Item Open Access Bloomingdale Community Campus (k-8 arts joint use/ art magnet school): Rethinking an urban schools relationship to its community(University of Oregon, 2013-06) Manser, Elizabeth; Gast, GeraldItem Open Access Braddock Innovation Center: Reviving the Rust Belt(University of Oregon, 2013) Moyer, Adria; Neis, HajoThis project represents a multi-faceted urban design scheme to revitalize areas of Braddock, Pennsylvania.Item Open Access Center for Industrial Diversity: Reimagining Industry as an Ecological Artifact(University of Oregon, 2013) Kaneko, Hiroshi; Neis, HajoItem Open Access Community Harvest: Cultivating Security in Urban Food Deserts(University of Oregon, 2013) Cole, Laura; Neis, HajoItem Open Access The Cost of High-Rise Housing in Portland, OR(University of Oregon, 2014-12-08) Wilson, Richard H.The actual cost of high-rise housing in comparison to its land use can be an obscure topic. Information may not be widely available to determine the benefits of constructing tall buildings. This research paper aimed to document three specific case study high-rise housing projects, then compare them to one small scale housing type. This helped in understanding the primary differences between tall and small construction, and hinted, in a minor sense, at the sustainable implications of each. It was found that high-rise housing can be two to four times more costly than low-rise housing types. However the value in high-rise housing may be found, not in up-front cost to developers and investors, but to the community at large, and the preservation of diminishing natural landscape. This paper shall not conclude which is a better choice - high-rise or low-rise construction. However it should provide some figures to help better understand the potential cost difference.Item Open Access Empowering Regeneration: El Centro de Educación Agua(University of Oregon, 2013) Russell, Emily; Neis, HajoItem Open Access Helping Non-profits Help San Francisco(University of Oregon, 2013) Handly, Arthur; Neis, HajoThe primary goal of the Mission Street Development Project is to bring San Francisco closer to earthquake resiliency by providing a secure site for ‘essential city services.’ By providing a seismically strengthened facility for San Francisco’s non-governmental human services organizations, we can reduce the burden placed on the shoulders of our local government. This facility would be aimed at providing the emergency services during the days and weeks following a major disaster, such as food distribution, counseling and non-emergency medical care.Item Open Access The Karpeles Manuscript Museum: Creating Public Space on the Periphery of Historic Charleston: A Mending Wall to Bridge Neighbors(University of Oregon, 2013) Wood, Nate; Gast, GeraldItem Open Access MakerSPACE Portland Micro-Enterprise(University of Oregon, 2014) Wilson, Richard H.Item Open Access Measured Attachments, Portland, OR: Open Space Index Tool(University of Oregon, 2014) Wilson, Richard H.Item Open Access Mill City Center for Healthy Living: Creating a Network for Health in a Growing Downtown Community(University of Oregon, 2013) Soukup, Scott Jamison; Gast, GeraldItem Open Access Museum of Environmental Science and Energy: A new waterfront for the city of subdued excitement(University of Oregon, 2013) Winters, ScottItem Open Access P[re]faults: [Re]generative(University of Oregon, 2013) Moreno, Matthew; Neis, HajoItem Open Access [Re]cycle Dharavi(University of Oregon, 2013) Banjeri, Avik; Neis, HajoIn India's financial capital, Mumbai, the informal settlement known as Dharavi is home to nearly 2 million people who are packed into small and crowded living settlements. Dharavi's people both live and work within the confines of this neighborhood. The settlement has developed an illegal recycling industry that feeds its economy. The thousands of recycling industries in Dharavi coupled with the numerous textile industries account for nearly 1 billion dollars of annual revenue. These industries are housed in informally constructed industrial buildings in the 13 Compound of Dharavi. This thesis project strategizes incorporating a formal system that can work with the existing informal recycling system to help the community to repair the areas of the neighborhood that have deteriorated due to a lack of a proper waste management system.Item Open Access [Re]generative Design for the Los Angeles River(University of Oregon, 2013) Swanson, Amber; Neis, HajoMy proposal for this thesis studio will focus on a section of the Los Angeles River in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. The architectural intervention will be sited on a vacant parcel of land near Union Station, on the west side of the river channel. Here I am proposing an urban river interpretive center, a community gathering space with the focus of river habitat and flood education, and an urban playscape for the city. Its location, near the cultural neighborhoods of Chinatown, El Pueblo, and Little Tokyo allows it to access and celebrate the diverse history and culture of the area. This proposal will also take into account the larger urban context and could potentially become a key link in a network of parks and green-space and an important demonstration site for sustainable water management and multipurpose flood mitigation.Item Open Access [Re]source Kumasi: Supplementing food with knowledge to work towards independent food security(University of Oregon, 2013) Brendel, Ericka; Neis, HajoItem Open Access Rebirth: Regenerating Cairo's Manuscript Institute and Enhancing a Cultural District(University of Oregon, 2013) Atallah, Alexander; Neis, HajoThis project represents an architectural intervention to restore the Institut d'Egypte and related buildings and resources.Item Open Access Regenerative Space: A Design for the Future: Tohoku Spaceport(University of Oregon, 2013) Postma, Boyce; Neis, HajoThe final human catastrophic disaster is the failure of earth’s ability to support life. Due to ill-conceived human industry, natural planetary processes, or some extra-planetary intervention, this planet will not last forever. However, for the first time in the known history of this solar system, this predictable end does not necessarily mean the conclusion of human life. Facilities for such an evacuation have been proposed as early as the late years of the 19th century by thinkers such as Jules Verne and Konstantin Tsiolkowsky. I propose no less than ten locations in the world dedicated to the evacuation of humans and other life to extra-earth colonies within the next fifty years. This is the dissection of an architectural design process for a contemporary spaceport and the implications of such a typology on both local and global catastrophic disaster.Item Open Access The Unspoken(University of Oregon, 2013) Dobroth, Megan
