Abstract Details

2008, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Architecture (Master of).
Many cities have experienced the decline of certain inner-city neighborhoods. These areas have largely become ghettos for minority residents of the city, ethnic or racial enclaves. In Cincinnati, Ohio, like in many other American cities, the neighborhood of Over the Rhine has become one of these poor, African American ghettos. The problem with the neighborhood not only encompasses the social factors contributing to this decline, but the decaying of the architectural treasures found there. Over the Rhine is home to the largest collection of late nineteenth century Italianate architecture in the United States and current efforts have been made to restore these buildings to their once glorious state. This thesis examines ways of maintaining elements of the original architecture while adding contemporary additions, saving the original character of the buildings while providing them with a new image for the neighborhood.
