dan reeddesigner. planner. placemaker.

Have you ever been on a street and something just eels right? Itsexhilarating. The materials, the landscaping, the buildings, and theactivities in the buildings all come together to make a great space, andpeople naturally ollow.

To me, thats what urban design is about. Urban designers take all othe individual pieces that go into a place and arrange them into oneawesome experience.

Urban design doesnt exist in a silo. It requires an understanding oeverything rom building typologies to local politics. Thats where Icome in. I have an education in architecture and city planning, alongwith work experience in both design rms and local government. Ivedesigned at all scales, rom a CD cover to entire towns and Ive workedwith community groups, planners and developers.

Thats why Im looking or a position in an organization that is not onlycommitted to good design, but brings together people rom dierentbackgrounds and dierent disciplines to create places worth caringabout. Ater all, its people that make the place.

The projects shown in this portolio include examples o my academicand proessional design work, along with some volunteer projects Ivedone. They show the variety o experience I possess, along with thepassion I have or placemaking. I you like what you see, please contactme using the inormation below and I would be happy to tell you more.

As always, thank you or your consideration.

penn stationmixed-use district | baltimore, maryland

Penn Station is an island, cut o rom the city by railyards to the northand by the I-83 expressway to the south. Our proposal reconnects thestation to its surroundings by removing I-83, daylighting the river belowand making it a public amenity. In ront o Penn Station is a new plazaand amphitheatre or hosting existing events like Artscape, an annualree art estival. Behind the station is a new train shed and an intimate,pedestrian-scaled shopping district built over the railyards.
