The Delaware River Trail is a 5-mile long bike and pedestrian corridor along the Central Delaware River in Philadelphia. The project included portions of trail along the riverfront edge as well as along a multi-lane state highway. With a design team that included both engineers and landscape architects, I was involved with conceptual design of trail end and transition points, open space nodes and site amenities, as well as the design documentation and development of site details for all portions of the design.

Streetscape

Located in Media, PA, just West of Philadelphia, this streetscape improvement project provides the community with new green infrastructure and seating areas and site amenities right at the center of town. The project included a hardwood deck area with bar-height seating, followed by steps leading to a pair of "booth" seating spaces nestled into a continuous strip of dense native plantings.

The public plaza

In partnership with Ten Arquitectos and Two Trees Management Company, I was able to participate in Grain Collective's design of the new cultural plaza for the Brooklyn Accademy of Musich South Building, primarily with the creation of several perspective and plan drawings during different phases of the design approval process.

The rainyard

Rainyard is an educational and interactive installation at the Schuylkill Center in West Philadelphia. The aim of the project was to create a memorable hands-on learning experience about water infiltration, allowing kids to try pouring harvested rainwater onto different surfaces ranging from meadow grasses to asphalt. In addition to the installation, an educational booklet was also created with illustrations about the project and the importance of providing a place for water in our cities.

WHAT IS RAIN YARD? Designing spaces for people that are also kind to the landscape sometimes requires creativity and imagination. In the Sensory Garden behind the Schuylkill Center’s visitor center, we decided to ask artist Stacy Levy to create an artwork that would manage stormwater and protect our land.

Rain Yard aims to make water an integral part of the sensory experience. Without rain, nothing would grow. Rain Yard has a very specific practical function: it collects and distributes the rain that falls on the roof of a building at the Schuylkill Center. It also has a specific artistic function: it allows a visitor to observe rain water on its journey from the sky to the ground, and calls attention to the way that the ground is an essential part of the water cycle.

Rain Yard is located within the Sensory Garden, which features native plants with interesting colors, smells, and textures. Rain Yard aims to make water an integral part of the sensory experience. Without rain, nothing would grow.

Concept rendering

This environmental art installation uses sculptural metal poles resembling seed pods to create places for birds to perch. As the birds deposit their seed-laden droppings on the ground below, over time a landscape will appear created by the birds themselves, filled with their favorite seed-producing plants.

As an interdisciplinary firm, the engineers at RBA often reach out to the landscape architecture group for assistance with creating section renderings and explanatory graphics for use in proposals for large scale infrastructure and engineering projects throughout the city and states of New York and Pennsylvania.

The playground

A large portion of my work and design experience at the RBA Group has been the development of public parks and playgrounds in Philadelphia and New York City. Adding to experience from past play-oriented design experience, I have been responsible for developing and producing all the necessary materials from the conceptual sketches all the way down to the finished construction drawing sets, as well as cost estimation and construction support drawings.
