Market District Urban Intervention: TALLAHASSEE FLORIDA URBAN DESIGN STUDIO FALL 2014 PROFESSOR: EDUARDO ROBLES The master plan seeks to give Market District a “Sense of Place” and identity it so notably needs. The proposal capitalizes on the area’s existing natural assets to create this distinctiveness. Thomasville road was once known as a canopy street with statuesque oak trees and serves as an inspiration to create an identity by bringing back what was once the crown glowing in the area. Through the adaption of their unique canopy-visual form will steam a continuous composition of abstract architectural expressions depicted consistently throughout the catalyst for tying the entire area together. These elements will not only serve as devices that will shade pedestrians from the sun and rain but they will define and create places and spaces. To ensure continually the concept will influence the smallest to the largest detail as it seeks to give the identity of a utopia walk able garden branding Market District as both a natural and constructed Urban Forest. The master plan also addresses and enhances issues pertaining to : Gateways Signage Parks/Green Spaces Water Features Pedestrian Area Pavements Street Planting Street Amenities Sculptures Lighting

JACKSONVILLE MARINA: JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA DESIGN 6.2 SPRING 2014 PROFESSOR: CRAIG HUFFMAN
The Jacksonville Marina is designed to create a ceremonial progression from the street façade to the river front. This is accomplished by use of a series of courtyards that create gathering spaces to accompany the surrounding spaces whether they are retail clothing stores, sports bars or restaurants. The progression of space ultimately opens up to expose the Saint John’s river which holds various gathering spaces and a walkway that connects to the overall master plan’s idea of connecting green spaces and providing a connection to McCoy creek.

GULF STATE CENTRE FOR URBAN DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE: MOBILE ALABAMA. DESIGN 4.2 SPRING 2012 PROFESSOR: ROY KNIGHT
DESCRIPTION: THE GULF STATES CENTRE FOR URBAN DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE IS DESIGNED AS AN EXPRESSION OF URBAN DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE, WITHIN THE URBAN CONTEXT OF DOWNTOWN MOBILE ALABAMA. IT HAS A COURTYARD SIMILAR TO THOSE OF TRADITIONAL EUROPEAN AND FRENCH ARCHITECTURE. ADDITIONALLY THE CENTRE ALSO MAKES MULTIPLE EXPRESSIONS OF MODERN AND POST MODERN ARCHITECTURE. THE FRAME ON THE PUBLIC FACADE WILL SERVE AS A DOUBLE FACADE. THE CENTRE WILL NOT ONLY BE A PIECE OF ICONIC ARCHITECTURE FOR MOBILE ALABAMA, BUT THE ENTIRE GULF COAST.

<<PROJECT SITE AND SURROUNDING BUILDINGS VEHICULAR TRAFFIC
THE DESIGN PROPOSAL FOR DOWNTOWN TALLAHASSEE IS LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION OF TENNESSEE STREET AND MONROE STREET. THE SITE IS SURROUNDED BY SMALL OFFICES, HOTELS AND A RESIDENTIAL AREA. THE PROJECT SITE IS PROPOSED TO INCLUDE A DETACHED PARKING GARAGE, A LARGE RETAIL SPACE, TWO SMALL RETAIL STORES, AND MULTIPLE OFFICE SPACES. THE PROPOSAL WILL COMPRISE OF AN OPEN FLOOR PLAN. THE DESIGN WAS INFLUENCED BY LE CORBUSIER’S FIVE POINTS OF ARCHITECTURE. ADDITIONALLY A SAFE OUT DOOR SPACE IS REQUIRED THEREFORE THE PROJECT WILL INCLUDE MULTIPLE ROOF GARDENS AS WELL AS AN EXTERIOR GATHERING AREA ON THE FIRST LEVEL VILLA SAVOYE >> DESIGNED BY: LE CORBUSIER LE CORBUSIER’S USE OF PILOTIS AND RIBBON WINDOWS WILL BE A FOCUS POINT IN THE DESIGN OF THE DOWNTOWN TALLAHASSEE OFFICE COMPLEX
BUSY STREETS GIVE A NEED FOR SOUND BARRIERS TO LOWER THE NOISE ENTERING TO THE BUILDING. TREES AND OTHER PLANTS WILL SERVE AS THE MAIN SOUND BARRIER.
PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC HIGH PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC GIVES THE PUBLIC EASY ACCESS TO THE OFFICE OR STORE OF THEIR CHOICE. HOWEVER A GATHERING SPACE IS ADDED TO SEPARATE BUILDING VISITORS FROM OTHER PEDESTRIANS
VIEWS INTO SITE MULTIPLE VIEWS IN AND OUT OF THE SITE BECOME FOCUS POINTS IN THE DESIGN
CULTURAL ISSUES THE PROJECT SITE IS SURROUND BY HOTELS, OFFICES AND BANKS AND ALSO NEAR A HISTORIC RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT. AS A RESULT THE OFFICE COMPLEX WILL VARY IN HEIGHT SO IT DOESN’T COMPLETELY DOMINATE THE SURROUNDING BUILDINGS
