2021 ULI Hines Student Competition Honorable Mention: "The Combine" – University of Cincinnati
February 23, 2021
Entry Title: The Combine
Team Code: 2021-2599
School: University of Cincinnati
The Combine is designed as an agricultural suburban microcosm around three facets of urban development: community, sustainability, and economy. Drawing from the city’s agricultural/livestock roots, The Combine weaves through the robust CBD as a catalytic vision promoting local, urban agriculture to create zero-waste, self-sufficient LEED platinum certified development as a vision for the future. The iconic Gateway Towers add to the city skyline, enhancing the connection to all sides through Kemp Bridge and 9th Street Boulevard. These urban corridors stitch together diverse disciplines, both enhancing overall walkability and recreational capacity.
Jury Comments: The jury appreciated the integration of the agricultural theme throughout the entire proposal. They also recognized the design’s openness to the Paseo West neighborhood.
