    Designing in Paradise: Authenticity through a Contemporary Filter
    (University of Oregon, 2016) Woltz, Keri; Neis, Hajo
    The public promenade creates an opportunity to unite the fragmented city of downtown Honolulu, Hawaii with a series of linked social interventions. Reflective of the ancient Hawaiian zoning order, each intervention is conceptually based on the physical entities that occupied historic Hawaii. Mixed with the surrounding natural environment and programmed event space, each intervention creates a cultural sense of place.

    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.

    Stryiskyi Park Campus & Khutorivka Master Site Planning Strategies
    (University of Oregon, 2014-11-25) Wilson, Richard H.
    The Stryiskyi Park Campus is on its way to development. This drawing is illustrates the current and future potential of the east end of the campus. As the Church finishes construction and the library begins construction the interstitial landscape space will need to be addressed. In addition to this there is a need to understand the impact of a potential road will have on the plans for a new residence hall or sports field. Several configurations are tested amongst the constraints to inform the best use of the property. Strong influences on the site include the tree lined alley of Stryiskyi Park as the campus pedestrian entrance, the existing academic buildings, in addition to the interim lack of buildings, a vehicle drop off, solar access. Pedestrian nodes are identified and linked by clear and direct pedestrian pathways.

    Re-Connecting
    (University of Oregon, 2014) Hexberg, Kendra; Neis, Hajo
    There are no lifestyle adjustment services or military deprogramming seminars; discharged servicemen are left to find their own way. At Veterans Enclave discharged servicemen and women, regardless of their standing, are heralded back into civilian society with all the glory and help they deserve.

    Eastbank Community Church: Making and Healing Community
    (University of Oregon, 2014) Meller, Espirito; Gast, Gerry
    The Central Eastbank Waterfront is a unique opportunity to restore a healthy river-based lifestyle to a major city. The district should be river in character, not only location. The new image of Portland is a bustling, riverside creative industrial district where people live, work, and recreate; built at a human scale; with a healthy Willamette riverbank in the foreground and Mount Hood in the background. Portland's Eastbank District is an amazing healthy riverfront with robust water recreation and access, where you can play in the water and catch a salmon on your bike or kayak ride home...all the while being within a stone's throw of the downtown commercial core. The vision will be enabled by new zoning and development policy that makes medium scale mixed-use (industrial/commercial/residential) development financially accessible and required.

    gather. learn. build.
    (University of Oregon, 2014) Lavelle, Beth; Neis, Hajo
    The uneven development in historic Over-the-Rhine, Cincinnati is resulting in the rapid gentrification of the neighborhood and the displacement of the city’s most vulnerable urban poor. Without the support or participation of the long-time residents, current development practices are perpetuating the cycle of moving wealth and poverty around the city rather than creating sustainable, mixed-income neighborhoods. Resident empowerment and participation in the development process is critical to breaking this cycle. Rather than building housing for the low-income residents of Over-the-Rhine, this project establishes a framework to empower and build resident capacity. This project allows people to gather to determine their own needs, learn and access resources, and build their own solutions to take control of the development of their neighborhood.

    RE INVEST; RE USE; RE STORE
    (University of Oregon, 2014) Prassas, Alina
    Youth unemployment in Greece is devastating an entire generation and dramatically altering life. The catastrophic failure of global economics has led to more and more consumption, but without the demand needed to sustain its levels in Athens. This catastrophe has been especially apparent in Greece, and the youth of the nation are paying the highest price. Poor waste management is just another daily fact for many in Greece, but it leads to vast illegal landfills and leaching waste sites, as well as an unattractive and depressing urban landscape. The urban fabric of Metaxourgeio is decaying, and metro wide storm water management is lacking. Corruption plays heavily into many of these problems, and creating a transparent, open institution is crucial. By reinvigorating an old working-class neighborhood now home to many young people and immigrants in the heart of the city, hope and opportunity can be made. By creating local economies through community recycling and upcycling, the neighborhood will be engaged and prosper, while a startup innovation center will spark ingenuity and focus, and foster opportunity in the younger generation, routed in the potential of Metaxourgeio. Reclaiming public space for public use and focusing on green spaces will enrich and enliven the community.
