european place design // cologne, germanyWith the redevelopment of the Cologne Green Belt in the process of masterplanning, this site design focuses on the adjacent corridor to the Grossmarkt Hall, a historical wholesale market for the city. The importance of a versatile and attractive space for this area is vital to the success of the green belt restoration. As the Grossmarkt Hall‘s program changes, the landscape surrounding must also reflect the development in the new city quarter. The design focuses on the historical aspects of the Grossmarkt floor plan and past rail line axes while incorporating new program to draw visitors from not only the new quarter, but the entire city. The creation of a new parcel of land dedicated to community gardens will provide much needed green activity for future inhabitants. Connecting the community garden aspect to the main plaza of the Grossmarkt Hall will be a farmers market occuring during the week, providing fresh, local foods as well as a lunchtime market for the community. When the Grossmarkt houses large crowds, the plaza acts as an overflow space as well as a formal entrance from Bonner Strasse. The goal of the design is to continue the greenbelt to the River Rhine and to act as a social, cultural, and economic hub for the city of Cologne.

participatory design // state college, paFor this design, the project worked with a 3rd grade class at Park Forest Elementary School to develop an outdoor classroom. Through design charettes, the design developed from ideas from students and teachers. The final package was a “how to” packet with construction and installation instructions as well as student involvement and cost estimate.

LArch 332Overall Planting ConceptConcept Statement

The concept of the overall design is to engage visitors in a variety of plant communities. Through various planting styles,

Looking into depth of 3 layers of the design system, an overlay schematic was created. Each of the 3 systems, when put together, creates the backbone to the design of the site. Plant communities, spatial sequence and human activities make up the basis behind the overall planting concept.

sequential order. As designed, the tree plaza will be a place of rest with many benches for seating and a canopy of trees. Vignette 1 (Tree Plaza) depicts a view through the tree canopy towards the entrance to the EES Building. The meadow will consist of a multi-tude of plants creating a mesmerizing scene of colors and scents. In Vignette 2, the path through the meadow is shown with the treed plaza in the background. Vignette 3 shows the small gather-ing space within the meadow with a small glimpse of the mixed bed in the background. The mixed bed will create an intimate space for visitors to sit down and enjoy many native plant species. Other general soft landscape areas will connect the space to the buildings as well as provide physical screening from the parking lot and strong winds. These plant communities create the volumetric spatial sequence. The idea in the planting communities is to create a layered system that allows for a variation of enclosures. The build-ings create the dominant mass within the courtyard, towering over the meadow, mixed bed, treed plaza, and other soft land-scape. The treed plaza and soft landscapes break up the sudden drop from building to ground plane to allow for a much softer edge to the building. The mixed bed creates a volumetric enclo-sure at intimate scale for those interested in a human scale space. Finally, the lowest amount of volume is created in the central meadow. Tall grasses create the enclosure, but the view to the surroundings is virtually unobstructed to the averaged size person. As for circulation and human activities in the space, there are a few major pathways as displayed. Seating along the walls around the edge of the meadow allow for quiet viewing overtop of the space. A major gathering area occurs in the treed plaza as can be seen in Vignette 1. A smaller, more intimate space within the meadow (vignette 3) also acts as a gathering/learning area within the space. The entry points to the space occur at the corners or edges of the site with the main travel moving diagonal-ly across the center of the site.

Illustrative Sketch PlanThe concept of this mixed bed is to create a planting design that �ows in and out of the building along a meandering path. The pattern of waves allows the planting bed to evoke movement along the sidewalk. A diverse array of �owering perennials and ornamental trees will create a wave as the blooming seasons evolve. As one plant nears the end of a bloom, the next �ower begins, mimicking a wave throughout the bed from spring to winter. The heights of the plants were also selected to create a physical wave in the form.

The image to the right displays the volume of the mixed planting bed is denoted in this simple diagram. The black represents the positive wave of volume through the space and the white represents the void of structure. The forms the wave like arrangement that creates a rhythm as a pedestrian moves along the path. Along with this the gray-scale mimics a wave of di�erent blooming seasons that will only enhance the idea of movement through the mixed bed.

This project was done during a study abroad trip in Tanzania. As a pair, we looked at food production and food security in the village of Kisawasawa. Modeling current population trends and sizes of croplands we made educated predictions of when the village would be out of productive land. With this, we looked at alternative methods of food production that increased efficiency and modeled that development with the current population growth. This project informs the village leaders of the implications in the future in regards to population growth and food security.

ecosystem study // baltimore, mdThis masterplan concept was proposed for a redevelopment of the Middle Branch in Baltimore. The project worked with collaborators from the Baltimore Ecosystem Study (BES). The focus of this design was to improve overall bay water health through restoration of oyster reefs. Oysters area native to this area. They are filter feeders and can filter 50 gallons of water a day. A restored oyster reef would decrease organic matter in the water and boost dissolved oxygen levels, leading to a healthy ecosystem. The project included a video presentation as well as a physical model, all presented to the collaborators at the end of the semester.

Through analysis of Sullivan County, myself and another partner looked at alternative economic growth outside of the natural gas industry that is dominating this region. Our idea was to put the natural beauty of the endless mountains on display through an eco-tourism destination. I compiled a GIS site suitability analysis to determine the best location within the county to place such a site. We then developed programs based on occurrence of resorts in the Poconos. From this, we created a master plan and renderings of what some of the activities might look like, all while analyzing food, energy, and water sustainability. Following completion of the project, we presented our idea at a town meeting in Sullivan County with good response from the community members.

community design // state college, paThis design was to take an existing strip mall where many of the storefronts had vacancies. Taking the amount of sure footage of utilized by the current visitors, and re-designing the space to develop high density housing. This team design was to have a focus on a sustainable, livable, walkable community for families and students to coexist within one space. Pedestrian pathways created access ways to surrounding bus stops and other foot traffic destinations. By re-zoning the site, we were able to restrict certain types of development in specific areas.

regional planning // spring creek watershed, pa

This regional planning compiled multiple layers of GIS mapping data to complete a suitability analysis of stormwater management practices. Each of the categories was rated at a 1-3 scale of concern to identify the most prioritized areas. After a full analysis of the watershed, specific areas were selected to focus a phased design approach to combat the stormwater issues.
