A site-planning studio project focused on revitalizing a central Eugene, Oregon, neighborhood.

Jefferson Neighborhood Studio

The work began with an initial studio deliverable: a 1-inch-equals-50-feet axonometric base map assembled from about ten separate nine-block areas, each delineated by a different student.

The selected area included the neighborhood school. Walking the streets and sketching site impressions led to a highly detailed drawing.

The drawing was accurate down to the number of canisters on utility poles, and the University later featured it in an invitation to a neighborhood open forum.

Work continued through the policy and planning phase, producing proposals for a new community center, community gardens, and infill housing.
