The ordinary building is the type of edifi ce cities are

mostly made up of. In Barcelona, as in most large European

cities, these kinds of buildings typically contain a vertical

programmatic distribution of housing above ground-level

commercial spaces (sometimes there is offi ce space in-

between the commercial space and the housing), and parking

in the basement and is usually designed in the regional

vernacular style of the period.

The project thus sought to design a contemporary

edifi ce in a historic setting. The proposal does so by rotating

to give residents a dynamic way to live, exposed to light,

views, and greenery at every eff ective opportunity.

Another benefi t the unique rotation yields is an

innovative method of determining units for a mixed-income

building population.

My thesis project, entitled Fostering Heterogeneity, yy

started by focusing on how income inequality is a global

phenomenon that sees people of diff erent incomes living

further apart enabled by automobile-driven suburbanization.

By focusing in the United States of America, this wealth

stratifi cation had to be understood in context of an abhorrent

racialized history. Even with interventions in underprivileged

communities such as public housing, wealth inequality

and residential segregation have persisted. 1128 Spring

Gardens refocuses mixed-income housing by hyperlocalizing

unit organization while engaging communal spaces in

emphasizial manner. The hopes is that the project can be

a prototype in de-emphasizing the nature of homogeneity

present in low-density living and spur further remediation of

socioeconomic segregation.

1128 Spring Gardens

Orienting roofs to southern sky maximizes effi ciency of solar panels that helps off set energy costs for (most fi nancially stressed) residents

Integrating rainwater collection systems from roofs can serve water usage needs such as for the gardens, pools, and laundry facilities that helps off set utility costs for (most fi nancially stressed) residents

Maximizes unit effi ciency by providing residences with organizational hierarchy without sacrifi cing communal space quality

Increases interaction between assorted communal spaces while maintaining physical separation

Variety of programming distributed throughout project achieves access for all residents to all spaces

Encourages self-segregation of diff erent occupants not by race or class, but by interest-motivated factors = demographic distinguishers demographic distinguishers

Culturally relevantCulturally relevant spaces should be included; i.e. spaces that are desirable to a wide range of people, despite race, class, religion, etc. and contextually applicable (Research indicates that sports fanaticism has these characteristics with Philadelphias strong sports culture, thus having a sports bar is suitable) = demographic integratordemographic integrator

Instead of stratifying wealth vertically, integrating unit wealths horizontally (per fl oor) alleviates socioeconomic segregation typical in other schemes

Establishes an organizational scheme that is responsive to mixed-income projects economic realities

Units targeted towards high-income families; households earning between above 150% of AMI


Instead of double loaded corridors, having circulation corridors that open to large (outdoor) space allows

further penetration of light and ventilation Having the circulation core as a datum where user

paths can be incidentally determined by occupants creates opportunities for passive interaction

Units and residents are visually connected across multiple levels

IBy having structure independent of supporting walls with a grid of reinforced structural columns, diff erent

sized units can be accommodated in the same structural bay

Off setting exteriors of units from faade creates ample outdoor space for each unit

Allows further penetration of natural light and ventilation into units

Extends health and economic benefi ts of all outdoor space to all occupants

Unit-level control of respective light, ventilation, and visibility preferences

Dynamism of faade obscures unit sizes (and thus wealth of occupants there-within)

Communal Spaces have interiorly situated louvers to retain direct user control

Units alloted for low-income families using a tax subsidy; households earning no more than 50% of

AMI(Area Median Income)

Units alloted for essential workers where it is diffi cult to secure housing in reasonable proximity to work;

earning between 50% and 80% of AMI

Units rented or owned by people who pay market rent. No subsidy is alloted; households usually earning

between 80% and 150% of AMI

As a Tulane City Center Public Interest Design Fellow, I had

the privilege of being assigned to faade reNEW. faade

reNEW is a project that incentivizes business and property

owners to revitalize their storefront faades in four targeted

corridors in the city via a reimbursable grant program.

Tulane City Center worked with NORA (the New

Orleans Redevelopment Authority) led by Melissa Lee

and CLIO Associates, vis--vis founder Beth Jacobs, as we

provided design assistance to the business owners in order to

strengthen their applications.

By researching historical documentation,

examining existing urban context, and meeting with the

owners, we were able to present designs that restored the

integrity of buildings (of varying conditions), provided much

needed face-lifts (via project proposals), and

met the desires of the owners.

Joseph A. Coln | Professor Grover Mouton | Urban Studies Elective: Design Urbanism | Spring 2015

In this interpretative design seminar in partnership

with TRUDC (Tulane Regional Urban Design Center), we

designed an urban plan for the Chinese city of Jintang.

Though Jintang is a small town located an hour

Northwest of Chengdu, projections indicate it will see rapid

growth and is in need of a comprehensive urban design

strategy. Orienting the plan to three universities, the old city,

and the coalescing rivers was fundamental to design success.

Thus, my proposal seeks to distribute amenities

and zones in a diverse eff ective way such as having the urban

wetlands oriented on the north and south ends of the design

to remediate water pollution and provide public green space,

while the zones seek to provide eff ective density for optimal

mass transit usage. Recreational and educational amenities

are situated in correspondence with city services to yield an

optimal quality of life for all Jintang residents.

Jintang Urban Plan
