As I have been surfing around on the internet for some of my thesis research and ideas I came across an interesting part of the City of Columbus website. I dug up some old to recent neighborhood redevelopment proposals in areas surrounding my site area. These proposals are as current as 2007 and as old as 1996 (at least the ones I was interested in). Each proposal had loads of research pertaining to people studies, traffic, building types, zoning, etc. Some of the more recent proposals seemed to touch more on green design and strategies that can be incorporated into projects. I also came across references for Green Columbus and other interesting sites that I can incorporate into my plans at some point. At this moment my mind is flooded with different directions to take and ways to tie ideas into what is already proposed in the surrounds. The options are endless and the sources seem to be also! I learned a lot about where Columbus is trying to get to by the time of the bicentennial in 2012.
Recent Thoughts:
Greenspace
Transition and/or Connection
Current zoning in place in location
Similarities to neighboring area proposals that can benefit my site
Green Design (multiple forms of public transportation)
What would be a way to tie all this together? Can something I come up with be suitable enough for the "bigger picture?" How/When/Can this benefit the surroundings?
