Chattanooga Downtown Westside 2009

2009 , Dagenhart, Richard , Yang, Perry Pei-Ju , Cambeul, David , Duong, Binh , Hussy, Heather , Kovacheva, Maria , Thorn, Robert

An urban design studio focused on the Westside of Downtown Chattanooga. sponsored by the City of Chattanooga. The studio project had four priorities for which urban design was to provide a framework for the Westside. First was to examine alternative to the grade separated Highway 27 that divides the Westside from Downtown. Second was stormwater management with the aim of reducing or eliminating combined sewer overflows from the Westside into the Tennessee River. Third was to extend the Riverfront Park to and along the River on the Westside, incorporating existing industry and weaving a future mixed-use industrial zone. Fourth, and finally, to explore options for future development of housing and commercial projects anticipating the impact - aesthetic and infrastructural - of the new riverfront park and extensive green infrastructure to define an expanded public domain.

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.

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.
