McDowell Road is commonly referred to as 'Motor Mile' due to the upscale auto dealerships that thrive there, but are now passing. As these dealerships close their doors, viable spaces open that provide opportunities for change. This corridor is a critical place for revitalization, green innovations, and the potential for Arizona State University to expand.
This project focuses upon the redevelopment of the corridor on McDowell Road between two green infrastructures: the Salt River Project Crosscut Canal to the west and the Indian Bend Wash to the east.The current conditions of the corridor include dilapidated lots previously occupied by car dealerships, run-down strip malls, and the small businesses that still survive. McDowell Road, a six lane road that connects to critical cores in Phoenix to the west, intersects with Scottsdale Road-one of the longest north-south roads in the valley. Scottsdale Road is a vital corridor connecting Scottsdale, Tempe, and Chandler. This makes this a critical location for exchange, which is the theme of this project
With oil consumption rising and coming scarcity impending, the need for sustainable and green community is evident, as virtually all business and transportation depends upon fossil fuels. This situation creates and opportunity to bring more people, knowledge, jobs and resources to the corridor.
Space is the foundation (infrastructure) for a an exchange network that creates places for meetings between business people, families, students and recent graduates. In this suburban environment, it is difficult for (serendipitous) meetings to occur, limiting the potential creativity of the community. A new system of spaces transitioning from the existing suburban space type to an urban space type, can create a backbone and friction for urban exchange.
A forty-year plan includes the area developing into a green community that exchanges information and ideas,and creatively utilizes (natural) resources and technologies for a regenerative environment. This community creates a culture of exchange through:
-directly connecting people to the surrounding community. Jobs, learning, and civic practices become local, so that people can move to them without cars.
-actively employing different building methods and alternative energy practices (passive/active solar, recycled building materials, greywater recycling, rainwater harvesting) that respect the local landscape, climate, and water resources
-supporting the cultural and economic diversity through connection of the university and its start up center - Skysong to businesses in a hub of interaction and innovation.
The space infrastructure along the McDowell Exchange Corridor is more than the implementation of 'green infrastructure'; it is a place that encourages 'exchange' - the collaborations, interactions, and civic activism between people and their place.
