DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE

PROBLEM STATEMENT
With the population of Tallahassee steadily increasing and the constant influx of young college students, the city needs to accommodate a wide variety of ages and interests. With two major university campuses and a large and popular community college located within the city, college students are eager to spend their time outside of class socializing and interacting with the community and their peers. As the demographics of Tallahassee continue to diversify in age, ethnicity, and culture, the need to bring these groups together is ever increasing. Additionally, as more people settle in the area and begin to start families, the need for a community “hub� becomes greater. Satisfying the needs of a diverse population, Tallahassee needs a space that is safe, accessible , entertaining, and convenient that is well suited for all ages, ethnicities, and cultures.

CASE STUDY 1:
THE STORES
LOCATION: West End, Australia
ARCHITECTS: Cavill Architects, Jasper Brown BUILT: 2015
The client’s brief was to establish a fresh food marketplace, with the highest quality offering. They proposed that the key to the project lay less in the architecture and more in the makeup of the vendors and the genuineness of their operations. A study of various contemporary and historic market precedents led them to identify the attributes to the making of a true market:
By their wholesale and/or temporary nature, markets tend to occupy vacant, paired-back buildings, warehouses or hardstands. Market venues are versatile and utilitarian, remaining undecorated with little effort put into anything other than the marketing of produce. Small and specialist purveyors/producers markets are a destination, they are not heavily branded and signed. The project is sited on a harsh, ex-industrial arterial with few public amenities. Consolidation of the program within the existing structures afforded the opportunity to program “leftover� space. Centered around a central pedestrian thoroughfare, a series of rooms and courtyards form organizational elements and a series of gathering places for the community. Design Implications:

Design of certain spaces can be undecorated allowing for the vendors to determine the atmosphere of the interior
Use minimal branding and signage as to not take away from the overall atmosphere of the space and to encourage visitors to view it as a destination.

CASE STUDY 2:
FUTURO REFEITÓRIO
By definition, adaptive reuse utilizes a formally occupied building for something other than the initial intent. A natural inclination of architects and designers is to try to create a functional space a reasonable cost. However, far too often the cost of restoration and rehabilitation is more than a complete demolition and building new. But, adaptive reuse is not only a way to preserve history through architecture while making it suitable for a modern world, but it often times is a highly sustainable way to make use of existing structures. The project´s main challenge, since the beginning, was to transform an old shed into a restaurant and coffee shop the middle of a block, in Pinheiros, São Paulo. The shed, originally a foundry factory, later a car garage, gave us the chance to work with a lot of original elements, inherited from its previous occupations. Design Implications:
When designing for an adaptive reuse project, utilize existing structures as a benefit to the design
Use forms and materials that nod to the existing structure to uphold the historical or past importance of the building

DESIGN CONCEPT:
CYNOSURE
Through the concept of cynosure, or the center of attention or admiration, the overall design of The Axis will exemplify the notion of bringing a community together. It is built into out genetic makeup to gravitate to other people, to make connections, and to socialize. Even in a world of social media, when we may feel more detached from one another than ever before, we still thrive off human interaction and the need for a common gathering place remains. Acting as a cornerstone of the community, the space will aim to join the city and act as a central hub for all. Not only will the space be a symbolic of the city and community, but the design will employ a central courtyard that radiates off into distinct sections of the building. An intuitive and modern design will help to encourage a sense of community and wellbeing.
7
PROPOSED SOLUTION AND JUSTIFICATION:
As Tallahassee’s population continues to grow and diversify, there is need for a common gathering place that can work to unify the city. The Axis will feature a wide variety of different venues, shops, restaurants, and activities that are well suited for a wide variety of residents and visitors. In addition to creating a highly accessible space, the market will aim to create an environment reflective of the surrounding nature that is usable regardless of time or weather. The design will be kept light and airy, utilizing natural light when possible, and work to bring elements of nature inside. The space will prominently feature a central “park” that acts as the backbone of the building. The shopping, dining, lounging, and entertainment sections of the building will radiate from the middle, essentially creating a city within. Just like a park within a busy city, the space will work to help alleviate the many stressors of everyday life, while providing a fun and safe space for everyone.

CIRCULATION The circulation of the building is a direct product of the efficiently designed interior architecture. It works to encourage visitors to congregate towards the main atrium and disperse from there. Visitors are naturally drawn to the center with food acting as the showcase of the atrium and various retailers and entertainment options. A wide, centrally located staircase allows for easy access to the second floor. CONCEPT STRATEGIES Adhering to the concept of cynosure, the following design strategies were implemented within the space: · Provide a central atrium that radiates outward to the various shops and entertainment options within the building. · Interior architecture encourages an intuitive and easy circulation path. · Bring people together in a centrally located food area to encourage community engagement and interaction amongst people of all ages, ethnicities and backgrounds.
