    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 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.

    Articulating Everyday Space, Denver 2009
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009) Branum, Cassie ; Finkelstein, Aria ; Kovacheva, Maria ; King, Ben ; Lawrence, Nathan
    Denver 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.

    Project Summary. Location: Hahira is a small Georgia town with about 1300 residents. Interstate Highway 75 connects Hahira to Valdosta, Georgia, a regional economic center, about 15 miles to the south, near the Georgia - Florida border. Situation: Hahira like many small southern towns grew from the intersection of two roads with a nearby railroad depot. While many small towns are declining with vacant main streets and deteriorating neighborhoods, Hahira has continued to thrive as a traditional small town. Today, however Hahira is changing. Inadequate sanitary sewer infrastructure limited growth for several decades. The recently completed sewer system will allow new growth, permitting the population to expand from 1300 to a maximum capacity 3000 residents. Valdosta's continued growth makes Hahira a very desirable place to live. One can live in a traditional small town, and yet be able to commute to jobs in a metropolitan area of almost 100,000. Hahira citizens are now concerned with preserving the advantages of its small town character while attracting and accommodating the new growth.
