NATURE PLAYSPACE Joanna Pertz Landscape Design Manhattan, NY // 2023 Phase // Construction Admin.

The goal of the playground renovation was to replace the existing playground’s outdated and uninspired equipment and deteriorating safety surfacing with a dynamic and durable playground design that can be enjoyed for many years to come. Expanding the existing tree pits into continuous planting areas serves to protect and revitalize the health of the mature Honey Locusts and to frame the playground with a lush border of shrubs and groundcovers. The design of custom wood play structures atop a rhythmic patterning of safety tiles in natural palette offers a balance of active and imaginative play and rest. A signature castle tower play structure draws inspiration from the neighboring historic Armory with two turrets connected by a climbing bridge and a spiral slide. Beyond school hours, this enriching play space will be open to the children and caregivers of the larger community.

NYCHA TODT HILL Joanna Pertz Landscape Design Staten Island, NY // 2023 Proposal for NYCHA

JPLA’s Landscape Design approach to Todt Hill Houses was to tackle several issues within the site, protecting existing landscape features and recovering the energy and intention of the original site plan. H.I. Feldman, Architect of Todt Hill Houses said, “A building is not to be seen as a single entity but rather as part and parcel of the integrated community. Social, recreational, and community services will be given the fullest consideration for the complete and well-rounded scheme of living, work, and playing.” Our goals for the redesign are activating undifferentiated, homogeneous lawn spaces by creating a hierarchy of landscape uses and activity zones, reactivating main thoroughfare with understory plantings, creating an Allee of flowering ornamental trees and understory shrubs and perennials. In addition, our design hopes to create a unified common area for community gathering and recreation through updated benches, planting, and fences.

ROCKWOOD LANE RESIDENCE James Doyle Design Associates Greenwich, CT // 2021

This project aimed to completely redevelop the backyard of a recently built residence just outside of downtown Greenwich. The large pool and terrace areas had to be carefully interwoven within the existing ring of heritage trees that lined the property.

Making sure these trees were integrated within the design meant that the history of the property could speak to the new function. The lawn steps leading from the upper terrace to the pool further bring the greenery into the hardscape, breaking up the composition and refrencing the other planitings scattered throughout the slate pavers.

Alex Hadley Portfolio

One of the more interesting elements of this design is the serpentine fence that creates code safe pool enclosure without disrupting the careful balance of the rest of the design. In addition, the rear yard features a tranquil water garden defined by a provocative water feature that cuts clean lines through the gravel surface.

CARMEL HAMLET RESIDENCE James Doyle Design Associates Carmel Hamlet, NY // 2021

Designed for a world renowned biologist and chemical engineer, the ethos of this project was clean lines and landscaping choices that relfected the natural splendor of the surrounding environment. Each decision had to reflect a rationality and reverence for the natural features that dominated the existing terrain, such as intense slopes, enormous outcroppings of slate and ferns sourrounding the residence. Appeal to physical as well as visual sensations, a water feature cuts through the rear terrace and incorporates a dribbling fountain that cuts through a boulder found nearby.

Alex Hadley Portfolio

By working with the natural plant pallate that existed on the top of this hill overlooking Carmel Hamlet, this concept intends to blend seamlessly with the surrounding ecology. The client was interested in creating moments for nonhuman natures to exist in harmony with the human, meaning planting species for local animals and insects to eat. This act of giving back to the environment while you occupy gave the sensation of a more harmonious use of site.

LAKE LILLINONAH ESTATE James Doyle Design Associates Bridgewater, CT // 2021

This sprawling 133 acre property is being developed in 3 phases to create a fully self sufficent summer home for the client. By participating in the master planning phase as well as the design development of each individual section, a cohesive landscape language was able to be developed and eventually deployed. Special attention was paid to existing structures on site including hundreds of feet of historic dry laid stone walls that were created hundreds of years ago to separate farming pastures.

The main house is linear, and integrating it into the steep slope of the existing landscape required a considerable amount of walls and steps to cut into the grade

Alex Hadley Portfolio

at the appropriate moments. Coordinating these walls with meadow plantings and flagstone terracing took a delicate touch and required balancing hard and soft forms, merging chaotic plantings and natural features with rigid geometric walls that reflected the lines of the house. The main residence features a sunken basketball court, spacious parking area and three levels of terraces leading into a maze like meadow walk off the rear of the house. The second and third phases, a feild house with two tennis courts and a spacious guest house, are meaningfully integrated into the general plan, linked by footpaths and wandering walls that frame each view.

COMMERCIAL PROJECTS Jonathan Alderson Landscape Architects Junior Designer 2017-2019 Philadelphia, PA

Alex Hadley Portfolio

While working at JALA, I received a comprehensive introduction to site grading, water management, plant palettes, hardscape and drafting for construction. JALA put a major emphasis on sustainable landscape practices which has informed my design sensibilities considerably. I was mainly involved in drafting in AutoCAD, modeling in Rhino3D and Lumion, quantifying materials in Excel and site survey.

These projects were mainly for commercial clients, including hospital campuses, universities, residential complexes and universites.

FOREST LABORATORY Academic Coordinator for MAEBB 21-22 Final Thesis Prototype Parc de Collserola // Barcelona, ES

The Masters in Advanced Ecological Buildings and Biocities has consistently turned out some of the most stunning examples of building with local technologies in an advanced and forward thinking manner. As the academic coordinator for this project, I had the chance to lead 18 students in the design, fabrication and installation of the most ambitious thesis project at the program to date, measuring over 9 meters tall with bridge spans of over 12 meters. The aim of the project is to foster a new relationshop bewteen nature and human intervention, resulting in a new form of architecture that blends with its surrounding ecosystem rather than sticking out.

Alex Hadley Portfolio

The web netting that surrounds the main core acts as a camoflouge, and will eventually be home to a network of vines and creeping plants that will further hide its human inhabitants from the wildlife outside. Each element of this project was built on site by students, including 6 glue laminated beams measuring over a meter tall and 25 CLT panels manufactured from wood harvested less than 1 km away from the site. The drawings and diagrams shown here are primarily made by the students of MAEBB 21-22, with photos by Adria Guola, Jaume Cebolla, and Alex Hadley.

TERRATS OBERT OPEN TERRACE E.U. Grant Funding Proposal Technical Director // IAAC Valldaura Labs Barcelona, June 2022

Terrats Oberts offers an innovative solution to build a green, social and resilient infrastructure on the land of Barcelona. It proposes to create a modular system of urban elements for the production of energy, food, the promotion of biodiversity and social interaction, made with natural materials of local origin (wood), co-disseminated with the neighbors in a cooperative building with open-code instructions, which can be manufactured in a fab lab or manufacturing center, or can be ordered from a local supplier. The project also includes a digital platform that allows citizens to customize the revitalization of their land according to their needs and analyzing the insola-

tion and biodiversity potential of the neighborhood as well as creating a network of Open Land (OT) of Barcelona to exchange products and experiences.

A prototype of a roof will be built in the cooperative housing building in the Cirerers municipal area, in Roquetes (Nou Barris) from a participatory process of co-dissemination with residents, architects and promoters of the Cirerers cooperative housing project. Ten modules will be created (Food garden, Pollinator garden, Tree nursery, Tree nursery, Nest, Insect hotel, Table, Pavement, Chair, Solar pergola and Sports elements) adaptable to the needs of any plot of land in the city.

Terrats Obert (Open Terrace) provides an innovative solution for building resilient green infrastructure in the rooftops of buildings in Barcelona. We propose a modular system of urban elements made from locally sourced materials, built with fab lab technology and open source instructions, intended to promote local agriculture, biodiversity, and social interaction. The project will also develop a digital platform that enables citizens to customize their rooftop or courtyard revitalization according to their needs and budget, allowing for flexibility and community engagement.

Alex Hadley Portfolio

The goal is to create a new catalog of adaptable urban infrastructure to enhance community based networks of self-sufficiency within the city, providing local produce, a habitat for insects and birds, and producing local renewable energy. A series of 10 modules (Food Garden, Pollinator Garden, Tree Bed, Vertical Garden, Insect Hotel, Bee Hive, Pathway, Bench, Solar Pergola and Sport Surface) will be developed to adapt to the needs of any roof in the city, depending on programmatic needs and budget. By providing plans and design generators on an open source platform, citizens will be empowered to take part in the construction and installation of a new wave of green infrastructure, creating resilient urban networks of local food and energy production in preparation for incoming climate disruptions and contributing to a sense of social and territorial cohesion.

TO will create community based networks combining food and energy production within the rooftops of already existing buildings, allowing citizens to participate in the construction of a multiuse space that produces solar energy. By taking advantage of the underutilized space in the city, building social cohesion and stimulating the local economy in the process, TO will build networks of energy independence and resilience in a flexible, community driven way.

TREESCAPE Forest Playground Organic Digital Fabrication Studio MAEBB 20’ // Barcelona, Spain Fall 2019

The process of building this playground began with identifying optimal trees with enough curves and bends to create an interesting playspace. Students then began to meticulously document the selected trees with photogrammetry, creating a 3D library of uncut trees with which to model and create with. After the trees were cut and de-barked, another round of photos provided a highly accurate model with which to make construction documents.

Using the 3D Rhino models from the photogrammetry process, we created a series of joints to attach the tree limbs and fasten ropes and nets. Using a crane, we lowered the trees into 1 meter deep gravel foundations. Joints were drilled and fasteners were attached using metallic connections to ensure total security and safety for all ages. While the playspace is intended for children, it has become a meeting spot for groups of bikers and hikers as well.

DIGITAL PHOTOGRAMMETRY

After harvesting, each tree was stood up and photographed hundreds of times at a high resolution and from as many angles as possible. Each image was oriented and assembled into a three dimensional point cloud using photogrammetry. The final output was simplified in Rhino and converted into a mesh surface. Each tree could then be moved and rearranged in the digital realm before making any final decisions on site.

the 1990s, mass timber has rapidly risen to prominence through its reputation as a naturally regenerating, globally abundant and incredibly versatile alternative to carbon-intensive steel and concrete construction. Despite its sudden cancellation, the massive $1.3 billion Quayside project choosing to flaunt its mass timber investment so prominently is a telling sign indicating the upward trend in wood construction.

Quayside, also known as Sidewalk Toronto, was a techno-utopian city planning initiative developed by Google’s urban innovation startup Sidewalk Labs. They planned to redevelop the Toronto waterfront with sleek skyscrapers and autonomous vehicles, but quickly and consistently drew the ire of those who rightfully viewed it as an encroachment of highly funded private interests

Once a strictly European endeavor, mass timber has arrived with a bang in North America. Advocates argue that mass timber emits less carbon than steel and concrete during the construction process, and stores sequestered carbon that would otherwise be released back into the atmosphere if the trees decayed naturally in the forest. In other words, by removing mature trees from the forest and planting new seedlings, the carbon-absorbing process of the forest growing cycle could be harnessed to reduce

‘green’ architects by bemoaning the idea that sustainability has to be a painful moral obligation or a question of accepting an increasingly lower standard of living. Instead, being sustainable should be thought of as a design challenge aimed at actually improving our environment and living conditions. Many BIG projects feature this radical architectural vision while maintaining an emphasis on economic viability.

They can live exactly the way they want, or even better because the world and the city are designed in such a way that they can actually do so.”

This provides a pretty accurate description of the ethos behind BIG’s recent projects. They embody a utopian spirit that says we can preserve our level of comfort and address the crisis of climate change at the same time through the power of innovative design.
