ItemRetreat, Adapt, Defend - Urban Design Response to Sea Level Rise in 5 Coastal Georgia Communities(Georgia Institute of Technology, 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, YigongThis 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.

ItemStormwater and Urban Design: Urban Design Strategies for Four Sites on the Atlanta BeltLine(Georgia Institute of Technology, 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.

ItemThe Trace: San Diego(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010) Thompson, Claire ; Combs, Jason ; Johnson, Louis ; Wilkinson, Luke ; King, BenThree 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.

ItemInternational Urban Design Studio : Shanghai 2010(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010) Getty, Drew ; Thompson, Claire ; Williams, Galen ; Jones, Paul ; Murphy, Diana ; Tabor, Reginald ; Johnson, Louis ; Sanders, Julie ; Ghizoni, Renato ; Morrow, Edward ; Wallace, RossIn 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.

ItemChattanooga Downtown Westside 2009(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009) Dagenhart, Richard ; Yang, Perry Pei-Ju ; Cambeul, David ; Duong, Binh ; Hussy, Heather ; Kovacheva, Maria ; Thorn, RobertAn 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.

ItemArticulating Everyday Space, Denver 2009(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009) Branum, Cassie ; Finkelstein, Aria ; Kovacheva, Maria ; King, Ben ; Lawrence, NathanDenver has fared better than most American cities in the recent global economic downturn. Over the past decade, Denver’s real estate market has not expanded as rapidly as in other fast-growing U.S. cities. The city enjoys a diverse industrial base, including the booming alternative energy and bioscience sectors. On the office front, Denver’s low vacancy rate has changed little in the past year while lease rates have continued to increase. 2007 marked Denver’s biggest year in tourism, adding fuel to an economy which should emerge from the global financial crisis poised for continued growth and prosperity.
