    COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR

  • RE-ENTITLING WOMEN OF MANYATTAGender Inclusionary Development

    Within Kisumu we have observed that, as a result of little access

    to formal jobs, women have carved out a formidable position for

    themselves in the informal sector. Our research highlights these

    women as the main driving force of the micro-economy, not only in

    Kisumu, but more specifically in Manyatta, making them potential

    and critical game changers for the socio-economic prosperity of

    this sprawling informal settlement. Knowing that Manyatta will need

    to respond to Kisumus expected urbanization, there is a critical

    window of opportunity to guide this response. This can deal with

    how the prevalent culture of Kisumu can begin to view women as

    contributors to the local workforce. To empower women as the

    agent of change, this project will emphasize the importance of

    the scales and nature of social spaces, support typologies, and

    constitutional policies that recognize and emphasize the socio-

    economic identity of Manyatta.

    We view the women of Manyatta as critical assets in the citys

    development. By strengthening the relationship between women

    and their occupation of open/social spaces, we envision a socio-

    economic densification that will benefit Manyattas development

    and that of Kisumu as a whole.

    Womens Collective is Established

    Open space is critical to the way Manyattas development is envisioned. To achieve the appropriate variety of social spaces, a framework of women-centric, form-based zoning has been proposed.

    Social spaces are defined by family sizes and respond to the density of activity within them. The proposed building typology corresponds to the

    TESTING SITE

    characteristics of the nearby road. The development of the ground space responds to activities and facilities that are twofold, focused both on the enhancement of economic productivity and on the full integration with family activities. For example, one combination of the form-based zoning framework which uses a double commercial + residential production

    + large courtyard provides the Collective with spaces to add value to their raw products. The production spaces are complemented by support facilities such as storage spaces and easy access both to distribution and selling. A proportion of the ground floor development also caters to facilities such as day-care centers or learning spaces for children.

  • BECOMING BIONOMICAnchoring the Regional Demand

    New Rochelle holds the capacity to become a city with a vibrant

    Downtown Area, but lacks a trigger to this development. In the

    other hand, on the Regional Scale, innumerous Biotech related

    institutions are seeking for a Biotech Research Park which needs

    60ac. By Marring the demand and the assets that a city Like New

    Rochelle has, strategic position on the regional scale, proximity with

    transportation and availability of land, this project aims to introduce

    a Biotech Research Park on the city.

    Becoming Bionomics first create an anchor point, Multilevel Urban

    Connector (MUC), which is located in the heart of the city, the T.O.D

    Site. MUC will host programs will further support the future Biotech

    Research Park, help the city to develop a vibrant Downtown Area

    and trigger the development.

    The project also plans to amplify the performance of existing

    amenities like the train station and Parking Garage. This approach

    will further create strategies that can guide future development and

    contribute to a healthy urbanity.

  • ECOLOGICAL OUTPUTRemmediating environmental injustice by producing energy

    East Harlem presents itself as an environmentally unjust

    neighborhood within New York City. This neighborhood presently

    has 4 points of major air pollution and its exposed to co2 emissions

    of the FDR drive, as well as C.S.O overflow in the East river.

    We propose a combined remediation and production system,

    established through and algae urban farm, which will treat the

    environment in East Harlem and could ultimately be applied on

    other environmentally unjust sites of the region.

    Through the introduction of an trigger point this project aims to

    attract investors and start the process of treatment of water and

    air. This point is a research center/Algae Urban Farm to regenerate

    the economic, social and ecological aspects within the site. This

    approach will further create strategies that can dissipate in East

    Harlem guiding future development and contribute to a healthy

    urbanity.

    Rio de Janeiro, BR - FIRJAN Cultural Center of the Creative Industry

    Located in a quite busy and high density neighborhood in Rio de

    Janeiro, the site was understood as an oasis. It possessed a large

    garden and small built-up areas. This asset was respected by

    the project which incorporates the flow of the neighborhood and

    donates part of the garden to the population. Like this CFIC creates

    more than a public building but a public space.

    The project had another premise, which was to work with pre

    existences of the site, such as the historical buildings. The goal was

    potentialize them and use them as catalyzers for the integration of

    different pieces of the project.

    The conservation and retrofitting of the Stable was an important

    point for defining the structural and formal party building. It serves

    as the composition axis for the artistic and cultural segment, it is

    also and nodal point for the program by being the reception of the

    building.

    The outdoor building, which is the station, takes on the role with

    his informative and attractive facade LEDs and its implementation

    in porch. It acts as an articulator of flows from the various means of

    transport that are there.

  • Madureira Suburban Platforms

    The Suburban Platforms are parasites positioned on the railway

    line and absorb the intense flow of people coming from the train

    stations. Their main objective is the development of centralities by

    providing subsidies for concentrate activities and in favor of an city

    polycentric development.

    They are formed from a module that together forms a system.

    This system seat on the railway line beginning on the stations and

    expands according to need.

    Despite of being a generic System these structures are intended

    adapt themselves to each environment where they are implemented.

    Its modular spaces allows a wide variety of programs that may

    change according to necessity of the sites.

    The Suburban platforms are generating large opportunities for

    development offering new vacant land within saturated suburban

    areas. Further than creating new programs the Platforms offer the

    possibility to connect existing buildings through its versatile system

    of plugs.

    Alternative Futures for New Rochelle: The Next Generation Live/

    Work City is the culmination of two interdisciplinary design studios

    at the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation

    and the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science

    at Columbia University, representing the collective work of 73

    graduate students and 16 faculty members. As well, we have

    enjoyed the input of numerous professionals from New Rochelle

    and the region. The Urban Design Lab at Columbias Earth Institute

    has played an important role in defining the studios emphases and

    in synthesizing the studios work into the format of this publication.

    This report projects future development scenarios for New Rochelle

    within the context of the New York City region and the greater context

    of Long Island Sound. A diversity of possibilities is explored, but an

    overriding concern engages the ecological considerations related to

    New Rochelles unique position as a transportation hub on the edge

    of the most urbanized estuary in North America. Representative

    sociological and technical considerations associated with the urban

    ecological strategies are evaluated.

    This report offers alternative approaches to addressing development

    challenges by fostering the growth of knowledge-based economies

    in New Rochelle. The city should look inward, taking advantage of

    its creative and intellectual local labor force in order to successfully

    attract job creating industries to the downtown area. This approach

    could transform New Rochelle from a mainly commuter community

    into a thriving and resilient live-work city.

    storefronts are evidence of the citys economic stagnation. The following projects are rethinking current land use patterns and pro-posing different mixed function en-vironments. Based on the existing growing human capital base and local institutions in New Rochelle, the city has the potential to harbor and incentivize cluster economies such as biomedical, research and development, media, pharmaceuti-cal, education and the arts.In this section, projects engage with the following challenge: How can the city spatially transform in order to allow for these new inno-vative and complex urban players? These designs seek to improve existing infrastructure, by utilizing regional resources and capitaliz-ing on the economic opportunities embedded in the city.

    The City of New Rochelle will not only host innovation and knowl-

    edge economies, it will also become an innovative urban model

    for other cities in the United States.

    Talent Oriented Development, Dependencities and Becoming Bionomic aim to explore differ-ent approaches to Transit Ori-ented Development (T.O.D.) in the Northeastern Corridor. These proposals seek to understand knowledge within the same context as economy, using private-public interaction as a catalyst for devel-oping an infrastructure of talented thinkers and growing businesses. The following designs are not meant to be finalized renderings

    of specific buildings or spaces; their purpose is to provoke a shift in thinking of and about the city. In the following chapter, the projects reveal the need to re-think the cur-rent suburban car-centric model of New Rochelle and rebrand it as a compact, innovative city within a regional network of transit oriented urban cores. The City of New Ro-chelle will not only host innovation and knowledge economies, it will also become an innovative urban model for other cities in the United States.

    According to the Regional Inno-vation Policy, there is a growing consensus among both academics and politicians that the innovation processes have a pronounced re-gional dimension and that the rel-evance of region-specific features for innovation processes is indeed increasing (2005). New Rochelle is part of a new generation of cities which are reexamining their role and shifting from suburban-com-muter communities into diverse, dynamic hubs of knowledge and capital. New Rochelle sits on the intersection of a very productive

    region with a desire to collaborate and build a 21st century economy. Dozens of the nations top colleges and universities are connected via the Metro-North and Amtrak rail. Most of these are located along a five hour rail commute connecting New York City, Boston and Phila-

    delphia. New Rochelle has organi-cally encountered the next frontier in suburban development. The constant influx of students has pre-sented the city with the opportunity of growth and inclusion within the knowledge based economy. According to Komninos, intelligent

    New Rochelle is part of a new generation of cities which are

    reexamining their role as suburban commuter communities into

    diverse, dynamic hubs of knowledge and capital.

    In the past decades, academics, city officials, social scientists and design professionals have noticed a shift in thinking about innovation and cities. Cities are beginning to transform into interconnected communities of knowledge, productivity, creativ-ity and innovation. The ability of cities to tap into the innovation economy is not a direct result of the creation of new knowledge and patents. It lies in the ability of the community to adopt new technologies, create a strong hu-man capital base and remain a flexible host to incoming indus-tries.

    cities are defined as territories with a high capacity of learning and in-novation, which becomes embed-ded in the creativity of its popula-tion, their institutions of knowledge creation and their digital infra-structure for communication and knowledge management (2006). In recent years, New Rochelle has been unable to retain its student population - an educated, talented class of young individuals. It cur-rently suffers from a cycle known as brain drain where talented young entrepreneurs move where start-up incentives are provided and social connectivity is promot-ed. How then, does New Rochelle retain its graduates and young professionals?Many cities have opted to pro-mote urban regeneration strate-gies that focus on the return to downtown with a strong emphasis

    To be at the leading edge of the in-novation economy implies having the capacity to expand and foster new industries and networks. The current planning regulations of New Rochelle, particularly in the downtown area, have resulted in a segregation of uses that goes against current planning practices for innovative cities. Overly regu-lated public spaces, proliferation of empty parking lots and vacant

    on economic development strate-gies. However, many case studies show the importance of moving away from purely physical strate-gies of beautification of the public realm into the creation of places of interaction, which in turn transform traditional social networks and promote cultural diversity.

    By marrying the demand of a Biotech Research Park on the regional scale with the advantages of New Rochelle, this project aims to create an anchor point for all biotech related companies and educational and medical institutions within the region. The first phase is the Multilevel

    Urban Connector (MUC) which is strategically located in the major gap of the city, the T.O.D. Site which is also responsible for the connection between city and the region as major transportation hub. The MUC will link the disconnected parts of the city filling the gap caused by the Metro-

    North and I-95. This project plans to amplify the performance of existing amenities like the train station and parking garage by tactically refurbishing and infilling them with new programs.

    Holistically integrated with the new functions of New Rochelle Medical Education Center and the regional universities research offices this new

    anchor will trigger development.By doing this the project aims to regenerate many economic and social elements in the city. This approach will further create strategies that can guide future development and contribute to a healthy urbanness.

    This project aims to create an

    anchor point for all biotech

    related companies and

    educational and medical

    institutions in the region.

    New Rochelle holds the capacity to become a city with a vibrant downtown area, but lacks the trigger for this development. Due to its strategic position in the region, proximity to transportation and availability of land, this project proposes a Biotech Research Park to the city

    The project also proposes a new Health Loop as a way to link and amplify the new developments relationship with the city. This shuttle system runs north-south, along North Avenue and New Rockwell Boulevard, to connect all the new, and existing health care related businesses,

    which make up some of the largest employers in New Rochelle. In this way, the Health Loop establishes a network between the old and new major players in the city. Phase three sees the continued expansion of the biotech campus, as well as further activation and organic

    growth of the city with incubator spaces, treatment facilities, and training programs that adjust the city to the new growing industry. This will create a city wide social upgrade and an overall healthy society.

    The second phase is the introduction of the first half of the research

    campus, located in the available site, the Burling Triangle. When merging the biotech campus programs and city programs, mutual synergies can occur. New and introduced programs could grow organically into the urban

    fabric and revitalize the downtown area. A framework of parasitic occupation introduces these programs through three distinct typologies of insertion: existing under utilized building surfaces, empty lots, and abandoned structures.

    THE NEXT GENERATION LIVE/WORK CITYALTERNATIVE FUTURES FOR NEW ROCHELLE

  • Hunts Point Landing

    Located along the intersection of the Bronx and East Rivers, this 1.5 acre park is a former brownfield site. The park offers panoramic views and a variety of water-based activities.

    Soundview Park

    This 205-acre park is located at the mouth of the Bronx River, constructed on top of a former landfill. Forty acres of the site were once open water, while 80 acres were part of a salt marsh.

    Concrete Plant Park

    Site of a concrete plant from the late 1940s through 1987. The renovated waterfront contains a canoe/kayak launch.

    ACTIVATING GREEN NETWORKS ALONG THE BRONX RIVER

    The work documented in this publication was produced by students

    in Columbia Universitys School for Continuing Education Summer

    High School Program Sustainable Urbanization: New Designs for

    the Future City. The work was informed by an interdisciplinary

    project funded by the National Science Foundation Coastal SEES

    program*, and led by The Earth Institutes Urban Design Lab, to

    develop and test a new framework for the next generation of high-

    performance green infrastructure (GI) to mitigate the impacts of

    urban coastal zone pollution. The project is using the Bronx River

    Sewershed as a living test-bed.

    The Summer High School students were charged with exploring

    the potential role of GI in urban sustainability, broadly defined, as

    well as intersections between green networks and communities

    that are vital to the health of both. Working on three sites in the

    Bronx, the students were then asked to propose design strategies

    using a shipping container as a base form to activate their ideas

    for new green networks along the river. The students worked in

    teams and their final products were informed by lectures, site visits,

    digital modeling instruction, directed research exercises and their

    own creativity and talents.

    We consider this work to be important to better understanding

    the community aspects of maintaining urban ecological resilience.

    Indeed, the success of high-performance green infrastructure will

    be heavily indebted to social infrastructure; and what better way to

    explore this question than through the eyes of high-school students,

    who will be the stewards of our urban future.

    The first site visit included tours of all three parks, hosted by Chief Educator

    Damian Griffin and Elizabeth (Alex) Severino of the Bronx River Alliance.

    Students worked in groups exploring their assigned sites for the first time.

    Each student was tasked with identifying major issues within each park as

    they recorded observations through photography, video, audio, material,

    interviews with park users and sketches of the surrounding environment.

    This was the first opportunity for students to observe activity within the

    park during the day and also see how the park was able to interact with the

    surrounding neighborhood.

    The second site visit provided students an up-close look at the engineering

    and design of green infrastructure powered through community workshops.

    The class visited Rocking The Boat headquarters and met Founder and

    Executive Director, Adam Green. Students explored green roofs, rain-

    water gardens and collection cisterns with Nina Sander, Director of Public

    Programs and Community Partnerships.
