design

 My  design  was  aimed  at  bridging  the  gap  that  exists  between  the  

thriving  tourism  industry,  mostly  via  cruise  ships,  and  the  residents  that  lived  to  the  north.  The  design  also  

saught  to  use  means  of  natural  light  and  natural  ven-la-on  in  the  day  to  

day  opera-ons  of  the  facility.  I  wanted  to  bring  the  natural  

environment  from  outside  into  this  very  open  structure.  I  also  took  care  

to  separate  the  quieter  ac-vi-es  such  as  mee-ng  and  lecture/

seminar  rooms  on  the  first  floor  and  kept  busier  ac-vi-es    such  as  the  

art  workshop,  café  and  mul-purpose  space  on  the  ground  floor,  while  crea-ng  various  break  

out  spaces.

This  project  proposed  an  urban  cinema  and  condominium  mixed-­‐use  development  in  downtown  

Tallahassee,  Florida.  The  proposal  is  set  to  revitalize  the  downtown  life  

in  Tallahassee.  The  design  is  inspired  by  films  and  puts  on  

display  the  many  ac@vi@es  of  the  facility.

This project proposes an urban cinema and condominium mixed-use development. The mixed-use com-plex of the urban cinema and condominiums is set to revitalize the physical form and capacity for quality urban life in Tallahassee. In this age of continuous technological development the urban cinema mixed-use complex purports a facility that is contemporary, uses advanced digital media externally and internally whilst respecting the site’s historical zoning.

Tallahassee, Florida like most cities that are trying to emerge from the past and looking towards a future of being an urban hub, are experiencing challenges. These issues include trying to preserve the traces of history pres-ent in the landscape, while moving towards a city that embodies they key concepts of urbanism.

The  project  brief  required  the  analysis  of  an  under  used  plaza  in  the  urban  core  of  the  city.  ACer  

analysis  a  proposal  was  put  forward  for  the  changes  that  were  

necessary  to  transform  this  plaza  into  an  ac@ve  urban  space.

1. Eye/Street LevelAt eye level the plaza is lacking inter-est. There are no features to attract the passerby or to invite workers from the offices around the plaza to even 2. FoodThere are cafe's present on the plaza and they have some seating avail-able outside, however they do not feel part of the plaza but separated even no physical barriers exist.

3. CenterNo defined center exists in this very large plaza. The plaza has many features but they do not seem to be coherent.

4. Sittable SpacesWhile there are intimate spaces cre-ated by the shade of the trees, the seating that exists are not placed under the trees.

5. Sun, wind, trees and water The plaza has an abundance of trees to the south side which gives a nice micro climate to that area. The presence of trees in the plaza and their location makes a nice environ-ment. The water that exists is in the form of fountains that offer no inter-action with the public or the users of the space.

ISSUE SCORE

PROJECT INTENT

Create a graphic analysis with proposed Create a graphic analysis with proposed urban design solutions T to issues identi-fied in the public space. The project is based on applying bricolage principles, a method of “urban surgery” similar to Mi-chelangelo’s baroque modifications to the Capitiline Hill in Rome.

1. Eye/Street LevelCreate an explicit entrance. A clearly de-fined circulation path will be noticeable at street level.

2. FoodA series of food vendor will be located along the main circulation path.

3. CenterA clearly defined and identifiable center is created. All other minor focal points are connnected to the center of the plaza. At the center stands a water fountain, which is visible from all directions.

4. Sittable SpacesSittable spaces are created not only by Sittable spaces are created not only by benches under the trees but also by ledges around the park. The ledges around the green spaces are designed to accomodate persons sitting on the ledge. No fencing or obstruction is placed on the edge.5. Sun, wind, trees and waterSittable spaces are created not only by Sittable spaces are created not only by benches under the trees but also by ledges around the park. The ledges around the green spaces are designed to accomodate persons sitting on the ledge. No fencing or obstruction is placed on the edge..

3. SITTING LAWN- A green space that is used- Families can picnic, watch the children on the play-ground

4. PLAYGROUND- Playground is part of the tree shaded green area which acts as a barrier from the street- Creating a greater variety of surfaces in the plaza. more soft scape- Low wall around the some green areas to provideseating.

2. FOOD VENDORS & MONUMENT- Create a greater vari- Create a greater vari-ety of activities in the plaza, to pull people to the plaza and keep them coming back be-cause there is always something to do.

.

1. INTERACTIVE FOUNTAIN- The fountain will be an area where families can come to cool off during the hot summer months.- A waterpark is created on - A waterpark is created on the gently sloping surface.

Develop a series of design modifications / improvements based on the analysis of park existing conditions.

BRICOLAGE-Creating order from random fragments without removing the fragments.

The  project  intent  is  to  redesign  one  of  the  main  gateways  to  the  

city  of  Tallahassee.  This  is  done  by  transforming  this  stretch  of  

roadway  from  a  wasteland  of  sparse  buildings  to  a  connected,  

vibrant  stretch  of  roadway.

Project Intent To re-design one of the main gateTo re-design one of the main gate-ways to Tallahassee, this would be done by transforming the stretch of road from I-10 to John Knox Road. This gateway will serve as a point to highlight the city’s distinctive char-acter as vibrant, welcoming community.

Personal RoleThe project was completed as a five person team. My role included complete 2D digital preparation of the masterplan based on our group design strategy. I completed dia-grams that explained the design strategy and fulfilled the overall masterplan representation of the masterplan representation of the design goals.
