1600S: EARLY SETTLEMENT
1700S: POST- RESIDENCE ACT
CIVIL WAR ERA: SALMON P. CHASE
English settlers colonized Powhatan land, naming it New Troy.
The area becomes the city of Washington, mainly run using enslaved labor.
Chase buys 40 acres that eventually becomes home to Edgewood.
COMMUNITY RESEARCH Central Passage is located in Zone 5 of Washington, D.C. It is designed for Bryant St. Development, which is a new and expensive set of projects being built and designed currently for this area. This project taught me a lot about how to solve problems, particularly around sensitive subjects such as gentrification. When diving into the research involving the site, it became very clear that development in the area was not welcome with the community, and the site itself has a long standing history with being taken over and building against community needs. The solution that seemed the most ethical and economical would be to build a mixed-use, mixed-income connection point between the development and the historic community.

1900S: ST. VINCENT’S ORPHANAGE
1980S: THE MALL
NOW: BRYANT ST. DEVELOPMENT
This orphanage for girls was built after the demolition of Edgewood, and closed in 1968.
Plans for development were made to turn the area into a retail hotspot.
Developers are currently enacting their plans to build new mixed-use buildings.
BUILDING CONNECTIONS Much of what I had learned about the site, including demographic studies, site visits, site analysis, and more lead me to the decision to meet the developer’s needs and the community’s needs in a way that would stand against the privatization and seclusion of the development as it currently stands, and honor a connection point, or a gateway, to invite the historic community inwards, and to create a bridge between the inevitable development and the hesitant neighbors. A goal for Central Passage is to provide the area with resources it is lacking, such as grocery and childcare, as well as design for economical housing within that building that is more accessible for the people in the area.

PROCESS AND PROGRESSION
BUILDING BLOCKS Incorporating elements and forms from the surrounding development buildings was important to design a building that felt like it belonged in the community, drawing from forms, facades, and planes around the site inspired a set of building blocks, which were then transformed, subtracted, and modified in ways that created form conditions that best complimented the surrounding areas.
FINAL PARTI These building blocks were then stacked together, each block was assigned a material and slight difference in form, and empty space was filled with reflective glazing that would transform into a large mirror facing the historic community. Using this method, it became apparent that this is what the building had wanted to be all along- a place where history and the future became one.

5TH FLOOR The upper residential floor has 12 units to provide a taper of height from the passageway.
4TH FLOOR Outdoor patios provide entertainment yearround, and in- house.
3RD FLOOR Large community spaces provide an area for events and connection.
2ND FLOOR Residential areas are connected by a long, open corridor. 50% of these units are reserved for low-income residents.
1ST FLOOR A gateway connecting Rhode Island Ave. and Bryant St. Development.

SUSTAINABILITY In my commitment to designing sustainably, I had learned a lot about some of the tools that could be implemented into a building of this climate. Each unit has large, floor-to-ceiling windows in the living space, daylight in all bedrooms, as well as hallways connecting the units. The brick is intended to be recycled from the previously demolished buildings on site. Rainwater collection is used for irrigation and grey water. Energy and water metering are included in each unit, so that residents can track and reduce their usage through awareness.

PROCESS
TEAM EFFORTS The Solace of Reflection, a design for the Fargo- Moorhead Honor Guard, is a space used for funeral ceremonies connected to the Fargo National Cemetery. The month-long competition involved a lot of team work, and the lessons learned from this project are and will continue to be valuable in my career. Teamwork was represented in all areas of the design, including form, artwork, landscape design, and coordination for the presentation of the overall project. 14
DIAGRAMS
INDIVIDUAL EFFORTS My contribution to the project included project management in the form of designating meeting times, assigning individual roles, and creating deadlines to keep the team on track. I also drew initial roof design ideas and iterations, as well as built two physical models, one site model and one building model, to represent our building in front of the judging panel that included the clients and a local architecture firm. 15

FARGO GROWTH PLAN

EXISTING SITE INFORMATION Located in Downtown Fargo, the somewhat empty and abandoned lot nestled between the railroads pleaded to be brought back to life. This city block housed run-down warehouses, excess storage from the railroad including palettes and shipping containers, and empty space just begging to be transformed.

BRANDING A NEIGHBORHOOD The rich history of Fargo, and its strong connection to the railroad became a huge inspiration in the urban planning and branding of this revitalized city block. The Station on University became our approach to creating a new, branded neighborhood that attracts both locals and tourists to the area during all of the seasons of Fargo, ND. Catering to small businesses, many rentable areas can be chosen from and leased at many different time periods. Because of the affordable construction and renovation of previous buildings on site, rent is more attractive to the small business owner, and because of the prime location downtown, it is likely to pay off.
