description
Portfolio of work completed during my time studying Urban Planning at the University of Cincinnati, 2006-2011. It is an overview of the major and most meaningful works I completed while pursing my Bachelors Degree in Urban Planning. It was used for my admission to the University of Cincinnati's Graduate Architecture program (mArch I), which I will be starting the fall of 2012. The digital copy, however, does not do the physical copy justice. The physical booklet was made and bound at home by me. The cover is blind embossed letterpressed paperboard and is bound by countersunk mechanical fasteners. It is 20 pages, 8.5" X 11"

The restorative landscape I proposed for Union Terminal represents my multifaceted and comprehensive approach to design.
The scheme not only passively captures and cleans runoff, but also teaches visitors about the site’s history, natural drainage patterns, and passive bioremediation; all while incorporating additional parking space for guests.

My thesis investigated passive site interventions to remediate the heavily contaminated Indiana Army Ammunition Plant.
In my design, the derelict site of INAAP is transformed into a post industrial landscape, which celebrate’s the site’s industrial heritage while passively cleansing the site’s soil and runoff, which ultimately goes into the Ohio River.

HOW IT WORKS:
Water drains off the site and into the digester system
The stormwater then is absorbed by the filter layer soil
Any remaining water unabsorbed by the plants drains away into the draining layer
The unabsorbed water is then recirculated back into the digester system where it canbe reabsorbed elsewhere within the system.
2.The contaminated stormwater is then absorbed by the cleansing plants rootswhere it is then metabolized, while the contaminants are removed in the process

Shown in the site plan is the main feature of my intervention: the stormwater digester, which sequesters all of the site’s heavily contaminated runoff, passively cleaning it with phytoremediation, where it then eventually drains into the Ohio River.
Miles downstream lies Lousiville Kentucky which my plan incorporates by providing unique and dynamic recreation opportunities for residents.

For nearly a decade I have spent my free time photographing abandoned architectural relics all across the rustbelt.
In these photographic works, I attempt to highlight the intense beauty that arises from desolation and neglect. Additionally, the photographs serve as personal record of the unique and fleeting spaces that nobody chose to remember in the first place.

PERSONAL WORK
In recent years, I have switched totally from digital to film capture--capturing the essence of two vanishing forms simultaineously.
For this, I use a traditional 4x5 inch technical view camera, which permits me to adjust perspective and depth of field independent of eachother. Truly this is a labor of love, often I have to hike to locations carrying my 40 pound outfit.

To work through complex design problems, or really any problem I encounter, sketching helps me get the idea out of my head and into a differing context--the page.
This contextual disconnection helps me by allowing me to see the problem from a new perspective. Sketching is also a fantastic way to quickly explore new concepts or ideas.

In the spring of 2010, while working at the Niehoff Urban Studio I produced a GIS analysis of food desert conditions prevalent in the city of Cincinnati for the Center for Closing the Health Gap and the neighborhood of Bond Hill.
The mapswere made in response to the abrupt closing of the Bond Hill Kroger store weeks prior.

Poverty & Food Desert MapCincinnati Food Access Analysis
2010
In studying food accessibility, the primary distinguishing factor between food security and insecurity, next to walkability, is access to a vehicle*. Areas with high vehicular access rates typically are high-income areas, with excellent food access and healthy citizens. However, areas with low access to vehicles exhibit food insecurity and disproportionate public health problems*. Food deserts and food insecurity are major problems in cities like Cincinnati, and much of the problem stems from how people get to and from the grocery store.
In this map distances of 2 miles, 1/2 mile, and 1/4 were plotted showing the linear-distance relationship. The 1/4 and 1/2 mile distances are representative of 5 and 10 minute walking distances. The 2 mile circles represent Kroger’s established “service area” ring. Stores outside of the City of Cincinnati are represented in orange 2 mile circles. The Walnut Hills Kroger location is considered endangered and is ghosted to illustrate the food desert that is appearing in the Walnut Hills, Avondale, Bond Hill, and Roselawn corridor * see references

PROFESSIONAL WORK
What makes this particular analysis unique is that the food desert areas were not based on linear distance alone.
By taking the street grid into consideration, a two-mile walk suddenly becomes much smaller.
This has an advantage over standard linear distance mapping because it takes the actual form of the built environment into consideration.
FOOD DESERTGIS ANALYSIS
In studying food accessibility, the primary distinguishing factor between food security and insecurity, next to walkability, is access to a vehicle*. Areas with high vehicular access rates typically are high-income areas, with excellent food access and healthy citizens. However, areas with low access to vehicles exhibit food insecurity and disproportionate public health problems*. Food deserts and food insecurity are major problems in cities like Cincinnati, and much of the problem stems from how people get to and from the grocery store.
Data was compiled from the 2000 US Census related to vehicular access per household, population, and income. A database of supermarkets within the City of Cincinnati was then created and plotted in GIS to determine any existing geo-physical relationships. From there, street centerlines were plotted and modeled using Network Analyst. Around each grocery store is a 5, 10, and 15 minute walking distance* modeled with the street network taken into account, rather than simple linear distance.* see references

Povery data was compiled using the 2000 Census, then plotted in GIS to show any exhisting relationship with food access and income. The 5, 10, and 15 minute walking distances were plotted in ArcGIS with Network Analyst and are not simple circular overlays representing linear walking distance. They are, however, the walking distance defined by street patterns and are a more accurate representation of pedestrian access.

Folding Chair RackFor the Niehoff Studio2010

PROFESSIONAL WORK
While working at the Niehoff Studio I was asked to design and build a moveable cart that could accommodate 70 or more folding chairs.
The chair cart is built entirely out of recycled components found within the studio. The majority of the cart is made of repurposed extruded aluminum window frame members, and was assembled with mechanical fasteners and simple tools.

Folding Chair RackFor the Niehoff Studio
2010
In addition to being totally
constructed out of repurposed
materials, the Nisse Folding Chair Rack is
highly maneuverable----
it was required to fit through all the
doors in the studio, as well as
the elevator.
The only materials that had to be sourced from
outside the studio were the casters and mechanical
fasteners that hold it all together.
Fully loaded, the cart can
accommodate over 70 folding
chairs, which equates to nearly
600 pounds of weight that the structure had to
support.
