This interdisciplinary design studio focused on scenarios for multi-story, multi-unit transit
oriented development for the 4.4 acre site, located across from Gresham Crossing
in Gresham, OR. The studio program consisted largely of compact residential apartments
and shared outdoor spaces that provide value for people and nonhuman
inhabitants. This studio ultimately demonstrated that vibrant, dense development
in an urban setting can provide green amenities and sustainable building features and
infrastructure that benefit people and wildlife. The scenarios showcase these applications of
low impact, nature-friendly, development practices for built structures, stormwater management
and natural spaces.
