Group #5

NOTES:

• use park and build up and out from there

• north of park :
     multi-use area
     could be farmer’s market for all year
     opens up on bottom floor so it flows out into park
     building would step back – 2 storeys in front – 4 storeys
     how much historic value does Washburne building truly have?

• Across Charnelton:
     Offices, voter registration
     Stepping up and back from park

• St Mary’s Church:
     Lease parking – make more utilized
     If church no longer functions, could be redeveloped for civic events

• 11th and Lincoln –
     Affordable housing – redevelop the old “cottage style” housing

• Kiva location:
     Convert to complex that is larger, where all existing tenants co-use parking and it is more efficient
     Kiva could expand to 2nd story
     Re-evaluate area

• Atrium block:
     Fill in 2nd pit – infill to match existing building
     Fill in behind atrium, 3 storeys – keep in scale with adjacent historical building
     Green roofs

• 4 corners:
     Try to tie the section together by paving, planting types, etc.
     People can flow in all directions

• Park area:
     Maintain pit as a cistern

• Don’t just fill the hole

• Stormwater management, taking water from adjacent areas

• Wetland? Reflect what the southern Willamette valley is
     Public restrooms – safe, accessible, convenient
     Shade from trees, awnings
     Seating
     Lighting for safety, wayfinding
     Plenty of meeting space – congregate

• Green Alleys:
     Connectors to different parts of downtown
     Green trellises, planters, etc.

• solar section:
     stepping back to create “bowl form”
     visual security for park
     driving force behind stepping effect: solar access & open space

Additional principles:
1) solar access
2) nature/wildlife aspect
3) 3 B’s: books, bars,
     Creating nodes within the district
     24-hour environments
