Welcome 

This web page is a presentation of work done throughout the Spring Semester 2000 for a joint studio of Architecture 372 and Landscape Architecture 338.  The group members include: Lauren Leighty, junior in landscape architecture, Beth Lindahl, senior in architecture, Andrew Foster, senior in architecture, and James Clarke, senior in landscape architecture.  The project consisted of the site and building development of an elderly housing community.   the site: the Alta Sita neighborhood of East St. Louis.  This collaborative studio was a new step in the involvement of the University of Illinois in the
East St. Louis Action Research Project.

Our website has been designed to be easily navigated.  It takes you through the phases of the project (left sidebar) and site pictures,  work weekends and design reviews (right sidebar) to convey feedback from professors as well as residents of the East St. Louis community.  In each of these sections clicking on the picture will enhance the size and create more easily read images.  Please enjoy your visit. 

The first step of the project was choosing a site.  Residents of the Alta Sita community identified several areas which they thought to be suitable.  The site we chose to develop is at the corner of 22nd Street and Market Street.  See relevant maps on left sidebar for more site information.
Our second course of action was addresssing specific design goals.  These goals were developed throughout the course of the semester and tailored to the specific needs and desires of the community:

Maintanance of independent lifestyle for residents
Incorporation of Independent and Assisted Living apartments
Interactive space for children and adults
Safe outdoor activity areas
Integration of outdoor and indoor spaces

We have accomplished these goals through a series of designs which were repeatedly scrutinized by Alta Sita residents and the School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture.  Please browse throughout the page, the design development is on the left sidebar, the topmost being the  final design.  You can now access the comments we recieved from our final reviews
