Hana Ketterer Landscape Architecture | Selected Works University of Oregon MLA 2018-2021

Hana Ketterer recently graduated with her Master’s in Landscape Architecture from the University of Oregon. Her bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science and position as a studio assistant at Three Pines Art Studio and Gallery sculpted a path to Landscape Architecture through science and art. The landscape she was surrounded with as a child in Northern Michigan only enhanced her love for the outdoors and passion for natural systems and design. Through her MLA degree, Hana has developed a passion for public space design in the urban environment, working across scales to bring ecological systems into cities while celebrating the unscripted social interactions that shape our communities.

From Dividing to Connecting

The meshing of ecological functions and inclusive resources in public space design Eugene, OR Master’s Research Project, April 2020 - June 2021 This research project develops design strategies for landscape architects, planners, city officials, and public space designers that improve the provision of public space resources. Productive public landscapes that combine ecosystem services with inclusive community resources have potential to create more socially and ecologically resilient cities.

Landscape architects have a major role in shaping how public spaces integrate these networks. With so many people facing precarity, I propose that a reassessment of what public space can provide for human and non-human users of a city.

Research question: What strategies can landscape architects implement to provide inclusive resources through local urban ecologies in public space design?

The primary method of inquiry for this project was research through design. A literature review defined concepts within urban ecology and public space design.

These concepts led to the development of three design strategies that were applied to a network of site designs along Amazon Creek in Eugene, Oregon through speculative design. The design strategies I propose include 1) building urban food forests as novel ecosystems, 2) re-imagining urban waterways as a social and ecological artery, and 3) developing a cadence of amenities.

Using these design strategies, I developed a network of productive urban public spaces along Amazon Creek in Eugene, Oregon. Reframing Amazon Creek as a social and ecological artery of the city allows for human and non-human users to gain tangible resources such as food or habitat to support social infrastructure and ecological function.

The production of food is celebrated through public space and harvesting as a communal activity. A large food forest and public orchard is proposed with open harvest. There is an onsite caretaker that oversees maintenance operations and coordinates with community organizations that will provide programming and volunteer hours through harvesting and maintenance.

The third site is centered around sharing and lays the foundation for a distribution system, moving the fresh food produced to the residents and people experiencing homelessness in the community. There are two large overhead structures to host organized or pop-up markets selling and distributing the harvest yields. Adjacent to the structures is a community park to allow for market spillover and to provide open green space for un-programmed interactions and gathering.

Industrial R.o.W

Central Eastside of Green Loop Portland, OR Fall Studio 2020, 10 weeks Based in Portland, OR this studio focused on designing post-pandemic open space in the urban core while responding to the Green New Deal along Portland’s proposed Green Loop. My focus was on bringing green and gathering space into the right of way with Central Eastside’s increasing density. Site analysis and overall concept was developed as a group with individual design developments following. All graphics produced by Hana unless otherwise noted.

Portland’s Central Eastside is defined by its industrial roots that have developed the urban character it exemplifies today. The neighborhood is populated by a variety of businesses including light industrial manufactures, restaurants, artist studios as well as an increasing residential density.

Our site is 6th Ave which is characterized by numerous garage doors and an immense amount of impervious surface. There is a complete lack of open green space in the Central Eastside neighborhood.

Our goal is to celebrate and honor the district’s industrial roots, promote a vibrant neighborhood that strengthens the health and well-being of the community, and express the creativity and vitality of the Central Eastside’s diverse businesses.

To encourage species diversity and migration corridors, a portion of 6th Ave introduces berms, a bioswale, and a mini park within the right-of-way. This mini-park can not only help mitigate the effects of urban heat island, but also provide space for people to gather.

6th Ave is converted into a one-way, south-bound, to allow for more space in the R.O.W. for design interventions that support local businesses and residents. Both Phase 1 and 2 close 6th Ave to south bound car traffic between SE Washington St and SE Morrison St, to allow for green interventions in the R.O.W.

Site Lines

Reconnecting the people of North Bend with the water North Bend, OR Winter Studio 2020, 10 weeks Located in North Bend, OR, Site Lines takes an existing industrial waste site and transforms it into a community park that invites water in. The concept of push and pull was developed first through operational models and further through drawings. North Bend is located on the southern coast of Oregon in the Coos Bay Channel. North Bend has a rich history in the industries of logging, shipbuilding, fishing and many others. The site is located on the northern most point of the North Bend peninsula, shown in the yellow box.

Through continuous dredging, the North Point is made up of what used to be the channel floor, a physical ode to the site’s history. The image to the right collages the industry that affected and continues to affect the channel through historical events and present-day conditions of materials and textures that still provide insight to the industrial past.

The push and pull of the water through short term tidal changes and long-term sea-level rise is a crucial pattern to the North Point of North Bend, OR. Site Lines invites water in and people out in a push and pull motion through program and circulation.

The geometry and program work inversely of each other; while geometry goes from large to small, program goes from narrow to broad.

Synthetic Landscapes

School of Music and Dance Vegetated Roof Eugene, OR Winter Technical Class 2020, 4 weeks Synthetic Landscapes was a class devoted to the design development of a vegetated roof on structure on the University of Oregon Campus.

The technical class focused first on developing a schematic design and second on the production of construction documents for our proposed roof design on the School of Music and Dance building.

Overlook Field School Difficult Landscapes

Waverly, PA Summer Field School 2019, 4 weeks Overlook Field School is a program located in Waverly, PA at the Fuller Center for Productive Landscapes. The field school consisted of site analysis exploration through hand media and design through site-based installations. Over the course of a month, I was immersed in a “difficult landscape” and designed an instrument to better understand the site and its impactors.

The Detritus Catchment is an instrument used to track and record the debris quantities that come from varying ecosystems of the Overlook property. The debris piles bring all the different managed landscapes together in a unique way. Using seven glass tubes to represent each site, this instrument looks at how these sites are connected through waste.

When a load of debris is brought to the piles from a particular site, the tube is filled with one scoop of sand. When the piles are burned one scoop of ash is added to the tube. The process of recording how much debris accumulates from different sites around the property can provide insight into where these materials come from and as a result end up. It also shows the frequency of burnings and what parts of the property contribute to the recycling of energy and carbon through the burns and in turn, new plant life thriving in the debris.
