The Blueprints team was asked to examine the 16-mile stretch of Interstate 85 in Troup County, Georgia dedicated to Ray C. Anderson in 2014, in honor of his outstanding achievement and the legacy he left for his hometown of West Point, and for the rest of the world. An interstate highway was used to honor a true environmentalist. But, how can a piece of infrastructure, that is inherently unsustainable and a large catalyst for environmental pollution and degradation, truly begin to commemorate Ray's legacy and his pursuit of sustainability? That question serves as the design challenge presented to the faculty and students in the Georgia Tech Scho0ol of Architecture Design and Research Studio by the Georgia Conservancy and the Ray C. Anderson Foundation. Instructor was Richard Dagenhart, Professor Emeritus, Georgia Tech. Studio Managers were Elizabeth Ward, Kevin Bacon, Cassie Branum, Ryan Gravel, David Green, and Jeff Williams from Perkins + Will.
Atlanta Braves Baseball Stadium Redevelopment: Stadium Neighborhoods TAD

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010) Dagenhart, Richard ; Green, David ; Chapman, Jutin ; Burtoyan, Hrach ; Chapman, Justin ; Hawthorne, Dane ; Kellog, Kristin ; Smith, Taylor

An urban design studio and research project advising the City of Atlanta and the Atlanta Braves regarding proposed redevelopment of the site of the Fulton County Stadium and Turner Field. The site was within the boundary of the Stadium Neighborhoods TAD (Tax Allocation District) which provides tax increment financing for infrastructure and public purpose projects. The primary aim of the project was to prepare a decision framework and an illustrative plan for the stadium parking lots for future commercial development, housing and deck parking for about 5000 spaces to serve the Braves on game days and conventional real estate demands. Of particular concern was weaving the project with the surrounding neighborhoods, which had long been impacted by urban urban renewal, parking overflow into neighborhoods, and lack of community services and jobs. The project became moot after the Braves left Downtown Atlanta for the suburbs. However, the City of Atlanta adopted the report as the basis for a Request for Proposals for public/private entities to acquire the Turner Field Stadium and parking lots for other uses. The site was awarded to a private developer in partnership with Georgia State University’s expansion and athletic facilities. The report was also the basis for a Neighborhood Benefits agreement between the surrounding neighborhoods and the Georgia State/Developer partnership.

Chattanooga Downtown Westside 2009

(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.

Fort Valley - Making Connections

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2002) Campbell, Travis ; Carpenter, Ann ; Dyson, Wendy ; Johnson, Raushan ; Obregón, Oliver ; Patterson, Lynn ; Pearlstein, Alex ; Poile, Aidan ; Ward, Jason ; Leigh, Nancey Green ; Skach, John ; Dagenhart, Richard

The Georgia Institute of Technology City and Regional Brownfield Redevelopment Studio began with a focus on 37 sites that were identified as brownfields in Fort Valley when its application for EPA Brownfield grants was made. It soon became clear that, in the broadest sense of the term, Fort Valley is a brownfield community. Consequently, the brownfield redevelopment plan presented here is, in fact, a community-wide redevelopment plan. For the key to addressing wide-scale scattered brownfields in a community is found by placing the sites within the overall community context. An overall redevelopment focus can help strengthen the local economy and market conditions which, in turn, can generate the interest in, and demand for, re-using its wide array of brownfield sites. While the history of Fort Valley suggests that is has been a typical small southern town, divided down the middle by railroad tracks and race, the full potential of Fort Valley's future rests upon the town resolving that "there is no other side of the tracks." This requires enhancing the value and ability to contribute of all members of the community. The town has to resolve and rectify past environmental injustices and demonstrate its commitment to prevent future environmental injustices. This requires the incorporation of current business and economic development activities. Most importantly, it will require making connections between the poorly functioning districts and nodes of the community so that they can augment and support each other. Successfully making connections will mean that the whole of Fort Valley can become greater than the sum of its disparate parts. Thus, the focus of this redevelopment plan is on making connections for Fort Valley. The research and analysis of the studio has revealed numerous and exciting proposals for making connections that will transform all of Fort Valley into a quality small-town for everyone.
