Downtown Atlanta 2041: Autonomous Vehicles and A-Street Grids

2016-08 , Dunham-Jones, Ellen , Blakeley, Meredith , Bonn, Sarah Jane , Goldstein, Eric , Huang, Shijia , McMullen, Meghan , Pang, Lu , Payson, Mikhail , Reeves, Blake , Scott, Stacy , Shrestha, Animesh

Downtown Atlanta 2041 is a speculative look 25 years into the future at the opportunities available to build on parking lots and create a walkable network of Class A streets and distinctive neighborhoods around Downtown’s many assets. The design proposals are based on conversations with stakeholders, analysis of current conditions as well as bold assumptions about the future impact of autonomous vehicles. The work was produced by graduate students at Georgia Tech in the Master of Science in Urban Design, (MSUD) spring 2016 studio, under the direction of Professor Ellen Dunham-Jones in the School of Architecture in the College of Design.

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.

International Urban Design Studio : Shanghai 2010

2010 , Getty, Drew , Thompson, Claire , Williams, Galen , Jones, Paul , Murphy, Diana , Tabor, Reginald , Johnson, Louis , Sanders, Julie , Ghizoni, Renato , Morrow, Edward , Wallace, Ross

In response to a lack of urbanity and a voided public realm, this project is an attempt to redefine the fabric of Lujiazui through tactical interventions in the urban landscape. Part of our approach is to accept the existing condition of the site and respond to the site through the imposition of a new order. This new order will take advantage of the existing movement systems which pulse potential energy through the site. Given this flux condition, the tactics are thought of as interations of a flexible framework. The design framework is composed of 3 elements (path, node, cofetti) which adapt to interpretation and contingency yet provide a clear foundation for urban development.

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.

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.

Brookwood Alliance Plan

2010 , Duy, Laurence Nguyen , Bano, Salma , Lawrence, Nathan , Lee, Sandy So-Jung , Delinsky, Michael , Tittle, Derrick , Tuura, Logan

Brookwood is located on the periphery of the core of Atlanta. The neighborhood sits between the major urban growth poles of Buckhead to the north and Midtown to the south. The Brookwood Alliance is comprised of the four neighborhoods of Ardmore Park, Brookwood Hills, Collier Hills and Collier Hills North combined with the commercial corridor of Peachtree Road. Peachtree Road serves as the spine of the community and acts as the major north-south point of access. On either side of this spine, the Alliance neighborhoods consist predominantly of single-family detached homes along with low-rise multifamily developments. Peachtree is characterized by low to high rise office buildings interspersed with single story retail. The neighborhood experiences a large volume of vehicular traffic throughout the day, driven by large visitor and employment attractors and a lack of access infrastructure in the area. With few roads capable of distributing traffic, it ends up funneling down quiet residential streets. Land values in both Midtown and Buckhead have risen substantially over the last decade, putting serious development pressure on the Brookwood neighborhood. The recent economic downturn is seen as an opportunity to better define the future of the neighborhood. The Georgia Institute of Technology Urban Design Studio was charged with engaging the community in their pursuit of a coherent vision of the future of their neighborhood. The intent is to take this vision and arm the community with a set of design strategies that can be used in implementing this vision. This report will begin with a brief overview of the existing conditions in Brookwood, followed by a detailed explanation of each of three design strategies relating to: the Peachtree Street Design, Peachtree corridor Development and transportation Accessibility. Through multiple public meetings, this organizing scheme emerged as a means of focusing on the core problems facing the neighborhood.
