coalescing the urban fabrics

B e ll ingha m , WA | B e l l ing ham Wat erfront Scan|D e sign Founda tion S t udio | 2022 Our (Re)worked waterfront patchwork is an integrated marine working district that is walkable and offers education, employment, sustainable industry, play space for families, as well as passive and active recreation in nature. Through our proposed urban design and planning interventions, we aim to use the existing fabric of the Central Waterfront Site to create a (Re)working Waterfront district for Bellingham. A district that is climate-focused, accessible, functional, and sustainable for humans and the more than human world.

(Re)working Waterfront redefines how a modern waterfront operates. This strategy employs three focus areas to work towards the future of a climate focused district. (Re)working Waterfront changes the roles and relationships between these seemingly siloed focus areas, through phasing, to achieve a waterfront where these parts are inseparable from another. The resulting patchwork becomes a district where marine industry, research, living, commercial activity, and recreation are all possible while reducing environmental impacts.

This was a group project in which there were two landscape architecture student, an architecture student, and one urban planning student. The site design programing was conceptualized as a group. The site design and connections to the waterfront and adjacent waterfront were a joint urban design effort between Bri Weekes, and myself. I drafted the site plan in AutoCAD and rendered the site plan with Photoshop. I created our site’s grading model and calculations in Rhino and Revit. Floating structures were designed and rendered by Kat Golladay. All renders and sections shown were created by myself using Enscape, Rhino, and Photoshop.

TEMPORALITY AND TRANSITION

This phase emphasizes regrading of the site to allow for remediation of the ASB pond and site contaminants. We’ll be dredging the ASB pond and remediating on site. During this time there we will be a transitioning of the maritime industry to an established core. The northern portion of this site will continue to house All American Marine and Bornstein Seafoods, and make room for new and evolving industries to phase in.

TRANSITIONING TO NEW

Tenants move into the maritime/marine core, already highly utilized and seen by the industry, making it a prime location for growth and adapting industries. The addition of mixed use buildings, and a pedestrian bridge connecting the two waterfront sites, brings public interest. The central area of the site continues remediation processes, which introduces opportunity for temporal activation of space. The addition of our Tech Hub brings students, researchers and industry workers to a unifying space that allows for incubation of ideas and growth in technologies.

NEW AND EVOLVING WATERFRONT

This phase envisions our site becoming a clean and desirable district, with housing and mixed use programming being added, as well as amenity spaces for residents and people of Bellingham. The addition of these spaces allows brings a neighborly and accessible environment to our district. This phase will introduce floating structures into the ASB pond that are adaptive and provide healthy habitat for the more than human world.

(RE)WORKED

Looking at the continued potential of this site, once remediation is completed and we see consistent positive impacts from our interventions, the ASB pond opens up. Just outside of the ASB pond is the areas largest eelgrass bed, critical habitat for salmon. Opening up the ASB pond will bring new life to the area and enhance research for those in the Tech Hub. With public docks, and direct connections to both residential and commercial areas we see our (Re)worked waterfront becoming a key Bellingham destination for industry workers, students, researcher, families, tourists and more. | 05 |

EVOLVING INDUSTRY

A designated industry core and creation of a Marine Tech Hub. This adapted built environment framework provides opportunity for new connections between various users, creating an eco-industry district

PEOPLE PLACES

Creating people places with various forms of housing, including townhomes, live/work, and mixed use. Providing public and semi-private amenities: greenhouse, bike kitchen, etc.

HEALTHY HABITAT

Remediating toxins on site and paving the way for new research technologies to continue and monitor. Creating healthy habitats through floating wetlands, expanded green spaces, etc. | 07 |

The ASB Trail provides a visual boundary for the ASB Pond, that will work as an immersive research site for users of the AS(HUB). The AS(HUB) is a space for students, marine researchers and industry workers to innovate and grow within their field.

As one moves through this residential core, they could bike through and by the bike kitchen, townhomes, pump tracks, container village, greenhouse, and mixed use spaces before hitting our bridge, or continuing on to the variety of ASB and AS(HUB) connections.

Potential to open the ASB Pond would allow for ecological growth. New bridge connections are made of light penetrating surfaces, providing ideal conditions for passing wildlife.

a maritime maker space, connecting residents to the waterfront

Se attl e, WA | Com m odore Way M a ritim e Future s Studio | 2021 This site was once a waterfront oil refinery, that is currently in the process of remediation. With the intent to sell the entire site to a developer, our studio broke up the space into seven (7) sites that would be part of a main campus. Our site was the southern most, and would be separated front he rest of the campus by a main road. Keeping this in mind we designed a space that could stand alone, but also seamlessly connect the surrounding commercial and residential areas to our campus. Our project could be the first thing you see when you approach the campus, or it could be the last place you visit when you are at the waterfront.

With views of the Salmon Bay Bridge, Salmon Bay, and the Ballard Locks, this waterfront location is a time capsule of maritime history in Seattle. It serves as a space for maritime makers and innovators, and a stepping stone that connects industry and recreation to the waterfront.

With a maker space, testing areas, and residency program, The Commodore Step creates a foundation for temporal projects that highlight the ongoing potential of the maritime industry.

This was a group project in which there were two landscape architecture student and one architecture student. The site design and building programing were conceptualized as a group. The site design and connections to the architecture and rest of the campus were designed by Cyrus Deloye and myself. I drafted the site plan in AutoCAD and rendered our group’s site model, created by Cyrus, in Enscape. Bryant Callahan was the lead designer for our residences and maker space, collaborating with Cyrus and me on integrating the architecture into the landscape.

recognition + participation = expansion

Se a ttl e, WA | South Park Wa ste Sy ste m s Stud io | 2022 Bite-Powered South Park is exploring the various possibilities of creating food waste into food opportunity. We believe that through recognition and participation it can lead to expansion of this system, all while improving everyday journeys.

By implementing a series of strong and recognizable interventions throughout the South Park neighborhood that educates the community on what the biodigestor is, how to get involved, and how this is benefiting South Park as whole; our pilot program will not only divert food waste but give South Park the opportunity to become a waste to resource community. Through our various design interventions South Park becomes a connected neighborhood powered by their own food, or their “bites.”

This was a group project in an advanced landscape architecture studio. The site design, design interventions, and programming were conceptualized as a group. I focused on determining and programming the sites, and creating the vignettes of our proposed “Hubs.” Rhys Coffee focused on research and development of the biodigestor program. Matt Olszewski focused on developing our toolkit and concept diagram.

APPROACH

PARTICIPATION

RECOGNITION

Being a participant can be shown on a community level and individual level; as a community the current contributors will be highlighted, as an individual you can be apart of the Bite Box program and interact with the tools found around town.

Recognizable elements, displayed throughout South Park, help grassroots community programs build recognition through an identifiable toolkit to spark curiosity and lead to further participation in the neighborhood.

EXPANSION As we continue to receive food waste and gain recognition, participation will increase and expansion would be necessary. More biodigestor sites, collection hubs, and contributors will be implemented into the process. These future connections will be key identifiers in creating a community brand for all of South Seattle.

COMMUNITY INPUT

DESIGNATED HUBS SOUTH PARK PLAZA

Food Celebration + Gathering Hub With similar programing already happening in this space, like El Mercadito, South Park Plaza becomes the main gathering space for the Pilot Program

DUWAMISH RIVER COMMUNITY HUB

Community Planning + Participation Hub Already a prominent component for community groups in South Park, the Duwamish River Community Hub is for contributors and participants to plan for the present and future of the program

FOOD LIFELINE

Demonstrational + Educational Hub The site of the biodigestor, Food Lifeline will bring in various groups to learn about the program from South Park contributor maps to an educational walk

CONNECTORS

Interventions include recognition tools, in which pedestrians can find as they move through South Park. They promote our program while also speaking a universal language to passersby.

Our design interventions include participation tools. South Park residents are able to learn about and contribute to the program. | 18 |

creating fluidity of people and place through activating trail space

Sa nta Cl a rita , CA | Sant a Clara River Se nior Ca pstone | 20 19 Santa Clarita if the third largest city in Los Angeles County and is home to the Santa Clara River; which is the last natural river in Southern California, at least in the lower watershed in Ventura County.

Although it is dry most of the year, the river “flows” right through the middle of the city. Do not be mistaken by the name and blue line shown on maps, this is not an actual body of water; do not come to Santa Clarita expecting to kayak down the river and through the city.

The Santa Clara River Trail runs along multiple parts of the river, certain parts of the trail are more developed than others, and the whole trail system in Santa Clarita lacks proper connections. The river is prone to flash flooding, which affects the trail and the people who currently use this space.

The design decisions made were based on research for the are of Canyon Country, within Santa Clarita. This part of town is lacking the most in connections to the river and the rest of Santa Clarita. These proposed designs tackle different spaces that would positively affect the people around them, focusing on educational, residential, and commercial areas.

With three different, carefully selected river-side sites, “flowing” looks at the river and its connections, or lack thereof, to the city of Santa Clarita. It addresses these issues, that can be found in the existing city trails, as well as the minimal amount of knowledge and attention the Santa Clara River receives.

Flowing creates connections and programs in areas that are in need of them. Looking at existing educational, residential, and commercial areas, “flowing” introduces site-specific connections and programs to activate connection between user and landscape.

RIO VISTA ELEMENTARY

Rio Vista has what its name implies, a river view. This elementary school sits alongside the river but has no access or connection to it. It is fenced off, and has a concrete buffer, protecting the school in the event of a flood. The river is used by a variety of animals as a wildlife corridor, and while there is a mountain view, the existing path is inaccessible to the public.

DISCOVERY PARK

Discovery Park is and underutilized park at the eastern portion of the Santa Clara River Trail. Although it is right along the Santa Clara River, there is not an accessible view of it. This blank canvas in the middle of a residential area could be used for the local community members to discover Santa Clarita by extending the trail to connect back to the western portion of the trail.

CANYON CENTER SHOPPING PLAZA

Canyon Center is the largest shopping center on the eastern side of Santa Clarita. The shopping center is divided

by Soledad Canyon Road and is a trail head for the Santa Clara River Trail and the Commuter Trail. This river-side trail is underutilized and has the potential for programing and extensions. | 22 |

re v i v i n g a n e i g h b o r h o o d ’s o n c e flourishing rose nursery

Por tol a , Sa n Fra ncisco | Universit y Mound Na tura l E nvironm e nts Foc us S t udio | 2017 University Mound is a small, fenced off area in Portola, San Francisco. It is known to locals as the Rose Factory, as this spot was once a thriving rose nursery.

Now abandoned by the family who once owned it, passers by often admire and think of what once was, and what could be.

It is an area with potential to create a space for the community to be proud of, and has potential for positive environmental impacts on the watershed it sits upon.

University Mound is a sought after site, with ideas of breweries and housing coming from developers. Locals worry about loss of history and character to their neighborhood. Locally Grown seeks to revive the site while maintaining its unique and vibrant roots, with a new community green space and opportunities for local economic growth.

| 25 |

With revived nurseries, community gardens and opportunities for local vendors to take part, the concept of having things locally grown comes to life. The local watershed is utilized for collection throughout the site; with detention ponds addressing flooding.

All aspects of the design, the biorentention planters, the sidewalk planting, and street facing planting will consist of natives. Facing residential and being in a mostly shaded area, natives that are shade tolerant are being considered. Also considering area and the creatures that we should anticipate also using the space I have included a gravel buffer for the street facing and what I have seen to be urine resistant plants on the sidewalk strip. Being from, and studying in Southern California, I wanted to explore more planting options that I am not so accustomed to.

The design cuts through some of the existing Prunus laurocerasus to create a private entrance that is colorful and wild, leading in to a patio space with loungers and container plants.

The south end of the residence includes a variety of shade tolerant northwest natives.

The deck wraps around the north side of the residence to give space for enjoying the morning sun. The deck looks out onto seeded meadow mix, giving seasonal variety and interest year-round.

Raised planters sit along the east side of the residence, where there is a small space to relax, screened by tall grasses and colorful perennials.

BrightView Design Group | Irvine, CA Design Int ernship | 2017 Summer of 2017 was spent working on a large variety of projects in Southern California.

The teams I worked with had focus areas of housing development and large scale public space. I helped with conceptual design phases and assisted their planting design specialist on a large housing community project, Skyline in Santa Clarita. I also contributed drawings and details for a golf course, and the design for a dog park and the conceptual phases for a portion of the Orange County Great Park.

public art competition Moonwalk | Bellingham, WA Pa per Whale Wat erfront Proposal | 2022 Within the (Re)working Waterfront site, this public art submission was inspired by our Scandinavian travels and experiences. Moonwalk is an interactive play structure and public art piece, focusing on the relationship between the tides and the moon. Its sculptural design provides both visual interest while bringing movement and enjoyment to the waterfront.

The design plays into a whimsical connection to natural systems, reminding us of the interconnected nature of local systems to planetary systems.

PROCESS

Moonwalk is Paper Whale selected finalist, and has been submitted to the Port of Bellingham for consideration.

sustainability initiatives Zero Was t e Kit | S an Luis Obispo, CA Environment al Design | 2019 Designed for a sustainable principles class, the intent of the project was to promote sustainable ideas and practices into our local community. My idea was to create a zero waste kit that could be personalized and very inexpensive. My group presented our ideas to a panel of stakeholders to potentially get this kit in the hands of Cal Poly students.

We proposed to sell a jar with a 3D printed utensil, reusable straw, and a “how to” guide for making the following items: - reusable and packable tote - reusable produce bag - reusable napkins
