SELECTED WORKS

The farmer is said to be the world’s innovator. The ones who adapt to the environment and social surroundings in order to maintain their way of life with the most resiliency, efficiency, and best practices. In this case study of a 196 acre farm in Hamilton County, Indiana we examined the current conditions of the small farm to design for a better future in farming. Based off emerging technology such as self-driving tractors and drones.

While also returning to more passive practices of the past, such as crop rotation, agroforestry, the mortgage lot, and allowing livestock to roam and fertilize fields in an effort to reduce the use of harmful pesticides.

This case study focused on each individual system of a farm and how the system works together to create a fully functioning and efficient farm. A main focus of the study was to create multiple fields to allow for crop diversity in each species. As well as maintaining livestock and a large fish farm to fertilize and aerate the fields. The small farm is manned by machines and a family of 4 as well as seasonal workers to harvest the high maintenance fields. This study takes into account the environmental, social, and technological advances of the future and strives to provide a design guide for the best practices and efficiency of the small farm.

Located on the razed Finkl Steel Mill in Chicago, IL, this site was very complex to work with. This was a group project with most images worked on by each group member. Water was our lens of choice in this project.

With my partners Maria Esker and Jackie Carmona, we focused on removing the sheet pile walls at the river’s edge and opening up the shoreline. Three communities we considered were local breweries, school ecology programs, and bats. We strove to offer an all-around functional and educational park for the surrounding neighborhood. With a large berm to separate the existing Planned Manufacturing District and public park, the project showcases a ‘Wild River Walk’, rotating brewery area, and community workshop. Most importantly, we opened up the river to the public in order to allow interaction with the water. This project incorporates a bat wall design by Joyce Hwang, which was developed at the University of Buffalo in 2014. Presented are the results of team collaboration. Images are credited to the team member who completed the final vision.

Woodthorpe Ravine in Sheffield, UK is a large residential green space on the outskirts of the city. In this site we examined the surrounding area and assessed the needs of the community. We were charged with creating 3 plans at different scales. One overall master-plan for ecological design. One to provide a sustainable community environment. And the last, planting design for an entrance to a prospective theater. The theme for my design was to create dramatic contrast in the landscape through planting and topography. To mimic the large hills of Sheffield and help to make the surrounding community more sociable and comfortable with their surroundings.

Landscape design in the UK, while very similar to American design, is a bit different. In my courses at the University of Sheffield I found their method of design to be much more based on ecology and low maintenance sustainability. Relying heavily on planting design, especially with perennials and the importance of small scale pairings to create a dynamic planting overall. I found this method to be extremely interesting and helpful in creating a hybrid of small perennial plantings mixed with larger commercial sites.

Located in Guanacaste, Coast Rica the Hotel Zoetry Costa Elena is branded as “a sanctuary by the sea�. Their vision is to create a sustainable, authentic, and luxurious community. Aztec symbols and a theme of ruins was used to connect the Resort and guide guests to each destination. I worked closely with this project at EDSA. There was even an entire week dedicated to push this design. In which, I was able to help with design input of the main entrance courtyard. Through this process I partook in multiple design meetings. I was also able to help sketch and render samples until we finally reached the final design and rendered the large plan for submission. I also helped in putting together the final packaging to give to the client.

Located in beautiful Navyarit, Mexico. La Tranquila is a full service resort and spa. This project consisted of a full remodel of the resort including new event spaces, lobby terrace, family pool, beach bar and grill, specialty restaurant, gardens and more. The process began with diagrams analyzing existing conditions to a full illustrative master plan and sections complete with character images and material samples. I was fortunate enough to be on this project through the majority of this process. The sections shown here were hand drawn and rendered myself.

The Four Seasons located in Nevis, West Indies is one of the resorts I worked most closely on in my time at EDSA. I was a part of the design process from the demolition documents to the design details. I even had the opportunity to create the planting design for the spa entrance area under the guidance of one of my supervisors. All sections and construction details shown here were created myself. I also took part in helping to had render the plan and package all final documents to submit to the client.

Located in Coasta Rica, Penninsula Papagayo was an extremely interesting project to work on. The idea behind the design is to keep as many trees and native wildlife as possible to give the guests a feeling of being submersed in the rain forest; while still maintaining the luxury of a 5-star hotel. The challenge of this site was manipulating the topography trying to place the bungalows and guest amenities without disrupting the existing landscape. This project also presented some difficulties in its tight deadline. I was a part of the team of 3 hand rendering this plan for 2 days as it was the size of two tables. Complete with an entire set of details and sections to render as well.

Grant Park, located in Galena, IL, was commissioned by the Galena Foundation, who hired David Greibe as the lead landscape architect. I worked with David closely on this project. Located near historic US President Grant’s home, the non-profit organization wanted to open up the park for tourists and residents to enjoy. Phase 1 includes a 60’x30’ oval garden. The north end of a path leads to a large fountain, which will be phase 2. This project is currently being built.

My current project is located in Las Vegas, Nevada. The project is titled Flash Coding: Nocturnal Occupation of Flood Infrastructure. There are 167 basins in the Las Vegas water shed that are currently only being used 5 times per year for severe flash flooding. This landscape allows the occupation of Las Vegas flood infrastructure through a grid system of channels and electrical infrastructure guided by light. Allowing visitors to use the large untapped spaces as public parks.

While using the light as coding to warn users of flash floods and when to evacuate the space. This studio heavily uses ArcGIS and modeling as a mode of understanding the site and depicting its large scale.
