I am Cameron Hand, a graduate from UGA’s Bachelors of Landscape Architecture program. I came into the University as an intended civil engineering major, but soon discovered landscape architecture which helped me to pursue my passions of ecological and historical preservation.

I also graduated from the University’s sustainability certificate program.

In my certificate capstone project, I combined my urban planning skills with principles of sustainability to create a plan to increase the resilience of Athens, GA. I enjoy studying history, especially how early civilizations adapted to and manipulated their environments. I believe that learning from these practices will be key in creating sustainable developments in the future. I love to travel and document my travels through photography, sketching, and journaling. I also like to play guitar, and even formed a small band for a charity music festival benefitting a local food bank. I am very active, and especially enjoy hiking, snowboarding, and playing golf.

15T The stormwater retention park allows current stormwater pipes to drain during high HS T tides, which usually back up the entire stormwater system. If a storm is anticipated, the gates can be closed at low tide. Then, when the tide comes in, the retention area remains dry to allow stormwater to drain into the basin. Without an impending storm, the tide is allowed to flow normally through the gates.

If there is heavy rain during high tide, a lift house will lift stormwater above the tide line. This lift station will use a vertical-axis wind turbine to provide supplementary electricity as well as a backup power source in case of power grid failure. The newly raised outfall will drain into a horizontal levee, which acts as a sea level rise defense that also filters stormwater runoff and allows for marsh migration. The raised roadway acts as a secondary, stronger flood defense.

MASTERPLAN

REDUCING + RAISING COASTLINE The proposed plan would reduce the length of coastline to be defended by over 50%. This minimizes the environmental and economic cost of creating a comprehensive levee system to protect the Island.

ST O RE RMW TE NT ATE IO R N

Stage one of the adaptation plan is designed to address current flooding problems in the bowl and protect that area from sea level rise. In addition it will provide data on the efficacy of different flood defense strategies. Based on the success of the horizontal levee and the stormwater retention in phase 1, further horizontal levees and stormwater retention basins can be prescribed for an island-wide adaptation plan.

While the implementation of stage one does not require any households to be disturbed, the same can not be said for the master plan. The waterfront properties on Miller Ave., Chatham Ave. and 6th St. are going to be directly impacted by the flood defense system, so it is crucial that homeowners are consulted. While the master plan shows prescribed defenses, Stakeholder meetings with coastal residents, along with data provided by stage one, should be used to determine the best course of action. There are three primary strategies in dealing with sea level rise: defend, adapt, and retreat. Guided by data and community input, Tybee Island should decide which strategies to implement on each section of coastline.

ADAPT: Raise houses and Road/ ROW to create levee (recommended for 6th street)

PRESERVING MARSH + WATERWAYS The rotating tide gates are inspired by the Thames River barrier and would leave the waterway’s flow completely unimpeded while open. This would preserve the complex ecology of the marsh and allow light watercrafts to continue to use the waterway. The gates will use smart technology to react in real time to the complex fluctuations in tide. The two major flood gates are strategically located at natural bottlenecks in the marsh, in order to protect the most vulnerable households with minimal marsh disturbance.

PROJECT SUMMARY a that is bounded by the flint river to its west. The city has had a history of flooding and in 1994 suffered a devastating flood that inundated most of the historic downtown area. The city has been ation is declining. The aim of this project is to attract tourist and future residents to Montezuma by creating a trail and green space network that provides access to the flint river along with several rail system also connects multiple event spaces that can be used for concerts and music festivals that could attract large crowds and encourage young people to move to Montezuma. As trail users 3 2 navigate the trail, they pass through several different habitats in two distinct ecoregions, exposing them to a wide variety of native animal and plant species.

JAILHOUSE PARK

Longleaf pine forests used to cover most of Georgia’s Coastal plain, but the ecosystem has been almost entirely eiliminated. Longleaf pines evoloved to coexist with fire, which they need to prevent other species from taking over their canopy. In recent history, humans have BEAVER CREEK suppresed fires and longleaf pinea along with them. This park uses Longleaf Pines, along with typical understory plants to create a beautiful and functional savanna. This park is located in downtown Montezuma, but in a position that will allow it to safely burned. The roads that surround the park create fire breaks that help in conducting controlled burns. The mowed pathways through the grassland also act as fire breaks and create unique walks leading to secluded seating areas surrounding specimen trees. The diverse mix of grasses and flowers will create a beautiful tapestry that will attract people and pollinators alike.

HAMPTONS HOUSE DESIGN STATEMENT This residential design aims to blend the formal and agrarian aspects of a Hamptons’ landscape, creating a series of unique and memorable experiences as one moves through the property. The design was implemented in the summer of 2023 This residence is located in Water Mill, New York, one of the several communities that make up The Hamptons on Long Island. This specific property backs up to a beautiful horse pasture, so the landscape is designed to frame this view and complement the agrarian context, along with the contemporaray rural architecture of the house.

DESIGN STATMENT: The primary goal of this high density, mixed use residential building is to mitigate environmental impact and the utilities costs for residents through sustainable design. The building uses green roofs and deciduous trees to reduce urban heat island effect along with solar panels for supplementary electricity. The majority of the green roof surface area is used for food production in the interest of supplying residents with cheap and/or free organic produce (based on yield and demand). The building has an extensive rainwater and grey water collection system which provides water for crop production. A large constructed wetland acts as a water-purifying buffer for the Oconee river while simultaneously creating an aesthetic, waterfront landscape, complete with restaurants and a functioning water wheel. The overall design of the property is an homage to the old mill building that houses the UGA school of social work. Red brick facades and a railroad trestle inspired bridge create a rustic feel, while modern rooftop amenities with river views create a unique and dualistic living experience.

ROOFSCAPE The roof of the building is dedicated to recreation. The elevated workout platform provides fantastic views and a natural breeze while exercising. Solar panel structures provide shade, energy and rainwater harvesting. The rain that falls on the panels is collected using gutters and stored in a cistern. This water can be used to irrigate the trees on the rooftop and terraces below. The naturalistic rooftop pool is designed to mimic the constructed wetland at the bottom of the building. The pool uses a wetland filter to reduce the need for harsh chemical treatments.

WETLAND The constructed wetland allows for a waterfront dining experience without disturbing the existing riparian buffer of The Oconee River. The wetland also helps to protect the river quality by naturally filtering water from the surrounding watershed. The patio area around the wetland provides a serene oasis for residents and members of the public. The area is sheltered from the busy roads that border the property, and the sound of traffic is replaced by sounds of flowing water and wildlife.

While my park emphasizes local, environmental concepts, my garden will focus on international, cultural aspects. My garden will be a prayer/meditation garden that works on uniting different cultures and religions through nature. The garden features 5 reflection ponds all fed by one central water source, each one representing one of the 5 major religions. The central water source surrounds a large tree that reflects nature’s connection to humanity and religion.

The Christian section of the garden is inspired by a traditional European Cathedral. These cathedrals were designed to mimic the old-growth forests that were sacred to the pre-Christian inhabitants of Europe. The cross-shaped reflecting pool is surrounded by large, heavily trimmed cedars that create a tall, dense canopy. In the clearing at the center of the garden, flowers with Christian symbolism are planted to imitate a traditional cloister garden.

This section of the garden is inspired by a traditional Japanese Zen garden. The raked sand of these gardens was used to imitate water, which the monks could not justify wasting. This garden uses water, like the gardens of the Song dynasty, instead of sand to create a dramatic vista. Behind the pagoda there is a secluded place for reflection underneath a tree. This tree is supposed to represent the bodhi tree which Buddha meditated under for several days. The winding path through the bamboo symbolizes Buddhas journey towards enlightenment.

DESIGN STATEMENT For this project, we were inspired by the flow and movement of the tide and the coastal ecology of southern Florida. The site provides an exciting experience as users move through a shady forest into an open landscape that uses organic, rolling topography to simulate the ocean. Our design allows users to interact closely with the mangroves without disturbing their crucial habitat by using a raised boardwalk. At its core, our project aims to provide a space for visitors to experience and learn about Florida’s beautiful habitats and ecosystems.

Our design is inspired by the diverse and beautiful marine habitats of southern Florida. Many of Florida’s aquatic species start their lives in sheltered mangrove forests, and slowly progress into coral reefs and deeper waters as they mature. Our site mimics this progression by surrounding visitors with dense vegetation as they enter the site. As users move east towards the river, the park opens into an undulating landscape of organic landforms, designed to mimic the waves of the ocean. These earthen waves provide flood defense, enclosure for the coral reef playground, and drama as one walks over or around them into a completely different landscape. The main wave slowly rises from the riverbank, creating a natural amphitheater surrounding an oyster-inspired stage. The other side of the wave “crashes” towards the playground and splash pad area, creating an enclosed play area full of colorful, coral-inspired structures for children to climb on. The second level creates a play area for younger children which includes a jungle gym based on the arching roots of the mangrove tree. This playground is closest to the café seating so that parents can sit and watch over their children.

The site has two primary pathways going around the exterior of the site, a wide, paved walkway, and a raised boardwalk. The paved walkway doubles as an emergency access and service road to create a safe, accessible site. The boardwalk provides users access to the kayak launch, the beach, and the pavilion. Users can walk this raised path for an immersive experience in the mangroves surrounding the site, without damaging their tree roots. There is also a system of secondary pathways that wind around and up the mounds, flowing up the grade and through the shade trees surrounding the path. These pathways culminate at the top of the site

MANGROVE PAVILION This raised pavilion, inspired by the roots of a mangrove tree, provides visitors with panoramic views of the coastal landscape. It is designed to make patrons feel as though they are moving through the root system of a giant mangrove tree, while simultaneously being surrounded by a canopy of real mangroves.

OYSTER STAGE This quick sketch demonstrates what an oysterinspired stage might look like. This stage serves as the focal point of the wave-like amphitheater.
