SOBRO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 5th Avenue South, Nashville, TN date: Fall 2011 professor: Barbara Klinkhammer The Sobro Elementary School is being proposed to further efforts to revitalize downtown Nashville. Located at the corner of 5th Avenue and Lea Avenue, this project is part of a collective effort to improve urban density and vitality. This school is meant to act as a catalyst for residential growth in the heart of Nashville and provide an extra amenity that could help to attract young families, and the services they require, into the downtown area. The overall concept driving the design of the building is transparency - both literal and phenomenal - which is applied in two different ways. First, the design provides a sense of transparency to the community by breaking the program into school specific functions and those that could be shared with the public, which are then separated into two buildings, allowing the public to use shareable functions during the schools off hours. Second, flex spaces are provided within the school building that allow the students to experience different aspects of the Cumberland River - water, sand, and clay - providing the sense of phenomenal transparency. In the surrounding site, the landscape is terraced to provide park space as well as a playground for the children. In addition to landscaping the site on which the school is located, the site directly to the south was included in the design, creating additional space for playing fields, as well as space for a skate park and a skate center - providing an additional community amenity.

NEW ORLEANS MARKET 1235 North Peters Street, New Orleans, LA

date: Spring 2012

professor: Greg Spaw New Orleans is a city that boasts a confluence of culture unlike any other American city. Its unique cultural makeup has helped New Orleans evolve into a city that is completely its own, fostering the melting pot ideals that Americans hold dear, while all the while emerging as one of the most diverse and dynamic cities in America. Our project of designing a new market in the French Quarter posed many challenges, not the least of which was how to remain true to a typology truly unique to New Orleans without becoming a slave to the traditional French Quarter aesthetic. My approach involved providing a connection to a riverside park while also bringing additional green space into the Quarter itself through the use of a green roof. An interpretation of the traditional New Orleans market is sheltered underneath the roof, as well as additional program meant to bring further vitality to a city which exudes vigor.

NASHVILLE COMMUNITY BOATHOUSE - INTEGRATIONS Nashville Riverfront, Nashville, TN date: Fall 2012 professor: Bill Martella The Nashville Community Boathouse is being proposed as an addition to the current Nashville Riverfront Plan to provide a facility for a rapidly growing rowing population. As an addition to the plan, the Boathouse would provide another theater of sport within downtown Nashville, while also serving as a catalyst for increasing pedestrian use of the Esplanade along the east bank of the river and encourage further development of adjacent areas, burgeoning the revitalization of the downtown as a whole. Programmatically, in addition to the attraction of the races themselves, the Boathouse also provides the appeal of a restaurant and bar that look out across the river to the downtown proper, an attraction that could serve even more exposure for the redevelopment of the downtown as well as the sport of rowing.

KNOXVILLE URBAN FARM 299 South Gay Street, Knoxville, TN date: Spring 2014 professor: Jennifer Akerman The Knoxville Urban Farm is proposed not only as an architectural intervention in downtown Knoxville, but also as a challenge to the way Americans live. Meant to be an example of an architecture based solely on wellness, the Urban Farm is designed around three primary factors: encouraging a healthy diet, plenty of physical activity, and a healthy psychological environment based on social interaction. As a mixed use project, the Urban Farm is to include a market on the lowest level, a gym on the floor above, and condominiums on the upper levels - all wrapped by a hydroponic farm meant to serve as a year round source of healthy food for the inhabitants and the surrounding community. Each of these components takes into account at least one of the three defining factors that contributes to an architecture that promotes wellness, and as a whole they create a community predicated on a common interest in living a healthier life.
