FOOD CITY SCENARIO. FAYETTEVILLE 2030

UNIVSERSITY OF ARKANSAS COMMUNITY DESIGN CENTER. SPRING 2013STEVE LUONI. JEFF HUBER

By 2030, it is expected that Fayetteville will grow from its current 70,000 people to an estimated 130,000. In an ef-fort to devise a solution for this the UA Community Design Center has developed multiple scenario planning ideas, including the food-city scenario which would be developed along an already proposed “food” boulevard. This project explores the food-city scenario through urban-agriculture precedents in which a city can sustain itself through its own, local food production as oppsed to imports. This scheme takes on a real site in Fayetteville, Arkansas which is currently home to multiple, disparate single family home developments with no business market or a communal place that can help anchor these developments and bring them together. In an effort to connect these communities this project proposes two anchors along the boulevard and on either side of an existing reparian. These anchors become local market centers for local foods as well as armatures for a new, denser housing that provides more opportunity for community and agricultural growth.

NEIGHBORHOOD FORMATION:SEVEN HOUSING TYPOLOGIES STUDY

After developming an under-standing of urban and agriculture fabrics working together at both the scale of the city and neigh-borhood, this next study exlpores the design development of seven housing typologies common throughout Fayetteville. Using all seven, this neighborhood-scheme studies how they all work to-gether as well as create moment of urban space as well as spatial relationships with each other to creat a neighborhood formation.

ELEVATED SYSTEMS. THE CORPORATE HIGH LINE

JOHN G. WILLIAMS VISITING PROFESSOR STUDIO. FALL 2012VINCENT JAMES. JENNIFER YOOS

This research-based studio explored the ideas of elevated systems and their current nature in existing cities today. The High Line in New York is a new type of elevated system. As an elevated park it creates a new, green pedes-trian parkway that runs along the west side of Manhattan and against the iron grid. Currently, there is no direct connection of building culture with High Line culture. This proposal takes the existing language of the High Line pathway and extends it into interstitial zones creating multi-ple interfaces between the built culture and the High Line culture. In addition, a new program is added to the culture surrounding the High Line in order to allow for a larger variety and mix-ture of both tourists, artists, and New Yorkers alike to interact daily within this area.

ARTS FACILITY. LITTLE ROCK CREATIVE CORRIDOR

COMPREHENSIVE STUDIO. FALL 2011MARLON BLACKWELL. TAHAR MASADI

As an effort to revive Little Rock’s downtown Main Street, local architects and city council have proposed a Creative Corridor scheme that will bring a new and vibrant arts culture to the city of Little Rock. This corridor will house venues for arts of all kinds as well as for local and visiting artists which will thus pull culture and entertain-ment back to the city’s center. This scheme for a multi-purpose arts facility will serve as both a hub and a beacon for artistic collaboration as well as community gathering. In addition, it responds to the immediate scales responding sensitively to the forms and orders of the historic contexts. In addition, the creation of a primary interface and cohesion between the built form and the urban environment is critical to this project’s thesis of marriage between the arts and community.

THE SITE AND INITIAL DEVELOPMENT:CORNER VACANT LOT AND MID TERM SCHEME DEVELOMENT

Left: Images of site at the corner of Capitol Avenue and Main Street which is currently a vacant lot. Above: Initial design proposal and schematic development. Based off the traditional courtyard scheme this scheme abstracts that idea by raising half of the building onto an arcade which becomes an L-bar that marks the transition between the street and the arts building. The L-tower sits back allowing for most of the public and art interac-tion to happen at the interface while keeping the required office spaces more privatized.

43JONES

Further development of this scheme into both experiential and model form. At this point in the design material expression and detail development become apart of the overall comprehen-sion. After midterm, intense development of not only the skin tectonics but also the structural, mechanical, and urban design was critical to the overall project.

ITERATIVE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT:POST MID-TERM DEVELOPMENT

Further development of the scheme shifts the L-tower to the southwest corner of the facility. This allows for a closer, more intimate relationship with the historic context, clearly defines and exemplifies the impor-tance of the street corner, as well as adjusts to the orientation of the sun to allow for softer light to hit the east-facing facade and courtyard.

VERTICAL CEMETERIES. CHICAGO MAUSOLEUM.

SECOND YEAR SEMESTER-LONG PROJECT. SPRING 2010DAVID BUEGE

Set in the heart of Chicago, this project required a space that would hold 10,000 bodies with 6000 being urns and 4000 being caskets. Be-cause of the limited square footage of 80’x100’, a vertical “house for the dead” was necessary. This proposal takes the ideas of a traditional cemetery in which the markers of the buried are, for the most part, physically and visually ac-cessible to the public. The primary goal of this proposal is to express and celebrae the people and memories of the past within the heart of Chicago. This is acheivable through the layered facade of glass curtain walls and a vitrine wall which holds all urns as well as through the ground level which is accessible to the public during the day time so that the passerby can experience the idea of an urban mausoleum.

WOOD STRUCTURES. CONTOUR CANTILEVER

THIRD YEAR THREE WEEK LONG PROJECT. FALL 2010LYNN FITZPATRICK

Models studying weight resistence of wood veneer through different forms to determine which was most efficient and most structurally sound.

Continuing a semester long study of wood struc-tures in design, this project explores designing for issues of load, the structure, and the weight of the structure. This was a group competition project in which I was paired with Geronimo Debeza-Rodriguez. The primary objective of this competition-project was to design a wood cantilever with the best weight-to-load ratio. Each group chose from three properties--tessellation, folding, contouring--in which to base to design of the cantilever. We chose contouring, or bending to create a structural form. To achieve the lightest structure to hold the greatest amount of weight, we laminated veneer wood in continuous loops. Our cantilever structure weighed a total of 15 pounds and held up to 127 pounds before deflec-tion. Out of 24 cantilevers tested, this had the fourth best ratio.
