RE-GENERATE

North St. Louis consists of dense historic fabric that over the years has been in a state of degeneration. This state is caused by the lack of access to a healthy, growing economy. There have been many attempts to remedy this issue through renovation or introduction of new housing developments. These attempts offer a superficial “face-lift” without actually addressing the root of the issue, the economy and it’s need of a regeneration. AXIS is the selection of two synergistic sites and an introduction of a means to access better jobs, careers, and a healthy growing local economy, through learning to code and the technology industry.

Instead of treating economic degeneration with superficial building renovation, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;surgical introductionâ&#x20AC;? of synergistic industries and economies could RE-GENERATE growth, urban density, and sense of purpose in North St. louis.

- DEGENERATION (ECONOMICAL)

- RENOVATION (SUPERFICIAL)

- A GROWING ECONOMY THE TECH INDUSTRY

From November 2013 to October 2014, funding to St. Louis based tech startups increased by 1,221% and remains strong today.

Availability of tech jobs is projected to increase at least 18.8% by 2024 according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

LORETTA HALL - AXIS SITE CORTEX INNOVATION COMMUNITY

“Grafted” at the edge of Downtown St. Louis and the core of St. Louis Place, Old North St. Louis, Columbus Square, and Carr Square. This potential site is accessible by multiple neighborhoods while remaining close to the existing city fabric. Due to its proximity, this site would function as a hub that would offer tech classes and after school programs geared towards all ages in order to aquire valuable tech skills.

Functioning as the anchor to the synergistic relationship, Cortex Innovation Community provides a booming location where students and “graduates” of the education industry can find internships, full time employment, and valuable experience. This will enable them to contribute to the tech industry as they simultaneously foster a growing tech culture and when capable, return to the north campus where they will find growing, affordable space for a business startup.

- FABRIC SEAMS -

The city fabric condition within these five North St. Louis neighborhoods is full of contrasting seams. Moments of clear urban degeneration and often across the street and right next door is an attempt to renovate or regenerate an old house or a new house has been placed among the ruins of what preceded it. These moments stand as a clear example of the need to regenerate the economy instead of simply attempting to renovate the fabric.

Site Details

Chosen for the neighborhoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mixture of vacant lots, inhabited urban fabric, and new housing developments, Loretta Hall as a future site is a ten minute walk to Washington Avenue and Downtown St. Louis and provides plenty of room for future growth.

Accessibility

Axis and Cortex are already â&#x20AC;&#x153;linkedâ&#x20AC;? through the public transit system. Axis has one bus stop immediately on-site and three more within a four minute walk, with an average public transit commute of 35 minutes between sites. So as to serve all ages of the community, Axis is within a 20 minute walking radius of six schools ranging from elementary to high school and a total enrollment of 2,444 students. These students are seen as potential summer and after school program enrollees of Axis.

Site Viability

Axis is to be based in Loretta Hall for more specific reasons than just proximity to amenities or availability of space. This site is a populated, dense location whose neighborhood has some of the lowest averages household incomes of the North end of St. Louis and some of the highest unemployment rates. It is a site that could greatly benefit from access to an emerging and growing local economy and industry.

Industry Strength

A school system as an industry provides immediate economic growth by offering a range of jobs. On average, 50% of a schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offered jobs do not require advanced education or a degree. Meaning that even those who are not interested in a tech. education but still need employment will benefit from Axis. Those who receive an Axis degree will be able to find work in the growing tech. industry of St. Louis as Cortex alone has over 100 companies, many of which have tech. needs and are often tech. specific companies.

- THE EDUCATION INDUSTRY AVERAGE PUBLIC SCHOOL NUMBERS

115 JOBS 53% of job openings require a bachelors degree or more.

47% of job openings do not require an advanced degree, but sometimes preference is given to those with education

16% of the openings require some type of licensing, most however can be earned after being hired

Most job openings naturally give preference to those with previous experience

Project Phases

Axis is more than just a physical building or architectural program, it is a four phase system whose aim is designed to re-generate economic growth over time. Phase one is the physical construction of Axis. Phase two is the creation of paths and connections of internships and careers for the students. Phase three is to encourage alumni to return and help with school programs, emphasizing a social connection. Phase four as the final stage, is to create discounted office space near and around Axis geared towards the technology industry, further fostering a desired tech. culture.

Curriculum Path

Those who enroll at Axis in beginning phases will have the chance to learn two different coding languages, Java and Ruby on Rails. Both courses will have distinct curriculum that will be tailored to adults seeking nontraditional education while the curriculum for the youth could be spread out as after school programs or summer programs. The end goal for all curriculum is to reach fluency and proficiency in the target languange. As Axis reaches further development they will be able to offer more languages according to industry demands.

Programming

Axis building programming provides space for tech. education in the form of classrooms, shared spaces, and computer labs. At the same time it contains spaces that will enable Axis to foster growth of the tech. industry and culture, such as lecture spaces and conference rooms. To create a program that is activated throughout different times of the day, Axis has spaces geared towards public usage such as a cafe, market space, and public exterior space that will remain open for use.

PRIVATE PROGRAMMING

Private programming such as classrooms, computer lab space, or conference rooms are shown in the cloud as being situated at the â&#x20AC;&#x153;coreâ&#x20AC;? of the programmatic cloud. These spaces must be accessible by those within AXIS but do not necessarily need to be accessible from the street by the general public. They require a layer of privacy.

SEMI-PUBLIC PROGRAM

AXIS as a hub for the community contains programming for AXIS that simultaneously will benefit the general public. The lecture hall, multipurpose space, and other shared spaces are future locations for public outreach programs, lectures, etc. These spaces reach out from the core of AXIS and fill the site. A space for the community. More defined on the site along the access streets are the public programmatic spaces such as the cafe, collaboration areas, and the supermarket. The most necessary being the supermarket space as there is only one other legitimate option within a 20 minute walk of AXIS.

PUBLIC PROGRAMMING

- Market Programming (20 minute walk radius)

Salama Market

Culinaria Supermarket

AXIS is more than just a building or public space. It is the opportunity to regenerate economic health and strength in a location that for years has been in degeneration. It is a plan that with time will foster a tech culture in the community and will further strengthen itself and its own purpose as those within the community benefit from better opportunities. The tech industry is growing daily within St. Louis and this is the chance to help those within our city to find their own place within its future rather than outsourcing the economic benefits to those outside of our city. Re-generation in place of degeneration, AXIS with enable its students to code their way to a better future.
