ABANDONED HOUSE RETHINKING The Soul of Burnt Violin

Student: Tian Li Instructor: Donald Koster FA: Hallie Nolan



ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I would like to extend my deep gratitude to all those who have offered me a lot of help and support in the process of my thesis writing. First and foremost, my sincere thanks go to Instructor Donald Koster, my Design Thinking class supervisor,who has offered me numerous valuable comments and suggestions with patience and encouraged me profoundly throughout my whole DT study. He also supplied me many great materials for my project. Without his help and insightful advice, the completion of this class would have been impossible. Second, I would say thanks to Hallie Nolan, my TA of Design Thinking. We took almost every weekend to refine and improve my whole project. She gave me lots of excellent advice about how to develop my project, and how to keep the right track as well for the whole semester. Without her help, it is hard to finish the book. Also, I owe many thanks to all the professors who have taught me during my previous study in this class, for leading me into a challenging yet interesting field of academic project. The profit that I gained from them will be of significance to my future design and research. Besides, I would thank to Lisa Wolfe, who is the manager of Divoll Library. She provided me many helpful materials and resources of the public library system. What’s more, I owe my thanks to Roslyn Harvey and Cleshay, who are vice president and doctor in Affinia Healthcare Center. They accepted my interview and supplied a lot of information and help for my project. Last but not least, I am deeply indebted to my family and friends, who have helped me and shared with me my worries, frustrations, and happiness.

BACKGROUND & PREMISE


Abandoned House Photo by JAJOHNSONSSD MAY 19, 2015

GROWING ABANDONED PROPERTIES IN STL BACKGROUND

St. Louis has more than 7,000 vacant buildings, the city estimates. Many of them are accumulated in the north city of St. Louis. In some neighborhood, more than 600 houses were abandoned, which is a common phenomenon in the City of St. Louis. Government hope somebody could come back to their houses. However, there are few people tend to come back. Moreover, some of the owners have passed away. Their inheritors had already moved out and lives somewhere else that is easier to survive. Even though government tend to demolish some of abandoned houses with high cost, the abandoned houses are growing... Every building has it’s own story. Some of them have been abandoned for a long time, there is still a story of them.

ART

HOW ? The process of creating a art piece from a burnt violin to a delicate sculpture is worth to thinking. Artist casted the burnt pieces into a plastic box and roused the soul of violin again.

PREMISE PROGRAM

Abandoned houses are more than 600 in some north City neighborhood of St. Louis. The population loss is more than 20% over the past 5 years in these areas and abandoned houses are growing. Residents pass away due to bad wellness status and their inheritors had already moved out to lived somewhere else. According to a research of Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) in 2016, People who live in different parts of north St. Louis may have a 12-year difference in how long they can expect to live. Many residents with low perceived education of health care believe illness will improve with time or on its own. Guiding everyone to access hospital when they feel sick is difficult, because of low perceived educational background, but it is much easier to foster the younger generation healthy behavior, which could have a good influence on the community. This project aims to provide primary education and health care service program to foster individual health and help communities thrive again.

Araham H. Maslow, Motivation and Personality (Harper & Row Publishers, 1954)

DIFFERENT NEEDS LEVELS Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is a motivational theory in psychology comprising a five-tier model of human needs, often depicted as hierarchical levels within a pyramid. Needs lower down in the hierarchy must be satisfied before individuals can attend to needs higher up. From the bottom of the hierarchy upwards, the needs are: physiological, safety, love and belonging, esteem and self- actualization. This project mainly focus on the wellness in the community and make the community more prosper which is in the physiological needs of residents.

HISTORY OF NEIGHBORHOOD IN NORTH STL FROM 1816

Before Incorporated

Reconstruction

Before the city of St. Louis was incorporated in 1822, William Christy and others founded the Village of North St. Louis, bounded by present-day Monroe, Hadley, and Montgomery Streets, as well as the Mississippi River.

The Agriculture and Mechanical Fair was established in what’s today Fairground Park in 1855. During Reconstruction, more African-Americans began moving to St. Louis from the South. The city population had reached 310,869 by 1870.

European Immigration

Leader of

European immigrants poured into the city; St. Louis’ population grew from less than 20,000 in 1840 to more than 160,000 by 1860. Near Carr Square, Germans built brick Greek-revival style houses. To the north, Irish immigrants filled Kerry Patch with one-room shacks. German immigrants incorporated Bremen

In the year of 1904, by the time of the World’s Fair, more businesses and homes were sprouting up farther west. Many of those visitors who were black found themselves being directed to The Ville.

Missouri’s Chapter 1943 Urban Redevelopment Corporation Law passed “to encourage the redevelopment of blighted areas by providing real property tax abatement.” The law was amended several times in the years to come.

HISTORY OF SITE SHIFTING

From Ashland School (Penrose): Right (south) on North Newstead Avenue to Natural Bridge Road. Natural Bridge left (east) to North Grand Boulevard.

The annual, week-long St. Louis Fair was the high point of St. Louis social life from 1856 until 1902. Tens of thousands of visitors came to the fair every year, including the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, who visited here in 1860. Engraving by ). P. Davis. Missouri Historical Society Photograph and Print Collection. The North city of St. Louis neighborhood that is located in the Fairgrounds Park has a popular place in the cultural and recreational life in city of St. Louis. From the mid-nineteenth century, this area which extends from the end of the Grand Blvd and St. Louis Ave West to Fair Ave and north to Broadway has been home to some of the city’s most important public spaces. This area was once the edge of town and people in St. Louis came to relax and play the games. Whether attending the annual fair, going to a Cardinals game, or taking a scenic drive. They all began a ride and got together on Grand Blvd. However, St. Louisian today think Grand Ave area is the street which cuts through the middle part of the city. In the years of 1970s, this avenue was the eastern boundary of the Grand Pairie common field, and left a narrow strip east to west area for the agricultural use. The common field area that extended from St. Louis Ave on the south to Carter Ave on the north, and from Grand west to Newstead and Marcut ave is today’s Fairground neighborhood in city of St. Louis.

An arts and crafts program is one of the many activities available to members of the Herbert Hoover Boys’ Club, located on the former site of Sportsman’s Park. Herbert Hoover Boys’ Club.

Until 1950, African American children were denied the right to use the pool at Fairgrounds Park. Here, a father asks the pool superintendent to admit his sons. The boys were refused entry. Photograph by Ed Meyer. Missouri Historical Society Photograph and Print Collection.

The community’s famous attractions and easy access to streetcar facilities encouraged early residential development of city of St. Louis. Subdivisions extended until the edge of the fairgrounds around 1860s, and the area continued to develop until early 1900s. But the city developed other areas for the recreation, and the Fairground Park area gradually lost its status identity as the center of entertainment. By the late 1960s, residents watched the games in the new Busch Stadium in downtown to cheer on the Cardinals rather than riding the streetcar up Grand. Nowadays, the Fairground neighborhood is struggling with the problems that face all urban neighborhoods. Residents try to preserve their community. Also the Fairground neighborhood organization is focusing on their efforts on restoring and revitalizing their park as a place for entertainment. This park has its own historic identity and it could be a great potential for the future development in the whole neighborhood.

Sportsman’s Park, at Grand and Dodier, was the home of the St. Louis Cardinals from 1920 until 1966. When the ball club was moved to the new Busch Stadium downtown, August A. Busch, Jr., donated the site of the old stadium to the Herbert Hoover Boys’ Club. Missouri Historical Society Photograph and Print Collection.

North Grand Boulevard was vital to the popularity of the Fairground Park, as it offered an easy way for people from the city to get to the then-remote recreational area. More importantly, the road encouraged residential development and commerce. Even though the streetcars did not run for the sports team any more, as well as the Busch Stadium has moved toward to downtown, the north Grand Ave area is still a significant connection between North St. Louis and the South City. In the year of 1855, a group of businessmen formed the Agricultural and Mechanical Association for the purpose of giving and annual trade fair, which the first one opened on 13th of October of 1856, and it ran for a week. Manufacturers displayed their latest inventions, and farmers from outstate brought their best livestock and produce, competing for huge premiums.

Hyde Park’s water towers, one on Grand Avenue (foreground) and the other on Bissell Street (background), are two of only seven such structures remaining in the nation. Photograph by Lester Linck. Missouri Historical Society Photograph and Print Collection.

Turnvereins were vital social and cultural centers for the German community in St. Louis. In the Hyde Park neighborhood, the North St. Louis Turnverein, formed in 1860, was the city’s third such organization. In addition to gymnastics, Turnvereins were involved in various political causes. Missouri Historical Society Photograph and Print Collection.

Over the years, three hundred buildings were constructed for the Fairground neighborhood. In the 1870s a zoo was constructed in the southeast corner of the fairgrounds. The bear pit structure, dating to 1876, is the only building remaining from the fair. In the year of 1884 the Fairground neighborhood received a blow from the Exposition Hall of downtown. Then the last fair the neighborhood was in 1902. The city purchased the abandoned fairgrounds in 1908, then removing its structures, reopened the site as Fairground Park in 1909, which is today’s Fairground Park in the north city of St. Louis.
