connecting the needs of an office and a home into
one space, residents can relax and work in the same
courtyard. inspired by the ‘new urbanism’ lifestyle,
with an emphasis on blending the two together in
nature; the goal was to bring the necessities of an
office and home outside.

Play Progression
Initial Phase:Game play lies mostly on ends along “water ways.” Somewhat low intensity.
Middle Phase:Game plays move beyond the Paths, spreading into the forest and native plant gar-den. The intensity picks up.
Final Phase:The lack of remaining team members forces those still in the game to face off in the center or along the sides. The intensity is high.

Field Formulation Explanations
Field Formulation Diagrams
This course is based upon a hexago-nal grid form. Like a gameboard, grids direct movement in a fair, interesting way.
Inspiration for the form came from the two surrounding waterways of Dud-ley Park: Oconee River (left) and Trail Creek (right).
The two waterways meet. The paths that form the course are essentially an overlap of the Oconee River and Trail Creek.
Basic diagram of the plan including di-agrams A, B, & C + ecological analysis of site.
Objectives (Goals):1. A unique Design which draws groups to use site -Structures look familiar (Granite walls, Rock piles, sinuous paths) but are represented with in a new look - The Site will stand to represent Dudley Park 2.To encourage fun, fair competition in the activity of Laser Tag. -Both teams are even at game start and have similar obstacles on game sides -Design provides multiple routes -Design provides interesting obstacles and muliple obstacle uses3.Design Laser Tag for large groups of all ages and ability levels. -Laser tag course and obstacles are considered for safety issues -Laser tag is programed for 32 people participating 4.To correagraph game play which encourages an exploration of site -Design which provides multiple route choies and looping corridors -Design which allows views across site -Game play progression which encourages movement between obstacles5.To convey that the site is connected to Dudley Park -To allow the recreation of Dudley Park to continue -To give a sense of connection to the North Oconee Greenway Trail and consideration as a wildlife corridor -To give a sense of connection to the Oconee River6. To give a purpose to site outside of the game of Laser tag. -Seat walls and rock piles provide seating -Obstacles in central field are moveable and allow large field activities to continue -Gazebo shelter provides picnic space

Coexistance of all entities:
My design process encompasses two intertwining parts: the linear (physical) process and the design philosophy. the difference between the two parts is that the linear process is learned in school and the design philosophy is innate. I decided to focus on the design philosophy aspect of my process be-cause it is more unique to me as a designer.
urban environment air quality humans
portfolio cover developmentMy design philosophy is based , essentially , on coexistance of all entities. I believe it is important to consider all beings, their needs, and how they interact with each other before designing; seeking the most sustainable solution to benefit all those involved.

Ms. LAR: I am inquiring about the landscape architect position for LAR. I heard about the position through a job posting board at my school, the University of Georgia. I am interested in this position because my ecological mentality of landscape design aligns with many of your projects. I believe that all beings deserve to live in good places that suit their needs. I care about enhancing life for all beings and pay close attention to detail when it comes to design. I also realize that in order for good design to be implemented, it needs to be readable for those interpreting it, and I enjoy the aesthetic aspect of the design process. I have experience in many fields pertaining to landscape architecture. I have completed courses in design, horticulture, anthropology, engineering, ceramics, and permaculture. All of these have contributed to my understanding of the coexistence of beings and has inspired me to seek creative solu-tions to design problems. I also have experience with CAD, photo shop, and in design; these tools have helped me to move quickly through the design process. I am able to think creatively and work well alone and with others. I enjoy interacting with other people; learning and understanding all the different ways people can think, and finding a way for all those involved in a project to find a solution. I am interested in working at LAR because I feel your studio has a way with bringing new light to forgotten ideas that have been ingrained in humans and the land for thousands of years. I believe these forgotten ideas are important and recreating these ideas is critical in the coexistence of the world today in the built environment. My interest in ecological design and permaculture have driven me to find creative, aesthet-ically pleasing solutions to urban problems. I feel that these capabilities would be beneficial to your studio because of the types of ecological projects you all do.
Sincerely,
Carley Rickles
