Urban Market and Farm for Nashville
Virginia Irene Harr
ABSTRACT
This thesis is an investigation of the role of architecture in
reclaiming deteriorating urban constructs, consequently
restoring the placedness of a given community - in this
case, East Nashville. Through careful consideration of
the built environment, architecture as well as landscape
architecture can transform our existence on the land and
sustain a harmonious economy through the cultivation of
food grown within the neighborhood. How we structure
ourselves on the landscape via architecture speaks to our
perception of the material world given to us.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This completed research has been the result of the support
of many:
Beginning with the inspiration from talented and informed
individuals of the Nashville Civic Design Center during my
internship in the Summer of 2011,
And throughout the thesis year, my fellow classmates
and graduate faculty for their unrelenting support and
constructive criticism,
And mostly, for the restorative encouragement from family
and loved ones, who have provided a positive, encouraging
environment that allowed me to explore my talents and
interests wholly and freely.
