IDENTITY: HISTORY. ACCUMULATION. CULTURE.Repurposing of a Vacant Lot in an Area of Gentrification Fourth Year Undergraduate Spring 2011

Every site possesses an identity, established through the accumulation of objects and memories from people and development over time.

The site in Avondale is anchored by trees and artifacts that form spaces for music, recreation, vending and social gatherings.

Together, these spaces and events create history and glorify the culture of Avondale.

Existing Trees as Anchors for GrowthRespecting History and Providing for Future Needs

BACK IN THE DAYAIA Competition: Designing for the Aging | Fourth Year Undergraduate | Winter 2011

Collaboration with Benjamin Morris and Ingrid Schmidt

WE ARE INTERESTED IN STORIES.We feel that the most important aspect ofaging is the opportunity to leave a legacy.

We would like to encourage people to share their storiesin conversation as well as in art forms.

We found an existing neighborhood that we feel has been overlooked in terms of

low-income and senior needs.

The buildings show the wear of neglect,decay mingling with residual ornamentation

to weave unique cultural tales.

Senior Living UnitCreating a Narrative for Daily Routine

The residents follow their daily routinefrom their porch, through the front room,

up their stair and into their house.

Their routine is symbolizedby the structure on which they place their keys,

their pills, their spices, their pictures.

The structure is called the ‘ribbon’and it flows through the collective spaces,

pulling the people through portals of privacy.

Residential Building DesignPublic Spaces in Neighborhood Vacant Lots

A man plays the saxophone on the roof of the collective.

Family members of the happy couple dance.

A small girl wears red sparkly shoes, showing them off to everyone at the party.

The happy couple is called on for a toast.It is their fiftieth wedding anniversary

today.
