The Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (MOCAD) is part of an economically expanding area of Detroit, and is in need of an upgrade to its facilities. The project goal was to envision not only a building addition, but also design for a possible acquisition of property adjacent to the existing building. MOCAD’s director emphasized a need to provide green space for the community, in addition to areas for outdoor programming.

Art display windows, larger signage, and more green space and seating are added to MOCAD to increase its presence on the corner of the busy Woodward Ave.

The entrance is relocated to Woodward Ave. to be closer to a new light rail stop and draw in more pedestrian traffic. The entrance has display windows to attract attention, outdoor seating for the existing cafe, bike parking and green spaces to sit while waiting to meet friends.

POLLINATOR GARDEN UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGANANN ARBOR, MIThe Dana Building is the home of the School of Natural Resources at the University of Michigan. The goal of this project was to create a low-maintenance pollinator garden at the rear entrance of the building using mainly native plants. Recognizing that this place is commonly used for relaxation and mental restoration by building occupants, the garden was designed to offer an area for quiet contemplation along with a more open, vibrant area to unwind while watching people, plants, and wildlife move in and through the area.

PLANTING DESIGN

LOOKING OUT FROM BENCHES1

The northern and sunnier end of the gardens offers a more social, vibrant restoration. The area has been closed off with Diablo Ninebark and Common Snowberry to make it more cozy, but offers views out to the sidewalk between tufts of Indian Grass. Plants with more vibrant colors, complex textures, movement and sounds are planted within sight of the benches to distract the mind from stressful thoughts and to offer an opportunity to get lost in nature.

On the shady-southern end of the garden, the area by the rocks is made more cozy and enclosed with Oakleaf Hydrangea and Hummingbird Summersweet. This area offers a place for private, inward contemplation amidst comforting plants with soft flowers and pleasant smells.

QUIET CONTEMPLATION AT THE ROCKS2

OUDOLF PLANTING DESIGN COTTONWOOD BARNDEXTER, MIThe design goal for this project was to create a Piet Oudolf style planting design which requires low maintenance, long-lasting and careful groupings of plants that will retain their basic shape over the course of time. My concept for this project was to design plantings at a wedding barn to serve as a gorgeous backdrop for wedding photos. The key to making great wedding photos is finding surroundings that enhance and emphasize the subject, avoiding plantings that are distracting and would take the focus off the couple getting married. I chose plant groups that each share the same characteristics: mostly subtle colors and soft and diffuse textures. The primary plant groups are divided by height, and alternated across the site to give it a fluid motion.

ANALYSIS

Cottonwood Barn is a wedding venue in the middle of farmland in Dexter. It has a lot of sunny open lawn area and a few small trees on site. Paved stairs, a pathway and some seating already provide great scenic locations for photographs to be taken, but the site could be improved with plantings.

GOALS• Create a beautiful floral

backdrop for wedding photos • Assemble a planting palette

using Piet Oudolf’s matrix planting approach for long lasting physical structure and low management after installation

• Make a garden that is attractive throughout all seasons

Plant groups are smaller in coverage near paved pathway edges where people will be up close to plants and can enjoy their variation. Looking across the larger area, down the road and through the middle of the site, beds are larger and give a greater rolling effect at a distance. A special planting surrounding the southernmost end of the pathway provides a taller mix of plants to frame the subject in a corridor-like pathway. Many of the plants were chosen for their seasonal longevity, which is important at a wedding venue that sees year-round customers. Glory of the Snow is scattered across the site to give color and beauty for even the earliest of spring weddings.

PROPOSED SITE DESIGN

The site design theme was inspired by the colorful beer labels that Bell’s Brewery puts on their beers. A large mound pathway winds through part of the site, inspired by the historic existence of the mound building people in Kalamazoo. The pathway takes visitors on a scenic tour of the site.

BREWERY REDESIGNBELL’S BREWERYKALAMAZOO, MIBell’s Brewery is situated on several acres of former agricultural land north of I-94, between downtown Kalamazoo and Galesburg. The goals of the brewery redesign were to reduce wastewater, revive native vegetation, educate visitors on beer production, create energy and to improve overall visitor and employee experiences.

Upper right: Near the front entrance, wildflowers line a seating area where visitors can relax while waiting for a tour

BIOSWALES

Upper left: In-between parking stalls and just off of the drive, bioswales filter rainwater and runoff

Lower left: A constructed wetland treats wastewater effluent from beer production, rendering it usable for irrigation purposes

Winter brings snow, and snow necessitates snowplows. The mobile planter is wheeled back into the right-of-way and rests there, out of the street through the winter.

Spring/Summer/Fall provide ample opportunity for talking with neighbors and selling produce and flowers grown at the house.

Mobile planters are 4ft wide (at the top) and 6ft long, contain huckleberry bushes, a fold-out shelf and are parked in the street during the warmer months. Why the street? Much like woonerfs, they are meant to slow down traffic in the neighborhood. The shelf provides space to sell food and talk to neighbors, with the added benefit of huckleberries in late July.

The map right shows fire risk by parcel.

Using land use GIS data from SmithGroupJJR, I calculated the risk of each land use type by dividing the percent of fires that occur in that occupancy annually by the percent of land that use takes up in Detroit. Riskiest land use types include vacant buildings and multi-family residences.

A fire risk of 1 indicates average risk. Under 1 is less than average risk, and over 1 is greater than average risk.

FUTURES OF FIRE RISKDETROIT, MIThe goal of this project was to investigate future scenarios and analyze potential landscape patterns using ArcGIS. I wanted to see how the closure of fire stations in Detroit and policies that incentivize residents moving into service areas would affect the number of people at the greatest risk of fire.

EIGHT FIRE STATIONS REMOVED EIGHT FIRE STATIONS REMOVED AND MOVE POP. INTO SERVICE AREAS

Each scenario was analyzed to determine the amount of people at greatest risk for fires and how condensing people and removing fire stations changes the amount of people at the greatest risk.

Conclusion: incentivizing residents in low-density neighborhoods without ideal service to move into areas with good service coverage decreased the

amount of residents at high fire risk by more than 58,000 people. Future landscape plans for Detroit could involve turning these low-density areas into forest preserve.

The goal of this project was to investigate future scenarios and analyze potential landscape patterns using ArcGIS. I wanted to see how the closure of fire stations in Detroit and policies that incentivize residents moving into service areas would affect the number of people at the greatest risk of fire.

MODEL OF FUTURE INSTALLATION

CONCEPTUAL DRAWING OF SITE WITH INSTALLATION

After visiting the site and holding colors up to the environment, we chose to use a bright red for its high contrast with the surrounding landscape.

LANDSCAPE INSTALLATION MATTHAEI BOTANIC GARDENANN ARBOR, MIThe goal of this group project was to create an experiential site installation in the University of Michigan’s Matthaei Botanical Gardens. We wanted to highlight and freeze the image of a natural process that would normally only last a few seconds, giving a chance for the viewer to contemplate the wonder of nature on a fall day.

Using red duct tape, steel wire, foam rings, and fishing line, we strove to illustrate the path that leaves take when they fall from trees and the resulting ripples in the stream.

SITE INSTALLATIONCONSTRUCTION

I contributed to the design, physical creation and installation of this project. Teammates: Pete Widin, Lumin Wang, Chen Lu

The project below involved creating a 40-scale model showing my redesign of Detroit’s Hart plaza. I created an interactive landscape called Art Plaza, a hands-on art museum that exists in both above- and below-ground areas of Hart Plaza. Below are images of the scale model I created for this project.

Skylights are installed to brighten Art Plaza and provide a view to the adventure area below.

Inside the museum are interactive exhibits where visitors can acquire building skills with oversized blocks while learning about Detroit’s rich architectural history (lower left), or learn to play songs on touch-sensitive walls while learning about Detroit’s music history (lower right).

PHOTOJOURNALISMVARIOUS LOCATIONSMy work as a photojournalist has helped me refine my ability to capture and compose the three-dimensional world into a still image. Much of what I have learned while making compelling images as a professional photographer has carried over into my design work as a landscape architect.
