Through discussions with the class and Professor Krause, I have come to the conclusion that Solvay Coke and Gas is the best site for my project, which has been reduced to the Industrial Design School and Workshop and the School of Freshwater Sciences.
Solvay offers the most interesting site with its numerous connections to local infrastructure and it’s tendency to remain industrial. Reed Street Yards and the Washington Interlocking, due to their proximity with the Third Ward, Downtown, the National Avenue business corridor and the Harley-Davidson Museum are better suited for a commercial and residential project. Additionally, several students have recently done investigations on the Reed Street Yards, so I would like to try a newer site.
Below is the Site Analysis Presentation I gave to my class this week we ran out of time and I was feeling confident about my analysis, so it has been tabled and I will present it with more stuff later. Below are the thumbnails from the slides, or if you prefer you can view the PDF version »
