Soria City Mapping

Through meticulous measuring and documentation of Soria City, students and the GCCDS have built an archive of analytical maps that have proven useful for all participating in ongoing work in the neighborhood. Learning from site-specific challenges of smaller residential projects within the neighborhood context, while examining the neighborhood characteristics as a whole has led the GCCDS to help change an esoteric zoning ordinance. As a result, residential infill projects across the entire city are now able to bypass the strenuous variance process in order to logically site infill development, while maintaining the historical characteristics of existing neighborhoods.
