Book excerpt: Charlotte's new Light Rail Station and Museum is the new innovation to come to the Queen City. With high hopes of attracting new comers, cutting back on traffic congestion, and an increase in revenue brought to the city, the new station should represent an important landmark for the extreme investment put into the light rail to ensure the success of the latest transportation system. Similarly, grand pavilions, arcades, and market places in Europe strive for extreme buildings to house consumers and create an experience while passing through one space to get to another. This overwhelming experience was my primary goal in the design of the light rail. Charlotte's light rail station should express the importance of the new transportation system and get people excited about having this experience come into the city. The parti of the design is separated into three distinct bays, the largest bay being the central atrium space with a clear destination of the tracks or the street, depending on which direction one is coming from. The building also offers small distractions containing retail spaces, dining, and a complete exhibition space containing the thorough history of Charlotte and the historic trolley car. For the everyday hustle and bustle of the city the building still offers the clear organization to get a travel to their destination as quickly as possible, for the tourist or the curious, the space offers much to do and discover. The building is also adaptable to whatever future business may occupy that space, i.e. a fresh market in the core of the atrium. The parti also contains an anchor piece, the abstract sculpture piece that lets everyone know where they are within the city or refer to as a landmark. The sculpture piece offers a grand view of uptown Charlotte from its third floor reception hall, surrounded with glazing the tower illuminates at night to establish its presence. The design fully follows the desire to reflect and create a new public space and bring importance to Charlotte's latest upgrade.

Book excerpt: Pop-up architecutre started with the idea of looking at tents, and how they are light weight, callapsable and expandable when necessary. The project I chose is a trolley museum, light rail station, and exhibition gallery spaces. My goal is to creat architecture for the moment. I want the program spaces to be expandable to easily change and double the square footage if necessary. Not all the program spaces need to be permenant so I am looking at how tensile strucutres work. Tent structures are very effecient housing; lightweight and fold out. I also was looking at how light and sound can be manipulated and expressed on the fabric panels. The transluscent quality is something unique to the fabric structures to where artificial light can be projected as well as letting natural light filter through during the day. Tensile structures are useful in covering large gatherings of people from the elements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Charlotte trolley has the opportunity to help define the cultural, civic, and economic life of Charlotte. A dynamic museum on wheels, the trolley can tell stories about neighborhood history and development, transportation technology, and Charlotte's built environment. Partnerships with well-established cultural institutions will deliver audiences and program facilities, and help the trolley establish itself ans an important steward of Charlotte's community history. The trolley already reaches thousands of pubic and private school children in Charlotte-Mecklenburg. The trolley should assume the role of an honest broker in the community's discussion of topics important to Charlotte's growth and prosperity. A core exhibition at the Bland Street Barn will be the staging area for a trolley experience that will embrace the entire city.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Architecture shapes our lives more than we know. A building's approach, lighting, circulation, and basic function are all components of design. Design, from places of worship to our places of rest, drives the way we live and learn as individuals. Buildings sizes and shapes play a role in transforming our cities into communities, and dictate the way we live within them. This holds true to all forms of architectural buildings. The proposed Light Rail Station and Streetcar Interpretation Center, located in Charlotte, NC, on Camden Road in Historic South End will shape the population of Charlotte in a unique way. The Architecture for this project focuses on the glass box. The transparent cube displays a part of Charlotte's trolley history within, while allowing it to become a part of the urban fabric in which it was built. The light rail station along with the Trolley museum will become a destination, adding to South End's unique fabric. Designed with modern materials and techniques, the building should be a reflection of Charlotte's rail transportation past and future. With this in mind, the Trolley Interpretation Center should be designed as an interactive museum that displays the working trolley line refurbished in all its glory. While the modern design with dining and outdoor recreation areas begin to identify movement in Architecture that begins to form the culture of light rail in Charlotte.

No Great American road trip would be complete without seeing trains streaming across wild prairies and through thick forests. All kinds of diesel and even a few steam locomotives can be seen, with everything from boxy frontends to curving streamlined bodies. The containers, flat cars, and boxcars pulled by these locomotives carry diverse freight, and the variety of these cars is wide. Field Guide to Trains: Locomotives and Rolling Stock is the source for easy-to-digest information on locomotives and cars. Model railroaders will also find this book indispensible, as it offers myriad ideas for realistic train systems. The book is divided by diesel-electric locomotives, self-propelled passenger trains, passenger cars, freight cars, rail transit, and preserved equipment at museums and excursion steam locomotives. It also touches on historic diesels, vintage trams, maintenance trains, snowplow engines, and circus trains. Featuring North American and world examples of trains, Field Guide to Trains includes just about any type of locomotive and train car you are likely to see on the rails today, making this book the only available comprehensive guide to locomotives and rolling stock out there. Bring Field Guide to Trains: Locomotives and Rolling Stock along on family trips to see what rolls the rails as you're traveling. Make a game of how many locomotives and car types you can identify. Buy locomotives and certain car types for your model layout. This is simply the handiest field guide for families and railroad buffs that you'll ever find.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid evolution of Charlotte, North Carolina, from “regional backwater” to globally ascendant city provides stark contrasts of then and now. Once a regional manufacturing and textile center, Charlotte stands today as one of the nation’s premier banking and financial cores with interests reaching broadly into global markets. Once defined by its biracial and bicultural character, Charlotte is now an emerging immigrant gateway drawing newcomers from Latin America and across the globe. Once derided for its sleepy, nine-to-five “uptown,” Charlotte’s center city has been wholly transformed by residential gentrification, corporate headquarters construction, and amenity-based redevelopment. And yet, despite its rapid transformation, Charlotte remains distinctively southern—globalizing, not yet global. This book brings together an interdisciplinary team of leading scholars and local experts to examine Charlotte from multiple angles. Their topics include the banking industry, gentrification, boosterism, architecture, city planning, transit, public schools, NASCAR, and the African American and Latino communities. United in the conviction that the experience of this Sunbelt city—center of the nation’s fifth-largest metropolitan area—offers new insight into today’s most pressing urban and suburban issues, the contributors to Charlotte, NC: The Global Evolution of a New South City ask what happens when the external forces of globalization combine with a city’s internal dynamics to reshape the local structures, landscapes, and identities of a southern place.
