OUR URBAN NEIGHBORS

Humanimal Design | Professor Sonia Brenner | Spring 2023

SYNOPSIS

Our Urban Neighbors is the effort to destigmatize urban critters like raccoons, opossums, and corvids, along with any other species capable of thriving in an urban environment. It acts as an installation that encourages a shared space between people and animals. The graphics below and on the right page were done by building the model in rhino, then exporting to Blender to get realistic lighting reference, then coloring digitally by hand in CLIP Studio Paint.

goals and programming

The goal was to design a safe environment for animals and children that can function as both a hands-on and handsoff experience. This site is located in front of an elementary school, where programming would be a vital part of the site. The programming was designed to project real world practices regarding animals and their safety, as you can walk within the boardwalk during the day for activities like beginner gardening, leaf binding, and making paints from berries, but during later parts of the day, children and adults alike are only allowed to observe any kind of wildlife that appears from within the boardwalk.

It’s made of wood so the rattling makes people’s presence known to the animals.

The roofing of the installation is slanted, directing water to fall onto the edges of the path, making the shrubbery more dense to give local wildlife more security in their safety.

Informational Graphic Example 2

Informational Graphic Example 1

designing the artwork

Another aspect of the site in terms of its educational value is to help educate those outside of the programming involved with educating them on the wildlife. On the outside edges of the site are walls with room for artworks. It’d be fun to allow for some to be for the kids to paint on but there is also room for helpful infographics. Designing these meant being able to convey the important of these creatures by showing their ecological niche in a way children can understand. I designed both on this page to evoke a kind of sympathy so that not only do children understand the role these critters play, but also to be considerate with regards to them sharing the same space. For example the top right features a raccoon as a janitor, showing that they pick up trash, but also the ripped bag and saddened expression on the raccoons face encourages kids to not litter, as raccoons cannot clean up everything. The section drawings to the left and drawings on this page were drawn with ink and by hand.

the oaks tell us stories

Humanimal Design | Professor Sonia Brenner | Spring 2023

synopsis

The Oaks Tell us Stories was inspired by the lack of a connection between people and nature here on the Cal Poly Pomona campus.

Around the College of Environmental Science there is a lone oak tree and I designed the trail to revolve around. The main idea was to use human constructs as a means of pathfinding, to show people that these places are meant to be explored. The constructs involved things like benches, seats, and tables, but also many different types of nesting boxes. The overly dense areas of nesting boxes serve to point those walking the trail to the right direction, while also potentially serving the local wildlife. Another layer of contructs are these tiny wooden men called “Pomacorns” that are made from various foliage debris like acorns and sticks that students can put together to tell a story on different parts of the trail. All of the constructs can be designed by students using trees victim to things like landfills.

Illustrative Plan 1

drawing the plans

These plan views to the left and above were also drawn digitally and by hand on CLIP Studio Paint.

They were inspired by Piet Oudolf ’s planting plans, allowing it to be more free form and focus more on the general idea of the plants in a space.

DRAWING THE SECTIONS

Illustrative Plan 2 Nesting boxes become more sparse outside of the trail

Section C-C

The sections on the right page and below are drawn digitally and completely by hand with the exception of a few textures. The planting boxes, trees, and people are all hand drawn and colored. I also used a tint to better synchronize the color palette as not all of the plant drawings I have made already have a cohesive color palette when put together. I think the tint should also help convey the atmosphere of the space based on the color palette.

Plant painting collection

The diagram below is a seasonal diagram feating all the plants and trees from this project. I have been building a personal collection of digitally painted trees to use in place of PNGs found online. For this project, there was also an emphasis on targeting invasive existing plants and trees and to the right are a Chinese Flame Tree and Eucalyptus which were the main invasive species. To the far bottom right is early conceptual art in combining the human constructs with natural elements to highlight and bring people towards them.

PIAZZA FOR A NEW GENERATION

A

Illustrative Plan 6” Gravel Over Soil Base

Italy Study Abroad | Professor Ray Senes | Fall 2023

synopsis

During my time studying abroad in Italy, my partner and I thought that the suburban outskirts of the town our residency was in, Castiglion Fiorentino, could use more designated community space. These streets also deviated from historically significant ways of life for more conventional, derivative landscapes and were losing their sense of community. We wanted to honor the history, culture, and context of the city by designing a newer piazza in theme with the progressiveness the city is seeing. We felt that historical piazzas could use greater biodiversity, especially when it came to trees.

Tuscany

The site is located outside of the walls of Castilgion Fiorentino (CF) in the Tuscan region of Italy. One of the challenges Tuscany faces is rising heat in the face of climate change. We focused on using native or introduced planting that had low water requirements and gave shade.

This site is also located across from a church that was being used as a community gathering space. We used some of the same trees and planting here to help form the connection between the site and the church.

Drawings

The two colored drawings on the left page were done first by hand and then scanned and colored digitally. On this page is a colored perspective of the space. This was done on paper with ink and then scanned and colored digitally.

RATTLESNAKE WAY

Woodcraft Rangers | Professor Anne Clark | Spring 2022

synopsis

Circulation Diagram

I also thought that the rattlesnake motif could have been further emphasized and since we had no budget, I used these large boulders to define small spaces for recreation but the boulders 2 were all segments of a huge snake and the “aha” moment would be when they reach the end of the trail and see the giant snake head. Below is the conceptual art done for the programming.

A

Woodcraft Rangers is a boy and girl scouts organization located in the San Jacinto Mountains. For this project I was assigned a portion of the trail and had to improve it and the trail was called the Rattlesnake Illustrative Site Diagram Trail but all it had was a small fake snake made of BU FLO G-CA some rocks. I had already decided the trail should be WE TCH R B ING ED intentionally spooky at night and added spaces for programming 3 during the day.

In my conceptual drawings I use color as the leading indicator for atmosphere. Below are examples1of using brighter colors to indicate a warmer, people led experience. On the right are two examples where people are not meant to be present as is part of the intended experience. Comparing those two with the one on the bottom left with the snake head using hot over cold colors to suggest a more complex people and nature relationship in this space.

ROOM TO LIVE

Tactical Urbanism Captstone Studio | Professor Natasha Harkison |Spring 2024

The Bundy Triangle in Sawtelle, California, is a historic park fenced off since the mid-90s due to a tragic incident involving a homeless man’s death. This project aims to bridge the gap between the unhoused and locals by transforming the park into an inclusive shared space. Inspired by a successful temporary installation in Seattle, the plan involves opening the fence and creating an outdoor “living room” to foster dialogue and community engagement. This living room concept addresses the constant threat of eviction faced by the unhoused, providing a peaceful gathering spot. The city will partner with harm prevention nonprofits to acquire used furniture and hire ambassadors to address individual needs. Over time, additional amenities like heating and refreshments will be added to enhance everyone’s quality of life. Furthermore, the project envisions repurposing Ohio Avenue into a small promenade for events like farmers markets and educational activities, expanding community involvement. By continually evolving based on feedback, the Bundy Triangle can become a safe and empathetic social space, challenging social stigmas and cultivate community cohesion.

Casting Shadows - Manipulate light fixtures to produce safe, private spaces at night using existing structures like trees and the fence to cast shadows inwards towards the triangle Privacy and Dignity - Homelessness can destroy an individuals dignity and self-esteem but by casting shadows to create places of privacy, they can feel more secure and less exposed, which can help significantly to improve their well-being and self-confidence Safety and Security - Statistics prove that the unhoused are a far more vulnerable population than a dangerous one. These areas serve as safe spaces where individuals can rest without the fear of being seen or disturbed, reducing the risk of harassment, theft, or other dangers of sleeping in public spaces

#> Location of perspectives on plan Closing Ohio - Closing the small street Southeast of Bundy Triangle opens opportunities for larger scale programming like cultural events, markets, performances, and other activities that can help build the community Pathing of the Triangle - By adding additional pathing to Bundy Triangle, we can improve circulation while also producing small green subspaces to encourage dialogue and social interactions Collaboration and Problem-Solving - Subspaces for dialogue also open opportunities for programming in the form of community workshops and discussions where all users of the space can provide feedback, as this is a pivotal part in determining the success of the project over time

GRAPHIC NOVEL HANDOUT

Accompanying the project was this small visual novel storyboarded and illustrated by myself. The story is greatly inspired

by John, one of the unhoused on site who manages his garden on the island to the northeast of Bundy Triangle. The novel speaks toward the main issue the unhoused faced that this project aims to help, being the constant threat of eviction and no lasting sense of place.

ADDITIONAL SKILLS GRAPHIC DESIGN

I enjoy participating in Call to Artists like Theodore Payne or from the city and from participating in these events, I have a few distinct artworks that explore different medias and techniques. I would also enjoy making any kind of graphic designs for office T-Shirts or events being held, as I often use it as a way to experiment and grow since I only use traditional methods in my personal artworks like hand-drawing and using exclusively ink.

Winning ASLA T-Shirt Design

Theodore Payne 2023 Native Plant Garden Tour that definitely did not win but I still love it anyway

Character Design

The character on the right was drawn as a rendering test for using gradient maps, where the layer mask is colored by value and then given a gradient map to assign color to the values. This process makes swapping color palettes instantaneous and simple as well as simplify the process of coloring by doing the shading separate from selecting a palette. Character design comes naturally and I enjoy using these figures to convey messages like the one I had made for a winning T-shirt design above for my school’s ASLA club shirt.
