Yep. It’s done. Waiting on the doors to open to the Commons so I can sleep. Sleep would be nice.

perkins ‘to do’ list

I have to get an experiential perspective completed. I have to develop a prototype of the market space under the interstate(add to model, section/elevation, diagram). I have to develop a plan for this proposed passenger train stop(refer to Peter Calthorpe).

After a week long hiatus in Paris, Perkins road waited patiently for my return. Based on the pin-up with Jim, I have done a little research on Peter Calthorpe and his approach to “transit-oriented developments.” His book, The Next American Metropolis: Ecology, Community, and the American Dream, describes transit-oriented development.

The idea presented in class on creating an island on site was mentioned. The idea could take form by redirecting Perkins traffic effectively by ‘pinching’ the corridor in two places, north of I-10 and South. Northbound traffic is detoured to the east and southbound traffic is detoured west, only to reconnect together on each side [...]

Perkins overpass working as a destination. Slowing users down to stop and smell the roses. For that matter, slowing traffic down to allow for users to accomplish this.
I like the analogy of that strip of Perkins serving as a Wal-Mart turned inside out. A place for locals to get necessities without having to travel too far. [...]

Color theory and the use of a primary color to represent a single corridor. Begin to multiply those corridors and colors results in dynamic corridor intersections and spaces represented with secondary and tertiary colors. Sounds complicated but pretty simple when you think about it.
The site has three main corridors: the road, the track, and the [...]

Dynamic corridor intersections. The most expressive image I captured is from the Perkins overpass looking down to the tracks below. Two corridors are apparrent, the vehicilar and the freight. Another corridor is present in the diagonal communication lines bisecting the image. From these lines, the cultural dimension is represented in the form of St. Patricks [...]

Chilling…How does a site design live up to and match the intensity of emotion and circumstances surrounding the location? Flight 93 is the reciprocal of what we are designing. A site with pre-defined incalculable meaning and symbolism vs. a site with no existing meaning. On the one hand, living up to the level of sensitivity [...]
