NASHVILLE URBAN DESIGN SUMMER PROGRAM 2015

NASHVILLE URBAN DESIGN PROGRAM SUMMER 2015 at the Nashville Civic Design Center Thomas K. Davis, Professor and Nashville Summer Program Director PROGRAM OVERVIEW During Summer 2015, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville College of Architecture and Design THE NASHVILLE CIVIC DESIGN CENTER PROGRAM CURRICULUM Summer Session One was comprised of ten students enrolled in ARCH 483: Urban Design Vertical Studio.

This course addresses urban design projects responding to specific Greater Nashville conditions, with exploration of urban issues in understanding and making the city’s architecture. Student investigations analyze cultural, physical and environmental influences on architectural form, space and structure. Summer Session Two was ARCH 465: Directed Research. With a faculty member’s scholarship, each student works on a specific topic or project related to that faculty member’s area of expertise, research, scholarship, or creative activity. The product seeks to become a publication OVERNIGHT FIELD TRIP One of the highlights of the Urban Design Program is an overnight field trip to Columbus, Indiana, long considered a North American mecca of modern architecture and modernist landscape, as well as a vibrant “Main Street.”

T C A C A M P U S D E V E L O P M E N T D E S I G N P R O B L E M S TAT E M E N T This project was undertaken as an outstanding teaching and learning opportunity, and as an advocacy for the site’s ambitious future design and development as urban architecture.

As an urban design studio, ten students worked in teams of two to produce five alternative hypothetical designs for a phased, long range Tennessee Concrete Association (TCA) Headquarters and Campus Development. The site is located at 700 Hamilton Avenue, in the rapidly developing Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood of Nashville. These projects benefited from the zoning analysis and master plan study by the distinguished firm Bauer Askew Architecture PLLC, which has been professionally engaged by the TCA. The urban design studio, based at the Nashville Civic Design Center (NCDC) over ten weeks during Summer 2015, provided precedent research on issues, opportunities, and examples involving the innovative design of reinforced concrete. Indeed, this high visibility site within close proximity to I-65 should be considered a “campus,” exemplifying state-of-the-art sophisticated expression in reinforced concrete, as well as aspiring to a very high level of sustainability and resilience. It also should reflect best practices in urban design development within its emerging innovation, or “maker” neighborhood context. Each team of students proposed a master plan consisting of non-contingent, phased development should be proposed, and then designed at an architectural scale of consideration.

The final product of the urban design studio included three design reviews engaging TCA leadership, as well as other design and development expertise.

In addition to significant faculty time, the enrolled students were expected to work on the project a total of almost 2,250 hours. The urban design studio meets eight hours per day, and five days per week during the ten-week period.

During the second five weeks of the summer program, the remaining six enrolled students polished and packaged the design work, including hypothetical assumptions regarding each project’s LEED Certification “scorecard,” as well as the diagrams, precedents and alternatives that led to the designs. A narrative text accompanies the images in this publication.

The Tennessee Concrete Association established the following priorities: “One: Provide a functional space for TCA’s normal operations. Basic office needs for staff (currently two full time, one part time) can be satisfied with 1,200 – 1,500 s.f., including reception space, three private offices, work room, kitchen space, and a small meeting room (ten people maximum). Our other need for space is access to a meeting room that will seat up to 40-50 people and provide for easy configuration for groups of different sizes—this could be satisfied as shared conference/training room for other tenants.

Two: All development should highlight the intelligent, sustainable use of ready mix concrete for as many applications as possible – everything from site development to construction, to interior finishes and exterior hardscaping. TCA wants to achieve an extraordinary level of recognized sustainable development such as LEED Platinum and/or certification under the Living Building Challenge.

Three: The development should take many different forms and does not necessarily need to follow the concepts developed in the Bauer Askew master plan. Whatever takes shape needs to make financial sense both in terms of construction costs and operational considerations and should provide long-term financial stability to TCA. Four: The concept of creating a working community focused on sustainability is an important underlying goal of TCA. The ideal development plan will focus on this community aspect.

Five: Consideration should be given to a development plan that can be completed in phases. Given TCA’s status as a small non-profit, this will enhance TCA’s ability to actually execute and build out future development while minimizing risk and market exposure.”

“The Secret Formula for Creating a Makers District” Written by Thomas Frey

The demise of local retail stores has been painful to watch. Empty storefronts and weed-infested parking lots (Source: www.futuristspeaker.com/2015/03/blue-print- has been painful to watch. So if I told you there was an immediate way to turn this around, would that catch your attention? for-a-makers-district) The whole transformation in thinking started with a short visit on Saturday to “The Source,” an artisan food market inside a former 1880’s brick foundry in Denver’s River North District.

Located far away from most retail, I quickly became enamored with how this eclectic mix of 15 shops could attract a packed house on a cold wintery day in February to an industrial part of town.

This brief experience caused me to spend countless hours over the following days researching similar developments around the country. For me, the collision course of intersecting trends in retail has been a full-blown obsession. (Just for the record, obsessions are underrated.)

To summarize briefly: The first shopping mall was born in Edina, MN in 1956. After peaking in 1990, there have been no malls built in the U.S. since 2006.

Big-box retailing was born in 1962. That’s the year when Wal-mart, K-Mart and Target all opened their first big stores. After 50 years of putting mom and pops out of business, big-box retailing is now struggling.

In 1994, Jeff Bezos launched Amazon as an online bookseller. Twenty years later it has emerged as the primary reason big-box stores are shutting down.

In 2005, MAKE Magazine published its first issue, signaling the beginning of the makers movement. Words like “handcrafted,” “home gown,” “authentic,” and “artisinal original,” suddenly enters the public lexicon.

With the retail stores closing, consumers are left with fewer options for out-of-the-home forms of entertainment, and a pent-up demand for meaningful experiences.

The collision course of trends is creating the perfect storm for the next retail revolution- Maker Districts.

A maker district can be best described as a cross between an artist colony, farmer’s market, woodworking shop, music festival, bakery, brewpub, and brainstorming session all happening in the same place. It’s all that and more.

Here’s why I see Maker Districts entering your lives in a big way.

Planning a Maker District It’s no longer good enough to see a painting, people want to witness the artist painting it! Being “Authentic” goes far deeper than buying a limited edition copy “signed by the artist.”

Walking through an active, vibrant shopping district where people are baking bread, spinning pottery, brewing beer, making jewelry, cutting and designing stained glass, decorating cakes, molding with pewter, and sculpting with clay, will give every visitor their own one-of-a kind experience.

In addition to the sights and smells, having musicians performing mood-stirring music will help establish a different character and flavor with every visit.

In this environment, creative people are both the entertainment and the proprietors of the shops.

RESEARCH

2.1

Not only will this be a showcase for talent, it will attract audiences that are creative as well.

Makers Take Center Stage All of the shops in a Maker District need to support the idea of “making the products being sold.” Small, intimate storefronts ranging from 600 to 1,600 square feet, built around niche verticals will enable them to focus their resources.

Every storefront needs to be a local enterprise. No franchises or national brands.

Restaurants will be the anchor tenants, and various other food shops will add essential ingredients to the mix. Freshly made food helps intensify the smells and ambiance of the shopping experience of the shopping experience. Possible food-related shops may include: • • • • • • • • • •

Restaurants Cookie shops Home made candy shops Home made ice cream Pretzel shops Bread bakeries Donut and sweet roll bakeries Meat markets Fudge shops Custom health food makeries

In addition to restaurants and food shops, there should be a number of drink shops ranging from coffee shops to breweries. Options in this area will include: • • • • • •

Coffee roaster, brewers Tea cutters, brewers, and mixers Smoothie and protein drinks Hand crafter beers Cideries Distilleries

Legalized marijuana states like Colorado and Washington will soon see similar prohibition-ending efforts spreading across the nation. This will open the door for shops such as: • • • •

Artisan marijuana Weederies Food lacing shops Custom edibles

In addition to consumables, creators of any number of hand-made products will find a welcome reception in this environment.

Custom one-of-a-kind furniture Artisan clocks and timepieces Jewelry makers – rings, earrings, and necklaces Clothing, scarves, caps, ponchos, and headbands Custom made shoes Musical instruments

• • •

Handbags, backpacks, and carrying cases Clay sculptures, bronze sculptures, and etchings Pottery, basket weaving, and woodworking

Adding to the mix will be next generation hyper-personalized product makers.

As an example, BoXZY just introduced an unusual fabrication machine with 3D printer, and a laser engraver.

The CNC mill can shave and refine aluminum, hardwood, and plastic into small intricate deign, while the 3D printer can fabricate many complex shapes. The laser engraver is perfect for searing names, logos, and even photos into wood, cardboards, leather, and plastic.

Support Services Complementary to the maker community on the main floor, will be a variety of support services that can be added to 2nd and 3rd floors of the building. These might include Designer and fabricator services Architects, landscape designers and interior decorators Maker spaces and other educational support facilities Co-working and business colonies

Final Thoughts Talent attracts talent, and creative genius will inspire other creative genius.

Even though a newly opened Maker District will have merchants scrambling to make their businesses operational, they will also be inspiring a new generation of young people with their energy, focus and enthusiasm.

Maker Districts will be the community catalysts for a host of other ventures. Creative people provide the spark of imagination, and local evangelists will help promote ingenuity and inspiration to virtually every other aspect of the community. A sleepy, uninspired town can be instantly transformed into a community known for its brilliance. Out of every Maker District will come the uniqueness that every town, village, and city has been seeking.

Most of the elements already exist. The breakthrough innovation of a Maker District will be in how they are incentivized and assembled into a highly respected place in their community.

PROJECTS

The TCA headquarters current site houses a collection of many different types of concrete. This is a product of the TCA’s willingness to house demonstrations and educate the community on the many aspects of concrete.

Through their many demonstrations, they have developed a site which constitutes a culmination of time, effort, and different types of concrete. It was through viewing this process of creation, that led to a place which could alter and develop over time. The landscape is developed as a grid where each grid space can change depending how the TCA wishes to use it.

Likewise, we wanted this idea of development and change to be a primary element on, and in, the buildings. With art instillations rotating frequently and different programs offered weekly, the buildings and how they are viewed change with time both inside and out. As a whole, the site will become a place of spontaneity and excitement where people will want to come and be a participant.

LLC. These boundaries gave us the opportunity to make a connection. By creating a pedestrian connection from Fort Negley Court to Hamilton Avenue, we were able activate the whole site by giving people multiple entries and exits. Also, in providing a pedestrian bridge over the railway, we created a pedestrian connection into the Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood, and strengthened our site as a node to the area.

RECONSTRUCTION

The initial concept for the site never changed. It was always about keeping a large central garden space.

Each building had the same concept: to dematerialize the inside to outside.

PROJECTS

Keeping process work was very important as it allowed us to look back on what we did to help inform us what worked, and what didn’t work.

A key part of the design process was the reconstruction of the design after the first critique.

Directly off Hamilton Avenue, you are greeted by the office building court and lobby. The building’s facade is composed of a light concrete frame, green windows, and stainless steel panels. The purpose of the facade was to highlight the

concrete frame and direct you into the exterior lobby.

Upon entering the campus, you are invited by an extensive garden culminating with an orchard and water feature. To the left is the TCA lab demonstration space where many different

activities occur. To the right is the apartment building that highlights the balconies of each resident. Lastly, located on the far right of the site, cyprus trees help to shield the noise of the railway, and a pedestrian bridge extends over the railway.

Upon entering the site, you are first exposed to the office building. The gathering space under the bridge houses two exterior, glass encased, concrete, monumental stairs. These serve almost as a gateway into the garden space and the ampitheatre.

When entering the site from Fort Negley Court, you are first introduced to the TCA lab building. This building is adorned with grooved concrete and structured with single Ts. Next to the lab space, the pergola walkway interjects into Fort Negley. This waltkway carries all the way through to Hamilton Avenue. The highlight of the garden is also located on

this end of the site. The orchard with its water feature and art piece fit right in with the scale and space. Without it, the space would not be complete and would not carry the same weight as it does now. To the left of the garden is the apartment building. This building was designed to showcase different aspects of concrete at the same time. Entire walls

without openings highlight the size and beauty of concrete, the narrow slits represent a formal order concrete can conform to, and the frame shows how concrete can be just as beautiful even while being structure only.

Once under the pergola, the scale is intensfied. Being 10’ x 10’ x 20’ allows for a scale to be almost overwhelming.

It also allows for the views of and around to site to be unblocked by the roof of the pergola.

When in the garden and looking back toward Hamilton Avenue, you will be able to see the difference in scale the building holds. The building holds a commanding presence on the site, and the ampitheatre does a good job of allowing the space to flow.

You have the frame showcased by the office building, the wall with punched opening showcased by the apartment building, and you have the blank wall also showcased by the apartment building. The row of cyprus trees helps to block the sound coming from the railway, and

also helps to reinforce the Hamilton level across the site as do the pergola and green screens.

In the sections the level of Hamilton is carried across through the site. The top floor of the office building is slightly offset to provide

more views from the central conference room. The offset also makes the entrance into the site more inviting by allowing more light to penetrate into the lobby spacemaking it feel warm instead of dark and cold.

This shows the difference in size from the east side of the site to the west side of the site.

Explore the use of concrete and take advantage of unique and dynamic qualities.

Serve as a model of sustainability and design for future developments in the state to follow.

Integrate landscape elements in all aspects of the program and design.

SCOPE AND PROGRAM SUMMARY The arrangement of concrete elements in the existing TCA site is a product of spontaneous experimentation and education. The site will change over time as the needs of the office building tenants and residents evolve.

Art installations will change with the seasons, and the reflections of visitors’ faces in the garden’s sculpture pool will change with each day. This idea of change informed the design in the use of materials and elements that would change with weather, time and human manipulation. Exposed concrete, copper, irregular and operable windows, greenery, sun-shades, operable panels and other innovative technologies will give the site a unique identity and ensure the space activates the surrounding community. Pathways in the lower gardens alternate glimpses of sculpture and open up to pockets of void in the gridded orchard of cypress. Every space was designed with consideration given to the experience that it would render its inhabitants and passersby.

a large surface parking lot servicing Enterprise Electric, LLC. The multi-colored freight cars of passing trains were an inspiration for the use of shipping containers on the eastern facade of the seven-story residential tower; it also served as the primary influence for the form of the rail-side music cafe and contemporary art museum where local Nashville artists are invited to share their talents with the community.

The anchor of the site is the Tennessee Concrete Association Building, whose four stories of individual and collaborative workspace float above glass-encased retail space on the street level. Dynamism, flow, movement, and change are all apparent in both the design and use of the site. The building’s biggest asset might be its stunning views of the evolving downtown Nashville skyline.

SITE ORGANIZATION

The initial round of sketches incorporated the program outlined by the Bauer Askew site plan - building on main ideas layed out in the firm’s design.

As the project evolved from a purely two dimensional representation of ideas into the framework of what would eventually become the primary diagram of the project, the form of the buildings began to take shape and the main concepts of the project became evident.

PROJECTS

This was followed up by more detailed ideas of what the program and site plan was lacking and ways to create a unified campus using simple diagramming techniques and beginning to find regulating lines to inform the design.

In the final sketches, floor plates began to have a clear organization and programmatic pieces evolved from a series of layers into a more complete synergy that worked together in a spatial and functional way.

CONCEPT

The primary objective of this project is to create a place where people can connect, collaborate, and create. Ranging all the way from office workers to artisans, the design utilizes spaces to encourage people to start creating as well as continue to further their trades. The client, the Tennessee Concrete Association, desires to have a multipurpose site that includes housing, rentable retail / office space, as well as an office space for themselves on site.

In addition, the design of the surrounding landscape also acts as a transitional space to show the contrast between the hardscape of the concrete and the soft greenery. The landscaping also helps to serve as an on-site demonstration space for TCA so that they can continue to experiment and show all of the things that can be done with concrete.

SCOPE AND PROGRAM SUMMARY Located in the Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood of Nashville, the site is in an up-and-coming maker’s district. This is an appropriate place for the TCA Headquarters to be, as they make all of their concrete demonstration panels on-site. The variety of the panels ranges from the common grey concrete that everyone knows all the way to colored and “wood stamped” concrete. TCA embodies what it means to be in the maker district and to create.

strong bonds, and learning from other artisans.

The boundaries of the site are marked to the north by Fort Negley Court, to the south by Hamilton Avenue, a railroad track to the east, and a surface parking lot belonging to Enterprise Electric, LLC. to the west.

Within walking distance there are plenty of activities to keep residents entertained, as well as to provide employment. Just to name a few, residents can enjoy food of multiple cultures, experience local music, and take a stroll through local galleries.

SITE PLAN

FORT NEGLE

Y COURT

With Hamilton being a high-traffic roadway for the site, the design utilizes an offset between the two buildings and a large green space in order to welcome passersby to come and experience the site.

Once inside the courtyard located between the two masses, one can sit, rest, and enjoy time on the soft, grass-covered amphitheater seating. One can also enjoy “Flash Markets” that can be held weekly, monthly, or even yearly. The fun outside does not end there, however, because at night the amphitheater seating can be used for screenings of movies or as a place to sit and look up at the artificial “stars” that have been strung on cables across from one mass to the other.

Along with being in walking distance of many fun activities and restaurants, the site is within close proximity to two bus stops located on Hamilton Avenue and Chestnut Street. This allows for the residents to have less of a need for a car and for anyone working in the TCA office or rental spaces to commute to work without having to use a car.

With two double-height floors, the rental space for retail or other offices is approximately 24,000 sf. The space is subdivided into bays that are approximately 40’ x 50’ in dimension.

Due to construction methods, the client, depending on the

PROJECTS

amount of space they would require, would have the option to occupy one or two of these bays. The types of companies that could occupy these spaces could range anywhere from favorite local

cafes, to other business offices, or drug/general stores. By allowing for multiple types of businesses to occupy these spaces, the design will allow for a self-sustaining community to be more feasible.

FORT NEGLEY COURT SECTION

The Fort Negley Court section shows the relationship between the two buildings and how they interact with one another. It also shows the way in which the courtyard transi-

tions one from Hamilton Avenue to the hardscape of concrete garages have attached to them living green walls in order to pavers to Fort Negley Court. The section also demonstrates shield occupants from the sight of cars as well as to create how the naturally ventilated parking garages will work. Both an intriguing visual element to look at.

PARKING WORKPLACE 4,300 s.f. Office @ 3 spaces per 1,000 s.f. = 13 required spaces 24,000 s.f. Retail @ 3 spaces per 1,000 s.f. = 72 required spaces

Total of 134 parking spaces required for residential and office / rental space. Seventy-two (72) spaces are dedicated to the office / rental side of the site while the remaining 62 are dedicated to the residential side of the site. Along with parking for the office / retal space, there is space allocated for product drop off for any foreseeable retail spaces.

RESIDENTIAL 10 Two Bedroom Units x 2 spaces per unit = 20 required spaces 10 One Bedroom Units x 1 space per unit = 10 required spaces

PROJECTS

Total 30 required residential parking spots out of the 62 total spaces in the Residential garage. This leaves 32 spaces remaining for potential overflow parking for the retail side, guests of residents, maintenance workers, etc.

The image also shows the relation of the site to the surrounding buildings. To the eastern side of the site there is a grove of trees to help buffer the sound of passing trains.

FORT NEGLEY COURT AERIAL

An aerial view from Fort Negley Court looking down upon the demonstration courts shows the space where TCA will be able to create their concrete pavers. These pavers will show all the things that can be done with concrete.

The image shows the “star lines” of cables with small lights that will be spanned over the top of the courtyard from building to building. These “star lines” will help to create the ambiance of a star filled sky, something that is not easily done in the downtown area.

HAMILTON AVENUE CONTEXT PERSPECTIVE

This perspective shows the relation of the proposed design to the heart of downtown Nashville. The site is very close to 8th Avenue South, which is located to the west.

HAMILTON AVENUE PLAZA ENTRY

PERSPECTIVE

As one enters the proposed design from Hamilton Avenue they encounter a large plaza space to sit and relax and have the ability to look down into the courtyard. The viewer is also able to see the bridges that connect the two buildings allowing the residents access to the roof terraces, gym, or any retail space that may be in one of the rentable spaces.

COURTYARD DEMONSTRATION PERSPECTIVE

TCA HEADQUARTERS + CAMPUS DEVELOPMENT DIAGRAMS + SITE ANALYSIS SUBLEVEL TWO

Sub-level two is accessed from Fort Negley Court off Fort Negley Boulevard. Access is made through the north end of the site, with nine surface parking spaces adjacent. One-way traffic signs direct traffic flow toward the entry and exit with the aid of ramps to the level above.

This level's center courtyard opens into the TCA and residents’ own demonstration, exhibition, and sculpture garden area. The passively-ventilated workspace opens front to back onto this space. In the area between the buildings, just under the stairs, are water-collecting cisterns for harvesting site storm-water and reuse for site garden irrigation. Accentuated by a channel of water cascading step by step down from the Hamilton Avenue level, the centrally located exhibition seating allows for parking near events to enter from sub-level one and two.

Each workspace has adjacent parking along the perimeter of the building, as well as parking nearest Hamilton Avenue’s mixed-use office and retail spaces. Sub-level one and two level use a sequence of vertical exterior screen walls vegetated with ivy to soften the parking structure and conceal the presence of cars behind. Stairs and elevators take occupants to the floors above.

MAIN LEVEL AT HAMILTON AVE

The parking levels feature bike storage, misculaneaous storage, changing rooms and recycling.

The main level of TCA-WL/2P is located on Hamilton Avenue. One can arrive there by bus, foot, bicycle, or car. The proposed design intent was to maximize street frontage for potential tenant exposure and to transition layering of the street to the building. Parking is in the rear. From the sidewalk, pedestrians cross over two bridges to an open covered plaza surrounded by retail and office space. Symmetrically dividing the plaza and bringing focus to the living space is a channel of water that cascades down to the lower levels. Beyond this area, moving towards the rear of the site, are 12 - 2,1OO s.f. two-plus-two flex units or 24 two bedroom 1,050 s.f. units to potentially create more variable living options. Access to and from the other floors is via stairs and elevators.

Existing TCA site, June 2, 2015

Existing TCA slope onto the site from Hamilton Avenue.

PROJECTS

This proposal for TCA’s campus contains three main sectors: co-housing, market style offices and retail, and training spaces with workshops and labs. The campus proposal is meant to strengthen the TCA organization and give them a state of the art facility to allow them to grow and have the space and technology to create and test their concrete creations. The Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood is the main community surrounding the site, which features a wide assortment of young artists and musicians. The neighborhood also participates in a monthly First Saturday event, where different members

of the community come together and visit the various studios with work on display.

TCA HEADQUARTERS + CAMPUS DEVELOPMENT DIAGRAMS + SITE ANALYSIS

NEIGHBORHOOD + WALKABILITY TCA’s site on Fort Negley is at the center of Nashville ‘s growth and development. It is roughly a 10-minute walk to the outskirts of the Wedge-wood Houston studios, and a 7- minute walk to the former Sounds Baseball Stadium.

AERIAL VIEW OF SITE The overall feel of the campus should be engaging, and allow members to share ideas and works, while working and living within the campus. Workers and residents travel from the lab spaces, to the offices, and shoppers travel through the breezeway out to the outdoor lawns, viewing the artists at work. Residents make use of the roof farming spaces as an economical way to produce food.
