Third year architecture students Tricia Stuth’s design studio “Lenoir City: the architecture of city governance and civic life” will investigate multiple sites and buildings for adaptive reuse, expansion, and redevelopment. Projects for Lenoir City Schools Administration, Lenoir City Fire Department, and in-city housing will address needs yet also illustrate opportunities to enhance the public realm. Students will develop and apply knowledge of regulatory, economic, social, ecological, and spatial criteria that influence a city’s evolution in order to understand and facilitate decision-making by local government as it relates to civic resources, space, and identity. Aspirations shared by participating city staff, stakeholders, and citizens will shape concept designs for Lenoir City to use when considering future government buildings, enhanced public space, and cultivation of community.
