Masters Thesis Project Spring 2013
The urban fabric in the Ashby and Vine City neighborhoods has been greatly affected with paroxysmal change throughout its history. Slum Clearance, recessions, and war have been three major factors that have fueled this discontinuous pattern of development.
However, in spite of the tough periods, the Vine City district has continued to progress but lacks an architectural monument that can serve the pragmatic needs of the
community while being environmentally responsible. This mixed-use complex aims to serve as community incubator that provides a high performing, environmentally responsible architectural development to the Vine City community.
The Masters Thesis Project focused on how to effectively use Autodesk Revit and Energy Analysis Software to reduce the energy cost in buildings.
