Revitalization of a Historic Jazz District
Designed to integrate mixed use housing and commercial development with an amphitheatre area to revitalize a blighted district with inspiration of its
own musical history.
Thus the repetition and solo segments that compose a Jazz melody become the formal drive for this parametrically controlled entertainment center acting as a starting point for revitalization for its degrading neighbourhood context.

A
This project focuses on the generation of a patch condition within the urban landscape to increase density and diversity in the Kansas City area.
Within a site chosen the proposal generated a parametric urban patch condition dealing with the dividing line of residential to commercial building use within a blighted area of the city. Much emphasis was given here to initiate a new connections to and through the site with a focus on the pedestrian experience as we operate on the fringe of a post fossil fuel economy.

Surroundings / Nicholas Pajerski - Matthew Conway / Academic - Spring 2010 Program + Space Allocation PlanningTo design and organize an infrastructure that addresses a marginal site left over after the construction of two elevated
highways.
To facilitate the programmatic intention of a tailgating park as well as the creation of a space to give home to existing
activities within the context. Surroundings acts as the rejuvenation of a marginal site being constructed of both its
physical / programmatic context as well as dealing with water runoff from highways and near by within its center.
Surroundings allows multiple programs to occur simultaneously.

Utilizing data conceived from comparing Kansas City to successful dense urban locations across the world, then analysing the data adjacent to similar climate situations resulting in a plan for a successful growth with into the KC area.
The formal delivery is merely a representation based on the design for mass transit connection and a vibrant community growth layout. The design is for spaces and connections rather than rigid massing.

GREEN SPACE
A large void in the middle of the residential space allows for an agricultural section.
Based on the speculative population, the agricultural area provides enough produce to sustain the residents within the community.
144 sqft per resident is allocated in the central growing space.

The infographic utilizes demographics, population densities, programmatic requirements, and ecological information to determine the optimal spatial unit solution for a sustainable community. It resulted in a set number of housing units of differing with varied living situations
Based on the speculative population, the agricultural area provides enough produce to sustain the residents within the community. Each residential unit is within walking distance of the main axis path allowing the residents easy access to the entire Kansas City metro through public transportation.

Agoge is an Artist in Residence (AIR) grafted with the function of an organic hop farm. Beginning as a parametrically driven master plan of major public SURJUDPDQGUHVLGHQWLDOXQLWVHQGLQJLQDVSHFLHGUHVLGHQWLDOPDQLIHVWDWLRQ
Agoge is the term used to describe the length of time in which a spartan boy is sent into the wild to equate manhood and bravery with his name. Agoge represents a length of time in which one is removed from their norm and placed into seclusion, surrounded by nature allowing for isolation to alter ones state. This driving factor stems to our research into AIR programs such as the Chinati Foundation in Marfa, Texas.

The conceptual driver of the residential development was to completely integrate the artist within the site. As the seasons pass the growth on the dwelling either thickens or dies away depending on the time of year. Allowing for the visual thickening and thinning of greenery to impact the users experience inward and out.
