The 5 zones my thesis encompasses. Each area will be treated separately and then brought together at the end as the overall idea and solution to the thesis problem.

Street Sketches to address building corridor and transitions from indoors out

Key Design Guidelines:

• Surface parking should be located to the rear or side of street-oriented buildings, with preference for the rear of buildings.

• Buildings should incorporate contextual architectural design that considers the surrounding building, design and material patterns, such as reflecting local conditions and history.

• Front elevations should be divided into increments to mimic traditional storefronts, consist of 50% or more glass windows at the street level and utilize a variety of treatments and human scale details.

• Provide project recreational and/or urban plazas that link visually and/or physically to the pedestrian network or network of public spaces.

• The positive aspects of nearby existing buildings should be acknowledged by incorporating compatible features in new developments.

• Mixed use development should include a public park or plaza fronted by a mix of residential, commercial, and other buildings.

• Significant view corridors should be maintained when considering building placement.

• Landscaping should be used to provide unique identities within neighborhoods.
