The Balloon Hoax The University of Virginia has a special, historic dorm on campus that once held the world renowned writer, Edgar Allen Poe. The site of this project is the front lawn in front of his dorm building.

This new building is to have a place for The Raven Society to meet and publicly read their poems.

The form of the building came from one of Poe’s newspaper articles, now known as The Balloon Hoax. This a story of a hot air balloon traveling across the Atlantic Ocean in three days. The interesting part of the story is this wasn’t done for another 75 years. The newspaper had to retract the story and apologize for spreading the false news story.

The building is floating above a underground plaza area with views of the dorm behind.

The William Whyte experiment William Whyte is labelled as an American urbanist. While working with The New York City Planning Commission, he created a video to show his findings of social observation in the city called The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces. This work inspired my project to re-amp this idea to the 21st Century. With the addition of advanced technologies, we could track more efficiently and track use of personal technology.

Two barges will travel along the Australian Coast with a research barge following. The research barge will host 50 researchers of various degree to track the citizens that interact with the plaza barges. The bulk of the project was focused on the researchers’ barge and their living and working environments.

This is the main control center used by the head researcher and graduate assistants. This gives them a view of all the test areas on the plaza barges. This area also allows them to talk to the undergraduate assistants working on the barges.

The barges are set to take a tour around the Australian coast. The cities visited are some of the most populated cities in the country. This allows the barges to receive large masses of people to experience the obscure plaza barges docked on their waterfront.

Research Barge The focus of my project is on a barge that is not only a research facility, but also a living space for up to 50 researchers at time. This barge is the main hub for researching two plaza barges. These plaza barges were inspired by the works of William Whyte, a sociologist focused on how people move through urban environments.

Two Plaza Barges These barges will be the test facilities for the researchers. They will be designed to have reprogrammable elements such as an Ampitheatre, a Water Feature, and a Cafe. There will be permanent structures built for researchers to secretly watch and record data while they are working.

RESEARCHER’S MAIN LINE OF SIGHT

Two plaza barges will serve as the areas of research. These areas will not only be equipped with cameras for surveillance but also will have undergraduate researchers taking notes. There will also be data taken by chair sensors, location tracking wristbands, and Wi-Fi Data.

Water Remediation Center The Water Remediation Center is located in Braddock Pennsylvania, which is the historic area that first started using the Bessemer Process. This is the process that actually allowed steel to be mass produced. With this industry came pollution.

Up until the Clean Water Act of 1972, this pollution continued to pollute the water of Braddock.

The Water Remediation Center is a museum and research center that teaches the Pittsburgh area about it’s historic roots and also teaches them what they can do to restore their water back to normal. This site includes rain water collection and filtration systems that clean up the sites water. When the area is not raining, the system pumps water from the river and lets it flow through the same system to clean the river water. This system allows the researchers to apply their research to their own site.

In a town that has largely contributed to water pollution because of industrial production, this project seeks out to inform people about the history of the steel industry. It is a museum for the history of steel and will serve as a teacher for future generations.

Parking Reclamation Parking Reclamation demolishes a very large parking garage next to The University of Tennessee’s two stadiums and instead creates a park that allows one to walk from campus down to the river. The river in Knoxville has very limited access and what better place to give than the university.

Instead of only creating a park and losing a full parking garage, which is a big commodity on college campuses, there is a underground parking garage that actually would increase the amount of spaces by a few hundred. This underground infrastructure also includes a train tunnel and a three lane road with shifting lanes. This not only allows for a continuous walk from campus to the river but also will help regulate traffic after events around this area.

With the temperate temperature in Knoxville, events could be held year round. These events could include trade shows, concerts, weddings, marathons or triathelon, etc. This park has a variety of different spaces and could accomidate almost all outdoor events.

Since there is only three college stadiums accessible by water in the United States, the university will create a dock to allow easy access. This will also improve the campus’ appearance from the river which is currently lacking with the above ground parking garage.

Instead of completely getting rid of parking by the stadium, which is a big commodity on a college campus, there is a underground parking garage that allows direct access from the top of the stadium to the river. This underground infrastructure also includes two tunnels: the train tunnel and a three lane car tunnel.
