1. Introduction

Figure 1. Browder Plaza Master Plan

The City of Dallas Office of Economic Development has been tasked with revitalizing several important corridors throughout the City. Corridors within the Central Business District (CBD) take on special importance because of the proximity to the new Convention Center Hotel and other prominent investments by the public and private community. Browder Street Urban Plaza is within one of these revitalization corridors. The plaza is located at the 1500 block between Jackson Street and Commerce Street. It is a short, one-block section of roadway that was converted to pedestrian-only use several years ago. The new AT&T headquarters and the historic Dallas Power & Light building abut Browder Street, with Urban Market and the Joule Hotel are located nearby. The Architectural Visioning Study and Design Guidelines that are shown in this booklet create and illustrate a vision for new pedestrian-oriented development on Browder Street, from Jackson Street to Commerce Street, help pedestrians feel a sense of place and bring back a live, creative energy to the CBD.

likely due to subsurface complications and limited root zone. Existing site constraints include an underground parking garage and City of Dallas sewer lines under portions of the plaza. There is no potential for people to gather and activate the space. There are no benches , special lighting or other uses to create activity in the space. The best-used plazas are social places (Whyte) Light fixtures, column markers and paving are out-dated or in disrepair. 2 Hotels are located within one city block of this plaza with residential buildings to the north, east and west.

Design Concept

Project Intent

To create an architectural vision for the improvement of Browder Street, from Jackson Street to Commerce Street incorporating Architectural & organic features that will engage the senses and invite people to activate space. Full pedestrian and bicycle utility for a pedestrian-oriented development. An urban oasis for pedestrians to people-watch, eat, shop, visit, study, relax and enjoy themselves. Private & Public retail interest to help activate and energize the currently underutilized space. this

Observations on site showed a strong pedestrian flow or travel pattern from the south end of commerce to the north end of jackson within the Browder Street plaza boundaries. This is due to the location of the plaza as an interstitial space between destinations in the CBD. To create the plaza itself as a destination is the goal . Studies of plaza spaces in urban areas show that what attracts people to public outdoor plazas is more people. People also tend to sit in the mainstream or pedestrian flow of a space. Whether it is to people watch or to sit and have an inpromptu conversation. Thus the design concept is based on the movement of people thru the space and the interaction between pedestrians , people-watchers and those just relaxing and eating their lunch. The central planter spine not only allows people to sit in the activity of people moving, it allows for people watching and creates an angled planter that accomodates pedestrian traffic flow and creates human scale spaces for people to comfortably gather. The raised planter/seatwall allows for healthy plant material by increasing soil depth and thus increases success rates for the longevity and vitality of the plant material. The angle of the planter allows more plant material to be viewed from the street looking into the plaza to encourage passers-by to enter. Windspires are located at the east and west end of the plaza. These elements will serve a sculpurual function as well as provide renewable energy for the user of the plaza. They are positioned to take advantage of the tunnel of wind created by the location of the two exsting building that flank the plaza. The energy generated by these windspires can be used for laptop use by the plaza user or by moveable food carts or retail kiosks. Where there is food there are people, thus the plaza is designed to grow orgainically as future retail develops. Potential retail/food kiosks are located between planters along this spine with moveable seating throughout the plaza. Food carts and other moveable vendors are also encouraged to enliven the space. Potential future retail at the north corner of the plaza will provide a permanent anchor for the plaza. A green screen wall behind this retail creates a green backdrop for the plaza. A projection wall located on the West blank facade of the DP&L building will create activity at the corner of commerce for views into the plaza from the CBD. Two large canopies cover the seating near the AT&T building provinding shelter in inclimate weather and creating an opportunity for projections at night to further enliven the space. This area can also be used as a small gathering space for outdoor concerts and events. A stone plinth is located near jackson street and the AT&T building providing elevated planting for specimen tree to provide a green canopy when looking into the plaza.

Analysis

Browder Street, from Jackson Street to Commerce Street, is a short, one-block section of roadway that currently serves as a pedestrian thoroughfare primarily connecting Main Street to residential buildings, Urban Market, AT&T building and the Joule and Magnolia Hotels. Observations and findings from the site are listed below and were used as a guide in the design process. Trees placed in this section of Browder Street have never fully realized their true potential, most

The following guidelines were used in the design of the Browder Street Urban Plaza, thus setting a standard for quality and quantity of seating, circulation and other amenities.

Deterrents to skateboards, rollerblades and other wheeled devices are permitted on seating surfaces if they do not inhibit seating, maintain a minimum distance of ten feet between deterrents, and are integrated into the seating surface at the time of construction. The following standards must be met for all plaza seating: (1) Seating shall have a minimum depth of 18 inches and a maximum depth of 24 inches. Seating on planter ledges must have a minimum depth of 22 inches and are designed as 24 inches in depth as a standard. (2) Moveable seating or chairs, excluding seating for open air cafes, may be credited as 30 inches (2.5 linear feet) of linear seating per chair. Moveable seating provided as a required amenity shall not exceed 50 percent of the total seating required. One table shall be provided for every four such moveable chairs. All moveable seats must have baks and have a maximum seat depth of 20 inches. Moveable chairs shall not be chained, fixed, or otherwise secured while the public plaza is open to the public; moveable chairs, however, may be stored between the hours of sunset and sunrise unless an agreement has been made between the City of Dallas and a retail vendor to use these tables and chairs after sunset. In this case the vendor would be responsible for storing the tables and chairs at the close of each business day. (3) Seats that face walls must be a minimum of six feet from such wall.

Seating
The standards for seating within any public plaza are intended to provide abundant, comfortable and accessible seating throughout the site. Seating for Browder Street Plaza should be designed to include the following: - to accommodate individual users engaged in solitary activities as well as groups engaged in social activities; - to provide a comfortable and safe seating surface by providing smooth, even and level surfaces with rounded edges; - to provide ample opportunity for social seating as a basic seating type that consists of seats that are placed in close proximity and at angles to one another or in facing configurations that facilitate social interaction. Browder Street plaza has three types of seating within the plaza limits: - Seat walls - Planter ledges - Movable seating The design provides exceeds the minimum urban design standard as set forth by William Whyte: One linear foot of seating for every 30 square feet of public plaza area. As for seatwalls and planter ledges located in the plaza, devices or forms affixed or incorporated into the seatwalls or ledges (or other horizontal surfaces that are otherwise suitable for seating) that are intended to prevent or inhibit seating (such as spikes, metal bars, or pointed, excessively rough, or deliberately uncomfortable materials or forms) shall be prohibited.

2.2 Circulation

Kiosks & Plaza Retail

The one question asked over again was how much retail/food vending operation will this plaza support. The best way to answer this question is to determine how much seating these retail operations need in order to accomodate users. Assuming that retail and kiosks in or facing the plaza will primarily serve food, the best standard to apply that has similar characteristics was a food court. A successful example of this is at Northpark Mall food court area. There are 10 tenants (aproximately 400-600 square feet) facing the seating provided for the food court. There are 155.5, 4-top tables/seats thus providing 622 seats (155.5x4=622) or 1555 linear feet (622 x 2.5) of seating. This means that for 1 tenant at Northpark, 62.2 seats or 155.5 linear feet of seating is provided. In national standards this number ranged from 40 to 50 seats per tenant to as much as 75 seats per tenant in malls with heavy traffic. Thus the best comparison for downtown dallas is the Northpark Mall case study. There are a maximum of three kiosks planned based on 1 kiosk per 5,000 square feet, a criterion set for by Whyte in he Social Life of Small Urban Spaces. This would require 186 seats (3 x 62) or 465 linear feet (186 x 2.5) of seating. In addition retail facing the plaza will include 8 tenants one of which is existing. at the AT&T building. These storefronts range in size from approximately 600 to 900 square feet. Assuming that 1/2 of tenant seating will be provided inside each facility, each perimeter tenant facing the plaza would need 248 seats (8 x 496/2=248) or 620 linear feet of seating. Thus the kiosk/retail seating demand total on the plaza will be 434 seats or 1085 linear feet of seating. The plaza illustration shows 1081 linear feet of seating provided. An additional 4 linear feet of seating would need to be added or provided at that time. It is important to note here that the implementation of the kiosks in the plaza is a maximum. The retail, kiosks and moveable carts should evolve organically over time with an emphasis in the beginning on moveable food carts to determine demand. Kiosks should only be added to the plaza if they prove successful and necessary as deemed by pedestrian traffic and demand. Kiosks, where provided, shall be a 1-story structure made of predominately light materials such as metal, glass, plastic or fabric not to exceed 100 square feet. 1 kiosk per 5,000 square feet of plaza space has been provided. Kiosks must not impede circulation into or within the public plaza. They should be placed at least 35 feet from back of curb and centrally located to not obstruct sightlines through the plaza or impede pedestrian traffic. To ensure that kiosks are well-designed and integrated into the plaza layout, they should be permitted only through the City Planning Commission. This also ensures that the kiosk complies with operational and design standards set by the City of Dallas. Permitted uses of kiosks include book or news stands, food or drink service, and other uses that complement the use of the public plaza. All kiosks are required to provide service at least 225 days per year, unless the kiosk is fully removed from the public plaza when not in operation.

Browder Street Kiosk/Retail Calculation

Kiosk/Retail to Seating Capacity (Maximum Possible based on ) 8 Existing/Planned Retail Tenants x 496/2=248 seats or 620 linear feet (248 x 2.5) 3 Potential kiosks x 62 = 186 seats (3 x 62) or 465 linear feet (186 x 2.5) Retail/Kiosk Seating Demand 186 + 248 = 434 seats or 1085 lnear feet of seating Seating provided = 1081 linear feet of seating Kiosk Capacity (Maximum Possible) Kiosk = 100 square feet maximum Plaza total area= 14,535.45 square feet 1 kiosk per 5,000 square feet of plaza = 14535.45/5,000 = 3 kiosks

Open Air Cafes

Where a kiosk is provided, it shall be a one-story structure, predominantly of light-colored materials, such as metal, glass, plastic or fabric as approved by the City of Dallas that, including roofed areas, does not occupy an area in excess of 160 square feet. An open air cafe is a permanently unenclosed restaurant or eating or drinking place, permitted by applicable district regulations, which may have waiter or table service, and shall be open to the sky except where canopies have been installed. * An open air caf must be accessible from all sides where there is a boundary with the remainder of the urban plaza . No kitchen equipment shall be installed within an open air cafe; however, Moveable food carts are permitted. Kitchen equipment may be contained in a kiosk adjoining an open air cafe.

The following is required for full perimeter of some outdoor dining areas: A planter barrier is required for the full perimeter (with the exception of access openings) when the restaurant serves alcohol. The perimeter includes both the leading edge and parallel edge. Restaurants which do not serve alcohol are not required to enclose the full perimeter of the seating area, but may do so on an optional basis. The face of planter shall be 10 feet from the face of building on the parallel edge. Colors and materials may be grey painted metal or raw metal finish.

Moveable food carts

Moveable food carts provide food service to plaza areas with no initial investment needed. Licesnsed vendors with the City of Dallsa are encouraged and can help activate and populate a space rather quickly. Seating in Browder Plaza will help accomodate their users. Moveable food carts can provide an invaluable assest by helping City staff determine demand for food and retail space to allow the orgainic development of other retail and kiosk opportunities.

Plant material
The plant material selected is composed of species that are native and adapted to DFW. They are shade tolerant and drought-tolerant and easy to maintain in an urban environment. Use of vegetation that promotes a regional identity and a sense of place in a downtown urban enviornment is the primary focus of the plan material selected. Use of native and adapted species appropriate to site conditions, climate, and design intent to support biodiversity, reduced pesticide use, and water conservation. Vegetation can lower energy consumption to reduce energy consumption and costs associated with indoor energy needs, place vegetation or vegetated structures in strategic locations around buildings.

Paver

Paver

There are four types of paving within Browder Street Plaza. Concrete paver, light broom finish concrete, ADA paver ramps and large Limestone boulders. There is an importance on color and texture with regard to the paving selections shown on the following pages. A dark ground plane helps create contrast to the stark buildings adjacent to the plaza. The darker grey paver is also smaller in scale to let the passer-by know that this is a special area and denotes the boundaries of the plaza. The concrete band emphasises the planter/seatwall spine and breaks the paving with a band to create an urban scale. The fitted Limestone boulders are a hardscape material but are not meant for walking. They build up the groundplane and create a rough raised texture at the west plaza entry.

Planters Raised planters allows for healthy plant material by increasing soil depth thus increasing Stone Planter Concrete Planter

success rates for the longevity and vitality of plant material. Raised plant material also allows more plant material to be viewed from the street looking into the plaza to encourage passers-by to enter as well as providing a place for people to sit informally. The central design feature within the Browder Street Plaza is the planter/seatwall spine. The shape, detailing, placement and planting within will make it a visual landmark within the CBD. The architectural concrete and its finish are the most important aspect with regard to the execution of the walls. The finish should be smooth and the concrete should have no visible aggegate or honeycombing due to lack of vibration. This is critical to the successful look of the planter and any sub standard work should be rejected. A mock up of the seat wall with appropriate radius and the seat edge should be cast on site prior to any approvals. The southern planter/seatwall should match the spine in quality of concrete and finish. The fitted stone planter material is shown in the paving types section of this chapter, however a section is shown in this chapter to illustrate design intent of the planter and plant material placement.

Planting

The central spine should be a unique but identifiable plant for Dallas. The adjacent buildings offer ample shade within the plaza so tree cover is not necessary. This is also an opportunity to use a plant material that is water wise and native to the area to reduce maintenance costs. These last two criteria also help identify the plantings in the south planter at the entrance of Commerce Street. The west end of the plaza opens up visually due to the lack of building density at Jackson Street. Trees in a raised planter are an appropriate use. The following pages show the plant material recommended for Browder Street Urban plaza. These plant material that will perform well in these harsh urban conditions and provide visual interest while creating an unique sense of the Dallas landscape.

Green Wall There are many advantages to Green Walls in urban

environments. This location for a Green Wall helps soften the plaza entry at Commerce Street while making use of vertical space that would otherwise be a blank wall. Vegetation on buildings in urban environments has many functional benefits as well. Wall climbing vegetation helps reduce noise levles and solar heat through the heat island effect while absorbing CO2 emissions. All plants also absorb and breakdown a variety of pollutants, notably vunburnt hydrocarbons from vehicle exhaust. It is a reasonable assumption that urban climbers could play a role in reducing these in urban areas.

Windspires

These wind turbines are to perform function and provide public awareness. By engaging plaza users and teaching them about the power of wind energy and how to use it. These vertical wind turbines come as a complete system and stand 30 tall and 4 wide. They are quiet and only need 8 feet of separation when positioned side by side to directly face the prevailing wind direction. With the two large building adjacent to the plaza, a wind tunnel is formed and allows for the opportunity to capture this wind energy and reuse it. This plug and play type application can provide energy for laptops, kiosks and/or cart vendors. Wind and site requirements will need to be assessed before procurement.

The minimum spacing required between each WindspireTM is 50 feet on centers when positioned downwind from each other along the line of the prevailing wind direction. III. If the desired placement of a row of WindspireTM wind turbines is at an angle offset from the prevailing wind direction, a different spacing must be used, as is described below: Figure 49.

Lighting

Lighting is one element in a complex set of factors that support a social space. It should provide a connection between people, light, and the urban environment. I should also instill a feeling of safety. These aspects are of critical importance to the economic and cultural vitality of this urban plaza.
