THESIS

Cincinnati Creative Center

Arts and culture are an essential part of a vibrant, healthy, thriving community PROBLEM:

SOLUTION:

There is no safe place in West End for community members to go and make art. While there are many different services such as food banks, social services, and civic institutions, there is a lack of creative spaces that are open to anyone that wants to join in, regardless of economic status.

Create a catalyst in the community that provides access to creative materials, workshops by local artists, and can serve as a third place for them to call their own. Programs will include studio space, a gallery for exhibiting their work, giving them the chance to better connect with other members of society.

WEST END A brief overview

West End is a neighborhood in Cincinnati, Ohio, located north-west of downtown, east of Queensgate, west of Over-the-Rhine, and south-east of Fairview. West End was once a dense and thriving neighborhood of multi- and single-family homes and businesses. Much of the historic West End was essentially gutted beginning in 1956, when city officials used federal funds to raze the area in the name of “urban renewal.” Construction of a highway which became Interstate 75 and Queensgate Industrial Park slashed through a vibrant, middle-class black community and it became an enclave of mostly poor black families migrating from the South. West End has struggled to recover from these events.

PROPOSED SITE First German Reformed Church

1815 Freeman Ave.

The First German Reformed Church, located in the historic West End neighborhood of Cincinnati, OH, was constructed in 1850. Owing to the changing demographics and anti-German fear post-World War I, the First German Reformed Church became known as the First Reformed Church in 1918. After the neighborhood and congregation numbers began to decline in the 1960’s, the church was forced to sell the building in 1970. The Freeman Avenue United Church of Christ occupied the church for an additional five years before closing. The property was then transferred to Seven Hills Neighborhood Houses on November 18, 1993.

COMMUNITY ART PROGRAMS EXAMPLES Case-studies from around the nation

Located in San Francisco, CA, Hospitality House is a free-of-charge fine arts studio and gallery space for artists and neighborhood residents whose socioeconomic struggles would otherwise prevent them from accessing the powerful artistic and cultural landscape of this community.

Project H.E.A.L. (Health. Equity. Art. Learning.) is a program by IDEAS xLab and Creative Agents of Change Foundation designed to discovers new ways for using art + culture tools to reduce health disparities, devise innovative ways to measure health outcomes, and promote mental and physical well-being in the neighborhood of Smoketown in Louisville, KY.

In 1996, a group of New York City artists, educators, and activists founded Groundswell with the belief that collaborative art-making combines personal expression with the strength of community activism. Groundswell engages youth in creative processes at the intersection of arts education, youth development, and social justice to inspire community engagement and social change.

The Ohio State University A new arena for wrestling, volleyball, and gymnastics. As a part of the Moody Nolan team, I led the experiential design of this project.

COVELLI CENTER At The Ohio State University

The Covelli Center, a new arena for wrestling, volleyball, and gymnastics is a state-of-the-art addition to the Ohio State University’s campus. The Moody Nolan Experiential Design Studio along with Populous was awarded the privilege to curate an experience for both the athletes and coaches, as well as the fans that come to support their team. History and recognition was a big driving force in the design of this space, highlighting accomplishments of OSU athletics and the donors who provided the support necessary to build the arena.

Linear lights flank each side of the acoustic panels that were painted to match the branding colors. A dimensional, halo lit logo to be prominently located above the entrance into the arena.

RECOGNITION WALL Grid concept

Lines drawn from the angles of the Block O logo will be used as a base grid in the recognition wall on the east side of the concourse.

RECOGNITION WALL Grid concept - trophy cases

The recognition wall was an element that The Ohio State University had asked for from the very beginning. Between highlighting championships, athletes, and donors, we decided that we needed to find a unique way to display all of this information together. Part of this was figuring out how much space to allocate to each section.

86 possible trophy cases

With a break in the grid for athletic silhouettes, 73 possible trophy cases

STUDENT ATHLETE HALLWAY Conceptual renderings

Red archways create moments outside of each locker room. The idea was to create a portal at each entrance for wayfinding and placemaking. Simple graphic treatment based off the Block O would give the red wall an extra layer of dimension, and an intense lighting and 3D elements would add some intensity to the space.

STUDENT ATHLETE HALLWAY Final direction

Ultimately the portals were stripped down to a more minimalistic approach, with each entrance highlighting the sport coinciding with the locker room, all of which display the Block O proudly.

FIFTH THIRD ARENA

University of Cincinnati Fifth Third Arena is a renovation project to create an updated experience reflecting the success of the Cincinnati Bearcats. As a part of the Moody Nolan team, I was support on the experiential design of this project.

FIFTH THIRD ARENA University of Cincinnati

The Moody Nolan Experiential Design Studio working with Populous designed the brand experience for Fifth Third Arena, the basketball arena at the University of Cincinnati. Fifth Third Arena is a renovation project to create an updated experience reflecting the success of the Bearcats as a team and the championships they have earned. The University of Cincinnati desired an arena that their team and fans can be proud of, an arena that redefines what it means to be a Bearcat. We decided to highlight UC athletics, innovation, academics, and Cincinnati, telling these stories throughout the space by strategically placing subject matter and content. LOCATION Cincinnati, OH

DESIGN STRATEGY Inspiration behind design language

Utilizing the ingot symbol extracted from the UC mark as a “pop” or point of emphasis. The symbol can be “extruded” and used as a graphic element, or secondary asset to highlight moments or locations of interest. i.e. restrooms, concessions, bowl access, etc... Many unique forms can be extrapolated from the ingot, each expressing emphasis based upon hierarchy.

LIBRARY

Texas Southern University A new library at Texas Southern that serves a landmark on the campus and throughout the Third Ward of Houston, TX. As a part of the Moody Nolan team, I was support on the experiential design of this project.

LIBRARY AND LEARNING CENTER Texas Southern University

Moody Nolan was selected to plan, program and design a state-of-the-art Library Learning Center Building. The brand new facility is approximately 137,000 sq. ft. focused on a modern design that evolves in bold new ways to meet the current and future needs of Texas Southern University’s students. From the beginning of the design process, a coalition of individuals representing TSU students, faculty, administration, and community members, participated in meetings, surveys, and opinion gathering media to share ideas and collect data, imperative to the development and implementation of the new library learning center.
