(re)connect: increasing accessibility to repopulate the urban core Spring 2011 Studio
(re)connect is a study of the empire rail corridor and its potential for changing settlement patterns as we transition into a post-carbon society. While the current plan for High Speed Rail in Upstate New York is important, we believe its ability to be integrated with a fully functional local and regional rail system is paramount.
study area:The high speed rail is very important for us to sucessfully transition the communities of Upstate New York into a post-carbon world. While we have focused on Buffalo for this analysis, its pricipals could be adapted to other, similar rust belt cities.
creation of a model: Settlement patterns are likely to change as we ween ourselves off of fossil fuels. In order to determine where new settlement should occur or where conservation should occur, we have developed a model to determine the suitability of areas in the city for change.

adjusting the model:To analyze the effectiveness of the model, we have chosen look at the analysis more intimately.
conclusions:• Development model weighs heavy rail too
much and is missing key potential internal rail connections.
• Need to expand model into one for each residential / commercial, industrial, agricultural, and preservation.
• Need for the development of a streetcar plan.development of streetcar plan:
• We have developed a streetcar plan for the Buffalo area by using existing right-of-way on major thoroughfares. An emphasis has been put on connecting most existing residential communties and between the rail lines.
• The streetcar plan was then incorporated into a new residential model to direct future change.
• Distances from a transit study by Sean O’Sullivan and John Morrall were used. Most preference was on areas closer to the line.
population analysis of the model:Derived from the residential settlement zones we run population analyses of the Buffalo area. These include:• Calculate population of Erie County and calculate potential densities needed to relocate
everyone to the zones generated by the model.• Compare to historical density information from 1920 prior to decentralization
Erie County Buffalo
Swan Street Downtown Buffalo, NY circa.
Erie County Pop. = 950,265Erie County Area = 675,875
Erie County Pop. = 950,265Settlement Area = 43,004 acres
Erie County Population Density = 1.4 people / acre
Proposed Population Density = 22.1 people / acre
1920 Buffalo Pop. = 580,6081920 Buffalo City Area = 26,880 acres
1920 Buffalo Population Density = 21.6 people / acre

Farmland zones will be created to encourage the transition of periperial areas to farmland and to increase urban agricultural lands. (Policy only - this is a response to rail intervention)
F Farmland Zone
These targeted areas of the city will be deconstructed and materials will be reused for new development throughout the rest of the city. (Policy only - this is a response to rail intervention)
R Regenerative Zone
While driven by state and federal initiatives, high-speed rail is essential to connecting communities in Upstate New York and throughout North America.

As the project evolved, it became clear that simply capping the sunken freeway was ignoring problems caused by automobile traffic. By incorporating portions of the freeway into the design it created an experience that would be informed by the park user and the freeway driver.

Some of the former warehouses are refurbished and reused to create an Art Alley, consisting of art studios and gallery spaces.
Car-share program in a neighborhood can take as many as 10 cars off the road, which can potentially free up 30 parking spaces on a regional basis. To accommodate parking needs, we are replacing surface parking with multi-level underground parking.
Multi-story medical facility provides new jobs and stable tenant occupancy.
Compact streetscapes encourage people to walk and shop in local in-town businesses. The “Fault Street” is a new major commercial street consisting of retail and mixed-use shop homes that will attract the locals as well as tourists.
Locally-owned cafes, restaurants and retail near urban park support local spending and sprout other economic activities.
10-story Green Art Hotel located in the heart of the new commercial/retail district will bring in tourists and stimulate local economy.
The Village Green Park provides spaces for social gatherings, local festivals, and special events to foster interactions of a diverse population. The park also educates people about the geological history of the site, giving the park and the neighborhood a unique identity.
Market-rate and affordable housing (20%) units allow mixed-income families to live harmoniously in the same neighborhood. Some of these can be constructed with seismic retrofitted prefabricated housing units which can be modified to suit individual needs.
Park bridges on Broadway and Market St. establish friendly connections between East Village and the neighborhoods east of I-5, such as the Golden Hill and Logan Heights communities.
Social service centers are distributed within East Village to provide services to those in need.
Public/private organizations provide funding and continuous guidance and support to help different social and cultural groups with various needs.

Prefabricated Homes -- often referred to as prefab homes, are dwellings manufactured off-site in advance, usually in standard sections that can be easily shipped and assembled.
Go Green-- building a prefab home is earth friendly. Prefabrication techniques reduce waste, offer energy-saving designs and improve manufacturing and construction efficiencies. More green thoughts; reduce your carbon footprint, recycle waste, and car donation.The primary goal of building a green home is to reduce its environmental impact while also creating a healthy environment for occupants. Architects and builders do this by emphasizing energy efficiency, reducing fresh water use, selecting materials that are healthy and sustainable, and choosing sites that minimize environmental disturbance.
Various & Flexible & Adaptive & RegenrativeThe prefab units are suitable for:- Office- Conference rooms- Warehouse- School building- Accommodation units- Canteen facilities- Kitchen facilities- Laundry facilities- Shops
