the loss of perceived and real freedoms and civic accomplishments.

Hyper-density of low-rise single family homes in the Garfield neighborhood and similar locations leads to dense developments in low income areas, contrasting with other higher income neighborhoods. Concentrations of similar demographics occurs in certain pats of the city. Increased migration results in technological markers for accountability.

4. Scenario Narrative – Grey goo – revisited A pale ashen sky gave way to streaks of magenta and lilac. The sun’s rays awoke, emanating from behind the Superstition Mountains. L’yan, one of millions of late night revealers, meandered home through Phoenix from the Wednesday night hacker event. L’yan only had a short walk through the early morning dawn to her building. She had spent the night with three friends at their conjoined apartments in a nearby pad. Their small group, along with 10,000,000 fellow hackers, beat the challenge posted on the PATHWAY (Privileged Access - The Hacker WAY) challenge board. L’yan shivered, a cool wisp of air and the feeling of success washing over her. This week’s PATHWAY challenge had been rather simple, but the implications had been important. Researchers in a government laboratory had created the genetic prototype for Grey Goo, a legacy threat, conceived of by science fiction writer Michael Crichton and taken seriously by risk and security experts for decades. This week’s PATHWAY challenge had had a singular mission – create a defense system robust enough to handle a global, simultaneous, outbreak of Grey Goo. The United Nations Security Council, limited by their static budget, had created an interface, called Sedna, accessible for hackers to enter and engage in PATHWAY challenges. Sedna was not just another form of cloud computing, but it was a distant and remote reality, an entire virtual world, within which dangerous and lethal threats could be assessed and initial mitigation efforts tested. Sedna, named after the furthest planet from the sun, was distant enough to be safe and exclusive enough that only the 10,000,000 (plus or minus) PATHWAY hackers could attempt the challenge. L’yan had gained PATHWAY access during her thirteenth year of learning in the online ACADEMIA (Academy for Critically Adaptive trans-Disciplinary Engineering, Mathematics, Informatics, & Arts). She dropped out after that. Who needed a doctorate if you had hacker access to PATHWAY challenges? That was where the money was. Research funds were no longer tied up in the staid, traditional, disciplinary colleges and universities. In Phoenix, akin to many innovation centers around the world, social stratification was not determined by ability, race, gender, or family wealth. Stratification was based on your skills in problem solving and adaptive learning; your power to construction and shape materials; to write and decipher computer code; to hack and reap the rewards. L’yan’s place was posh, compared with ‘squares’ - people that either didn’t spend the time or didn’t have the skills to improve their condition through hacking. She lived on the top floor of an ever growing and changing building. L’yan had to continuously compete to stay on top. Gardens and waterfalls attracted birds, bats, and bees to the mid-air oasis. Phoenix, renewed by the ideals of individual freedom and independent creativity, had amended their building codes to allow the new hacker pads in 2035. Pads, served as the basis of innovation and growth. City leaders saw them as the keys to the Phoenix economy. Today, in 2050, ‘squares’ still live in relics, detached houses, off-pad. They constitute the labor force for the service industries that support the core pads at the urban core of Phoenix. Joseph Gammage, the security guard, smiled and waved as L’yan walked into her building.

3. Scenario Narrative – Privatized and Securitized: A world under control Ja’Qra awoke to the morning rays gently easing their way through the blinds. Rustling leaves filled the air. Her preferred setting ‘desert sunrise’ was programmed into HIS (Home Intelligence & Synchronization) system. HIS system synced every second with the CSMS (Community Security Management) system. Those systems were responsible for Ja’Qra’s residence. The CSM system was in place throughout the valley. It updated the Maricopa Sheriff’s office every two seconds, ensuring - almost real-time security updates to the second. The additional second had saved taxpayers hundreds of millions, after incalculable spending in the wake of The Breach. The Breach was a dark era in Arizona’s history. It occurred in 2023 between March and September and resulted in an estimated four million illegal immigrants streaming through the state’s territory. The federal government, blamed exclusively by local media and politicians, had lost their right to defend Arizona’s border in a landmark Supreme Court reversal, overturning a 2012 ruling. Since the ACT (Arizonian for Citizens’ Transparency), new piece of legislation that came into effect on January 1, 2024, all children were encoded with their social security number embedded in forty discrete codons of nucleotides (using synthetic G-A-C-T sequences) in each child’s genetic sequence. Ja’Qra validated her status as awake and active in HIS system bathroom sink monitoring station. Her routine was soothing. She depressed her hands in a semi-solid gel that filled HIS system bathroom sink monitoring station. It massaged her hands, lightly scrubbed the skin, cleansed the skin and applied a novel daily nail polish pattern. All the while painlessly extracting 10 to 20 died skin cells to verify Ja’Qra’s identity. HIS system reported this activity, as well as every other activity on the premises to the Maricopa Sheriff’s central security office and to Ja’Qra’s personalized healthcare management database per the ACT. The reason to report all activity for security reasons was obvious, no one wanted another Breach. The medical reporting mandates required by the ACT were more complicated. To support and fund a fully integrated and financially solvent personalized medicine program in Arizona required full participation by all residents to build the database of genetic diseases. Full citizen participation also provided the baseline health information from which illnesses could be identified as anomalies and treated in a preventative manner. Ja’Qra couldn’t remember all the reasons for the ACT, but she dutifully reviewed the prescribed daily health reports and consumed the MEAL (Medically Effective And Lovable) for breakfast. Her day had just begun, yet she felt fully prepared for her day at the CAMPUS (Central Academia of Memorization at Phoenix Unity School) and excited for the big football game tonight between her CAMPUS and their rivals – the Scottsdale Business and Engineering Academy.

STUDY AREA - GARFIELD NEIGHBORHOOD, CENTRAL CITY

Garfield Neighborhood is one of the historic neighborhoods of Phoenix. It is located in the Central city Urban Village, immediately east of the Downtown core area and within walking distance from vibrant public spaces such as Mercado Complex, Arizona Center, Civic Plaza and Heritage park. It is also accessible to other important public amenities such as Good Samaritan Hospital, St. Lukes hospital, Edison Park, Margaret T. Hance Park and the new Central Library and a state of the art junior high school Phoenix Preparatory Academy. Having all these amenities around and being geographically located at the heart of the city Garfield Neighborhood has been subject to many issues.

STUDY AREA - ANALYSIS 84

thesis statement privatized and securitized Society has responded to urban sustainability problems (internally and externally created) by concentrating power in large administrative units that assert control over all aspects of society, technology and infrastructure. This has led to the containment of threats and has mitigated some of the stresses on people, economy and environment. Yet, society pays the price for its security through the loss of percieved freedoms, real freedoms, and civic accomplishments.

<< Phoenix Village Planning Commitees establish control centers and protect individual village borders and >> Communities and Neighborhoods establish thresholds and barriers. >> Hard Commercial edges around dense housing fabric accomodating additional population within limits. >> Thresholds and Barriers around Institutional and Public buildings. >> Main Streets become surveillance thresholds.

script privatized and securitized Trailer Four million immigrants breach the Arizona border. The immigrants settle immediately, rapidly densifying neighborhoods of similar cultural and ethnic demographics. If left unregulated, the accelerating population growth will cause extreme stress on the economy, environment, and existing inhabitants. This threat, however, is mitigated and contained by the concentration of power in a central administrative unit that asserts control over all aspects of society, technology and infrastructure. Society pays the price for its new security through the loss of perceived freedoms, real freedoms, and civic accomplishments. Movie The Historic Garfield District, was once a blighted community, with vacant land, abandoned houses, and low density. Between March and September of 2023, 4 million Mexican immigrants breached the Arizona border. These immigrants begin to populate areas with demographics analogous to themselves. Prior to the breach, Hispanic Americans accounted for 80 percent of Garfield residents. This factor allows Garfield to be an ideal district for settlers. Garfield soon transforms into the most dense neighborhood in Arizona. Property owners begin to construct multiple residences per plot increasing low-rise densification by “x” percent. By 2050, “x” new immigrants inhabit the neighborhood. The population growth increases pressure on infrastructure. The state government gains ownership of all systems in order to allocate basic water, power, waste disposal, and communications needs to the people.The distribution of systems is directly proportional to plot size, regardless of plot density. Basic needs, therefore, are not always met in immigrant communities. Regional scarcity, in water and energy, drive improvements in efficiency. Immigrants make do with outdated technologies, such as solar panels and rainwater catchment systems, solely as a means for survival. 91

script privatized and securitized In response to the recent stresses on population, water, energy, waste, and land, transparent monitoring systems are funded by the government and deployed to regulate the movement and distribution of people and resources. Every parcel of land has a smart meter. The meter monitors allocated infrastructure use, ensuring that everyone is using their correct amount. Smart meters are connected visâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Ă â&#x20AC;&#x201C; vis a smart grid to the Community Security Management System, or CSMS. The CSMS not only tracks infrastructure usage, but also tracks human individuals. This is done through the nano identification tags that have been embedded in the body since birth. Employing a security system in every community successfully helps the government to control its population more effectively. The smart grid relays the CSMS information directly to the Central Government Agency, or the CGA. The CGA will also utilize the the smart grid to monitor and regulate information instantaneously in the areas of water, energy, traffic, and healthcare.The people of Phoenix understand the CGA assumes more power and control over society because they are the ones initiating innovations in the areas of security, energy, water, and health. The State constructs high concentrations of infrastructure and amenities locating new buildings along highly secured and centralized boulevards. Although seemingly public infrastructure, these newly densified streetscapes are not allowed to be used by everyone. These areas act as barriers between the affluent Phoenix City Districts and the less affluent immigrant communities. With the CSMS and TSM safeguarding the streets, those who do not have proper identification are restricted from entering. Phoenix has full citizen participation with society completely accepting the new systems of control. Individuals believe that security needs to be the highest priority of the city. By developing and implementing revolutionary monitoring technologies the CGA has guaranteed Phoenix to be safest place to live in the United States. 92

suppositions privatized and securitized Key Terms and Definitions : Supposition – summarizes key components and features of the respective scenario; suppositions directly correspond to the key variables and projections used in the original narrative of the scenarios.

Scenario Variables – describes key components of the design and strategy Scenario Future Projections – describe the future condition of the scenario variable in the year 2050. Urban Design Implications – articulates how suppositions manifest in the urban design proposal. They show us how the suppositions influence the urban form, namely density, infrastructure (e.g., roads, canals, electricity grid), public space (e.g., pedestrian zones, green space, recreational spaces), buildings, aesthetics, accessibility.

Significant population growth (compared to 2013), but stagnant in 2050 (maxed out) Immigrants tend to move into areas with similar demographics. Likewise non-immigrants tend to protect their existing communities and secure more land in the exoburbs (i.e.. white flight continues).

Development becomes dense in low income areas, contrasting with other higher income neighborhoods. There will concentrations of similar demographics. Increased migration resulted in technological markers for accountability.

Creates opportunties for the people to better interact with the bay. The beach provides diverse programs along the waterfront and changes according to the tides, which also helps in demonstrating the change in water levels. 3 Environmental Research Center The Research center becomes a destination for people going to the outer bay by a creating a unique public waterfront where research activity, public participation and learning go hand in hand. The center spreads awareness about climate change, sea level rise and its effects, and is the starting point for the nature walk to the outer bay. 4 Oyster Shell Beach

Studio Aim

New design strategy for an emerging Arizona environment

Core urban design studio emphasizing the integration of architecture, landscape, and infrastructure as influences on urban form. Examining emerging Arizona urbanism.

Revitalizing Route 66

Independent Project Three challenging questions What is the contemporary city? What are the broader ecological, environmental, infrastructural and socio-cultural systems and processes that create our emerging contemporary city? What new urban design initiatives and innovative design strategies should we propose?

198

Route 66 forms an integral part of the city of Flagstaff. It passes through the center dividing downtown to the North of it and the University of Arizona and its surrounding neighborhoods to the south. The Strategy was to simply examie the existing condition, idetify the voids which could clearly turn into opportunities or potential to revitalize Route 66. All this in order to Revitalize the now underutilized spine - Route 66 and help connect the two divides. Celebrating the historic importance of Route 66 and using it as a symbol to stitch the divided communities - city back. Historic Route 66, now named Santa Fe Ave has become a strip of urban voids. Once seen as an icon social node, has now become a place of opportunity for a new identity. By reusing the existing conditions, reorganizing the systems and redefine its typology; this strip can become the active public place it once was. Programs will encourage community interaction, bring economic opportunity and allow cultural exchange.
