Urban Design
Jeffrey Place: This project asked to choose an
area that offered opportunity for design inter-
vention. I was then to research the problems im-
pacting the area and identify the unique charac-
teristics of the area and the opportunities and
constraints for planning and design intervention.

Phase II was the creation of a design solution.
• Continuation of current condo apartments that face 4th street.
With the addition of 45 new condos
• Seven foot sidewalks to handle high volumes of pedestrian
traffic
• The addition of 37 New retail shops
• Courtyards within each block to provide residents with green
space
• The addition of 6 corner lots with design guidelines as bar/
restaurants that have outdoor patios opening into courtyards
• Office space in the upper two stories above retail shops
• Uniform building code
Erie County Profile: This report asked to pre-
pare a demographic and socioeconom-
ic profile of a county. This included a
population analysis, demographic Analysis, Socio-
economic Comparison, and a Population Projection.

Analyzing The City
Erie County Profile
Analysis
Demographic Analysis: Erie County demographics reflect the
states pretty closely. The only difference is it has a slightly higher
difference in the amount of white residence and you see the re-
flected in the amount of different race’s as they are slightly lower.
Socioeconomic Comparison: Overall the county residents make
more money the state as a whole. This reflects in the amount of
poverty as well. An interesting observation is that the county’s
resident’s amount of education is lower than that of the states.

Population Analysis: The county saw an increase in population
change from 1970-1980. Because of a smaller percentage in in-
crease in the state these new residents either came from births
within the state or people moving with in the state (and not new
residents from out of state). From 1980 -1990 they saw a migration
outward but not out of state. From 1990-2000 they saw an increase
in resident that were probably from out of state. From 2000-2010 the
count saw a migration out that many could have moved out of state.

Food Planning Audit
Alex Gilbert
Food Planning Audit: In this project my partner
(Alyssa Taylor) and I (Alex Gilbert) received a food
budget of hypothetical $18/day for a family of four,
which is the average food budget received by SNAP
beneficiaries in Ohio (for a family of four). Starting at
193 Dakota Ave, Columbus, Ohio and traveled to The
Broad and Princeton Market. We were to walk the
route as if we were this hypothetical family shopping
for groceries and report our experiences. Once there
we developed a balanced meal plan for one day for
four people (2 adults, one teenager and one tod-
dler). The report includes our experience with safety,
transportation, and food availability during the audit.

Weinland Park: This report asked to choose a local
neighborhood (of Columbus, OH) that has or is cur-
rently experienced a problem with gentrification.
We were then asked to analyze why it happened
if anything was done to help prevent gentrification.

5XNW: This studio was created in partnership with
the Fifth By Northwest Area Commission. The class
analyzed the community in Phase I through differ-
ent key aspects. Goals were developed from this
research. These goals were then present to the
commission and then a poll was taken on impor-
tance of each goal. Phase II took these goals and
found ways to implement solutions to the problems.

Fifth by Northwest, (Sellsville) was once home of one of the most outstandingshows of all time. The Sells Brothers circus has been regarded as the country’s first successful circus and one of the longest running circuses of all time, touring for 35 consecutive years. The show first opened on April 19, 1872 with 19 baggage wagons, 13 cages, a tab wagon, 130 horses and a camel. The Sells brothers had a vision for expansion so the whole country could see the animals and entertainment they had to offer. With enormous success in the early stages of work the Sells brothers purchased a large part of the Montgomery Queen Railroad in 1878 to fulfill there expansion dreams. They quickly became known for having seven elephants calling the show, “Sells Bros, Great European Seven Elephant Show.” Elephants and trains seem to be the essence of what made the Columbus area brother’s circus the best in the country. Columbus was used as a rail hub for the circus and the Sells brothers use of trains, to move the circus, was revolu-tionary when most circuses were moved with wagons. The Sells brothers’ circus became much more successful because of the fact the train was so conveniently located and much more logical way of transportation.

Sellsville
During the winter time the animals would stay locally in Columbus and prepare fornext years show. Baby animals born in the winter were kept in the basement of one of the Sells Brothers’ homes at the corner of Buttles and Dennison Avenue near Goodale Park. Winter quarters for the circus were located in Sellsville, an unincorporated area of about 1000 acres on the west bank of the Olentangy River, just north of Fifth Avenue. Stray elephants and bands of roaming monkeys were amusing and not uncommon occurrences in Sellsville. In 1905, the circus was sold to James Bailey of Barnum and Bailey, who eventually sold shares to the Ringling Brothers. The act continued to tour under the Sells Brothers name until 1911, as part of the conglomerate Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey’s Greatest Show onEarth.

Summary of the Fifth by Northwest history, focused on three topics: Sellsville, Circus, and Boulevard Theatre
The area had a few cinemas back in the mid - 1900’s when the movie industry was taking off as an entertainment function for families and couples. The Boulevard Theatre opened in 1941 with stunning lights, terra cotta tiles, and a vertical sign. It was later renamed College Cinema in 1967 and shut its doors in 1977. The site is currently a taco bell location.

goal
1. Incorporate history into future neighborhood Initiatives.
1. Create a clearer sense of visual identity2. promote a sustainable community3. encourage an improvement of the overall asthetics
WIthin the area the Majority of the land use is residential. As well there is a contained commericial strip along fifth avenue and olentangy. The southeast area is prodominantly industrial use.
The area is accessible through the form of public transportation
With traffic flow the area seems to be the most busy along fifth avenue and third avenue
Multi-family housing makes up the majority
Buildings in the area were mostly built during mid-1900's
There is a high demand for more bike routes making the area potentially even more accessible
Majority of housing is valued at $125,000-350,000
Phase I was an analysis of the area in differed categories which were used to form goals for improvement.
These goals were then focused on in Phase II. For
each goal there were design options provided with
specific solutions. The main goals are listed to the left
in order of importance.

Within the framework of the merged concept, the eight goals were used to create specific design options. Objectives supporting each goal were idendified and for each objective design options supporting it were addi-tionally identified. A flow chart demonstrating the process can be seen on the right. For example, creating a sense of visual the identity of the neighborhood was designated a a priority goal by the area commission. For this goal, three objectives were identified that would help achieve the goal of iden-tity improvement. Objective 1 recommended creating gateways at major entrances. Specific design options to support Objective 1 include overhead signage and/or ground-level signage along the street. Objective 2 sug-gested additional trees and greenery within the neighborhood. Although specific design options will be sim-ilar, variations include trees along residential sidewalks, major business facades and in park areas. The third objective supporting a stronger sense of visual identity, was the addition of park space throughout the area. Dif-ferent design options suggested include small gathering areas along the sidewalk and varying sizes of parklets.

MORPC: For this studio the class developed a sus-
tainability model for Central Ohio that developed
metrics, created an inventory, and assessed the
sustainability of the region as a whole. My part
in the team was as one of two project managers.

Scenario 1 was a measure of Central Ohio’s current
sustainability. Four categories were chosen from the
STAR metric’s community rating system to focus
on. These include metrics in Energy and Resource,
Economic Competitiveness, Sustainable Neighbor-
hoods, and Health and Safety. Findings were pre-
sented to all stakeholders held in a public meeting.

This is a linear projection of the % of the population for each subdivision thathas an Associates Degree in 2035. WorkforceDevelopement is measured by Associate Degrees because Associate Degrees aretailored specfically towards a career or profession, The projections were made using the slope formulafor each subdivisions data set. The x value for the formula was 35 as the earliest data setwas from 2000 and there were three otheryears used in the projection 2009,10,11.

Scenario 2 focused on showing projections
for 2035 within the same metrics. During the
stakeholder meeting, a survey was taken by the
stakeholders to shape where they wanted to see
projections. The findings for scenario 2 were pre-
sented to the stakeholders at a final meeting.
