Stormwater and Urban Design: Urban Design Strategies for Four Sites on the Atlanta BeltLine

2012 , Ahuja, Rattandeer , Boron, Roberta , Gao, Long , Hampton, Travis , Hang, Yu , Hightower, John , Kai, Liao , Richter, Laura , Tao, Shiqi , Wallace, Justin , Xing, Hafei , Dagenhart, Richard , Debo, Thomas N.

A joint urban design studio with the School of Architecture and the School of City and Regional Planning. The Georgia Conservancy’s Blueprints for Successful Communities program, in partnership with graduate students from the College of Architecture at Georgia Institute of Technology, examined four different sites within metro Atlanta, adjacent to the Atlanta BeltLine (Ansley Mall - Peachtree Creek; Bobby Jones Golf Course/Colonial Homes - Peachtree and Clear Creeks; University Avenue - McDaniel Branch; and Boone Boulevard - Proctor Creek) and prepared design proposals incorporating stormwater hydrology assessment and green infrastructure as the foundation for urban design. . Coordinators were: Leah Barnett, Georgia Conservancy; Richard Dagenhart, R.A., Professor, Georgia Tech; Tom Debo, PhD, P.E., Professor, Georgia Tech; Johanna McCrehan, Georgia Conservancy, Katherine Moore, AICP, Georgia Conservancy. Course instructors were Richard Dagenhart and Tom Debo.

The Trace: San Diego

2010 , Thompson, Claire , Combs, Jason , Johnson, Louis , Wilkinson, Luke , King, Ben

Three overlapping systems exist within the context of the East Village site: The Geologic Setting is the most fundamental of systems San Diego sits atop the seam of two vast tectonic plates, the jagged movements of which have created the broken line of faults that lie beneath East Village. The Urban Framework was established unaware of the forces below. William Heath Davis and Alonzo Horton laid out the orthogonal grid of New Town San Diego in the latter half of the 19th century. It survives intact. Though such a grid of streets and blocks is a boon to city growth and flexible development, in some places its pattern is at odds with the geologic faults beneath it. One of these places is East Village. The Temporal Order is the ever-changing pattern of human inhabitants, their structures, and their activities, all of which fill the gridiron and make it their own. "The Market" is the expression of this pattern in the here and now. The time is ripe for human activity to re-inhabit East Village more fully, and change it once again to suite its needs. Not an obstacle, but an opportunity Yes, the geologic faults must be heeded in regards to future development. In some places streets and blocks cannot be used in the way that was originally intended. However, this does not mean a loss of utility. Instead, the trace of the faults becomes a framework upon which to build a system of open spaces. These open spaces, when designed correctly and surrounded with the proper uses, can be a catalyst to the revitalization of East Village.

Retreat, Adapt, Defend - Urban Design Response to Sea Level Rise in 5 Coastal Georgia Communities

2013 , Dagenhart, Richard , Debo, Thomas N. , Adams, Kevin , Aguilar, Johnny , Alhadeff, Daniel , Blumenfeld, Amy , Cadet, Sherene , Hutchison, Alyssa , Manley, Canon , McClure, Melvin , Plummer, Audrey , Riley, R. Dawn , Tuura, Logan , Wallace, Justin , Wang, Jiawen , Zhang, Yigong

This studio is part of a Georgia Conservancy Blueprints initiative assessing impacts of climate change and sea level rise for Coastal Georgia. The studio was organized into five teams to address issues five cities: Savannah, Tybee Island, Brunswick, Darien and St. Marys. Student teams visited each city, meeting with local officials and leaders of non-profit organization who were involved in adapting to climate change.

Beyond Metrics: Designing the Master Street Plan

2010 , Knight, Paul

Our current system of development regulations attempts to mechanize the design process by molding the complexities of urbanism into simple and naive ratios. This regulatory machine acts only on the parcel and fails to accommodate for the city. As an alternative I will propose a principle-based system of design for the generation of a master street plan that will lead to a more sustainable and holistic form of urbanism.

Educating The Edge City: Anchoring a Mixed Use Neighborhood with a College Campus

2010 , Farr, Robert

A variety of uses are stronger when integrated together than apart. By integrating a community college into a mixed-use redevelopment of a strip mall, I am resolving two distinct problems: fragmentation in edge cities and the town-gown isolation of conventional campus planning. I propose that the design of a hybrid mixed-use public space and college quad condenses this dual problem into a singular social space. This will allow for a variety of people with different backgrounds and experiences to interact within a dynamic environment elevating both the college and the community.
