This design research delivers a design and recommendations to meet the community's vision and goals of an inclusive civic gathering space in the heart of downtown Davis, California. This work was intended to inform the City of Davis Downtown Davis Specific Plan (Specific Plan), and the subsequent form-based code. The City's central objective of the Specific Plan and form-based codes was to improve the economic and social viability downtown by providing a predictable development process for landowners and bordering neighborhoods.The Davis community indicated strong support for the development of a civic gathering space at the E Street Plaza, therefore it is the focus of this design research. My knowledge of community development and engagement, landscape architecture, environmental design, and transportation practices guided this research and findings. The design objective applies the community vision, values, and aspirations for a communal gathering space by establishing these goals:Sustainability pilot demonstration an intensity to attract visitors.Inclusivity modeled as public space planning and design for people of all ages and abilities.Identify Davis as a progressive, health conscious, intellectual city.Analysis confirmed that the centrally located E Street Plaza and the adjoining building forms, spaces, and streetscape create an ideal form to hold a gathering space. The property is city-owned, highly visible, has a people catchment, and is accessible by multiple travel modes. This location possesses an exceptional opportunity to exhibit progressive energy technology and sustainability techniques, demonstrate commitment to fully integrated inclusivity, and to validate Davis' overall identity.Sustainability is exhibited through these essential features:Pilot and model the newest energy collection systems.Deliver a low-stress streetscape for all travel modes and allocating space for next-generation transportation.Prohibit commercial waste storage on civic property to induce waste reduction and improve pedestrian facilities.Inclusivity is delivered through these key strategies:Apply a Universal Design framework from the planning to implementation phase.Prohibit privately-owned seating, provide open seating and other shared amenities like restrooms.Integrate interactive sculpture and playful elements throughout the space to include people of all ages and abilities, from families to the experienced generation.To distinguish Davis' identity, one that honors and rejuvenates the story of Davis, the design aesthetic focused on the following elements:Historic geography, by exhibiting a ground plane of the oldest recorded map.Portray Davis' achievements in bicycling transportation through design.Community reflection through structures that are mirrored underneath, to see at once one's own reflection as well as the community in which they belong.The final recommendations revealed through this design research could help establish specifications for Downtown sustainability infrastructures, design process, and conceivable techniques to communicate Davis' identity. I expect these findings to open conversation about designing a gathering space and further refining the community vision for such a space.
