Localize - 14th Street & Lucas- St. Louis, MO

Final Thesis proposal. Some highlights- really loved this project.... still do :)

Thesis progress - initial proposal- Urban farm to factory + mixed use development. St. Louis, Missouri

"The Mission is to create a mixed use development that sustainability 

generates resources through economically feasible means of production. The 

focus is to integrate use types in a way that diminishes the need for resources 

while creating them internally. In doing so the development generates a means 

for sustainability, not only through fixed resources but through community within, 

allowing it to be located within a neighborhood that borders adjacent 

infrastructure of services but are not necessarily connected. This urban private 

sector project will include street level commercial space while having residential, 

recreational and agricultural typologies within a single built environment.

St. Louis is a city in Missouri with a population of approximately 320,000

people. The city currently relies on outlying suburban municipalities to sustain

it’s presence as a city center. This said, the city is in a period of significant

redevelopment and has an influx of young professionals. A shift of focus has led 

developers and residents alike to look to the city for growth yet again. This 

subtle growth mixed with existing infrastructure and low cost land creates a 

market prime for new business concepts. 

Global demand for increasing ROI while maintaining environmental goals is not 

anything new. One major challenge in both generating profit and conserving 

resources is in logistics. The closer services and providers are, the more money

the business saves and less fossil fuels they waste."
