A1Design Studio I

The freshman planning & design studio was designed to teach us the basic skills of hand drawing in order to be able to graphically communicate various scenarios involving site plans, section eleva-tions, and two-point perspective drawings. The following graphics are samples from several of the projects completed during this studio.

A2Design Studio II

Hartwell Business DistrictCincinnati, OH

During this freshman studio, we were introduced to analyzing local business districts using Geograph-ic Information Systems. Pairs of students were assigned one local business district to study. The quar-ter-long project consisted of four parts: physical analysis, social anal-ysis, historical analysis, and design intervention. In the process, students developed skills in design software such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, AutoCAD, and Google Sketchup.

A2Social/Historical Analysis

This part of the Neighborhood Business District project analyzed the social and historical back-ground of the neighborhood. Various maps and infographics demonstrate how the Hartwell Business District has changed over time. This helped us get an under-standing as to where development has occured in the past and where new development is needed.

A2Design Intervention

Hartwell ParkCincinnati, OH

After going through physical, social and historical analyses of the Hartwell Business District, students needed to come up with a design project that would both cater to the neighborhood’s needs and work to solve some of the neigh-borhood’s problems. What we came up with was a new public park that would help revitalize the area and give people a reason to get out of their cars in this not so pedestrian-friendly neighborhood.

A3Site Planning Studio

Mount Airy ForestCincinnati, OH

Vicinity Map

The purpose of this sophomore site planning studio was to learn how to create site planning projects that function well with surrounding neighborhoods, utilized land well, worked e�ciently with terrain and the natural environment, and utilized existing infrastructure. The �nal design of our site plan was based on a series of analyses conducted over the course of the semester.

Mount Airy Forest: Context Analysis

A3Context Analysis


In order to understand how our site plan was going to work with the surrounding neighborhood, we needed to do an analysis of certain variables in the surrounding neigh-borhood. Our maps of land use and zoning showed us what kinds of development are surrounding our site, and our bus, road, and sidewalk maps showed us how we could connect our development to the surrounding area.

Skills Utilized:ArcGIS

Mount Airy Forest: Context Analysis

A3Site Analysis


The site analysis helped us get an understanding about what the natural environment is like in Mount Airy Forest. We created this map and the other corresponding sections for this purpose. These graphics show that Mount Airy Forest is certainly a di�cult area to consider for development given the harsh topography.

A3Site Analysis


These graphics are an expansion of the topography map and sections on the previous pages. Speci�cally, we used the topography maps to analyze underground drainage, slope, potential landslide risk, shadows, and wind direction. We used these maps to get a further understanding of the area that we were working with and to narrow down a possible site selection.

A3Suitability Analysis


We analyzed several variables during this suitability analysis to get a sense of where the best site for development was located within Mount Airy Forest. Individu-ally, we analyzed slope & landslide risk, soil types, drainage, and exist-ing infrastructure. The center map show where the best sites were located after overlaying the four smaller maps. Green shows the most well-suited areas, and red shows the worst.

The maps to the right zoom in on the chosen site in sequential order. After the �nal site was chosen, we developed a road network and a pedestrian network for our site.

Several month of analysis resulted in this �nal site plan for our proposed developmnent in MountAiry Forest. These graphics show the overhead plan, and the photos that correspond to the map are from case studies that we used to design the feel of the site plan. The Google Sketchup photos show what the heart of the commercial district in this development may look like.

A3Site Model

The physical scale model of our site was created using GIS topography data. It was edited in AutoCAD and cut out in a beam dynamic laser machine. Each layer was stacked upon one another to create the topography. The structures were created by hand from basswood.
