ARCH 703 Design 3: URBAN QUALITIES & MATERIALITIES

Professor: James Garrison

Project with Jennifer Boswell

Pandemic disrupt everything. Regenerative City presents an approach that allows urban residents to live, work and enjoy in the same premises.

The design studio focus on contemporary aspects of architectural urbanity. Designing from the outside in, issues such as mixed land use, composite building use, transportation, and environment will be coordinated through the specificities of a building enclosure and site. The studio seeks to explore both organizational and spatial ideas for individual apartment units, configuration, and vertical/horizontal circulation of building sections as well as overall formal ideas.

A city which generates a livable space by celebrating the site’s existing features but also by adding to it. The program comprises of High-rise residential tower with amenities with various possible Housing types (Micro housing/mix unit sizes/lo/lux, etc)-and various amenities which are lacking at present. The project aid to create jobs, and increase interaction and socialization by producing eyes on the street which will allow the site to be self-sustainable for the future generation. Furthermore, design is environmentally responsive, removal of excess carbon through the Carbon Sequestration Process. Also, optimizing natural light and adding green spaces creating a healthy sustainable environment.
