Local Code : Real Estates
Finalist in the WPA 2.0 competition sponsored by UCLA Citylab, wpa2.aud.ucla.edu
Proposal Location : Major US Cities with city-owned abandoned lots, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington DC. Case study developed for San Francisco.
Local Code : Real Estates uses geospatial analysis to identify thousands of publicly owned abandoned sites in major US cities, imagining this distributed, vacant landscape as a new urban system. Using parametric design, a landscape proposal for each site is tailored to local conditions, optimizing thermal and hydrological performance to enhance the whole city’s ecology—and relieving burdens on existing infrastructure. Local Code’s quantifiable effects on energy usage and stormwater remediation eradicate the need for more expensive, yet invisible, sewer and electrical upgrades. In addition, the project uses citizen participation to conceive a new, more public infrastructure as well —a robust network of urban greenways with tangible benefits to the health and safety of every citizen.

). The quad image picture needs to be broken down into its separate parts. One of the captions on that image may be inaccurate (Dolores Heights - Third St. or 21st St.). Also, the download (M4V) is too large for dial-up users. Having it in fifty to sixty megabyte (50 - 60MB) chunks would be more manageable. I'm using Kaffeine as my main player with MPlayer as a fall-back (SUSE 10 Linux).
Thanks
