signers (architects and landscape architects) are responsible for offering residents design solutions to citizens problems. For architects, these may include designing sustainable buildings, creating walkable paths, creating "nodes" for developement, or finding ways to re-use existing structures. Landscape architects may help develop parkland, create gardens, repair or replace water systems and other infrastructure developments. Designers should make themselves available to the community and their needs. They should design for the community's needs, not for their own idealistic visions. Among the ideas designers can offer to the residents of East St. Louis:
-Sustainably designed buildings, which include use of natural or recycled materials, energy
efficent building systems, appliances, etc. Also provide energy generating mechanisms
such as solar panels or photovoltaic cells.
-Flexable layouts of a building plan to suit the exact needs of a community
-Adaptive re-use (re-use of existing structures for other purposes)
-Various styles and sizes of housing to suit individual families' needs
-Provide modular incremental housing so the house can grow as the family grows.
-Provide as much natural daylight, heating and cooling as possible to reduce utility costs.
-Provide energy efficient lighting and HVAC systems, as well appliances.
-Design building to fit their site (reduces site preperation time and money, and allows for a
building that is more suited to its environment). Orient the building to take full advantage of
its site.
-Create developmental "nodes" in cities to provide for commercial growth.
-Create walkable paths in the community, especially leading toward the town center,
transportation hubs and parks.
-Find ways to incorporate or harvest renewable resources (sun, wind, trees, water) within the
community
-Provide street lighting that is directed toward the ground (globe lights scatter the light --
that is not good as it reduces the amount of light hitting the street, where it is needed most)
-Make provisions for future development or expansion
-Above all, make designs fit the needs of the community as the residents see them!
