The message I was trying to convey through out my design process was sustainability and moving toward a greener infrastructure for the future of Rainelle. My first two concepts took the composition of a saw blade. Where I was trying to show the history of the Meadow River Lumber Company.

Storefront Projects

The fifth design I felt had the best functioning composition thus far.

So I ended up altering and using most of the imager in this one to come up with my final design.

Rainelle West Virginia Storefront Graphic Project Concept Design Process

Which then lead me to the third concept. Where I went for more of a scenic history overlay. Nevertheless, I felt the overall design and layout of this concept was nice, but I was getting away form the sustainability theme I had in mind.

For my next two concept designs I thought of merging the previous three, choosing the best images from each. The fourth design was not very strong or appealing to look at. It was still missing a sense of direction and story.

For the sixth concept I kept the scenic background and was able to incorporate the saw blades and Meadow River water tower. This is also where my story line became more concert and relevant. I added in a train that had the look as if it were sawing lumber as it came down the tracks. For the background I added in wind turbines and went with the saying “Cutting A Greener Horizon�. With a guy who looks to have climbed to the top of the mountain and is pointing out over the mountain ranges to the new scenic horizon.

For my final design concepts I added some trees behind the train.

To make it seem as if the train was barreling out of the forest into the open. The train is pulling a ghostly image of a loaded train car of logs that fades into a recycling decal on the side of the golden train. I wanted it to depict that the lumber and the mill once was what fueled the town and train. Cutting a path towards the future, the town and train can be fueled by the new gold recycling products. I named the train the Golden Cass, referring to Cass Scenic Railroad and the idea of recycling products being the new gold.

Then that leads down to the hiker climbing out of the wood and discovering the new green horizon of the wind farms.

The message I was trying to convey through out my design process was sustainability and moving toward a greener infrastructure for the future of Rainelle. My first two concepts took the composition of a saw blade. Where I was trying to show the history of the Meadow River Lumber Company.

The fifth design I felt had the best functioning composition thus far.

So I ended up altering and using most of the imager in this one to come up with my final design.

Which then lead me to the third concept. Where I went for more of a scenic history overlay. Nevertheless, I felt the overall design and layout of this concept was nice, but I was getting away form the sustainability theme I had in mind.

For my next two concept designs I thought of merging the previous three, choosing the best images from each. The fourth design was not very strong or appealing to look at. It was still missing a sense of direction and story.

For the sixth concept I kept the scenic background and was able to incorporate the saw blades and Meadow River water tower. This is also where my story line became more concert and relevant. I added in a train that had the look as if it were sawing lumber as it came down the tracks. For the background I added in wind turbines and went with the saying “Cutting A Greener Horizon�. With a guy who looks to have climbed to the top of the mountain and is pointing out over the mountain ranges to the new scenic horizon.

For my final design concepts I added some trees behind the train.

To make it seem as if the train was barreling out of the forest into the open. The train is pulling a ghostly image of a loaded train car of logs that fades into a recycling decal on the side of the golden train. I wanted it to depict that the lumber and the mill once was what fueled the town and train. Cutting a path towards the future, the town and train can be fueled by the new gold recycling products. I named the train the Golden Cass, referring to Cass Scenic Railroad and the idea of recycling products being the new gold.

Then that leads down to the hiker climbing out of the wood and discovering the new green horizon of the wind farms.

was able to show the ideas of my concept. Outdoor dining, street benches and colorful pavers will add a unique touch that will be attractive to businesses looking to come to Rainelle.

The concept I created for this project was that, “the future’s possibilities are endless.” I felt like this was a strong slogan because it accurately describes the current situation of the town. Rainelle has gone through so much negativity over the past 40 years and is now finally getting the chance to start a new chapter. A chapter full of revival and innovation!

Concept 2 “Future’s Possibilities Are Endless”:

This graphic was the one I picked to use as my project. I liked its potential and the concept of designing the future of Rainelle.

Concept 3 “Made in the USA”: It was intended to celebrate Rainelle’s past, present and future in manufacturing.

In the next revision of this graphic, I began adding different elements to spruce up the main street. The Chevy Volt portrays future technologies and the motorcycles represent the Memorial Day traditions.

While continuing to add new people and elements, I also added a train and pickup to show a part of the culture. I also

A prominent feature that pops out is the streetscapes alongside the road. I believe in order to promote future economic growth along the main street in Rainelle, there needs to be an attractive atmosphere. There needs to be room for outdoor dining, street benches as well as new sidewalks with colorful pavers. With these elements incorporated into the town, new people, business owners and investors will be more enticed to move in! Another major part of the picture was the mountains that were added to the background. This helps accurately display the beauty surrounding the area!

The graphic really started to come together in this draft due to the sidewalks added to both sides as well as other street elements, text and mountains!

By using local interstates to their advantage, Rainelle has an opportunity to become a destination for tourists, outdoors enthusiasts and wedding parties!

Storefront Projects

Concept 1 “Over the Speed Bump”:

The idea behind this piece was to display the brief history of Rainelle. Focusing on the series of unfortunate events and its future.

The first draft of my project differs greatly from the final product. Several different times through the design process I added and eliminated the modes of transportation on the main street. At first I wanted to address an eco-friendly/progressive message by having a Chevy Volt in the picture.

However I decided it didn’t fit in fully with the message I was trying to portray. This also occurred with the third revision when I added a train.

Fortunately, the pickup truck depicts the character of the area and this was a good addition to the main street.

This collage tries to show how the Raine brothers built the entire lumber industry in Rainelle.

The brothers are in the center to try and emphasize the point that their industry practically built the town of Rainelle. The research of Rainelle lead me to this collage. The lumber industry was so expansive there that it would seem foolish to leave it out.

For this collage I tried to modify a previous design. I replaced the train car with an open car to transport lumber. I also tried to show the process of how logs get transferred into plywood sheets. The colors attempted to draw the viewer’s eye towards the Raine brothers while still allowing the plywood sheets and logs to be noticed. The text tries to emphasize the importance of the lumber industry and to give the feeling that it will always be a part of Rainelle.

I initially created three designs with themes that related to the town of Rainelle. However, none of them really succeeded in portraying their theme to my expectations. I then created three more new designs. All of them were improvements from the first three. I decided to apply a color palette to my fourth design and my sixth design because I believed they were the strongest. Nothing looked right, however, so I decided to start over and make another design. I created a simpler design which conveys its theme well. The color palette was not a problem this time because the design did not involve many different colors. After being critiqued, I concluded that I would improve this specific design to create a final design. My final design incorporates a newspaper article with a strong headline about Rainelle which tells of the town’s history.

Brighter colors were also incorporated to catch the eyes of viewers.

MILL 30

This image was almost chosen as the final but it was scrapped because it was hard to expand the concept beyond the words written at the bottom. If the image in the sky represented a transition of time, whether a full day or a few years I believe it would have been stronger.

This image wasn’t chosen because it had failed to develop a concept and the illusion of a Harley rider’s ‘spirit’ was poorly captured.

For the above image I tried to have a theme related to the veteran organization ‘Run The Wall’. The idea never made it because it’s impossible to tell that the image has to do with Rainelle. If the background were a picture of Rainelle it would be a better starting point.

The concept of this image was ‘Mountaineers Are Always Free’ but the idea was thrown away because the purpose of this project was to make a poster for Rainelle, not a sponsor for WVU. Although the background picture is of Rainelle, there are few layers and the only thing relating to the concept is the bald eagle.

This images concept was ‘Journey of Honor’ because it features the Medal of Honor badge, with the route from Rainelle to Washington D.C. highlighted in red. It wasn’t chosen because it was too centered and didn’t evoke any higher levels of thinking after looking at it for the first time.

This image claimed the concept of ‘Small Town – Big Hearts’. The American flag in the heart-shaped arrowhead symbolizes how the residents of the town are all very patriotic and constantly express love for the men who served our country. However, this image wasn’t chosen because I didn’t think cupid was an appropriate image to relate veterans and Americans.

This simple graphic is the primary composition of what is to become my finished product. The sunrise shining through the dim, deserted warehouse provides a sense of hope for what is to come. In the oval placed at the bottom of the page, are some of the workers from Meadow River Lumber Co.

Storefront Projects

“Life after Lumber”

“Life after Lumber”

Being one of the first compositions, I explored the idea of using a Harley Davidson and POW/MIA theme. This graphic has a somber background that is contrasted with bright colors.

At this point in the process, the workers were cut out individually, making them look as though they belong in the warehouse rather than a graphic placed within another graphic.

Rainelle, West Virginia, “Where all of the Resources are in your Hands”. I tried to emphasize on the idea that Rainelle’s success in the lumber industry lead to a educationally focused Rainelle of today by paving a path to the school house with a newspaper clipping about the mill

This composition was meant to be a commemorative piece that highlights the history of Rainelle. The basis of the graphic begins with an outline of a two-man crosscut saw. Instead of wooden handles, the Raine Brothers are in place to celebrate the fact that they are the two men who made the town what it is, much like how a crosscut saw is useless with just one person. In place of where the blade would be, there is a collage of an assortment of photos of the lumber co., a train, and one of the Raine Brother’s tombstone.

During this next step, I filled the entire floor of the building with workers and placed a few amongst the stocked up lumber. It looks as though the workers are looking at the viewer questioning “What’s next?”

The concept of this image is to honor Rainelle but most importantly ‘Honor the Mill’. For a long period of time Rainelle had the largest hardwood sawmill in the world and it’s important that people do not forget this. The identical houses on the left hand side represent the Sears homes that were company owned and put up for the workers. The railroad track is included because the lumber was transported on flatbed train cars around the country; the carts are also seen on the opposite side of the track. I have the railroad vanishing into a saw blade, which also gives the illusion of a sunrise or sunset. Finally the flag in the tracks is to show for all the hardworking Americans that make up the town of Rainelle, West Virginia.

I advanced this graphic by adding some color to the background as well as the workers along the floor. The color tone in the background makes it look as though the sun is illuminating the building. I also faded a newspaper clip ontop of the workers

Rainelle, West Virginia Final Concept

Life After

From start to finish, the design process for this final composition was filled with dead ends, u-turns, and new ideas that eventually come together in this final product. The perspective feel of the background graphic takes the viewer on a virtual journey through the warehouse towards the sunrise. I was striving to achieve that feel to help represent the journey that the town of Rainelle took from a lifestyle dictated by the lumber industry to the town of today. The one common theme that has held together this graphic from the beginning is the sunrise in the background. It symbolizes hope or the “light at the end of the tunnel”. The two silhouettes in the back of the warehouse symbolize business men with briefcases that are leading the way to the future of Rainelle, where the Raine Brothers in the foreground are greeting the viewer and welcoming them to the “journey”. The color of these sets of men coincide with the colors of the texts “before” and “after”. The floor of the warehouse is composed of binary code (computer language). This is supposed to symbolize a push for the future with a foundation of technology.

This is the part of the design process where I finalized the color palette.

I opted against filling the floor with workers. I also tweaked the signs so that they look like they are hanging along the rows of lumber as well as placing various wood products within the lumber bays.

This simple graphic is the primary composition of what is to become my finished product. The sunrise shining through the dim, deserted warehouse provides a sense of hope for what is to come. In the oval placed at the bottom of the page, are some of the workers from Meadow River Lumber Co.

“Life after Lumber”

“Life after Lumber”

Being one of the first compositions, I explored the idea of using a Harley Davidson and POW/MIA theme. This graphic has a somber background that is contrasted with bright colors.

At this point in the process, the workers were cut out individually, making them look as though they belong in the warehouse rather than a graphic placed within another graphic.

Rainelle, West Virginia, “Where all of the Resources are in your Hands”. I tried to emphasize on the idea that Rainelle’s success in the lumber industry lead to a educationally focused Rainelle of today by paving a path to the school house with a newspaper clipping about the mill

This composition was meant to be a commemorative piece that highlights the history of Rainelle. The basis of the graphic begins with an outline of a two-man crosscut saw. Instead of wooden handles, the Raine Brothers are in place to celebrate the fact that they are the two men who made the town what it is, much like how a crosscut saw is useless with just one person. In place of where the blade would be, there is a collage of an assortment of photos of the lumber co., a train, and one of the Raine Brother’s tombstone.

During this next step, I filled the entire floor of the building with workers and placed a few amongst the stocked up lumber. It looks as though the workers are looking at the viewer questioning “What’s next?”

The concept of this image is to honor Rainelle but most importantly ‘Honor the Mill’. For a long period of time Rainelle had the largest hardwood sawmill in the world and it’s important that people do not forget this. The identical houses on the left hand side represent the Sears homes that were company owned and put up for the workers.

My concept for this graphic started when I found the picture of the train track perspective. I knew right away I wanted a train to be on the track surrounded by history of the town of Rainelle. I showed the train coming through almost passing different moments in history. The text in this graphic is the motto of the town. Rainelle is also displayed above the sun and train, and really draws the viewer's attention. The American flag shows the pride Rainelle has towards this country and their own town. There is a piece of lumber that is split up into the parts that it would be cut into. This represents the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rich history with the Meadow River Lumber Company. There are several different pictures of the town itself passing as the train goes along. There is also the telescope that Rainelle calls the guide to the galaxy. The people on the front porch were the founders of the lumber company and also whom the town was named after. Arnold Carter was a professional baseball player that came from Rainelle so I decided he would show the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spirit. My pictures come together to make a contrasting but balanced graphic. The focal point is intended to be the train, but it does not take your eye away from anything in the picture. The perspective of the pictures on the side of the track draw your eye back towards the train and up in the sky to read the word Rainelle.

Concept Design # 3 40

Final Concept with

Concept Design # 5

Concept Design # 6

Initially, I began with 6 different conceptual designs. Each design consisted of a different concept that promoted the town of Rainelle, West Virginia.

In the first design I was looking to incorporate the West Virginia mountains into the design. Also I wanted to show the old mill town nestled into the mountains. Just as Rainelle is. I also used clippings from a book about the Raine brothers' industry to show a glimpse from the past. I also replaced the sky with a waving state flag.

The second design also uses the mountain element as the background. This photo is actually a photo taken by me looking towards the mountains that surround Rainelle. Instead of the Raine brothers' lumber mill, I decided to focus on the bikers. Since the Run for the Wall is a large yearly event to take place in Rainelle. This poster shows the bikers riding in the sunset over the mountains and down a Rainelle street.

In the third design, I decided to use the old train car picture. This concept goes back to the lumber aspect. I wanted to really show that it was Rainelle and I thought there wouldn’t be a better way than to use the Rainelle sign to cover the train car. Also I tried to incorporate lumber into the image and also the old photos from the mill like concept designs one and two.

In the next two designs, I decided to change the layout of the poster and go with a portrait design instead of landscape. In the fourth concept I wanted to incorporate both the train (lumber) and the motorcycles.

Seeing how this are two major parts in Rainelle. I also used a photo of tracks directly from Rainelle. This I felt would also bring the hometown feels to the poster.

In the fifth design, I wanted to keep with the lumber theme. This time I decided to use an image of tracks through the forest. I also made it look as if the tracks were coming from Rainelle on the state. I also incorporated the historical sign about the Meadow River Lumber Company.

After coming up with these five concepts I decided to uses parts from all the designs to make my final image. I wanted to keep with the idea of the train. So I used the image of the tracks from Rainelle. Next I placed a train on the tracks and made it appear as if it was coming through the image. I also like the concept of replacing the sky with a waving flag like I did in Concept #1. But this time I decided to show more patriotism and used an old American flag instead of the West Virginia state flag. I also like the idea of the “ghostly” old time images from the lumber company. So I decided to add those into the image along the tracks. This was to help show though this is no longer a part of Rainelle, it is a part of the history and it will always be there. I also incorporated the historical sign of the Meadow River Lumber Company and tucked in behinds the mountains. So that it wasn’t the main focal point but also helped to show what the concept was.

After completing the image with all the images that I wanted to be in it. I decided to have some effects to the images. I added a cutout effect to the entire image. This effect helped to take away from the look of it being a real image that had be collaged. This effect gave the image more of a mural feel and softens up the changes. I then added text to the image. I didn’t want there to be a lot of text in the image. I didn’t want the text to take control of the image. I decided to keep with one idea of the text that helped to show the concept. I achieved this by adding the “Brightening the Future” slogan. I helped to convey its message by adding a glow to the image and making it appear as if it was coming out from the train’s headlight. The other text added was very subtle but it helped show that this was Rainelle. I achieved this by placing “Rainelle” along the side of the train. This creates the analogy that Rainelle is the truth and we are looking to brighten the future. You can see these changes in the design between the images Concept Design # 6 and Final Design.

In conclusion, I feel that the poster conveys a simple idea that reminds people of the past of Rainelle but also shows some inspiration for the future. I think that the simple design will draw in people to look at and it will be easy to interpret.

PLANTING DESIGN LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE ashley.kyber@mail.wvu.edu Studio:

T/Th: 9:30-11:20AM T/Th: 2:00-3:50 PM

Project DESCRIPTION: This project is a short “sketch” problem in Planting Design. You are asked to take your design lay-out from last term (LARC 250) and rework the design, adding plants and planting beds to the layout to help define the spaces you have already developed for the site. This may mean you have to do some re-design if you have plans that have little or no planting.

Streetscape/Planting Design Statement

Project OBJECTIVES & OUTCOMES: The major objective of the course is for the student to demonstrate an understanding of the characteristics of plant materials to properly use them to achieve aesthetically pleasing and functional design solutions for exterior spaces.

A student earning a passing grade should be able to demonstrate: • • •

An understanding of the aesthetic aspects of plants, including form, color, texture, seasonal change, and flowering and fruiting characteristics.

An understanding of the layout and development of a schematic planting plan with co-related section drawings and plant schedule An understanding in the process for developing a plant schedule and 3D graphic plant library for this project

METHODOLOGY Step One: Develop a Plant Schedule/Design Characteristic of Plants Your first step in developing this design is to develop a plant schedule.

Afterwards, you are to relate the plants in the plant schedule to the the plant features used in design like forms (shapes) ie – round, conical, upright ect. and sizes most commonly used in planting design from canopy trees to groundcovers. You also need to develop other design features of the plants in the plant schedule like flower color, foliage attributes or seasonal interests. This may be done by adding columns to your excel plant schedule.

Assignment Due:

Thursday: Jan. 20th

Step Two: Site Analysis Plant design takes into consideration how plantings are used to define spaces.

Thus, in order to develop appropriate planting, you must first analyze your site for planting design and then we will rework your initial site design to incorporate that analysis. This analysis will incorporate design questions and environmental factors that inform plant selection. In this analysis phase, we will think about your proposed site uses. You will ask yourself the following 10 questions: 1.

What are the sun and shade conditions on my site?

2.

Where is the water flowing on the site?

3.

Where is the wind coming from/ how harsh is it?

4.

What is the primary, secondary and tertiary site circulation?

5.

Where does the site need screening or privacy?

6.

Do I have any hazards, site features that I need special attention?

7.

Where do I want to draw the eye?

8.

Do I need tall or short plants to accomplish my goals for the space I am envisioning…

9.

What do I want the walls, ceiling and floor in each of my spaces look like, feel like..ect.

10.

Are each of designed the spaces in my site design: a) comfortable spaces to inhabit/use or b) the spaces are designed to be looked at?

2) Use of variety in plant size (canopy to groundcover) to define spacial characteristics of site design: 3) Appropriate plant masses (numbers and overlap): Assignment Due for Deskcrit:

Tue: 1st

Once you have feedback, redesign on trace. Once you make all the corrections, transfer the work into the computer. For final layout. Bring a 24x36 black and white print of your work for deskcrit.

Thurs. 3rd

Step Six: Finalizing Design and Preparing Document Set After you get a desk-crit on your design you are ready to make final changes and create final drawings. For this assignment, you can complete the drawing set by hand or in Google sketch-up or CADD. If you are drawing by hand make sure you complete your plant leadering and sheet layout digitally. There should be no hand lettering on these drawings.

Follow the following guidelines when Leadering plants: • There should be one leader for each plant or planting mass • Each leader has three parts, a arrowhead or bullet, an angle line with a diagonal and a horizontal and a note.

Grading for this project will be considered according to the following: 1) Use of a variety of Plant Forms (shapes) to define spacial characteristics of site design: Zero

Step Five: Re-work Design after Desk Crit

Assignment Due:

• The arrowhead should touch the center of the plant or one plant in a plant mass • All leader notes should be justified right and left of the drawing on one guideline on each side. (Draw a line through your design to help you see which side of the drawing the plants should be leadered.)

• All leader notes should be outside the drawing are at least 2” • All notes should be comprised of common name and bubble with number of plants on top and plant key from plant schedule on the bottom.

• Layout leaders by hand and then transfer to the computer. PLEASE Check your drawing before you finalize. You WILL miss plants on the first pass. DO NOT WAIT TILL THE MORNING THE PROJECT IS DUE TO DO THIS STEP or YOUR WORK WILL BE LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Follow the following guidelines when laying out your document set: All students are to prepare a two page set of drawings including: 1) a design plan view drawing at 1”=10’ with a plant schedule 2) another sheet with two annotated site section drawings 3) Plan drawing and sections to be rendered in color

Buidling could use a touch up with paint and also could be another good site for a mural design.

Sidewalk could be widend, planters inserted and seating could be placed in front of restruarnts for people to sit outside.

Open lot could be used for various activities. It would be nice space for a green park with a lot of open space for recreation and maybe ampitheatre. Anything to bring the community together.

The abandoned automobile garage can be utilized for retail, enabling the space to appear more inviting. A simple facelift is essential as well.

US 60 Midlands Trail Highway needs an extension on the shoulder for Pedestrian safety.

Sub canopy trees, large shrubs and other varying size shrubs are needed to fill this space to create a visually pleasing sight, as well as hide the electrical box.

Planter box needs resized, a change of building material and an abundance of plant life.

A sidewalk can be added to the shoulder of US 60 for pedestrian use up to the sign.

I-60 running through downtown could use some planting bump outs creating parallel parking spaces and a rain gardens in the center to catch run-off from the street.

The dominating structure on the corner could use a face lift with a new building facade or simply a community mural.

Building could use some new paint and new awnings on the front of building. Also a good place for a mural on the side of the building.

The width of US 60 in the area of downtown can be shortened in order for more sidewalk space as well as parking maneuverability.

Site Analysis

Open lot could be created into possible recreation space, public park or oportunity for a new business.

Building could use a new paint job and also would be a good opornunity for a High School art class or community mural.

Current bussiness building could use a new paint job and a face lift to make the building more attractive and to make the two seperate business buildings look more a like.

US 60 basically dominates the downtown area. Once again the road must shortened in width in order to promote more comfort for the pedestrians of Rainelle.

The stream bank should be planted with native plants that are aesthetically appealing to offer a sense of calming to passerbys.

This structure needs minimal work to add visual character to the town. With a little revamp it could be a nice balance to the overall aesthetic of the area.

There is no existing pedestrian crosswalk, nor sidewalk to the middle “island.” A sidewalk is essential in order to promote safety in this location.

The sidewalk must be widened in order to allow for more pedestrian traffic flow. The could be small planters and benches placed along this portion the sidewalk to take in the view of town with the noise of the stream below.

The front of this middle “island” could use a bioswale area to collect run-off and pollutants that accumulate in the junction of these two roadways.

Downtown Streetscape

The town of Rainelle has a rich history. One of the more notable things about this town was that it housed the largest hard wood lumber mill in the world for many years.

After visiting the site and meeting with residents, I concluded that though this mill is no longer active, the history of it is still a big part of the community. This community is also ready to work together to make this upgrade to their town happen. With this face-lift, Rainelle can become a tourist attraction similar to the small town of Lewisburg, WV.

Site Furniture and Design

Design Goals and Objectives

The City Hall facade update includes the use of flagstone as a building material. This, coupled with this town’s history with the lumbermill, helped us settle on a theme of rough cut lumber and flagstone as a material choice throughout the streetscape. We wanted to redesign not only the signage, but also the site furniture to create a more united streetscape that flowed well from end to end of town. To the right is an example of a sign update for businesses in Rainelle. This sign would be treated rough cut and the business would have final say on the treatment of it. Also to the right is an example of the flagstone that we will use as both a paving material and a building material for bases of furniture. These materials create a nice contrast while keeping a rustic but elegant look that will work well with the character of the town.

- Widen the sidewalks to 8 feet, creating an appropriate width for pedestrians to walk abreast.

- Create bumpouts in the sidewalk that shorten the distance pedestrian is in street, as well as slowing down traffic.

- Place benches, trash cans, and lighting to create a clean, safe walking environment.

-Create Green Corridor of pocket parks and street crossings to create a path through downtown.

-Include the design of a farmer’s market for local farmer’s to sell produce.

-Create a safe, usable streetscape that people will enjoy spending time in.

Our streetscape design includes the use of bioswales in the downtown streetscape. This will reduce stormwater runoff into local streams, which will help reduce chances of flooding as well as reduce need to water plants in streetscape. Above is a proposed bioswale section of the street. It includes a bench designed with the principles discussed above incorporated.

The water will be directed into these beds through breaks in the curb as shown in the section to the right. The section on the right shows a detail of how the bioswale will work. The stormwater will drain from street into the swale, which will absorb and help slowly distribute it into the surrounding soil. If it becomes inundated in heavy rain situations there is an overflow connected to existing storm drains. This prevents risk of road flooding and keeps the water off of sidewalks and businesses.

Our design of the streetscape includes the movement of utilites from overhead poles to underground utilities. This reduces visual clutter and risk of failure overhead. It also creates more space for trees to grow unhindered. Shown above is an example of how utilities will run along the streetscape underground. These utilities will connect to streetlights that will run on L.E.D. Lighting. LED lights use significantly less energy than standard bulbs and even compact flourescents. They are also very versatile and can be programmed for different colors. The view to the right shows an example of the lighting we will use throughout our streetscape.

Highway 60 Conceptual Design.

The intersection of Highway 60 and Highway 20 is poorly designed and unsafe for motorists. The perspective reveals a new plan for bringing the roads together with traffic lights and a four way intersection. In this situation traffic is handled in a more structured sense, allowing for more safety and control for motorists.

Highway 60 is lacking a sense of unity and design.

Incorporating a linear pathway of trees on both sides of the road with a string of trees up the middle of the planted median will inevitably order and characterize the roadway. The trees will form a unique ceilings over the roadway, while also providing a buffer between the roadway and sidewalk. The planted median strip is raised 18â&#x20AC;? to accommodate plant life, as well as serve as a barrier between the lanes. Turning lanes were incorporated in the planted medians in order to allow for a constant flow of traffic.

Pyrus calleryana

In order to accommodate pedestrians there are cut outs in the median strip that allow for them to cross Highway 60 with safety. The raised median creates a buffer for pedestrians that may have to wait in the middle while the lanes clear. The cut out areas in the median are a unique method for allowing more pedestrian access to places of interest. The simple method of only providing cross walks at intersections can be inefficient and frustrating for many individuals. In this case the distance one may have to travel to an area of interest is minimal.

The aerial perspective reveals the redesign of the Kroger Plaza. The parking lot is lacking order, character and a sense of place. There are several elements that have been added in order to provide a solution to the problems of this space. The parking strips with street trees and bioswales offer an addition of life to the site, as well as a purification element. A sense of order exists with the addition of the parking strips as well.

This perspective shows the proposed design for the streetscape of the downtown section of town. Currently the street does not have an inviting feel with only a few struggling street trees and lacks color and excitement. The lanes of the street are condensed to a more appropriate lane width of twelve feet. Making the lanes smaller allows for more room for a proper streetscape for the town. This new streetscape will add planter boxes along the road to separate pedestrians on the side walk from vehicles on the street. The wider side walks allow for more people to walk more comfortably and even allows room for outdoor seating for restaurants and bars. Street trees will line the street adding shade and color, bio-swales will help to collect water run off from the street as well as add color. Adding better lighting to the area will make it feel more safe and help keep the area active after dark. Adding these amenities to the street will make the area more inviting and help bring in new businesses to the area.

In order to add more plant life in the vast space of concrete, parking strips have been proposed. In each strip of parking there will be street trees placed evenly with a bioswale under each of them. The bioswales will filter runoff from the surfaces around the site. The parking strips add more control to the parking lot as well.

It is a large open space that has no character. With the addition of these elements that parking lot begins to develop a sense of place and interest.

This areal view of the streetscape shows the proposed set up of the new streetscape. It specifically shows how the parallel parking and new bump outs will fit into the site. The bump outs allow pedestrians to see around cars parked on the street while still staying on the sidewalk which allows for safer crossing. These bump outs also include the bio-swales.

This view of the street shows a proposed way for the bioswale to be planted.

In order to add more plant life in the vast space of concrete, parking strips have been proposed. In each strip of parking there will be street trees placed evenly with a bioswale under each of them. The bioswales will filter runoff from the surfaces around the site. The parking strips add more control to the parking lot as well.

It is a large open space that has no character. With the addition of these elements that parking lot begins to develop a sense of place and interest.

This areal view of the streetscape shows the proposed set up of the new streetscape. It specifically shows how the parallel parking and new bump outs will fit into the site. The bump outs allow pedestrians to see around cars parked on the street while still staying on the sidewalk which allows for safer crossing. These bump outs also include the bio-swales.

This view of the street shows a proposed way for the bioswale to be planted.

The plants above are all suitable for Rainelle, West Virginia. The plants are required to meet zone 4 limits, as well as being able to tolerate the conditions of the area. We were warned to choose plants that were sturdy enough to support the weight of snow and the damage from road salt. We chose each plant carefully to compliment each area throughout the town.
