Coolavin Park Community CenterLexington, KY

Our design seeks to provide Jefferson Street and the surrounding area with a revitalized urban landscape with our site functioning as the nucleus of a network of pedestrian/vehicular/rail and bicycle connectors, greenery, and recreational activities, . This network will serve as a catalyst to the extensive redevelop-ment of Jefferson street beyond the confines of Third Street.

+ Derek Taylor 02

Through the deployment of individualized nodes focusing on social interaction, greater attention will be garnered for the surrounding area and its buildings. The nucleus of the network will function as a mechanism for change on a interper-sonal and community level by bringing added amenities to the adjacent residential districts. Additionally, it will serve as a transitional intersec-tion between athletics, neighborhood recreation, academia, and urban living. By focusing on a central node, our design will demonstrate the capabilities and intrica-cies of the links created by the stitching of program to heighten community involvement and social interaction.

Zooming out, our proposal is integrated with existing programs and urban redevelopment while offering its own unique formal and programmatic qualities. Taking ques from adjacent proposals, our design extends and enhances the develop-ment of greater Lexington.

Zooming in, our design will focus on creating habitats for social interac-tion. These microcosms will be indicative of the larger ideas at work in the design by becoming a vehicle for social intercommunication. Our designs on a whole share strong linkages but are reconfigured through a transformative scaling process.

This proposal aims to create a research hub that focuses on the connec-tion of city to water. A main goal was to activate the site with the public through various means. Docks, kayaks, canoes and rowing facilities will be imple-mented as well as a water education boat and barge tours. Running and bike paths populate the site creating a procession throughout the property.

The buildings are placed on the site in order to create or frame views of the historic watertower. The location of the research hub is a focal point on the site. It sits at the convergence of various programs creating an emphasis on the hub and therefore an empha-sis on education.

Idea Festival HeadquartersLouisville, KY

Design for the headquar-ters of the Idea Festival. The site is located on the outskirts of downtown Louisville in order to promote communal activity in the area. The headquarters incorpo-rates a variety of programs while exploring the blending of different components. Combining program enables work-place unity and promotes a strong sense of com-munity. The skin system was designed to allow for varying levels of natural light through the use of solids and voids creating a pattern of apertures. The material system investigates different strategies using metal and glass ribbon windows, while develop-ing the interior space and separating it into usable programmatic elements.

Idea Festival Headquarters PavilionLouisville, KY

The objective of the project was to design an open air pavilion that seeks to raise awareness for the Idea Festival.

The form was created through constructed geometry. Three separate curves, rotated and skewed were used to create the structure of the pavilion. The curves were then lofted together to create the interior and exterior facades of the pavilion.

Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PGDP)Paducah, KY

The PGPD was once the sole source of all uranium enrichment for the US's nuclear weapons and energy programs. The Department of Energy grows ever closer to decommissioning the facility and leaving Paducah, KY with job loss and a 10 square mile underground plume of heterogeneous contami-nants that was created by enrichment operations. Sponsored by a DoE Grant through the Center for Applied Energy Research, our Atomic Cities Research Group spent 18 months investi-gating how Paducah might turn this "problem" into solutions for building a prosperous future. We developed a strategic vision, proposed interac-tive tools, and produced an exhibit "(re)Making City" that outline a way forward.

The Manhattan Project History

The Manhattan Project, a research and development program led by the United States with participation from the United Kingdom and Canada, began in 1939 with the Einstein-Szilard letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The letter warned of the potential development of extremely powerful bombs of a new type. It urged the United States to accelerate their research into nuclear chain reactions. In a few short months, the Manhattan Project grew to employ more than 130,000 people and cost US$2 billion (roughly equivalent to $24.4 billion as of 2011). 90% of the total cost went toward building the factories and producing the fissionable materials, with less than 10% for development and production of weapons. Research and production took place at more than 30 sites across the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada. Ultimately, the research led to the development of two different types of atomic bombs which were used on Japan and led to their surrender.

An autocatalytic community is one that has successfully been developed in Education, Economy, Environment, and Energy. By using these four themes to evaluate a community, there is a thorough understanding of the opportunities and challenges each community faces. Assessing multiple communities in this manner establishes comparisons and relationships between them. This in turn, allows communities to learn from each other and become a single global community.

Henderson Municipal Power and Light Plant Henderson, KY

HMPL 1:A 65,000 square foot retired coal-fired power plant, located in down-town Henderson. The proposal accentuated the HMPL1 buildings pre-existing structural character based on the premise that the industrial space was a valuable and sentimental local com-modity. As such, our proposal maintained the pre-existing plant by developing and inserting structures into the build-ing and park.

Connection to Park

Connection to City

As it sits now HMPL #1 is surrounded by barricades with the Ohio River to the north, railroad tracks to the west, and paved roads to the south. It sits among a rich system of parks; however, the power plant acts as a barricade that blocks the continuation of nearly 2 mile long system of public parks.

We propose to break down these barriers and breathe life back into the site. Strategies to facilitate this continuation include introducing a rooftop park, a physical cut through the building in order to reach the riverfront, and multiple areas of greenscape on the extended site.

This proposal seeks to create a new cultural and civic center in the heart of downtown Hender-son, KY. Bringing amenities such as convention space, a restaurant, a clean energy research facility and integrated public space will do just that.

We proposed two major design changes the addition of an exterior stair through the building and a new public space on the site. The stair would separate the public functions from the private industry and connect the park to an elevated area set aside for dining and events. The public space was intended to function with the convention center in HMPL #1, providing new programmable space and incorporating the two and a half mile park into the design. The strategy of inserting a program under the park was conceptual-ized to extend into the city and to reclaim the existing parking lots as urban parkscapes, allowing the adjacent buildings to gain a visually attractive double amenity where there once was only function.

5th International Biennale Rotterdam

The University of Kentuckys College of Design was selected to participate in the 5th International Biennale Rotterdam under the theme Making City, focusing on the continued global urbanization that creates political, social, economic and ecological challenges. The Hender-son Project proposes a redevelopment of the Henderson Municipal Power and Light Power Plant (HMPL #1), a decommissioned coal fired power plant located on the Ohio River, in the heart of Henderson, KY. By re-purposing HMPL #1 and bringing new public amenities to the site, the project is intended to revitalize Hendersons waterfront and have a positive effect on the regions business, tourism, and urban fabric.

University of Pikeville Student CenterPikeville, KY

This Student Center for the University of Pikeville is located on the plateau of a mountain top removal site in Eastern Kentucky. A connection to the city of Pikeville was one of the main drivers of the project. Not only a physical connection with a gondola system that connects to downtown Pikeville but a visual connection as well. These visual connections include views to the highway and through the valleys of the mountain-ous region. The Student Center sits high on top of a mountain and glows like a beacon at night to the surrounding areas.

Thesis:The history of the site is something that is very important the University of Pikevilles Student Center. The site in which the facility sits on is a mountain top removal site. Mountain top removal tends to have a negative and controversial reputation. We want to address the issue and what mountain top removal has done to the site by rehabilitating the site. The Student Center at UPIKE will make the site a learning and educational place. Not only will standard curriculum be taught in the Student Center, there will be educational courses that address coal mining and mountain top removal. An emphasis will be placed on creating cleaner coal extraction courses and emissions as well as creating jobs for people in the surrounding region other than coal mining.

Promoting sustainable living and lifestyles is something else that is of great importance. A certain percentage of land on the site will be dedicated to agriculture which can be sold in the student centers urban market. HBEER housing will be provided to students in order to create a community on the mountain top. The building itself is LEED Silver certified and will be built with stainability in the foreground. Photovoltaics will be implemented on the roof and on certain metal panel facades in order to maximize on the suns natural energy potential. Daylight-ing will be used effectively in order to reduce heading and cooling loads. Geo thermal wells will be implemented in the fill land to the south of the site in order to produce the buildings own energy demands.

A connection to city will be created in numerous ways. A visual connection will be made by creating views within the form of the building. Panoramic views of Pikeville can be seen on virtually every floor. A physical connection to the city of Pikeville and more directly to the main campus of UPIKE is achieved through a gondola system. This transportation system creates a unique and exciting way to visit the student center. It also reduces pollution due to automobile traffic, and simply creates an ease of movement from the main campus to the satellite center

Community engagement will be a high focus in the design of the student center. A museum will be implemented that shows the history and future of coal. Community academic opportunities are present with non traditional energy education. Finally the physical attractions of the site, such as a large theater and planetarium will draw citizens to the site in order to partake in these unique activities.
