LIVING HISTORY LA 4111L | FALL 2022

BOYLE HEIGHTS

Location: E Cesar E Chavez Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90033 As a tribute to a local entrepreneur, Olivia Chumacero, we aim to restore the lost history of medicinal and herbal plants in Boyle Heights. These plants were part of rituals, traditions, ceremonies, communities, and much more for many years. As an agricultural activist, Olivia ventures to spread knowledge through plant classes, a self-made blog, and public events.

SACRED GARDEN Inspired by Olivia Chumacero As designers, we strive to reconnect the community with their plant history. Hence the circles. A circle represents sacredness, wholeness, and community in Hispanic culture.

To honor the history of these sacred plants, we designed a unique space where people are surrounded by

centuries of remedies and traditions, we call it the Sacred Garden. The purpose is to be embraced by the plants, find shelter and comfort underneath their shade, be a part of nature. We want the community to gain perspective towards their ancestral landscape, revive the remedies, and to live among the history.

ISOLA

LA 3121L | SPRING 2022

Location: Niland Marina, Niland, CA 92257 What was once one of California’s main attractions has become deserted docking area occupied by abandoned buildings and sediments. Over the years, the Niland Marina water slowly evaporated, drying the docking area. Since then, different textures have been exposed to the public on the Niland Marina.

Everything has the potential to be beautiful. A deserted land can be transformed into a space wanted and desired by people. Welcome to Isola! A place for people to visit for various activities, whether it’s a festival, convention, etc. the site is not limited to certain events, but was made to hold various occasions. Isola is derived from the Spanish word meaning isolation. The Niland Marina was an abandoned area filled with emptiness and silence. What better way to revive the space than with creating an event space.

LA 4621L | CAPSTONE STUDIO | SPRING 2023

Introducing: Stellar Park

The Capstone studio – The Designing Beautiful Justice in Pacoima – encourages students to create a design solution that targets environmental injustices, climate change, and social injustices in the city of Pacoima. This community project involves a lot of site analysis, site precedents, rationale, programs, community engagement, landscape planning, and a thorough concept design.

Through a fixed set of strategies, we were able to generate a unique design that aims to eliminate or reduce dire issues in Pacoima.

03

DESIGN PROCESS

Problem Statement + Solution Concept Pacoima’s community is rich in its culture and its ability to portray its history through art.

The residents are strong, brave, and ever so united. However, the community and its residents have been facing extreme challenges that inevitably affect their health and safety; environmental injustices.

13

The Whiteman Airport has been a safety hazard and health risk since day one. Many attempts to shut it down have failed, but the community still fights for it to this day. Namely, Pacoima Beautiful has set up an organization with the Shutdown Whiteman Airport Coalition to, hopefully one day,

shutdown the main source emitter of several deadly toxins and deadly crashes to ensure the safety of the residents. Airscape aims to replace the danger zone with a healthy and secure multi-purpose, green park that acts as a platform for the community to celebrate, connect, and enjoy the purified air.

PARTI DIAGRAM

Design Solution Concept + Hubs The Hub typology was the perfect solution to the environmental injustices caused by Whiteman Airport. These injustices include poor air quality and park inequity.

The most important concept is to

f o o d

create a green space that drastically improves air quality for the residents of Pacoima. Dividing the site into “hubs” was the perfect way to create a positive and secure space that purifies the air.

There are three main groups that benefit after the toxins are broken down.

Asthma and cancder risks are drastically reduced, due to the toxins’ elimination, allowing people, animals, and plantlife to enjoy the outdoors fearlesssly.

Each plant targets a toxin and breaks it down in their own way. These three processes eliminate toxins, particle matters, etc. purifying the air resulting in better air quality and a cleaner healthy lifestyle.

Plant Growth Perspective Human versus site interaction during fall and winter seasons. Only a few plants such as the Flamingo Lily, Aloe Vera, and Snake Plant bloom and flourish during the unpredictable weather patterns.

Spring + Summer Plant Growth Perspective

Human versus site interaction during spring and summer seasons. Most of the plants from the plant list bloom and beautifully flourish during these seasons, but mostly during spring. These plants attract many wildlife such as birds and butterflies and are animal friendly.

LOVECRAFT IGE3300 | FALL 2022

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._P._Lovecraft

04

Nyarlathotep, a prose poem written by an odd writer, Howard Philips, HP Lovecraft. Nyarlathotep is an extremely stark description of people succumbing to a failing society. However, I had the chance to alter the storyline. Through digital collages, I replaced the sad plot of the poem into a brighter version where the society thrives into a better version of itself instead of dying.

24

IDENTITY PORTRAITS LA 4990 | FALL 2022

JUSTICEscape was a mind altering class and through this assignment, my eyes were opened. People are extremely opinionated towards everything, especially other people.

The identity portraits were designed to reveal the “white gaze” (left collage), and “integrated identity” (right collage). The “white gaze” refers to people’s assumptions towards me such as terrorist, child bride, illiterate, etc. because I am a middle eastern woman studying abroad.

Integrated identity is how I present myself to society, which is the truth; I am a creative landscape architecture student who loves to devour ridiculous amounts of sushi, drown in art, and be consumed by a really good book.

HYBRID VIGNETTES LA 5782 | SPRING 2023

I had the opportunity to be a TA for Cal Poly Pomona’s first-year landscape architecture studio, LA 1121L, during my senior year. As part of my TA duties, I had to create demos, or tutorials, for the students explaining different skills, techniques, design approaches, etc. One of my demos included hybrid vignettes.
