Students' study of downtown architecture led to poster
By CHRIS BARBER Staff Reporter
A study of downtown Lawrence is the basis for a poster to be presented to the Lawrence City Commission during tonight by a local business group.
A group of KU graduate students in the School of Architecture and Urban Design conducted the study for an architecture workshop course, with
the original intent of developing guidelines for future development downtown.
"As we got into it, we found that downtown was developed with very few guidelines, but it has still developed well," said Dean Palos. a city-county planner and one of the students.
of the students.
"It's this diversity that gives downtown its character," Palos said. Palos, Paul. Caviness. Michael
Wilde were the students who conducted the study. Caviness and Palos then took the idea of a poster to the Downtown Lawrence Association, which agreed to help. Palos said.
"It's basically just a visualization of what we tried to say in the report," he said.

DURING THE 7 p.m. commission meeting today at City Hall, the DLA will give the commission a copy of the poster, which shows how each block of Massachusetts Street would appear without signs, cars and trees. Pales said that response to the poster had been good.
Caviness said that one of the reasons the study was done was to show future downtown developers that there are definite patterns to Lawrence's downtown — patterns that can be followed.
"People who remodel shops often don't appreciate the environment they're building in," said Caviness.
"BASICALLY WE'VE FOUND that people who appreciate buildings treat them well, and those who don't put new covers or bad signs on them." Caviness said. "But this is usually from a lack of awareness of what constitutes good design, not an overriding commercial interest.
But Palas said that the study should also reassure Lawrence residents that their downtown doesn't have to be ruined by redevelopment.
"There are basic patterns to the
architecture of downtown, and redevelopment can fit in with them. Palos said.
Caviness saw the older architecture of Lawrence's downtown as one of its strong points.
"The downtown is pretty well preserved," Caviness said. "Town with suburban malls have tended to make downtown more like then. The difference has escaped it and preserved the character of downtown."
