BOTANIC STRATEGYVolcano Chimborazo botanical CourtAlexander von Humboldt

created vegetation canopy

The botanical garden, which combines shrubs and Andean plants create a canopy that provides high shade, creating an extra lung for the area

STREET FURNITUREBenches, chairs and other objects are distributed throughout the square, they provide various functions within the space. These are manufactured in concrete and metal.

LAWN AND GARDEN WETThe wet lawn and gardens at the bottom of the square, serve as recreational areas, and are also part of a storm water management.

PERIMETERSThe external facades at the square are lined with made panels, besides giving a textured exterior they have built-in LED lights that illuminate the four streets around the square

COLUMNSThe mushrom-shaped columns create a great front to La Almeda and provide a large area of shade on the ground floor. Made of steel and concrete; within each column is planter for trees above; creating a new monumentality at the square.

PLAZA REPUBLICA

New Cultural Space

The renewed Plaza Republica square proposes a new cultural landscape that transforms a surface in a large public space creating a cultural central-ity that has the potential to reassess the urban fragments around la Alameda. The project trans-forms the old square in three interconnected spaces with a gallery for young Ecuadorian art-ists, a high platform opened to the public with controlled access, providing views of the park and the city. New square contains furnishings for urban recreation and a small botanical garden that is vegetated with plants and trees from the valley of Quito. These three elements serve as anchors for the development of recreational and cultural functions in the square and its adjacent public spaces.

Urban Strategy

How you build a quality public space attached to one of the most important parks of the city?

Perhaps the answer is to propose a large fine-grained space, with adjacent complementary to park, so that the combination of: A + B generates new centrality

a collective space that serves as anchor for other institutions and cultural activities in the area

The Green Park In Metropolitan Context

Our project is, first, a park that is connectivity system simultaneously urban collector. Processor and water, ecology and catalyst dynamics urban, responsive to the poetics of place, time it origi-nates historical, culture it engenders. by another, we insist on recording the particulars of place, apalimpsest of different historical conditions, ma-terials, ecological and societal floodplain, reed, airport, vegetation, and its location in the center of the valley. Our project provides a necessary dialogue and at the same counterpoints system time with the Park East key reference in any work of architecture landscape:

The Connected CityChallenge

HYPERDENSITYHYPERLANDSCAPECity of Dallas

Hyper Density Hyper Landscape is a strategy and vision for Dallass future, one that reunites the city with its river and sets the stage for transformation starting now. HDHL intensifies the existing quali-ties of Dallass urban and natural landscapes and, in so doing, will help to realize the full potential of the regions development opportunities and economic prosperity. HDHL is about dense city districts full of energy and exuberance, and in-tense landscapes that play many rolessocial, economic, and environmental. It builds off Dal-las entrepreneurship, natural resources, business acumen, and diverse urban lifestyles. HDHL is uniquely Dallas, re-imagined.

At the core of this approach are three new, dy-namic, mixed-used neighborhoods interspersed within regions of variegated, programmed, and sustainable landscape. The expansion of the city grid and the city green has mutually beneficial properties that make Dallas more livable, but also more vibrant, accessible and competitive. At the center of this landscape is the old Trinity River, brought back to life as an innovative series of active public spaces, wetlands and gardens that double as water filters and flood basins. These new spaces will be inter-connected with a new light-rail system along Riverfront Boulevard and a pedestrian promenade suspended along the proposed toll-road, making the Trinity floodplain the most exciting public space in Texas.

This project intensifies the growing energy and vibrancy in the heart of Dallas, where people can live, work, and play, and thrives off the spontane-ous and unexpected interactions among one an-other. It brings the experience of nature directly to their doorsteps, allowing for urban and land-scape experiences not possible anywhere else, and filling in spaces (like transportation rights-of-way) that urban development cannot.

Hyper Density. Hyper Landscape. Hyper Con-nected. Dallas made new.

Interconnectivity

While this proposal is anchored by distinct new urban spaces, its also undergirded by a strong sense of how these new spaces are intercon-nected: with each other, with the rest of Dallas, and with the greater region. For example, The Viaduct site is anchored by a new high-speed rail station on a new public square in downtown Dallas, adjacent to the convention center and the Central Business District (CBD). The HSR will con-nect Houston and Dallas residents by a mere hour train ride, connecting the two most powerful economies in Texas. Likewise, the highways that fill the Trinity site will remain an important con-duit; these new neighborhoods work in tandem with existing and future road projects by locating density in strategic locations, and interspersing water and planting around the networks of road-ways while maintaining their existing capacity.

At the same time, HDHL embraces multiple-mod-al transportation connection to spread the ve-hicular impact across many paths and modes of travel, reducing the number of trips and thereby protecting the natural environment. New streets, sidewalks, bike routes, and streetcars will con-nect the new neighborhoods with each other and with downtown. Along Riverfront, newly designed as a complete street, the ride from the Design District to New Riverfront South will be a rich tapestry of urban environments, natural zones, and gathering spaces.

Most excitingly, this proposal makes a bold sug-gestion to use the future toll-roads foundation to support a Promenade along the entire length of the Trinity River Basin, characterized by an undu-lating wooden deck with multiple levels and sizes of spaces. The pathway will allow for recreational uses of all kinds. Anchoring the promenade is a necklace of lightweight lanterns, which orga-nize vertical circulation and glow vibrantly at night, bringing Dallass attention to the contours of the Trinity River. By leveraging large public investments, the city can realize public benefits that will create economic and social benefits for decades to come.

Finally, the three new neighborhoods will be linked to central Dallas by a set of lightweight policy solutions. DeCCo will form the terminus of an art walk that starts in the Dallas Arts District, moves down Commerce, and concludes in the Design District. By locating large public art instal-lations and attractive pathways to the west, the DeCCo neighborhood will feel connected to the rest of downtown Dallas. Likewise, at the end of the Viaduct is a new amphitheater space, sur-rounded by a large, sustainable water feature. The destination will help connect Dallas with the Trinity River via The Viaduct neighborhood.

The Old River

The heart of these new neighborhoods and landscapes is a revived and revitalized Old Riv-er, transformed from lonely flood basins into a beautiful chain of parks and water gardens that re-connect people with the river that originally brought folks to Dallas. This project creates a water-management strategy focused around the Trinity River and flood protection. It re-works the water systems that move through the current sumps, holding more water in place; creating new urban amenities; improving its quality; and reducing overall volumes that enter the levee at flood stage. Storm-water runoff will serve as irri-gation to the new urban forests. Water gardens with lush islands and floating cafes; water amphi-theaters; water playgrounds; wet forests; a swim-ming beach; floodable sport courts; and new wetland habitats all create new life from Dallass ancestral source.

Inspiration Port CreditMississauga ON, Canada

Inspiration Port Credit (IPC) marks an important moment in time for Port Credit and the city of Mississauga. As the primary waterfront commu-nity in Mississauga, Port Credit is full of opportu-nity. It possesses incredible natural beauty, is part of the growing economic engine of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), and benefits from years of good planning in the City of Mississauga. Few places can boast this incredible set of assets. In addition, two fantastic waterfront properties that have been long left underutilized are opening up for potential future development. With these changes coming, Port Credit is well positioned tocapitalize on its natural beauty and to own its identity as one of the most attractive public places at the waters edge in the city and perhaps all of the Greater Toronto Area. Inspiration Port Credit recognizes the importance of this incred-ible moment and the need to think now about the future of these sites as opportunities for Port Credit and Mississaugas waterfront.

Change is happening in Port CreditAs part of the Greater Toronto Area, the growing engine of Canadas economy, both Port Credit and the City of Mississauga (City) are experienc-ing positive economic growth and significant de-velopment pressures. This growth has inspired a great deal of planning and policy work in the City in order to help guide this change and make it a positive process for the City for years to come. Aspart of this trend, a number of initiatives and studies that will have tremendous impact on the future of Port Credit have already begun or are about to begin, including the Hurontario-Main Light Rail Transit (LRT) study, an environmental site assessment on the Imperial Oil Limited (IOL) lands, and an owner-led master planning process on the Canada Lands Companys (CLC) Port CreditHarbour Marina (PCHM) site. These exciting events and future changes are already bringing new ideas and new opportunities to the city and to Port Credit in particular. Inspiration Port Credit was undertaken to coordinate these efforts, to put a broader frame on the future aspirations for this area, and to help shape Port Credit as a mod-el sustainable waterfront community that takes advantage of its inherent natural assets: Lake Ontario, the Credit River, and the landscapes that provide access to them. Inspiration Port Credit focuses on two unique waterfront properties, theIOL lands and the CLC site, but extends its plan-ning goals to the greater Port Credit area.

Contamination Opportunities

Information compiled by Dillon Consulting for Port Credit Team- Historical site uses suggest that areas of Imperial Oil Limited (IOL)/Canada Lands Company (CLC) lands have different contamination issues (types and concentrations).- The type of contaminants (hydrocarbons) on IOL lands tend to diminish in concentration over time.- IOL has initiated a process to test all areas of the site to norm and delineate contamination levels in accordance with the Ontario Ministry of Envi-ronment process.- May be opportunity to use targeted remedia-tion rather than full removal of contaminants across the whole site (if a risk based clean-up is considered).

Issues to Consider- Key cost factor will be the amount of soil that needs to be removed/treated.- Soil removal depends on the depth to bedrock and decisions on whether to use targeted reme-diation or removal/treatment of all contaminated material. The soil volume to remove could total 830,000 m3 or about 415,000 tones (if the entire 30Ha site to bedrock at about 3m is cleaned up the clean-up cost could exceed $42 million dol-lars!)

Risk Based Clean-up- Development of site-specic clean-up targets using information at the site to develop reme-diation goals that are more applicable to the contaminant types, locations and development goals rather than Ministry of Environment (MOE) generic standards that are intended to be appli-cable to 95% of properties in Ontario- A risk assessment is completed to calculate the required safe levels of contamination that may remain, and be managed, on site.

Clean-up Options- Generic clean-up standard: Ontario MOE site conditions standards suitable for residential or parkland use, depending on the development plan and proximity of contamination to surface water, less conservative standards may be appli-cable.- In-situ remediation: a remediation technique that is used on-site to limit off-site removal of soil. Examples include bioremediation (either in the ground or in piles on site), chemical oxidation, and soil vapor extraction.- phalt/concrete or similar man-made material.- Soft cap: protective barrier placed over con-tamination that is constructed from a geotextile membrane (cloth identifying barrier) and clean soil.

Scenario 1 (4-16 storey)Scenario 1 creates a more dense urban form with building heights of low (4- 8), medium (8-10) and high (10-16). This includes the island, marina, transit + mobility improvements. It allows for a greater degree of flexibility with regard to re-cuperation of contamination clean-up costs. On the following pages two summaries of cost are provided. One utilizing treated site fill, the other importing fill from off-site.

This extended analysis is provided in order to help further define the opportunities and the challenges of development on the IOL lands.The scenarios for height and density provided were developed with consideration of the follow-ing simple variables:t3FNFEJBUJPONFUIPETVTFEDPTUTt%JWFSTJUZPGVOJUUZQFTBOEVTFTt &YUFOTJPOPG JOGSBTUSVDUVSF JOWFTUNFOUT VUJMJUZ+ roads)t&YUFOTJPOPGXBUFSGSPOUEFWFMPQNFOU

Option I. Water PlayThis Master Plan Option included linear park sys-tem that including open view towards the Lake. The schema is based on the new hydrological infrastructure that would include storm water management, gray water system as wells as rec-reational water feature uses. The option would include large central park spine along which the proposed commercial uses would be concen-trated. the residential uses would occupy upper floors of the development.

Option 2. Lake Meadows + FieldsThe large waterfront park space of this option would frame the whole waterfront of the site. The large public waterfront park will also include an academic campus as main site destination. The scheme also includes hydrological infra-structure based on the existing topography . The scheme proposes a new island as an alternative to remediation strategies that would cap most of the contaminated soil in its ground.

Option 3. Large Venue ParkThis scheme focuses on utilizing the land for large sports, venue and convention centers. This option is intended to study alternative uses of such large development site and determine its vi-ability from stand point of social, economical and also environmental stand point.

CLC Master Plan:

A marina marketplace at the foot of downtown Port Credit The master plan for CLCs Port CreditHarbour Marina presented by Inspiration Port Credit builds on the One Port Master Plan sub-mitted to the City in April of 2013 and adapts it to reflect the IPC teams recommendations for the future of the CLC site. As with the framework for change for Port Credit, the Master Plan for CLC incorporates built form and block structures that are informed by the landscape, most importantly in this case waterfront quality of the CLC site; its history as an active port and working marina; unique views of the confluence of Lake Ontario and the Credit River; visual access to the cultural heritage of the Ridgetown. Importantly, the mas-ter plan calls for a development that keeps the port in Port Credit, emphasizing the importanceof the marina as cultural heritage and a recre-ational asset. IPC embraces the important oppor-tunity created by the completion of the water-front trail around the existing pier structure and builds on this opportunity to increase waterfront public open space through addition of an ex-tended public promenade and open space built off the existing eastern breakwater. This prom-enade increases the public open space along the waterfront, providing physical and visual access to the lake. It preserves and enhances the unri-valed views out into Lake Ontario, close-rangeviews of the Ridgetown, and views east to the skyline of Toronto.

The addition of this open space helps to support the relatively intimate blocks recommended on the CLC site. The IPC team recommends an over-all block structure on the CLC site that allows for continued views north to south and east to west across the site and that utilizes setbacks and a variation in building heights to maintain visual access to the water and allow light to permeate the site. A gradient of building heights is recom-mended with the highest buildings located along the Port Street corridor and the lowest along the waterfront.

Taller buildings are limited to Port Street and are not to exceed the height of the Waterside Inn. Outside of these taller elements, a ratio of buildings heights including 30% 3-6 storey, 50% 4-6 storey and 20% 6 storey is recommended. These heights should be implemented in keep-ing with the general principles of stepping down to the waterfront and maintaining views. Density is important to the creation of a vibrant water-front community at the CLC site, however, this density should be implemented with respect to existing activities such as marine operations and the preservation of the waterfront as a pub-lic amenity and inspirational resource for all of Port Credit. For this reason a mixed-use develop-ment approach is recommended that allows for commercial-retail and marina-based uses at the ground floor and residential uses in the upper storeys. These proposed land uses aim to provide for a residential population of 2280-2850 and the creation of ~ 300 jobs, increasing the total em-ployment on site from the current number of 100 to 400. Also important to the CLC Master Plan is the reformulation of J.J. Plaus Park that would oc-cur alongside development, and the creation of a street network that is multi-use and scaled for pedestrian activity. Economic and Environmental sustainability are critical components of the mas-ter plan. Programming through the creation of marketplaces, artisanal work spaces, retail spaces and live-work housing options promote eco-nomic vibrancy. In addition, the CLC site should demonstrate leading edge and comprehensive approaches to sustainability that include the im-plementation of mobility networks that support active transportation and a pedestrian scale de-velopment, as well as the implementation of Low Impact Development practices and the creation of an economically diverse community.

Movement On MainLIGHT PLAY! - Wining Designhttp://www.movementonmain.com/

Light-Play! is about shaping healthy bodies, a healthy street, and a healthyand vibrant!community in the Near Westside. It plays with light and colorful and fun materials to create a new identity for Wyoming Street, a new activity center for neighborhood life, and playful new surfaces and structures that inspire movement in people of all ages.

Light-Play! includes activity mounds (small and large), seating elements and rain gardensar-ranged as social rooms along the street that allow for people to sit, jump, skip, run, sled, and play. Given Syracuses gray skies and long winters, light and color are used to animate the mounds and the street. Projected lights are activated by people via motion sensors, and re-flective surfaces (tilted panels, colored paint in street and on light poles, embedded road reflec-tors) catch the headlights of passing cars, en-gaging all of Wyoming Street in a playful game of flickering lights and glowing walls. Slight topographic shifts along the edge of the street and on the west sidewalk also work to direct wa-ter flow towards rain gardens and other green infrastructure elements, to manage and filter storm water and improve environmental health.

To promote a healthy community, the mounds are designed to foster sociability and gather-ing, as well as activity. The mounds encourage sitting and gathering with their horizontal sur-faces and concave geometriesespecially im-portant for more elderly neighbors, for whom social engagement is as important for personal health. The mounds also encourage activity, through their playful use of sloped and stepped forms. The mounds are an extended urban play-groundnot centralized and fenced off, but distributed along the street and into the larger sites. Together, they create a streetscape that is part fitness trail with workout stations, part neighborhood stoop and community gathering place.

Light-Play! activates the streetscape during the day and in the evening. By day, reflective and colored surfaces capture light, and give the streetscape warmth. By night, illuminated and reflective light elements animate the street. Along the roadway, reflective surfaces pick up the movement of automobiles, creating a theater of moving lights and reflections along the street.

Reflective graphic paint and embedded road reflectors amplify this, and create a subtle indicate of activity in the area. In the sidewalk areas, outdoor lighting makes the streetscape attractive and safe. Additional accent lighting is proposed in the mound areas, where motion sensors trigger a flickering of lights projected on the ground.

A playground of light...Choreography of lights will make the streetscape fun and playful, but also active and safe. The accent lighting is low energy, and activity producing, making it a great combination of environmentally sensitive but also socially responsive. These flickering light effects warn drivers of where people are.

Accent lighting is outdoor rated and wired to an infrared motion sensor. This ensures that it is only on when triggered, and adds to the dynamism of the nighttime lighting effects. Locating the light fixtures in the vertical faces of the mounds ensures easy maintanance, and minimizes moisture and other issues that affect in-ground lighting.

Light-Play activates the streetscape during the day and in the evening. By day, reflective and colored surfaces capture light, and give the streetscape a warmth. The playful elements along the street draw people, further animating the streetscape.

Nighttime lighting also animates the street with a combination of illuminated and reflective light elements. In the roadway, reflective surfaces pick up the movement of automobiles, creating a the-ater of moving lights and reflections along the street. Reflective graphic paints amplifies this, and creates a subtle warning for the activity in the area.

In the sidewalk areas, outdoor lighting makes the streetscape attractive and safe. Additional accent lighting is proposed in the mound ar-eas, where motion sensors trigger a flickering of lights projected on the ground. The sensor light-ing is activated by movement on the street, but it will also draw people to it, further activating the street. The choreography of lights will make the streetscape fun and playful, but also active and safe. The accent lighting is low energy, and activity producing, which is a great combination of environmentally sensitive but also socially re-sponsive. The light effects also warn people of approaching cars, while flickering lights warn drivers of where people are.

Light-Play! occupies the large lot at the corner of Marcellus, the medium lot adjacent to Salt Quar-ters, and much of the west sidewalk along Wyo-mingthereby avoiding the utility poles and nu-merous driveways on the east side of the street.

Mounds are calibrated to allow for running, roll-ing, jumping, leaping, climbing, and sledding; they are made of colorful recycled rubber, lawn surfaces, concrete seatwalls, and light-walls. Smaller mounds are clustered and equipped with tables on either side of Fabius Street, for small childrens play, board games and reading (important activities for elder health and inte-gration into the community). Medium-sized mounds allow for a wider range of kid play north of Tully and especially into the Marcellus Street play-lotwhere large mounds double as climb-ing walls and sledding hills. Play equipment is scattered about, with small elements in the small kid play areas and larger elements in the Marcellus Street play-lot. Simple bars and even benches and tables can also be used for exercise and jumping.

Green Infrastructure

The historic urbanization of the Near Westside has replaced native vegetation with buildings, roadways, and parking lots which prevent rain-fall from being intercepted and taken up by vegetation, evaporated into the atmosphere, or infiltrated into the ground. Today, the majority of rainfall landing on these impervious surfaces is captured in catch basins along Wyoming Street and piped away without treatment or mitigation. The stormwater runoff washes away trash, debris, petroleum, metals, excess nutrients and other pollutants. It also combines with sanitary sew-age as part of the Clinton/Lower MIS combined sewer district, overflowing to Onondoga Lake during big storms.

Light-Play! will support the Save the Rain Pro-gram. By using green infrastructure techniques to absorb rainwater, the project will be designed to capture, store, evaporate, and infiltrate the first 1-inch of rainfall instead of allowing it to run off to the storm drain and combined sewer systems. Stormwater will be introduced into restored landscape and soils to promote evaporation and infiltration. This water balance approach helps restore the hydrology to a more natural, pre-developed condition. The existing grey infra-structure will be maintained as an overflow for clean, excess runoff (greater than 1-inch) that will be slowly drained away compared to the current condition. Green infrastructure strategies can also reduce urban heat island effect, provide passive irriga-tion, improve air quality, and create educational opportunities.

Precast Seat Wall Design

The custom precast Donor benches are designed to incorporate a viable surface area for numerous naming layout configurations including name of the plaza, and if deemed necessary, recognition for the donor person, family, and/or family mem-bers. The actual size and layout of the text will be designed in conjunction with Project Projects once the scope of donor text is confirmed. How-ever, the siting of the text and signage was instru-mental in the concept design and considers high visibility while blending in with the large context of the plaza. Through these discussions, an al-lowance for a second donor bench was necessary in order to ensure the maximize opportunity for donor recognition, while providing a sensitive prominence on the site.

Work included Concept, Design and Prototype Construction Documents Development.

Landlocked UrbanismSouth America Study

RESEARCHAbstract

Changes in agriculture, manufacturing, mining, transportation, and technology have had a pro-found effect on the social, economic and cul-tural structure of world cities since the industrial revolution. Those changes forced new patterns of urbanization and new economic frameworks requiring extensive infrastructures allowing for accessibility and resource distribution. The de-mands of new urbanization forces large-scale in-frastructure to expand beyond the boundaries of formalized cities to the global scale.

New patterns of infrastructural development have been superimposed on already established systems of operation and urbanization, deter-mining its expansion and morphological adapta-tion. Economy based development allowed for antagonistic growth of population causing new pressures on urbanized areas. Resource demands cause rapid expansion of transport and service infrastructures that often create social segrega-tion within city fabrics. Furthermore, many parts of established urban and agricultural lands have been erased or damaged. Many footprints of this kind of evolution remain as urban issues that are being addressed by current city planning prac-tice.

A region of the world which demonstrates the conditions arising out of the expansion of infra-structure due to newly uncovered resources and a booming economy is currently South America. Its potential for future development exceeds oth-er parts of the world, but at the same time raises new challenges due to its extreme geographical conditions. The need for adaptation in city mor-phologies is mostly prominent in landlocked cit-ies dealing with extreme geographical conditions such as severe topographies, lack of accessibility, and extensive remoteness. The intent is to trace those specific morphological patterns through travel, interviews and on-site investigation.

The research focuses on ten characteristic land-locked cities that represent specific relationships to mineral extraction, oil extraction and produc-tion, agricultural production and export, and strategic location in proximity to other major ag-glomerations. Due to the cities inherent inacces-sibility, study also focuses on intercity connectiv-ity, transit and intermodal hubs.

Travel itinerary proposes research of specific morpholo-gies within landlocked cities in following phases:

PHASE ONETwo air and one ground transportation travel will inves-tigate three major landlocked agglomerations:Medellin, ColumbiaLas Paz, BoliviaQuito, EcuadorThose Landlocked cities exemplify rapid economic ex-pansion based on strategic localization. Those cities present most complicated morphologies and study will include multiple travels to city extents as well as inves-tigation of large scale infrastructure influence on dete-rioration of historic sites of the city.

PHASE TWOTwo air and two ground transportation travels will in-vestigate most remote group of Landlocked cities:Cerro De Pasco, PeruHuaraz, PeruPotosi, BoliviaThose specific resource extraction-based cities are most challenging to study due to the relationship to surrounding extraction sites to which investigation will extend to, based on available ground transport acces-sibility. Study of infrastructural influence will include localizing historic traces of the city and investigating its shifts in relationship to resource extracting sites.

PHASE THREEThree air and four ground transportation travels will in-vestigate most diverse:Cochabamba, BoliviaCopiap, ChileLoja, EcuadorPasto, ColombiaExamples of agricultural and mineral processing-based economies. The travel will include investigation of agri-urban edge of the city and traces of urban pressures affecting it through large infrastructure, and industrial and residential development. In the case of Loja, study will include city relationships to first hydroelectric infra-structure in Ecuador.

ITINERARY

CURRENT PATTERN OF URBANIZATION

CURRENT RESOURCE EXTRACTION SITES

ANALYZED LANDLOCKEDCITIES

Currently the most affected areas by new pressures of development have been in parts of the world that could allow for more extrac-tion of resources to sustain the economic chase. Unfortunately many of these countries and cities that have available resources have already established systems of opera-tion and will be forced to adopt to global economical and infrastructural networks. Without new models of adaptation of access and control of resources, all resource-based cities and countries continue to expand its infrastructural footprint. In particular most rapid expansion of oil and mineral extraction is happening now in South America where over nine hundred new sites of resource extraction have been established in past ten years. Current infrastructural development in South America will not sustain this pattern of extraction. Many existing South American cities have gone through such transforma-tion due to the industrial revolution and the introduction of extensive highway infrastruc-tures, affecting and modifying its foundational morphologies.

The current trends within South America continue to have a significant influence on the morphology of cities. The introduc-tion of heavy transport and resource flow infrastructure has been influencing formally established city grids as well as their estab-lished scales of operation. The infrastructural imprints have caused social and cultural segregation and made cities struggle with its functional and geographical constrains. Trough the initial research of over five hun-dred cities in South America I have found over 150 remote cities, that have experienced changes in morphology due to the introduc-tion of heavy infrastructures, but did not benefited from this transition. Transportation and resource flow infrastructures have mostly benefited large coastal agglomerations that were able to drive economy trough con-nectivity with the world. Large percentage of South American cities, not benefiting from coastal ports, deals with landlocked condi-tions such as extreme topography, waterway inaccessibility and remote distance causing dependencies on road infrastructures that is influencing its morphologies without specific adaptation systems to its unique conditions. At the same time most of the continents resources are located within the proximity to most remote cities rather than most acces-sible once.

OIL EXTRACTION AND PRODUCTION SITES100KM PERIMETER OF LANDLOCKED CITIES

OIL EXTRACTION AND PRODUCTION INFRASTRUCTURE OIL ECONOMY BASED LANDLOCKED CITIES

Landlocked cities of South American become one of the most prevalent areas in regard to adaptation to new infrastructural scales. So far, trough initial research, I found over one hundred cities within a close proximity to new extraction sites that will continue to influence their rapid growth. Transformation of estab-lished morphologies, within landlocked cities, such as colonial grid will continue to change city the urban fabric and continue to affect city relationships with its internal dynamic as well as external geographic conditions. Those remote and expanding cities are re-establishing their identities to serve new deflected modes of growth and are in need of new adaptation systems to sustain the progression and at the same time minimize urban deterioration. Most of the studied established cities are looking for ways to deal with the decentralization of urbanization in contrast to very centralized infrastructures and governments.

It will become essential for the future of South Americas development to be able to learn from current modes of adaptation and transformation, to be able to effectively utilize its resources along with the creation of more responsive and adaptable patterns of urbanization. I would like to conduct research on current trends of transformation and changes in the morphology of landlocked cities in South America. These cities serve as a laboratory of already existing systems of adaptation to an already introduced and expanding infrastructural framework. Landlocked cities in relationship to current resource extraction as well as agricultural productions, are essential for South America economy and at the same time deal with very specific processes of adaptation to new scales of infrastructural networks within its unique and extreme conditions.

Through a series of initial studies, I have been able to analyze over five hundred South American towns and cities and determine the location of where the most remote land-locked urbanization is occurring. Through an initial accessibility study of each city, such as the presence of: coastal ports, waterways or airports I have been able to select one hundred and twenty cities that represent landlocked condition that are mostly depen-dent on road infrastructure. Each of the one hundred and twenty cities presents a unique condition of change in their morphology as they relate to an already introduced or pro-posed future infrastructure. They each deploy specific relationships to economic shifts and characteristics of development such as: min-eral extraction, oil extraction and production, agricultural production and export, or allow-ance of accessibility and strategic location in regards to crossing of continental transport infrastructure that connect major agglomera-tions. From this first delineation of strategic landlocked cites I have selected ten case studies that will allow me to study specific relationships of changes in morphology. It will be a study of this morphology as they relate to either existing or proposed global transport infrastructure and represent typical conditions from each characteristic.

ALL LANDLOCKED CITIES OF SOUTH AMERICA

Selection includes the following South Ameri-can cities:

The investigation will trace the current and historical morphology of those selected South American landlocked cities, in order to understand the most significant urban projects that have shaped them. These urban projects have an inherent relation-ship to their operation on a continental and global infrastructural scale. The investigation will map their trajectory based on political, topographical, geographical and hydrologi-cal parameters in order to better understand the diverse variations generated by the DNA of the Spanish Foundational town. Trough travel, photography and potential interviews the study will examine relationships between historic colonial parts of cities to new expand-ing parts.

This investigation is intended to trace mor-phological patterns in changes as well as to examine its effect on inner city dynamic such as land use, occupation, vacancies and accessibility to open space. The research will include travel to boundaries of all the se-lected cities to be able to suggest systems of adaptation to each specific landlocked condi-tion. Since the majority of cities are acces-sible only be road, the travel would include a tracing of a lineage between core, boundary, and the surrounding extraction sites along a ground transportation corridor.

Since most of the travel would be based on ground transportation, the travel schedule would be organized by Country to allow for study not only each individual city but the relationships in between them and other regional sites. The travel will utilize either existing public ground transportation of rental car travel. The research intention is to set up a frame work to allow for future expansion and continuation of study in academia as well as in design practice; aligning my personal interests in South America and a desire con-tinue my engagement with future Harvards seminars, exhibitions, and academic studies in the region.
