Project 2.0: SITE

Last week the studio presented our research for Project 2.0: SITE.
The site study is conceived as an "immersive" learning experience, bringing together data and on-the-ground research for learning about the neighborhoods where we are designing, Guadalupe and Clarksville. Our research offers a contemporary snapshot of the neighborhoods, with background as to the changing dynamics that affect the areas. These "findings" contribute to our growing studio archive.

The data sectors that we studied include:
1. Topography (Geography/Geology/Climate/Soils/Plants)
2.  Social History (Settlement Patterns/Demographics/Land Use/Ownership)
3.  Institutional History (Churches/Schools/Youth Centers/Neighborhood Associations/Libraries/Museums)
4.  Regulatory Framework (Codes/Covenants/Restrictions/Guidelines/Zoning/Rights of Way/Planning Initiatives)
5.  Networks (Transportation/Open Space/Parks/Data/Telecomm/Zoning/Retail)
6.  Site Models
