Axis and Densi�cationTransit Oriented Development - Evanston
As the trend toward moving back into the city continues, transit oriented developments (TODs) are innovative design initiatives to sustain population growth by reducing the need to drive. The Evanston TOD which surrounds a proposed Wasson Way light rail station provides a community of housing, shopping, working, and educating.
This TOD has two major goals. The �rst is to unite Evanston and Norwood, OH through a strong linear axis that runs from the northern entry of the LTR station directly to the Beau Arts pavilion of a newly renovated Evanston Playground. The second is to re�ect Cincinnati’s trend of dense development along I71. The tall commercial buildings create an iconic view from the highway to draw visitors into the TOD.
The Beverly - Portland, OR5 story mixed use building. Bank and grocer on 1st. Parking on 2nd, residential on top 2 �oors with rooftop courtyard. The court yard plays an instrumental role in creating intima-cy between residents. The Beverly can be applied to build-ing 2B.
London, EnglandCondos that resemble the exist-ing homes of Norwood are vital in integrating new develop-ment into existing neighbor-hoods. This image can be ap-plied to buildings 3A and 3B.
Prospect Park - Minneapolis, MN Wrap around mixed use build-ing hides parking lots from pe-destrians. This image can be ap-plied to building 1B.
Munich, GermanyGreen roof over parking garage. This building can be applied to building 1B and 2B.
Paris, France Pedestrian and bike axis are very common. This image can be applied to the major bike/pedestrian access from the LTR station to the pavil-ion
