Harmonic Motion Location: Knoxville, Tennessee Studio: 3rd Year Undergraduate, Marleen Davis Program: Drone Transit Center This project aims to orchestrate existing systems, context, typologies, and emerging technology as a way to define the atmosphere of northern Downtown Knoxville and the surrounding communities. It aims to animate the aural atmosphere of the urban corridor and reach into the skies as we imagine the future of transportation.

This project aims to act as a catalyst for the creation of a connection from the Historic Old City and World’s Fair Park through the extension of existing greenway systems. As cities push for more environmentally friendly alternatives for commuter traffic and continued efforts in public health, greenways act as a way to promote such systems, particularly in decentralized cities such as Knoxville. This idea of connection continues as a form and programmatic influence as the site will be the intersection of pedestrian, vehicular, bus, train, and the proposed drone traffic. Because of the this, site interventions must perform at variety of scales and speeds and respond to existing contextual conditions, while also providing a counter melody that helps invigorate local culture and history. By acting as a centralized pedestrian driven space within the urban context, the proposal aims to create further interest along the Jackson Avenue axis that connects vicariously to market square via the pedestrian friendly urban corridor and to the broader context of the City of Knoxville via greenway. The transit exchange will continue this connection to a broader context using revolutionary drone technology.

After analyzing the public interests in redevelopment in the W Jackson Avenue area, there is an expressed desire for increased public green space, mixed use development, increased parking, and greenway extension. With the surrounding areas already experiencing reinvigoration through renovation and new construction, West Jackson Avenue provides a logical landscape to continue this progress both architecturally and culturally. Hoping to connect with the North Gay Arts District, the site provides an exemplary opportunity to provide a display and interactive creation space as well as providing a location for local makers to display and sell their work. These can also act as generalized individual retail space, like a farmers’ market, or simply being green space.

Along a stepped amphitheater space, groups such as the

Knoxville Symphony Orchestra, local school bands, or buskers can perform in a informal music in the park style environment.

Located just across the intersection at Jackson and Gay, at the Emporium Center, are the primary offices for the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra. Bordering the site are both the North Gay Arts district and the Dogwood Arts District which is going to help define the decision making process on site.

This intersection of the visual arts and music will help connect the site to existing context while attempting to amplify the existing systems.

When looking at the site, one of the prominent drivers for form is the slope of Jackson Avenue as it runs along the edge of the southeastern border of the site. To engage this, a parking podium could be used to discretely provide automated parking that elevates the ground plane to allow for engagement of the street along that edge of the site. The site then connects to the lower elevation of Jackson Avenue as it relates to Jackson Terminal and the higher elevation where it connects to Gay Street. On top of this parking podium, mixed use development could be used to provide experiential conditions much like that of market square just a few blocks away.

The greenway which would run along the train tracks to the north of the site would connect the greenways and bike lanes to the north east of the site in the Magnolia area to the World’s Fair Park, which would inherently connect to the larger system of greenways west of downtown. Along with these, facilities for bicycle storage and associated spaces for the personal cleansing spaces would be located within the larger transit exchange.

Location: Seven Sites Across Seven Climate Zones Studio: 3rd Year Undergraduate, Hansjörg Göritz Contributor: Rose Crawford Program: Studioli ad Loca The task of the studio was to envision a bare minimum universal retreat typology adaptable to specifics of multiple places.

As such, we were given seven sites arcross seven climate zones that would later to be used to test the adaptability of the proposal to on-site climate conditions. An emphasis was placed on the tactile and the minimal nature of the humble abode, while reconciling with the prospect that these must be mass producable. Work was divided into 7 phases: Proto-Agenda, Fundamentals, Proto-Components, Proto-Typologies, Proto-Structures, Proto-Places, and the Conclusion

Loinen Location: Helsinki, Finland Studio: Summer Following 3rd Year, Mark Stanley and Micah Rutenburg Contributor: Isabel Evans “The parasite lived in the corners of others” An investigation into the commensal nature of the loinen people in the 1800’s Finnish landscape and their embodiment of characteristics embedded in the social structures of the people. Loinen, as a social parasite that lives off of the benevolence of others, begins to find home in a more modernized world as a group of individuals leeching off of benevolent legal ambiguity. “Every Man’s Right,” at this end, represents a way for a parasitic people to live in the corners of others, making appearances in what is left: benign facades, hidden landscapes, back alleys, and the underground. They act as embellished version of the Finnish people, with an outcome that is independent and isolationist.

The Biotic Machine Location: San Francisco, California Studio: 2nd Year Studio, Brian Ambrosiak Contributor: Rose Crawford, Sarina Hermanto, and Keith Carter Program: Center for the World Health Organization This design serves as a collector of biotic and abiotic data sets which have an influence on the quality of human life. We imagine the architecture to be alive and alternatively mechanical. The design is about finding a synthesis between the coolness of technology and the heat of the human body which we define as the future of human health.

Thus, the evolution of the site is just as important as the design of the building itself. The building, elevated above the landscape, creates space for both technology and nature to thrive. It is a machine of observation that provides opportunities to be observed. The conservation, nurturing, and cohabitation of nature and human relations are of the utmost importance to the functioning of the machine.
