The 2014 Competition was focused on the city of Nashville, in the Sulphur Dell district, just North of the Capitol. Teams of five students representing at least three disciplines have two weeks to devise a comprehensive and financially viable development program for the real, large-scale site.

The site in Nashville is focused on building a community around the new stadium being built for the city’s baseball team. The proposal’s three tenets were a healthy, connected, and future-oriented urban lifestyle, while addressing issues of context, such as flood mitigation from the Cumberland River, and proximity to the capitol and downtown.

PHASE 1 Typologies20% of total development



The highlight of the design is the conversion and re-purposing of the superstructure of the historic Ironworks, located on the banks of the Cumberland. Aging condos currently fit in under the metal roof of the building, and effectively cut off the rest of the neighborhood from the river. Converting the space into a partially open-air community center and plaza creates a destination at the end of Nashville’s intercity “Groove” bike-way and walking path.

Situated on Sunset Blvd., at the base of the hills, this project brings the quiet community of the neighborhoods above to the busy thoroughfare of one of L.A.’s most famous streets. Responding to the rise of multi-generational households, the complex provides opportunities for encounters between residents of all ages.

L.A. MULTI-GENERATIONAL HOUSING

The design leverages the elevation change to produce a seemingly vertical community while providing ground-floor ADA access to almost all of the units. Connected verandahs and linked semi-private courtyards foster interaction between residents.

As an essential element of residential design, the kitchen is treated as the nexus of each unit. It is placed as the link between the communal space of the courtyards and the interior living areas. This utilizes Semper’s concept of “hearth architecture” to provide places for informal gathering.

The boardwalk-like paths that ring the courtyards widen out into porches to create eddying points in the circulation. The threshold is effectively widened to become an inviting place to slow community circulation and foster encounters between neighbors.

Each design element is addressed in its combination with other elements to form new architectural reactions and compounding spatial effects.

The goal of this project was to design a product, and its branding/marketing scheme, as well as the building in which the product would be assembled. In doing so, the manufacturing process and all of the other constituent parts of a corporate identity could be aligned.

The primary colors used in the logo can be

swapped as seen in the business cards to

accommodate multiple media types while retaining

the brand characteristics. Lenth of leading and

trail ing lines can also be adjusted to suit the

situation. The figural “V” can also be used

independent of the type, provided that the brand

colors are used.

Similar to the company logo, the

colors of the individual elements

can be interchanged based on

the color of the background. The

tagline text is eliminated on the

actual product, and is primarily

used for marketing spreads.

All text is to be in the company

font, and when possible, should

be printed in the brand colors.

Black and white can be

substituted if necessary, but an

effort should be made to keep

the brand image clear.

located on a brownfield site in the heart of Chicago, the factory was designed to be part manufacturing center, part tourist attraction, and part marketing scheme. This turned the building and grounds into an architectural propoganda generator.

As part of the company’s image of survival and self-sustaining practices, the sculpture park on the grounds does double duty as a vertical wetlands for greywater treatment.

Canopy tours are a combination of ziplines, aerial bridges, staircases, and other tree structure elements. While not usually considered within the realm of traditional architecture, issues of circulation, dynamic structural design, and environmental context are directly addressed. Underlying the entertainment aspect is the balance of perceived risk and implied safety.

One of the challenges in canopy tour design is reclaiming elevation. This is usually a visual highlight in the experience and requires the most technical attention to detail, particularly in avoiding excess stresses on the trees.

2008

2009Designing structures in trees requires consideration of a dynamic environment. Not only do the supporting structures react unpredictably to environmental stimulus, but their growth and physical changes over time require consideration in the initial design. Additionally, attachment hardware design is important for both the health of the tree and ease of installation.

The addition of a bridge in the tour presents an opportunity for pause in the circulation that allows participants to consider the surroundings. With multiple tensioned cables and people on the line, forces on the trees multiply exponentially and must be designed for to ensure the health of the trees.
