ARCH 683 Report 11 S I T E The site is located at Willamette Street and West 11th Avenue in Downtown Eugene. Since the early 1900’s, Willamette Street has been Eugene’s main business street. In 1910, the street was paved and 6.2 miles of road were added across the city. Electric lighting came in 1912 and the first water line was added in 1914. The city built concrete sidewalks in 1915. A pair of streets, 11th Avenue and 13th Avenue, are considered minor arterials while Willamette Street is considered a neighborhood collector. 12 ARCH 683 Report NEIGHBORHOOD H I S T O R Y By the turn of the 21st century, more ornate buildings, such as the Montgomery Ward Building, were replaced by simpler façades.

Underwood is known for designing other prominent federal buildings, such as the Seattle Federal Courthouse and the Los Angeles Federal Building. Several murals can be found at either end of the lobby- they are the work of an internationally renowned Oregon artist, Carl Morris. Built in 1925, the McDonald Theatre is the sole architecturally intact example of a movie palace remaining in Eugene. Of the four original movie houses in town, the McDonald was the largest with a seating capacity of 1,400. Designed by Lee Thomas, a Portland architect, the stage was made to accommodate live theatre and motion picture productions. The McDonald Theatre represented the largest endeavor of the McDonald-Schaefers Company. The space is now a performing arts theater as well as a music venue. This building was constructed in 1929, the single example of a modernistic style applied to a commercial building. The design of the building was the product of Truman Phillips, a recent graduate of the University of Oregon’s School of Architecture. The Schaefers brothers were important to the development of the local downtown business community. The building is now a Senior and Disability Services center.

F R O N T D O O R Willamette Street serves as the front door to many businesses, past and present. The street contains wide lanes for cars and bikes, wide sidewalks, and space for parked cars. Wide sidewalks make it a more pedestrian- friendly street than West 11th Avenue. Therefore, students recommend orienting the main entrance of the new building towards Willamette Street. LTD’s main station is across the street. Hundreds of thousands of riders travel through the hub each year, making this site a very visible location. This diagram illustrates the maximum allowable height in this district. ARCH 683 Report 21 STUDENT SOLUTIONS FOR THE F R O N T D O O R The following images illustrate the students’ creative designs for the building facade on Willamette Street. The site is framed by LTD’s downtown station, therefore students paid special attention to its composition and character.

C O N C L U S I O N Student design projects demonstrate potential solutions to designing sustainable buildings within the city core of Eugene by following guidelines established by AIA COTE. Additionally, designs demonstrate what an ‘enoteca’ for southern Willamette Valley wineries could look like. Students conducted site and climate analyses as well as historical contextualization to better understand underlying conditions and determine what the designs should entail. The students added other program components to the enoteca program including affordable housing, bicycle repair, office spaces, and a market hall. These program components could enrich the downtown core and reinforce the transportation hub that Lane Transit District has established across Willamette Street. The principles of AIA COTE informed student designs. Students designs also explored ways to make use of abundant rainwater. Designs reinforced LTD’s emphasis on reducing private automobile use through design elements that enhance local pedestrian activity and bicycle use as well as public transportation. In addition to energy solutions, students explored reinforcing local agriculture by featuring market halls, demonstration gardens, and cafes. They tested the use of manufactured wood, including CLT, as the construction systems. Lastly, the students reinforced the character of existing downtown buildings while demonstrating how increased density might affect the area. The character of the buildings that students proposed reflects their observations of Eugene as both a physical place and as a cultural heart in the Willamette Valley. 38 ARCH 683 Report STUDENT W O R K Alex Tapia ARCH 683 Report 39 STUDENT W O R K Alex Tapia 40 ARCH 683 Report STUDENT W O R K Alex Tapia ARCH 683 Report 41 STUDENT W O R K Alex Tapia 42 ARCH 683 Report STUDENT W O R K Amy Arroyo ARCH 683 Report 43 STUDENT W O R K Amy Arroyo 44 ARCH 683 Report STUDENT W O R K Amy Arroyo ARCH 683 Report 45 STUDENT W O R K Amy Arroyo 46 ARCH 683 Report STUDENT W O R K Anisha Govindankutty ARCH 683 Report 47 STUDENT W O R K Anisha Govindankutty 48 ARCH 683 Report STUDENT W O R K Anisha Govindankutty ARCH 683 Report 49 STUDENT W O R K Courtney Sigloh 50 ARCH 683 Report STUDENT W O R K Courtney Sigloh ARCH 683 Report 51 STUDENT W O R K Courtney Sigloh 52 ARCH 683 Report STUDENT W O R K CONNECTING COMMUNITY DESIGN FOR ECOSYSTEM Revitalization of urban space, connecting community, and innovative sustainable planning.
