s time progresses our communities must deal with a new paradigm of integrated systems, as too should design. Whether termed “hybrid” or “performance oriented designs” the spaces, landscapes and objects of everyday life benefit by being constructed with a site, structure, and meaning systems approach. As such, I propose that the future of design doesn’t exist within the confines of isolated specialties, but lives where these fields intersect. Immersing myself within this overlap has been the goal of my work as a designer.

The diagram to the right illustrates a collection of work that has been completed while at The Pennsylvania State University. These works have been selected for their investigation into varied opportunities of design solutions. The graphic is arranged in a progression from arriving at Penn State to current day. Each project is then organized according to scale: small, medium, large, and extra-large. It is this consistent drive for a multiplicity of scales, typologies, and performative functions that I feel best embodies my work as a designer. While Landscape Architecture has undoubtably provided a driving current behind each of these projects, a desire to connect to other variables of design has determined its individual success.

ANACOSTIA WATERFRONT The Anacostia Riverfront provided an excellent example of a space in both ecological and communal disrepair. Once an industrial center, the now derelict brownfield site required a series of remediative systems to be integrated, as well as a clean face to foster diverse community relations. In order to jump-start ecological remediation of the site, storm water was gathered from new construction areas into a filtering central water feature. The water is used to provide fresh flushes to seeded wetlands along the riparian edge. The lack of relationship between this area of the waterfront and more favorable communities of the area can be attributed to the site’s lack of connective corridors. In seeking to provide easily accessible connections to the greater D.C. area, the design calls for the creation of a pedestrian bridge, as well as a series of confluence nodes. These nodes, such as the community agriculture and sculpture gardens, turn the waterfront into a destination to actively attract visitors. Combining these nodes with a multi-use downtown core, a pedestrian friendly environment, and a functioning treatment zone promises to bridge many of the gaps that dissuade the development of the Anacostia riverfront.

MUSEO ADRIANO Museo Adriano was a team submission for the Premio Piranesi Design Competition. Completed in the fall of 2009, the Piranesi is held annually between a series of European Universities in commemoration of the late Giovanni Battista Piranesi. Our team was composed of three architecture students and three landscape students. As leader for the landscape team, I designed and rendered the following imagery. Our submission “MAAAD,” was the amalgamation of a series of design facets: a physical museum, synthetic exhibition spaces, and identity and branded items. Museo Adriano acts as a connective tissue, linking the works of Emperor Hadrian between the Villa of Tivoli, and his works within the walls of Rome. The project accomplishes this task by focusing upon layers of historical design accretion, while drawing upon Hadrian’s desire for all things modern. Generating a contemporary museum functioning on the historic villa, traversing Rome via exhibitions, and throughout the world as a cultural emblem, Museo Adriano can be seen as a design for the future and the past.

TRASTEVERE [EVOLVE] The development of an urban square, or piazza, was the final step within the Landscape Architecture of the 2009 study abroad semester. This phase of design, intended to build on the previous research programs, requires a strong understanding of both the historical significance of a space, as well as, its current responsibility to the urban community, in effort to create a functional, and meaningful piazza. Living day to day in Trastevere granted me a discriminate understanding of the community differences between this working class environment and the palatial esteem of historic Rome. Ultimately, when designing a piazza for Trastevere, this proud mentality of the local people is what guided the concept of “Urban Resilience,� or the ability for the spirit of a place to remain timeless, regardless of change. As a key aspect of my design I sought to make people aware of the pride at the heart of Trastevere. Aside from creating a functional and retrospective open space for inhabitants, this principal manifested itself through the development of signage, logos and graphic elements. Ultimately the vernacular created through the resiliency of Trastevere was implemented along the transportation spine, and piazza connecting lower Trastevere to the historic center of Rome.

LOVE CANAL The love canal project was held within a collaborative studio between Penn State Landscape Architecture, and The University at Buffalo’s graduate Architecture program. Each team was asked to pose a design to not only respond as a memorial to of the event, but as an interpretive gateway for generations to come. “Perception of absence and the uncanny” was the concept which drove our team to create a powerful design for the site of Love Canal. Dividing the site down to the original areas of affected land, and programing the zones accordingly, we were able to communicate not only the past extent of the disaster, but the current chemical zoning as well. Within each of the flanking left and right zones, pathway elevations were manipulated to alter the visitor’s perception of interaction with the ground plane. Plantings were also carefully chosen to create a play between vast meadow and the tightly knit grid of the residual neighborhood. Ground zero rests between these zones, traversed by an elevated pedestrian bridge terminating on one end by the architects visitor center, and an interpretive assembly stairway on the other. Intermingled within these sites are trained “tortured” plant specimens providing living reminders of what lies at the root of the problem at Love Canal.

BUFFALO INFILL
Eme rson Pla ce
Buffalo Infill was conducted in connection with Groundworks Buffalo, as a means of generating a set of possible infill projects for Buffalo’s increasing vacant urban land parcels. Drop Out, Pinch Point, and Dip Set represent three projects seeking to exemplify conditions intrinsic to Buffalo’s vacant land parcels. Drop Out is a quick and dirty site installation, that utilizes laser cut tarps, as a means to deploy patterns across vacant land. This design speaks to the monotony of turf existing within the abandoned parcels. Aside from displaying varied degrees of ornate geometry, the tarps serve a temporal role by slowly killing off underlying vegetation to present a secondary pattern once stripped off site Pinch Point speaks to pocked patterns of proximity between vacant and occupied parcels. The chosen site sits pinched between owned and vacant land, and is stitched together by a green fence, which is within itself, a collection of expanding and contracting elements.

Dip Set is posed as a thoughtful means of harnessing the rainwater run off from these flattened sites. In utilizing deconstruction debris Dip Set creates topographic forms that both raise and dip into the ground plane. The negative space created through these manipulations result in weather responsive blooms of water, further expanding the environmental palette to include wetland species. Dip Set

METHANE ECOLOGIES Methane ecologies is the product of the three day “Working Hybrids ” workshop held at The Pennsylvania State University by Chris Reed and Jill Desimini of Stoss Landscape Urbanism, and Professor of Landscape Architecture, Timothy Baird. The scope of Working Hybrids aimed at revitalizing landscapes in a state of dis-use and decay as a result of dispersed settlement and abandoned urban structure. The goal of the workshop was to devise a framework strategy that emphasized a productive ecological environment that would additionally provide opportunity for social and cultural activity. Working as pairs with other Landscape Architecture students, each group had been delegated a specific “Hybrid Program. ” My pair was responsible for instituting a functional methane harvesting system for an adjacent landfill. Our solution, termed Methane ecologies, investigates both a park for urban tree growth, establishing a series of local micro climates powered by the secondary energy of methane refinement, as well as drawing on the local farming wastes to generate soil production as a viable by-product. The result of our inquiry was a productive landscape system. Functioning not only as a place for community integration, and sustainable practice awareness, but as a first look into productivity by means of natural site exhaust. Specifically, heat exchange to warm soil conditions of micro climates, as well as potent sources of soil production for use throughout the urban area.

URBAN ARBORICULTURE
URBAN ARBO
KEY PLAN
Over the past several years, the city of Philadelphia has worked to institute a series of “greening” programs. As a result of these plans, Fairmont Parks Authority has been granted $2.5 million to increase the canopy cover of the city to 30 percent by the year 2015. The Spring 2010 studio focused on the creation of supplemental urban nurseries to enable Fairmont Park’s goal.

Urban Arboriculture surfaces as a response to the demand for green goods and placemaking within the urban environment. Divided into two parts, charrette and intensive studio, the design focuses on tree production while retaining useful open space. The charrette space is designed as a terminus of the intensive production of the studio, as well as a laboratory for storm water remediation. The focus site utilizes a variety of contemporary design programs. All material from this site is contained in parametrically designed planting trays able to accommodate any specimen. In addition to tree growth, the core of the focus site is a constructed wetland, treating point source runoff from site context, as well as providing a growing medium for riparian species to be used throughout city “green” projects.

SURFACE ATTRACTOR
o
During the spring semester of 2010 I took on an additional studio as an independent study. I developed the prospectus from the ground up, to investigate the use of parametric modeling to generate surface and subsurface attractors and retardants. The goal of this designed surface would then be geared to working landscapes, specifically those in transition to viable parkland. As such, I limited the investigation to three variations on three modules: soil retention, hydrologic percolation, and nutrient transportation. Informed by a variety of interpreted data sets, the accretion of these modules would form a “custom fit� surface. After creating the scripts necessary to propagate the custom surface, phase two of the project sought to realize a design for the dewatering dredge landscapes within Philadelphia. As an ever expanding landmass, and an inevitable product of securing navigable waterways, the site provided ample space for a test design. The product of this design was a series of surfaces which assisted on the dewatering process of the dredge field, as well as biosolid transportation for nutrient enrichment. Ultimately the surface became both a function and aesthetic fixture within the design, artfully revealing and concealing itself amidst the landscape.
Surface design treatment and added subgrade material. After the subform intervention is in place, the design can be created around it. These areas designated as module reveals will add to the overall identity of the site, responding as both preformative and aesthetic design elements
Selected site shows varied degrees of impaired soils, compacted beyond the ability to dewater. Porosity module is then applied to soil with corresponding apeture sizes. Note* module sizes have been exagerated for diagraming purposes
Exported geospatial data from Arc Map GIS via PASDA to rhino. To interperate impaired soils data with the controls of the digital elevation model.

SPRING CREEK The Spring Creek regional analysis studio was the first opportunity to investigate the impact of both human and natural occurrences on a macro-scale. The course specifically examined how the impact of natural settlement ( i.e. geomorphology, glacial till, and ecological dynamics) and accelerated changes in human development gave rise to the canyon of today. The extensive research of this studio ultimately resulted in a thirty page document, charting the evolution of the canyon lands. It was only at the final stage of the project that a honed understanding of ecologic variables, stakeholders, and communities was used to develop a design focused on the management of site and a stainability sensitive solution. This project mirrors the layered functionality that shaped the valley, expressed programmatically as: conservation, education, and recreation.

JUMP BOX IDEAS COMPETITION Throughout the summer of 2009, I worked with assistant professor David Celento of the Pennsylvania State University Department of Architecture to create a package of informative graphic devices, and prototypical frameworks for a theoretical international design competition to be hosted by The Pennsylvania State University. The competition would seek to fuse together trends of sustainability, mobility, branding, manufacturing, and mass customization of modular housing units capable of being slotted into highrise structures, urban voids, or suburban backyards. *Images courtesy of The Pennsylvania State University School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture Sponsorship Brochure

POTOMAC PARK In response to the disaster cause by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, FEMA called upon Olin Studio to develop a series of subtle designs to raise the elevations of the National Mall flood boundaries. As a team participant on the Potomac park project, I aided in the design and creation of over a dozen models to be presented to FEMA, the National Parks Service, and the Army Core of Engineers.
