Athens Innovation District Walkable Zones the entire district is designed to be walkable to encourage connectivity and good health. each building has multiple entrances to make walking from your apartment to work a breeze. The utilization of bridges helps to connect buildings that would otherwise be divided by a street.

Life Zones An open green space design Provides multi-use community spaces that can be used for a variety of activities. A student research and community Center allows for students and non students to collaborate and learn from one another. The microbrewery and amphitheater are ideal spaces to connect and live life with others Work Zones At the center of the design is the STEAM (Science, technology, engineering, arts, math) district. This district is clustered together to encourage collaboration throughout disciplines.

At the matrix of the design is a futuristic exposition pavilion that will feature the most innovative research projects from each discipline.

Preliminary Design Concepts

Athens innovation District

A Place to work and live, the Athens innovation district is the epicenter of technology and education. This new district highlights the best aspects of living in downtown Athens, while still maintaining its identity as one of the Southeast’s most inspiring S.T.E.A.M. Districts.

form, texture, & color studies These studies broke down the design process into three separate categories to help highlight how each component contributes to the overall design. Form, texture, and color are all equally important parts of the design.

Construction Documents For this class we had a Semester long project in which we created a full set of construction documents

Georgia Square Mall Redesign The intent of this redesign was to bring life and unity into an otherwise dead area. 32 Lots and 50 town homes line the outside of the commercial area, which has residences above it. The community tree is meant to bring the community together. it can be decorated seasonally, and events can be centered around it. The amphitheater is a great place to host a concert, while the fields in front of it serve as a great place for a farmers market or food truck festival.

Landscape Engineering This project started with hand drafting and was later transferred into autocad. a sketchup model of the topography was made to help better understand the lay of the land. We then added an amenities center and graded accordingly. knowledge of storm water runoff, retaining walls, and spot elevations were crucial throughout this project.

Moss Side Site plan This project took the concept of community planning to the next level. House plots are arranged in groups of 5 to 10 with a "community house" where these households can share meals or hold social gatherings. the community houses are Located across from each cluster of houses. This plan also features a community garden, trail systems, and a lage community lodge.i utilized the site inventory on the previous page to design this plan.
