I really enjoyed the visit to the urban life studio. We walked around the studio in different groups to listen to my peers talk about their projects, for the expansion of the Farragut houses. The students had also made a visit to the Farragut housing projects. They made representative scale models to show us their vision for the expansion of the farragut housing.They all made new buildings surrounding the older ones. New buildings were going to be built to be multi functional, with office space, commercial space and residential area. They cut the mega-block down into smaller streets with through-traffic. The ways that they created space for business,jobs, homes would help bring more traffic to this area and make it more inviting. This interaction very exciting and experience. I liked seeing urban renewal in its infancy stages.
