Site Elevation
Due to compaction and urban planning has shortened tree lifespan to 13 years.
For continuous planters, allow six feet minimum width for minor streets and eight feet minimum width for major streets. For tree wells, the minimum area should be 5’. Avoid compaction of soils during construction. Ideal soils for the planting area are sandy loam for good drainage or structural soils if located under streets or sidewalks.

The site, located in Kansas City’s urban core also straddles a newly installed streetcar line that connects several downtown neighborhoods. The new line will carry passengers starting in 2016 after an earlier streetcar system was abandoned in the 1950’s. An historic photo from 1906 included on the boards shows rails in the streets as a backdrop to a vibrant streetscape. A proposed street section shows the integration of multiple modes of transportation with retail and low-impact development strategies such as percolation gardens and bioswales.

The Kansas City site was selected because its development pattern is typical of many medium-sized American cities. It is unique, however, in its early adoption of gigabit technology. The first city in the US to receive a gigabit internet network installed by Google Fiber, the technological infrastructure allows one to speculate on how the future of housing may be influenced by almost unlimited bandwidth in the context of a Smart City.

Universal Design Principles
Studies show that seniors that withdraw from social interaction are more vulnerable to depression. Social networking can encourage engagement.
The technology-rich infrastructure shown here is focused on health and wellness, however, the same smart-city connectedness is necessary for solar panels, geothermal heating and cooling, water reclamation and management, and high efficiency mechanical systems. Prefabrication also allows for superior insulation of the exterior envelope.
Prefabricated strategies allow a plug-and-play approach to the technology infrastructure. Not only is it easy to upgrade systems as technology evolves, residents can tap into monitoring systems as they are needed or as their health declines.
A built environment that caters to people of all ages and physical abilities is rooted on principles of barrier-free design. Visitabilty and ease of mobility throughout the community values all residents.
Chronic Care Management Voucher The American Affordable Care Act provides a health insurance voucher to Primary Care Physicians that are able to deploy monitoring strategies for chronic ailments.
Accessible - Adaptable Coffee Shops + Internet Cafes
Accessibility and adaptability are values that support the inclusion of all people with varying needs throughout a community. Wide doors, zero-threshold entrances cater to baby strollers and wheelchairs alike. Large print signage and venues outfitted with assisted listening devices makes a statement that all people are welcomed and valued.
Places of Worship Mentorship Incubator Spaces + Educational Facilities
Data can be collected over time to monitor activity, but more importantly, advances in predictive algorithms can allow the system to “learn” about the typical activities of a resident and to sense irregularities that may be a cause for concern.
Urgent Care + Minute Clinic Urban Farming to support Farmer’s Markets + Culinary Classes
DATA COLLECTION Remote sensors can be used to not only detect when someone is in need of assistance but video capture can assist care providers in determining what caused the fall, whether the subject hit his or her head, and what factors in the living environment may have contributed to the fall.
Automated dispensers with alarms and voice assistance allow medications to be monitored and assist patients that have trouble following medication regiments. Coupled with data of vital signs the device can automatically adjust dosages.
FALL DETECTION
Improved Hardscape Walkability
AUTOMATED MED. DISPENSER
Both active (wearable) and passive (camera) sensors collect data on stride and body movements and detect imperceptible dysfunction and deterioration in coordination and balance. These can determine early stages of diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. This can allow for earlier treatment and monitoring of a resident.

Disorientation brought on by dehydration is a leading cause of falls. Smart Toilet technology can collect data on hydration, blood in the urinary tract, blood pressure, and heart rate. An automated medicine dispenser networked to data collection from a smart toilet would allow for real time adjustment and monitoring of hydration levels and diuretics.

The gradual yellowing of the lenses in our eyes brought on by aging filters out a significant portion of blue light that helps to regulate the body’s circadian rhythms that balance the release of melatonin in the evening and cortisol in the morning. This data can be used to color-correct ambient light through LED lighting technology and provide custom lighting spectrum therapy.

The Living Lab is a community hub and central to our project. This revolutionary patient-centered wellness facility located at the center of our intergenerational neighborhood is operated by a local university medical center in partnership with local public health agencies. The Living Lab provides residents access to the most advanced interdisciplinary health and wellness research available today allowing seniors to age-in-place with dignity and a high quality of life. We have designed a housing prototype unit that accommodates varying levels of physical wellness through the applications of best practices in accessible design, adaptable design, and Universal Design principles. Advanced remote sensing environments can monitor vital signs, activity, sleep, mood/depression, blood sugar, hydration, medication adherence systems, smart toilets and mirrors, fall detection, as well as networked social environments (communication, gaming, Wii, cognitive training, social networking). Advances in predictive algorithms allow for big data to be mined in order to foresee falls, stroke, Alzheimer’s, and demenia.

MOBILE COLLABORATORY [THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS] SPRING 2014 DESIGN BUILT WITH A TEAM OF 19 MEMBERS PROFESSOR: Nils Gore MOCOLAB BLOG:
PROJECT THESIS:
http://kumocolab.org/
The Mobile Collaboratory is a repurposed 1972 31’ Airstream Land Yacht that was conceived and designed to be KU’s community classroom on wheels. It was born out of recognition that there are many faculty and staff on campus whose work is firmly embedded in community issues, from design and urban planning, to public administration, to public health and clinical child psychology. Furthermore, that work needs close cooperation and reciprocal collaboration with community partners in its place of consideration.

LAWRENCE PUBLIC LIBRARY [LAWRENCE, KS] SPRING 2013 INDEPENDENT STUDIO PROJECT PROFESSOR: Steve Grabow
PROJECT THESIS:
This project was all about going back to traditional methods of design: constructing and designing everything by hand. I was taught how to use my hands and eyes to think and design. I started with thinking of the program as a basic function of what should go together and what makes the most sense at each level. From there, I would mass these spaces depending on importance. To design this library as a comfortable reading space, I created a big opean space with a glass curtain wall in the centre of the building, which can bring enough sunlight into each level of the library.
