TOWNSCAPING Built Fabric

Farmington Arkansas is a town of roughly 5,000 in Northwest Arkansas. Farmington has become a bedroom community to Fayetteville, home of the University of Arkansas, and has lost its identity and imageability relating to it’s past character as one of America’s more vibrant farming communities. Townscaping, unlike master planning, employs a serial organization of nodes to create a walkable urban environment and deemphasize the auto-dominate 5 lane arterial. Using urban agriculture and low impact development (LID) principles, townscaping looks to set up new modes of connection to the built environment and imaginative practices in growing, planting, and foraging. Farmington Townscaping looks to serve as a model for other cities and towns, developing a kit of parts for use in a sort of plug in play manor.

TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT CENTER CONTROL FOR COLUMBUS

Built Fabric

The traffic management center in Columbus Ohio is representitive of an urban project most wouldn’t think of, traffic control. Though mostly unseen this major piece of infrastructure controls the movmeent throughout all major cities. In the specific example of Columbus, the city was looking to relocate out of their existing facilities and we sought to proivde a space that would not only function for daily management of their systems but serve as a hub for city wide emergencys and proivde space for the different agencies to come together. The building adds onto the cities existing management storage faciltites but makes a point to stand out as a new entity. Layers of glass were used from the facade, through the conference room, and finally into the actual control room allowing for trasnparncy and visual access to the heart of the system, its monitors.

URBAN HILL Built Fabric

Roma Tre University in Rome hosted an international design workshop with Waterloo University and the University of Arkansas, all in collaboration with highprofile Rome architecture firms. The competition was to re-envision Rome’s parliament building’s parking lot and create a new piazza for the area. The “parking hill” recalls the past, as a frequent approach to design in Rome, and looks to bring back an ancient hill that was destroyed by Bernini years ago. Rome is not a very green city, so the hill looks to not only create a new piazza but to give Romans a piece of the countryside within the center of their extremely dense and hectic city.

WILSON TRANSFER STATION EXPAND+REJUVENATE Built Fabric

Wilson Station is a major station on the Chicago Transit Authority Red Line, with more than two million passengers each year, and as part of this 1 billion dollar revitalization the station will become a transfer station to the express purple line. One of the main street-level entrances to the station is through the Gerber building — a contributing historical structure to Chicago’s Uptown Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Though constrained by physical space, both infrastructural and architectural, the new headhouse begs to act as a beacon to the Wilson neighborhood and a visual representation of the areas rejuvenation. With maximum transparency on all head house entries an attempt is made to link the length of the site, from the historic Gerber building in the north through the site and Harry S Truman college and finally connecting to the shopping blocks on the South. The station becomes a key contributer to the success of the urban environment: respecting/ representing the rich heritage of the site, increasing service levels of modern infrastructure to allow for continued growth of the neighborhood, and linking and engaging all corners of the site.

NEW YORK:2030 Built Fabric

What if Robert Moses got everything he asked for? New York City: 2030 is a competition for CityVision that looked to answer the question, “What is New York like in the Year 2030”. The response looks to New York’s past planning follies and imagines a future in which current day New Yorkers must respond to these past mistakes and answer them in a newly oil conscious society. The entry responds to two primary areas: Washington. Sq. Park and Robert Moses LoMex. It is understood after existing for 80 years the LoMex could not be dismantled, so it was simply deemphasized. A pedestrian promenade is snaked under the overpass with moments for amusement parks, green hills, skate parks, and amphitheaters. The pedestrian promenade links to a greenway connecting to Wash. Sq. Park. Wash. Sq. Park is dealing with 5th Ave. and it’s bifurcation of the park. To mediate this divide in public space, the pedestrian realm is simply blanketed back over 5th Ave. creating a sectionally articulate space. These responses are looked at as a kit of parts that can be applied to other trouble areas in the city.

SCENARIO PLANNING Built Fabric

Fayetteville Arkansas has a population of 74,000 and is predicted to at least double it’s population by 2030. Like many American cities, Fayetteville has adopted a traditional planning method, based on forcasted decisions and densities at 4 units per acre. This type of development leads to sprawl, loss of imageability and the creation of “anywhere USA” conditions. Scenario Planning envisions specific futures from exploration of “what if” propositions. Scenario Planning studies multiple futures allowing for more complete exploration. In Fayetteville the driver seeks to understand “what if 80% of all housing starts developed within a 1/2 mile of a multi-modal streetcar boulevard along 71b?” In transit city the new development focuses around Fayetteville’s main commercial artery and looks to reconnect the city using it’s already existing amenities and historical markers. The scenario creates a walkable city based off place-making techniques, green infrastructure systems, and incentivized commercial growth.

ART & CULTURE + TRANSIT

Built Fabric

The For the City/By the City competition prompted designers to choose any one of over 500 ideas and seek a way to challenge and transform the future of New York and the urban environment. Here, the proposal looks at how to address a vacant lot in the East Village of Manhattan and how to transform it into a space for art and performance. The proposal looks to explore the cultural relationship between subways, art, and performance. The L train runs beneath 14th Street, the Northern most street, and is served by a typical subway entry. The site becomes one large descent ramp into the subway, incorporating performing space, art space, and natural landscape. The vacant lot now stands as the East Village’s icon and artery to the rest of the city. The lot challenges what is typically seen as inconvenient or systematic and allows them to co-exist and become experiential. The subway is no longer seen as simply a means of transportation, but as an extension of the citie’s diverse cultures and varied lifestyles.

BOSTON SOUTH STATION DISTRICT REVILTALIZATION Built Fabric

Bostons Historic South station anchors the South Boston district of the city and has been an Icon for over 100 years. However, the station is in disrepair and no longer meets the growing needs of MBTA. On top of these issues, the city looks to expand to high speed rail cappacity for the North East corridor. After winning the RFP HNTB dug back into the project and peeled back all of the covers to reveal the true goals and issues at hand. This specifc version of the project looks back to Bostons history of wharfs and their still standing greenway and emerald necklace as drivers for the design. The station becomes part of the pedestrians experience allowing the Rose Kennedy Greenway (big dig) to move up and over the station and linking to the new innovation district. This new elevated greenway would also serve as a portion of the concourse for the MBTA tracks. Within the station a layered sectional approach is taken which provides visual access to all modes of transit: bus, amtrak, MBTA, taxi, walking, and the subway. The station looks to blend this dichotomy of a desitnation, the station, and movement, the greenway, and become the Nexus of Boston.

SOCIAL CAPITALIZE Built Fabric Social Capital is critical to the physical, mental, and economic health of a community. The networks and interactions between people add value (capital) to place, adding strength, equity and resources. In New Rochelle, NY and East Harlem, NY we find two communities at opposite ends of the spectrum of social capital; East Harlem is at a more complete stage with strong bonds and connections between groups but potentially vulnerable links to the greater “sphere� of the city, New Rochelle is at an ealier stage still in the process of building bonds and failing to create bridges between groups. These stages are the center of the design for these two communities that aim to develop the image of a healthier city, in all definitions of the word. East Harlem looks to build on the existing groups and relationships and bridge from East to West, connect Central Park to East River, and break down the physical and mental barriers that NYCHA public housing inadvertently creates. In New Rochelle we look to identify the key groups that are already established within the frame work of the city and amplfy them and establish strong physical and economical relationships between them.

PIER CITY 2040 Built Fabric When mapping the social infrastructure of lower Manhattan we find it exists, but in pockets of varied size scattered across the area, mostly disconnected from East to West. When the site is fully analyzed a great void surfaces along the East River. The area from South Ferry up to Pier 11 and over to Water Street is a gaping hole at almost every level of social and physical infrastructure. Though the east side of Lower Manhattan is heavily damaged during most severe storm events the demand for water front property remains at a constant level. This demand for waterfront property and an extreme shortage of land in Manhattan allows this moment to become an opportunity to satisfy the urgent housing need, sew together this disconnected area of the city, and develop a better defense against water events. Our intervention aims to use housing as a driver to relink Lower Manhattan using public infrastructure, public transit and water infrastructure tools to aid in the cities ever increasing need of Resiliency. This new moment serves as an alternate to Seaport City and a better integrated Battery Park City. Pier City uses housing as protection, connection and integration.
