AS A BUDDING DESIGNER, I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT ONE’S WORK IS VERY MUCH AN EXTENSION OF THEIR PERSONAL DEDICATIONS. IT IS MY HOPE THAT THE INFLUENCE OF MY ENDEAVORS OUTSIDE OF THE STUDIO WILL REFLECT IN MY WORK.

ALL WORK PRODUCED BY MATT LIMBACH UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED

STADTBRAUEREI PHILADELPHIA

LOCATED IN THE HISTORIC BREWERYTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD OF PHILADELPHIA, THIS PARK PROPOSAL IS PART COMMUNITY GARDEN, PART STROLL GARDEN, AND PART WORKING MUSEUM.

THE FIRST DESIGN MOVE INCORPORATES A SEIRES OFPROCESSIONAL PATHS, DIRECTED BY A NETWORK OF HOP (humulus lupulus) PLANTINGS, WHICH MAKE USE OF THE PLANT’S NATUARL HEIGHT AND INFRASTRUCTURE-LIKECULTIVATION PRACTICES.

THE SECOND DESIGN MOVE INVOLVES REPLACING LARGE SWATHS OF THE URBAN FOREST WITH RAILROADBALLAST IN ORDER TO PROMOTE THE GROWTH OF GRU-IT AND HONEY PLANTS. SUPPRESSED LANDSCAPE MEETS WITH UNTENDED LANDSCAPE UNDER THE NETTED MONO-LITHS OF A NEW KIND OF PERMACULTURE WRIT LARGE.

¤TOP: USING SYMBOLS, ICONOGRAPHY AND TRACE, THIS MAP SUPERIMPOSES A SECTION OF SOUTHEASTERN NEW JERSEY BEDROCK OVER A PLAN VIEW OF THE PINE BARRENS REGION.THE PLAN VIEW TRACES THE MOVEMENT OF NUMEROUS RIVERS AND CREEKS THROUGH INCREASINGLY IMPERMEABLE (DARKER) SILT AND CLAY SOILS, WHILE PINPOINTING LOCATIONS OF 18TH AND 19TH CENTURY BLAST FURNASES. SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE RIVERS AND CREEKS MIMIC THE MOVEMENT OF GROUND WATER UP THROUGH THE IRON-RICH LAYERS OF GLAUCONITE AND QUARTZ SAND BEDROCK.
