Jefferson Neighborhood Studio
This site analysis and proposal for the economic revitalization of a central Eugene, Oregon neighborhood began with an initial studio deliverable that included a 1" = 50' axonometric base map assembled from about ten separate nine-block areas, with each area delineated by a different student.
SITE ANALYSIS
I choose to work with an area that included a the neighborhood's school building, and then walked the streets to sketch my impressions of the site.
This led to a highly detailed drawing, accurate down to the canister count on utility poles, which the University later ended up featuring in a neighborhood open forum invitation.
My work on the O'Hara School Area base map was featured in the neighborhood open forum invitation.
I continued working with this area through the policy and planning phase of the project, in which I created proposals for a new community center, community gardens, and infill housing.
Used the axonometric base map on the left to illustrate the impacts of improvement policies, like the community center and infill housing on the right (orange and purple)
