Analysis Board of Muncie, Indiana

This is an analysis board of Muncie comparing the differences between a downtown setting and a suburban setting. Where the downtown is more for the people and walking vs. the suburban setting is more car oriented.

2nd Urban Design Project

Now this project was along Massachusetts Avenue in Indianapolis.  The main focus was to bridge this site, because basically its a hole in the middle of a popular arts district.  The fire station site is moving due to the up coming super bowl, so we as students got a chance to design something new. This project actually had to do with more issues.  Such as parking... I hate parking.  There is so much you have to think about for parking and residents. Anyways I created about 101 parking structure integrated on the 2nd and park of the 1st level of a mixed use building.  I also created about 96 residential units varying in size  The design was a must for 1st floor retail, and street parking for the retail shops.  The whole district is filled with environment concerns, art opportunities, culture dealing with Indianapolis, and interesting commerce.  This site is lacking all of those things.

1st Urban Design Project

Well this is a project in Indianapolis along Pennsylvania Street and Ohio Street.  The main focus was to create a transportation node.  Since all that is there is a bus station and a few places to sit.  It has a lot of activity, space, and path problems especially those having to wait for a bus longer than 20 minutes.  My plan was to create GPS bus system along different ends of the site so people can decide where they want to go.  Whether its the basement cafe, or listen to music, or just enjoy the atmosphere.  My overall vision was to make it relaxed, inviting, and colorful
