COMPASS: THE JULIA CARSON COMMUNITY CENTER INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA

The Julia Carson Community Center is named after the second African-American voted into the U.S. Congress from the state of Indiana. Her efforts in community development and her affectionate love for helping others have left a lasting impression in the hearts of the citizens of Indianapolis. Located in her community, COMPASS will be the beginning of a new era for the neighborhood, helping to point it in the right direction. Placed into a struggling area district, the center will provide community shelter, after school tutoring and sports activities, counseling, a small library, job fairs, community clean-up efforts, and provide temporary housing units for struggling families. The overall design of the building reflects the historical character of the community and is similar massing to the structures around it. The roof of the building undulates in response to Fall Creek, located just to the south of the site. Carefully massed facades keep in scale with the housing across the street from the facility, and help to break-up the building into a visually appropriate scale. Large overhangs and adjustable shading devices help to mitigate solar gains while carefully crafted windows and monitors bring light into the interior. COMPASS will be a cornerstone investment opportunity for the community, and will establish social and economic ties with community leaders throughout the city to bring about reinvestment into the inner city, starting right here in this neighborhood.

THE WHARF AT SULPHER DELL NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE

Imagine cycling with a group of friends along the Music City Bikeway through Sulphur Dell’s urban, mixeduse neighborhood after celebrating a Sounds winning game. Park your bikes at one of many convenient bike racks and stroll along the Cumberland Riverfront, savoring the aroma of hotdogs, listening to live music and capturing spectacular views of the river. The new Sulphur Dell is an urban, mixed-use neighborhood that will build on the original industrial design and incorporate modern building typologies. Sulphur Dell is a sustainable live, work, play, and healthy ecodistrict. Bioswales and street trees are integrated into the street design. The Germantown character vibrates through Sulphur Dell, creating a ripple effect that will attract young professionals, new families and Sounds baseball fans who desire a community with innovate design, transit-oriented development, public green spaces and an accessible location near Nashville’s downtown. The community’s thriving culture creates connections, with a foundation of resiliency and a mission of healthy living. Sulphur Dell development involves investment from both the public and private sectors. Projections for Nashville’s office and housing markets are positive, and continued population growth is expected. New residents and visitors require amenities, employment, and infrastructure. The goals for the development are connections to other Nashville neighborhoods, physical and emotional health of the residents and visitors, and resilient design to sustain the community. To provide for the needs of the neighborhood, we propose a public/ private partnership with the Metropolitan Government of Nashville-Davidson County for public spaces.

THE NATIONAL TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION COMMISSION NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK

Remember 9/11 and how we all felt that horrible day?

2,977 people lost their lives from the horrible events of that day. And so, as a memorial to those who died, the Truth and National Reconciliation Commission will stand as a center for peace and place for people to settle their differences. Constructed on the site of the World Trade Center, the building will be covered in 2,977 windows, one for each life lost, so that the memory of the light of their lives lost will shine on New York in the honor. The simplicity of the design is meant to not clutter the mind but allow the occupants a greater chance for reflection. The suken entrance to the building is suppose to bring awareness to one’s position in life, and be a humbling experience. As both a memorial and a center for justice, the building will provide New York City the opportunity to invite people and cultures to come and settle their differences in hopes that the events of 9/11 will never be repeated.

HOPKINS CHAPEL BEDFORD, INDIANA

Hopkins Chapel is a place of retreat and contemplation.

The facility focuses on a minimalistic design, and is composed of earthy and natural materials. The limestone walls are leftover stone from the old Indiana Limestone Company quarry, in which the chapel is located. The surface of the limestone has been sanded to a smooth matte finish with no grout lines to reflect the walls of the quarry, and make up the entire width of the wall so the stone you see on the exterior is the same piece as the interior. Throughout the building is a glazing system built of horizontal layers of structural glass. Finished also with a smooth matte finish, the glazing’s horizontally expresses the buildings relationship with the earth, and will help to spread defuse light throughout the interior. A smooth flagstone-type flooring extends throughout the landscape and interior of the building. Inside, the chapel has been left intentionally unfurnished except for a natural wood bench and coat hanger recessed on each side of the entry. The interior walls are made of horizontal naturally finished wood harvested from the site during construction. The ceiling of the facility is also naturally finished boards with a reveal between each board. This reveal is where lights, sprinklers, smoke detectors, and the HVAC systems are hidden from the main surface of the ceiling. Located in the center of the chapel is a skylight, the only source of direct light in the room. The design of the skylight has drawn back its edges, so no matter how it is viewed, the edge of the glass can never been seen, giving the impression of an open sky. The roof overhangs the building significantly, and is finished with a brushed cool gray metal soffit that represents the earthiness from whence it came. The roof of the building collects rainwater and spectacularly ejects it from the roof and down into the quarry shaft adjacent to the facility.

ST. CROIX MARINE RESEARCH CENTER SALT RIVER BAY, ST. CROIX

The St. Croix Marine Ecological Research Center is focused around outdoor activities and research.

The facility is the hub of research and academic activities, where science and the classroom can meet. The center of the site is a swimming pier where research and leisure coexist in one space. From there, buildings radiate outward to catch daylight and breezes. The entire facility is designed as an energy harvester from wind turbines to solar pv panels and solar hot water systems. A living machine will recycle gray water and reduce the overall demand while the roof of each building collects rain water. The main lab is centered around a courtyard where easy access to the dock gives ample opportunity for research, leisure, and community outreach activities. Housing is located adjacent to the community, allowing students and faculty to engage in the local culture. As both a research and educational facility, the campus provides quality working space and a great cultural experience. The facility will not only be a display of sustainable practices, but also focuses on sustainable research opportunities. Fresh water for the aquariums is collected on-site, and the facility has the capability of producing its own salt water. Extensive filtration and quality control monitors will ensure that any discharge water is of equal acidity and salt content to minimize the impact it has on the local bay.

AERONAUTICAL DISASSEMBLY AND RESEARCH FACILITY INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA

Have you ever wondered what happens to a retired aircraft? Especially the commercial airliners? Well, many end up in the desert, useless and abandoned.

But why? Few facilities exist to disassemble an aircraft, but those that do rip and shred the airplane into useless chunks of scrap material. Why not recycle parts just the way they are? Commercial airliners are assembled similarly to cars, right on an assembly line, albeit, a slightly bigger one. With all their premade component technologies integrated into the construction of an aircraft, why not simply reverseconstruct the plane? The Aircraft Fleet Recycling Association has already set goals and standards for aircraft disassembly, but why not go further? In business, money is everything, and an aircraft’s scrap value alone does not justify the cost of cutting it apart. So how does one overcome this? By producing an environment that encourages the creative reuse of airplane parts and materials for manufacturing products and incorporating them into architectural design, decommissioned aircraft would have enough value to economically justify their disassembly. A zerowaste disassembly plant would provide refurbished airworthy parts back to airlines, provide raw materials for an on-site manufacturing facility, and ensure everything is recycled. Also, an education, training, and research facility would incubate entrepreneurs, provide a platform of opportunity to researchers, and be the center of the discussion for spearheading efforts of sustainability after the useful life of aircraft.

By establishing and added value to the process, this facility makes possible the tools, space, and leadership needed to create and establish new uses for aerospace technologies. The aim of this facility is to be a platform where all the other projects in this book become possible, by providing the opportunity and means for their construction.

Using Dorst’s theory on the process of design thinking, we can establish a set of guidelines for establishing a business model for the disassembly and reuse of aeronautical technologies.

The argument can be framed with Dorst’s equation “What plus How leads to Value.” If we establish a new industry standard for complete zero-waste recycling of aircraft as the value, we can use the working principles of maximizing, characterizing, capitalizing, education, researching, and the recycling of aeronautical technologies to achieve added value to the disassembly process, making it benefit both the environment and the airlines bottom line. Understanding what the frame of references are, these principles become the guiding programmatic process that leads us to the facility.

*“Airplane Recycling Efforts Benefit Boeing Operations” (Carberry, 2008) § “The Core of ‘Design Thinking’ and Its Application” (Kees Dorst, 2011)

By carefully disassembling commercial aircraft, airlines can recuperate a larger return on their investments. Abandoned aircraft in the desert earn nobody anything, but a plane that is disassembled brings value to its material by recycling, reusing, and re-purposing all of its technologies and parts.

By using a similar process to the construction of airplanes, the disassembly process breaks down the aircraft in stages, allowing multiple planes to be in the disassembly process and allowing certain parts more time to be processed. After defueling and detoxifying the plane outside, planes are brought into staging, where the tail section, wings, and fuselage are all disassembled and processed separately. Each of these areas contain adaptable “Kinex” type frameworks that can be easily and quickly reconfigured to accept any airframe.

Besides the disassembly process, adjoining spaces along the exterior of the hanger provide adequate space for inspecting and inventorying reusable parts that can be used to repair the active air fleet.

The most exciting component to the facility is the research bay, where engineers, designers, and professionals can come to experiment with re-purposing aircraft technologies. This bay is separated from the disassembly area by glass offices and a large set of doors, so ideas and parts can move quickly from one side to the other. Here, projects can be constructed in a controlled environment and then moved outside for environmental testing. Along with building experimental projects, an office complex provides space for a small library, conference rooms, a cafe, lockers and showers for employees, and classrooms for educational and training programs.

THE ADOLPH GOTTLIEB MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART MUNCIE, INDIANA

The Adolph Gottlieb Museum of Contemporary Art provides Ball State University with its second art museum and is a cornerstone for reconnecting campus with the neighborhood around it. Designed as if the architect was painter Gottlieb himself, the building attempts to reflect the simplicity and organization of many of his later works. Situated on Ball State’s campus, it’s design is constrained in following the policies for new campus buildings, the material palette was limited to limestone and brick, but uses those materials in a way like no other structure on campus. The ground floor houses the administration, back of house areas, gift shop, multipurpose space, and a cafe on the corner with glass wall that open to connect the functions of the interior with the busy street corner. The gallery on the second floor houses many of Gottlieb’s work along with several galleries for traveling artwork. Located on the edge of campus and the “village” community, a fast growing district of college activities. The museum not only services campus activities, but is Ball State’s focus facility for extending university resources to the local community beyond the typical university setting. Programmatically, the facility serves as a community gathering place, and a endowment fund has established a community partnership lecture series that will be used as a platform for speaking about inequalities in this world, and promotes local community activism and involvement.

MUNCIE FIRE STATION NO. 1 ADAPTIVE REUSE STUDY MUNCIE, INDIANA

The Muncie Fire Station No. 1 Adaptive ReUse Study is a project dedicated to the task of analyzing and controlling the parameters of an adaptive reuse project. The fire station was Muncie’s first independent building dedicated to the fire department, and was completed in 1913. The station sat directly next to the rail road line that ran down the middle of Madison Avenue until the tracks were removed in 1952. The building remained intact with much of its original fabric until the 1960’s, when renovations gutted the interior and added to the side and rear of the facility This proposed adaptive reuse design removes part of those additions, and adds a second floor on the south addition, all while rehabilitating the original fire station. Work includes reconstruction of the bifold bay doors, a faithful reconstruction of the missing tower, complete restoration of the cornice and masonry, and of course, the best interpretive replacement windows to try and match the historical intent of their design.

The first floor of the building is be reconfigured for a restaurant: kitchen in the addition at the rear, and an open dining room in the vehicle storage bay, which allows visitors to enjoy the open space of the original plan. The second floor of the building is to house five apartments. The project sits between historic downtown and the historic east side of Muncie, and hopes to be a cornerstone project for neighborhood redevelopment. This project was divided over several courses and includes design development and cost estimating in both preservation classes while I chose to continue the project with the construction document phase for presenting as part of skills learned in my internship experience, of which I have included a small sample from.

History The Muncie Fire Station No. 1 has stood as beacon of community pride and safety for over 100 years in the city of Muncie. Constructed in 1913, the fire station was built to serve the growing needs of the area.

Located on the east boundary of downtown, the site has central access to both the downtown and east side neighborhood districts and was the first independent building to be dedicated to the Fire Department.

The building has gone through many renovations throughout its existence. In 1958, renovation plans detail the installation of a new concrete floor and stairs, and evidence suggests that the upper half of the hose tower had already been removed by that time. Further renovations carried out in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s would strip the building of all original windows, doors, interior walls, and most of the remaining fabric. Many changes, including furring out the interior side of all exterior walls on the second floor, the inclusion of several rest room facilities, and several additions to both the north and south elevations of the building.

The station last saw active duty in 2009, when the mayor, in an effort to reduce the city budget, closed the station citing its age, lack of space, and structural deficiencies as a few reasons for the decision. Efforts immediately rang out from the community to save the structure from the wrecking ball, and the city soon decided to lightly refurbish the facility into a training facility. Today, the structure is under utilized and often sits empty. As the city is continually adjusting its budget, the city and community are currently looking into further long-term solutions for protecting this landmark.

ELWOOD PUBLIC LIBRARY NATIONAL REGISTER NOMINATION ELWOOD, INDIANA

The Elwood Public Library is a Carnegie legacy and beautiful example of institutional architecture in small town U.S.A. This National Register Nomination project is a walk through of the process for applying to the National Register of Historic Places. As this building was already listed within a district, the following form was used for assignment purposes only, but is complete, and as a favor for the current owner who was looking for more information on the building. I choose the Elwood Public Library for is beauty, class, importance, and fond memories I have from childhood of the facility. Today, the library is privately owned and up for rent to businesses. The overall condition of the library is fair to good, but the possibility of something happening before the building could be fully documented helped to lead to the selection for use in the project. Some of the contextually historic importance of the building includes its ties to Carnegie, who funded the project (although the community never have referred to the building as a Carnegie), a strong tie to the Gas Boom of the late 1800’s in Central Indiana (to which this building owes its existence), and to the high style of architecture in such a small community. The library is one of three major public works within a block or so of each other (the City Hall and Post Office are the other two). The library once faced the city block that contained the junior and senior central high school for the community, but they were demolished in the 1980’s. Today, the library faces the parking lot of the new Elwood Public Library, and watches over those who for so long entered its doors. The city of Elwood has seen over a century of decline, and is a severe economic state of distress, so public funding is very limited if not void for community stabilization, but concerned citizens and an emphasis of trying to save this building has led to its current situation.

Historic Preservation Documentation and Registration II - Spring 2010 Instructor Cynthia Brubaker

Narrative Summary Description The Elwood Public Library displays the characteristics of a Beau Arts Classicism building with its rusticated limestone facade, lintels, and raised basement. The building is a well preserved example of the style and is a great representation of Midwestern libraries of the time period.

The limestone exterior and interior wood trim is in excellent condition with the slightest amount of alterations. A painted metal pediment over the entryway is a unique feature. Even though the roof is no longer clay tile, it has retained its original overall shape and done an adequate job in keeping the building dry. Water damage in the basement shows evidence of problems at one point in its history but not at the present time. The library’s main floor can be completely naturally day lit from the use of its many windows. Looking through these windows and down onto the surrounding community, it is clear that the piano noble set up of the building helps to give the interior an aura of significance and prestige.

The city of Elwood was first laid out in 1853. Elwood was incorporated as a town in 1872 and then a city in 1891. Natural gas was discovered in Elwood around 1887 and with it came the introduction of several large industrial facilities that would help the city boom. During this economic growth, Elwood continued to expand and develop. The city opened its first library in the home of the local librarian. By this time, the city had just completed a new city building and Romanesque high school. Efforts began to raise funds for the construction of a library building, and after several years of taxes and fund raising, they were successful. The location for the library places it a single block away from city hall and across the street from the high school, making the area ever more important to the community. Although the city was much less of a successful than the gas boom cities around it (such as Muncie and Anderson), Elwood was prosperous for years, even after the gas ran out. During the Great Depression, library records show that on average over 9,000 books were circulated every month. In 1940, Elwood’s own Wendell L. Wilkie accepted the Republican Party’s nomination for president of the United States. He is the only born Hoosier run for the office of president. Wilkie was in his early years of high school when the library was built; his future wife was a librarian at the Elwood Public Library up until they were married. The library was closed in 1997 and has been vacant almost ever since. A new library sits across the street where the old high school gymnasium once stood. Of all the municipal buildings that once characterized Elwood’s downtown, only three remain, the city hall (now in private hands), the Neo-Classical Post Office (opposite end of the same block as the library), and the Old Public Library itself.

34TH STREET AT ILLINOIS + CROWN HILL CEMETERY INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA

As a part of the studio’s examination of the 34th Street and Fairfield Avenue Corridor, the area between Illinois Street and Crown Hill Cemetery became an anchor project for community investment and innovation. As the west anchor of the district, this project has been designed to be a community center of development and culture. After careful study of the site, the project scope was defined as an exploration into the reuse of a neighborhood theatre, consideration of options for preserving important historic buildings and the integrity of the surrounding blocks, and to reimagine the commercial corridor along 34th Street between Illinois and Crown Hill Cemetery. This includes the support of new multi-use retail and an interpretive recreation of the historic boulevard. The overall goal of the project is to use preservation activities in jump-starting economic growth and investment, developing a plan for revitalizing a dead commercial corridor, and in using new investments to catalyze further preservation and infrastructure improvements in the surrounding community. As part of the study, the project defines two possible projects for consideration. The 3373 North Illinois is a new mixed-use development that provides not only great entrepreneurial space for businesses, but a is a great addition to the community by providing a transitional height building between the community and the busy Meridian Street corridor. 3360 North Illinois is an excellent candidate for rehabilitation. Already a thriving business location, a full rehabilitation would once again open the storefronts and bring in new updated facilities all while retaining the current operation of businesses. This overall project proposal is an investment project for the community, in stabilizing a declining neighborhood and marketing investment for future growth and development.

frame “Performing the complex creative feat of the parallel creation of a thing (object, service, system) and its way of working is the core challenge of design reasoning. This double creative step requires designers to come up with proposals for the ‘what’ and ‘how’, and test them in conjunction.

The most logical way to approach this complex problem situation is to work backwards, as it were, starting from the only ‘known’ in the equation, the value that needs to be created, and then adopt or develop up a frame. This initial framing activity is actually a form of induction, reasoning back from consequences. Once a credible, promising or at least possibly interesting frame is proposed, the designer can move to . . . designing a ‘thing’ (object, system, service) that will allow the equation to be completed. Only completed equations can be tested on their merit.

The next step then is a reasoning forward, using deduction to see if the ‘thing’ and ‘working principle’ combined actually perform well enough to create the value. Until this test, the frame-as-proposed is just that: a possible way forward, that cannot be accepted as ‘definitive’ until the whole equation has been filled in by the creation of the design, and that design has been shown to lead to the aspired value.”

INFILL PROPOSAL 3373 North Illinois Street New development along the corridor will be vital in restarting the local economy. Here, the main body of the building is brick up to the fourth floor, letting the top floor be a recessed glass curtain wall to reduce its visual impact on the community. As a visual focus point from the divided 34th Street section, the mixeduse development will provide an opportune location for small businesses and easy access for residents to local mass transportation lines. This contemporary building relies on historic forms inset on a modern expression, thereby respecting and improving on the local community.

Existing Intersection Perspective

The rehabilitation process at 3360 North Illinois Street will be an important jumping-off point for the investment in revitalization efforts here at 34th and Illinois. The existing building condition is excellent, and the historic windows may still be in place under the current EIFS in-fill. Rehabilitation criteria will be as follows: clean all exterior surfaces with a water at less than 100 psi. Repoint brickwork as necessary with matching mortar. Remove all window coverings and assess the historic windows remaining. Repair all windows as possible, replicate in kind where missing. Install new gutter and downspout system.

Remove all unnecessary roof penetrations and all existing roofing layers. New roofing membrane shall be a light color rubber roofing membrane. Insulate underside of roofing with minimum of R36 insulation.

Assess current HVAC and plumbing equipment and repair/replace as required. New awning shall be a loose canvas material. The program of the building shall provide both retail and office space for the community. It is important that the existing laundry mat stay in its current location. If consolidation of its floor space is possible, a cafe on the corner would be an exciting gateway business opportunity for the corridor. The second floor can be divided into office with a central shared lobby space.

I am in my sixth year of college now, and I feel blessed to be almost finished. It has been a long and difficult road for me to be here today. Throughout my life, I have had to overcome several physical handicaps, but have always embraced the challenge. I have learned that no matter how difficult the road nor how long the journey is, there is always a finish line, and there is a reward for those with the patience and the courage to make it to the end. Throughout the past several years, I have had to opportunity to work with some of the most interesting and educated people I have ever met. For the experience and the opportunities they have given me, I am grateful. I look forward to a career full of adventure and learning, and am ready to test my abilities out in the real world.
