A true understanding of urbanism means acknowledging the paradoxical relationship that exists between established community and constant development. Originally, an approach to balancing the growing congestion of overpopulated suburbs, urbanization in many regional towns has become more of a trend than a means of necessity. Effects such as gentrification are changing the social make-up of communities and re-shaping regional design aesthetics. The new aesthetics seen in redeveloped communities are rooted in International and Postmodern design styles that are a stark contrast to the existing regional vernacular, creating a sense of territorial aesthetic autonomy. Preserving the past can only be accomplished through striving to counter the lack of place and identity of International and Postmodern styles, with an emphasis on modern tradition that is tied to the cultural and geographical context of a region (Framton, 2007). This ideology seeks to prevent a nationalist view of architectural style while attempting to mediate between the local and global languages of design. The focus of this research explores performative approaches to architectural regionalism in Tallahassee FL, and the extirpative effects that these practices have on the town's regional identity as it pertains to aesthetic. This study chose Levy Park in Tallahassee due to the visible effects of gentrification that are currently ongoing in the area. Levy Park is a neighborhood located in mid-town comprised of pre and post WWII houses that have a deep intrinsic connection to Florida's history. Characteristics such as urban amenities, artistic individuality, and charming vernacular style make this area highly desired, but major changes in development practices have occurred in the past ten years which threaten the neighborhoods authenticity. The data collection methods for this research will include a layered approach consisting of two phases. Phase one consists of a collection of demographic statistics and phase two includes a detailed cataloging of recent infill projects, historical and archival data of demolished and renovated structures, and local/ municipal city codes and policies that have affected the area. The research findings will identify the effects that performative practices in design have on determining and maintaining a regional identity in Tallahassee, FL. It will also look at the efficacy of current design trends pertaining to urban infill in the neighborhood of Levy Park. Further, it will provide smart growth solutions that promote a critical understanding of regionalism and celebrate the historic architectural styles that aid in maintaining a strong regional identity.
