In the heart of downtown Port-au-Prince, Route Capois faced slightly less damage than neighboring streets that were totally destroyed and deemed unsafe by the government. Yet it still suffered significant levels of destruction, faces a large number of displaced persons living in the many surrounding spontaneous settlements, and is receiving less reconstruction assistance than neighboring areas.

ACTIVE SPACES

Architecture for Humanity is seeking to partner with cities to transform under-utilized spaces into active places within the US.

We are focusing on five areas that support physical activity;

1. Open Spaces / Parks

2. Urban Design / Land Use

3. Transportation

4. Schools

5. Buildings / Workplaces

Working with over 70 partners under the Designed To Move collective we hope to bring momentum to a nationwide movement to create healthier, active spaces in our cities and towns.�As the lead organization in the built environment, Architecture for Humanity is seeking to identify three to five cities to pilot programs to build innovative spaces that tackle obesity and empower healthier citizens.

RETHINKING THE URBAN LANDSCAPE- Case Studies

Local Case Studies - Active SpacesFor the past seven years we have built over two dozen sports and physical educational spaces within the urban fabric. This has included taking over empty spaces under bridges to working with city officials to close streets to cars and turn them into permanent places of play. This has ranged from $400K revitalization projects to $2000 interventions

Bradner Gardens Park Improvements, Seattle, 1999–2000

Bradner Gardens Park holds particularsignificance in the history of communityaction in Seattle. Long neglected by thecity and its parks department, the parkwas rescued in the early 1990s by adedicated group of local residents, whoreconfigured it as a public communitygarden. In the late 1990s, as real estatevalues improved, the city attempted toreplace the park with a market-ratehousing development, and the ensuingcontroversy galvanized the local com-munity to establish the park as openspace in perpetuity.

The Design/Build Studio participated in this process by offering its labor as an in-kind contribution to enable the community to obtain a matchinggrant from the city’s Department ofNeighborhoods for park improvements.Among the projects completed over two years were a wood and concretefootbridge, three decorative steelperimeter gates, and a pavilion canopyfor the central meeting area.

Canal Basin Charette, Cleveland, 2000

This weekend-long charette generatedinnovative design ideas for the reclama-tion of Canal Basin, once the entranceto the most important inland waterwayin the United States. Participantsincluded landscape design expertsStanley Allen, Ignacio Bunster-Ossa,Peter Latz, and Aunradha Mathur. Thedesigners concentrated on developingprocess and identifying strategies forthe gradual transformation of the siteinto a public amenity. Their ideas werewidely publicized and generated newlocal awareness of the potential of theCuyahoga Valley as a historic and recre-ational corridor.

URBAN ACUPUNCTURE - A Holistic Approach to Stitching Together A Community Through Active Spaces

To empower alternative teaching methods we need to embed education in entrepreneurial environments. Use downtown as an incubator and interweave the classrooms within start-ups and businesses

Social issues are overlapped and complex. By integrating social services within the urban fabric we can tackle inner-city needs within the community instead of shunning them to the outskirts.

Historic way-finding and signage. Rather than treating Las Vegas as a place of destination we can use alternative way-finding to transform it into a place of discovery.
