Design Approach Philosophy

ENVIRONMENT

Concatenation: “...a series of inter-connected or inter-dependant things...”

“...to connect or link in a series or chain...”

Landscapes are not static; they are created, destroyed and/or re-created through chain reactions.

COMMUNITY

ECONOMY

To catalyze new relationships between ecology, economy and community is to intervene in a landscape’s evolution. By re-imagining these relationships through the actions of revelation and adaptation, an altered process results which leads to an enhanced, inter-connected landscape.

This high-performance infrastructure is an evolving, adjusting network of mini-systems. The master plan adapts its greenways to fault lines and the architecture takes advantage of solar orientation. Students from nearby educational institutions will utilize this infrastructure and ecosystem as a training ground. In essence those living and working in the East Village will simultaneously learn from, benet from and impact continued innovation and development.

2010 Ed Bacon 4th Annual Student Design Competition - first place entry Grays Ferry Crescent & DuPont Marshal Laboratory - South Philadelphia, PA Project Length: 4 weeks Competition Challenge: “Brown to Green” challenged students to create a new vision for South Philadelphia’s Grays Ferry Crescent. With the industrial DuPont Marshall Laboratory complex closing and the Schuylkill River Development Corporation extending its riverfront park trail along the edge of the site, this area offers strong potential, but also great challenges. The competition gave students the opportunity to push the envelope on cutting-edge ideas for transforming brownfields of an industrial past into sustainable environs for a green future.” Objectives: Address issues including: an abandoned site, the future of industrial land, contamination, sustainability, neighborhood connectivity, connectivity with assets, maximizing new riverfront trail, community design, questions of equity and historical memory Collaboration: Zac Boggs, MLA; Maureen Bolton, MLA; Tyler Grooms, MPS-RE, Dan Kelleher, MRP; Chris Koenig, MRP Faculty Advisors: Jamie Vanucchi, Landscape Architecture & Pike Oliver, Program in Real Estate

The Life of a Trichloroethene (TCE) Plume

Remediation Strategy and Phasing

Phasing

Existing Conditions Existing on The Crescent are a number of potentially harmful chemical plumes that can adversely affect human and environmental health. The intensive remediation of the site is a legal precursor to long-term development.

Phase I - Remediation The use of mobile tents to contain the on-site TERRALAVAR-MOBILE remediation activities allow for building to occur simultaneously with the remediation and re-use of the soil. As the tents strategically move across the site, new construction will follow. The remediated soil will be cleaned on-site, and re-used on-site.

Phase II - Employment A Waste Management research and development facility is established to bring quality green jobs back to the area. This R&D facility will study integrated community waste treatment systems. Initial office space is also built out and begins to bring people back to the site for employment. Tented remediation is beginning to wrap-up as people come onto the site.

Phase III - Civic Retail usage at the intersection of Grays Ferry Ave. and South 34th Street utilizes the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong visibility. A new hotel and conference center is also sited along the Schuylkill River Trail and maintains frontage on the new promenade. This phase also includes the new Industrial Heritage Museum that is connected to a preserved Dupont building. Heritage Park is also constructed during this phase.

Phase IV - Residential The central axis terminates at the stilted Ecological Learning Center that educates people on the brownfield remediation process and the affects of soil contamination on communities. With final remediation complete, residents can now return to live along the Schuylkill. The Crescent respects the 100year floodplain by returning that portion of the site to a natural wetland area.

Grays Ferry is reconnected to the Schuylkill and new park space by a green promenade that terminates at the intersection of Grays Ferry Avenue and South 34th Street. Sustainability at The Crescent involves integrated design solutions where stormwater and solar energy are The Schuylkill River Trail interconnects with new park space at The Crescent. The green promenade and park system are resources, not nuisances. anchored by the Ecology Learning Center which rises on stilts above the floodplain. Blue roofs hold stormwater which is transferred to cisterns for building use & irrigation.

Sun

Solar panels align with the Sun’s path maximizing ‘green’ energy production.

Precipitation

In-accessible roofs are planted to filter stormwater prior to cistern collection & reuse. Rooftop courtyards utilize stormwater while increasing open space for residents. Permeable pavements and structural soil allow for stormwater infiltration and improved plant growth.

A vapor intrusion mitigation system vents the residual plume, allowing people to safely re-inhabit the site.

H.E.A.L Chicopee

H.E.A.L Chicopee - A Strategic Plan for Factory Village Former Facemate / Uniroyal Properties - Chicopee, MA Spring 2010 - Capstone Studio, Professor Deni Ruggeri Project Length: In progress Challenge: The former Facemate / Uniroyal properties have been vacant for the past 30 years. The city has recently gained ownership of the 70 acres of former industrial land and is moving forward with site preparations for redevelopment. Currently there little to no market pressure existing for redevelopment, liability & accountability issues regarding brownfield challenges and a desire to demolish all structures Goals: The development of a strategic plan that integrates the elements of Health, Ecology, Activity and Legacy (H.E.A.L.). These elements are important in defining Chicopee’s identity as well as successfully re-envisioning a former industrial site in its new context. The strategic plan strives to create a framework into which community identified programming can be interwoven with areas that are ‘landbanked’ for future development should the market demand such additions. Collaboration: Christian Gruber, MLA; Christopher Hardy, MLA; Christopher Horton, MLA; Declan Keane, MLA
