    COASTAL WETLAND LOSS & GAIN

  • 7New Orleans has issues: dying ecology, poor drainage, disconnected public space, unsafe neighborhoods, and an isolated tourist economy. New Orleans and the Iberville neighborhood are in need of new connections at various scales. The design reestablishes the street grid and creates an urban park across the post-industrial Lafitte Corridor. The new park draws people with active program while working to manage stormwater drainage and introduce Louisianian ecology. Four large connections across the corridor embrace the vitality of the French Quarter and community of Treme to create distinct urban conditions emphasizing history, remembrance, food, and play.

    Stormwater City directly addresses the need for better stormwater management on multiple levels by filtering, absorbing, and collecting rainfall instead of contributing to Philadelphias overburdened sewer system. Responding to existing CSO outfalls and the post-industrial relics of the site, blue and green piers of open space extend from the river into the site. These wetland, park, and aquaculture piers provide the framework from which a new urban waterfront district is formed. The proposal utilizes a history of food production to strengthen the areas identity and transform NE Philadelphia into a place with a new industrial future and better social interaction.

    Situated in NE Philadelphia along the industrial edge of the Delaware River adjacent to the working class neighborhood of Tacony, this project aims to transform a flat, derelict site into a viable public park. The phasing process first seeds the edges and establishes the various maintained zones allowing for the non-maintained spaces to fill in the rest of the large park. Building on the growing interest in community gardens as cultural stimulus and tying into the greater Fairmount Park system, this park provides unique adjacent conditions in which wild spaces and structured orchards, gardens, farms, and plazas can interact.

    SURVEY SECTIONS

  • 41

    This studio focused on the process of traversing the landscape to create a site record utilizing hand-drawing, photography, and digital media. My design explored the similar yet disparate forms of plateau and platform. Drawing off conditions found in the intimacy of the forest and the movement of the highway, the dialectic manifested in an exploration into path and plaza, movement and repose.

New landscapes are envisioned by imaging and imagining beyond a singular drawing or photograph, specifically, the blue city of Chefchaoen, the hills of Greece, Invisible Citys Argia with the mountains of Norway, and Zion National Parks orange canyons.

    In 1979, Portland, Oregon established the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB), a line around the city marking the divide between urban and suburban development and outlying farms, rivers, and forests. Over the past thirty years this boundary has continued to expand, raising the question: what good is a boundary that keeps changing? A city, like a tree, should not depend on a single line to define it. Instead, it should have an outer layer with mass, strength, and definition. The city edge no longer remains a line but becomes an area of opportunity to inform the public and activate the space. By transitioning from line to mass the UGB gains an identity and legibility.

    1858: A Douglas-fir seedling grows in Portland.

    1860: Portland nicknamed Stumptown after clearing a forest for city expansion.

    1890: The seedling develops into a sapling and grows rapidly.

    1910: The Hawthorne & Steel Bridges connect the city across Willamette River.

    1923: Surrounding trees crowd the fir as it competes for resources.

    1921: Portland creates the Cheny plan for streets, boulevards, and parks.

    1952: The now 90 tall tree has developed a heartwood resistant to decay.

    1968: The city redevelops the Willamette waterfront and downtown Portland.

    2011: The fir has reached maturity with 9 thick bark protecting the phloem and cambium.

    1979: Metro is created to manage urban growth.

    The 10 Lanes of Ellis Island inform the framework for the garden with ribbons of global food staples representing the promise of bounty in the United States. As the lanes progress they become ever more intertwined, indicative of the cultural fusion of immigrants. The story of immigration, however, is not entirely an elegant and sinuous merging. Thus, a rigid grid of shipping pallets confronts our system of intertwining lanes, providing structures and scaffolds that support interaction and growth. Ultimately, the grid and lanes work together in a continually diversifying system of plants and stacked spaces providing for a multicultural interchange of American experiences.

    NEW DOUBLE-HEIGHT GLASS FACADE

  • 67

    Located in Madrid, the challenge was to create an open space with a young, industrial design to reflect the brand image. The resulting project used a system of folding and reflected surfaces: the double-height glass facade, the blue glass partition and blue floor, the L-shaped display unit at the entry, and the mirrored surfaces wrapping the walls at the rear vestibules. I was responsible for all aspects of the project from communication with local architects and consultants to construction documents to punchlist. This project allowed me to develop my skill for detailing by working out custom details for specialty fixtures.

    Playing off the intimacy of the layered thresholds of the store, the installation of a looking device in the Shelly Steffee retail space explores our perception of vision, desire, commodification, and their relationships to fashion. As well as developing the concept and curating the images, I took part in constructing the device for display during the Meatpacking District Design 09 during New York Design Week.
