Editor's Notes
- Good afternoon! I’m Jazlyn & I’m a sophomore Urban Studies Major at Stanford University. I’ll be presenting a proposal for the 4th & King Caltrain Railyard site Project is called the Urban Forest literal and symbolic forest centered around 3 tenets expansion exploration conservation
- OPPORTUNITY!!!! Gateway to the city 280 & transit hub – what do we want people to remember about san francisco? Three Principles EXPANSION EXPLORATION CONSERVATION Blank Slate / Boulevard Configuration Higher property values + less complicated Justified by density + economic opportunity of the site Focus on the recommended principles Enhancing the pedestrian experience Give neighborhoods an identity/connection Support for transit
- In context
- SUPPORT FOR TRANSIT Support for transit really means providing infrastructure to support incoming traffic Potrero Hill Neighborhood Assn Prez – need space for infrastructure Safer for bikers on the inside, scenic bike ride at the end Increase density + give people who are riding transit a place to go
- Mix of modernist + “clean” greenery Lawns + trees Wider corridors Transition from the sterile existing designs into the wilder concepts of the next two blocks
- Highest elevation: 400ft “Landmark” towers Glass to avoid shadows/crime
- DISCOVER SOMETHING NEW IN YOUR BACKYARD Sense of unfamiliarity in a place that you may have lived in your whole life Tenderloin National Forest More overgrown, edgy, tighter corridors
- 20 FT Wide project in Austin Reclaim alleys Beauty in uncomfortability People will want to come back > revisit factor Always something new to explore/see Everchanging
- Decreasing in heights as you move into the more natural sect
- WHY A FOREST? A grand compromise Natural elements to knit together the neighborhoods > the waterfront, history of wetlands, Mission Creek houseboat community UNIQUE + SURPRISING > people will want to come see the forest in the middle of the city Low elevation Environmental benefits ^^^^^^^
- RETURN TO THE NATURAL Remove a tree… plant a tree here Simplify Natural, sustainable materials Quaint, unique retail opportunities Environmental education site as entrance to the forest
- To answer my question posed in the beginning… what do I want people to remember about San Francisco? That there is always something new to discover That the people here care > about the world, about each other, about the environment But most of all, that it is a city unlike any other Let’s create the gateway that San Francisco deserves
