Infrastructural Landscape: Strategies for Post-Industrial Reuse Project Location: Great Lakes Region & Erie, PA A Landscape Infrastructure approach is a uniquely flexible Theoretical position from which to approach the re-design of urban brownfield sites in the Great Lakes region. This thesis provides a decentralized approach that improves ecological and urban systems function while increasing and improving public space. In a region poised for social and economic change, I see Landscape Infrastructure as the most appropriate Theoretical lens for catalyzing change through design. This approach is flexible and appropriate given tightening budgets and limited resources. As anthropogenic change continues, it becomes necessary to approach all projects as an opportunity to lessen the impact of urban systems on fixed resources.

N P

SYSTEMS, SERVICES, & FLOWS operating at multiple SCALES simulaneously.

A crucial tenant of this thesis is the belief that interdisciplinary thinking and design is necessary to create vibrant urban spaces. Applied interdisciplinary collaboration between designers, engineers, economists, and planners is needed to solve the problems facing modern infrastructure and urban design.

Utilizing landscape infrastructure to move from

monofunctional

to multifunctional

strategies to address regional issues at a local scale.

After strategies are tested they can be deployed along the shores of Lake Erie to maximize impact.

Lake Erie has 871 miles of shoreline. More than 20% of the shoreline is more than 70% hardened. This is the highest percentage in the Great Lakes. Goals The shallowness of the lake, relative to the rest of the Great Lakes, is both an asset and a challenge. The potential for capturing wind energy is one element that could be implemented in most of Lake Erie. The majority of the lake, excluding the eastern basin, is less than 30 M. deep. The depth of the lake also compounds issues with sedimentation and nutrient runoff. Toxic algal blooms are increasingly being caused by excess nutrients coming primarily from human waste and agricultural runoff.

Maximize the regional assets while protecting the valuable regional resources.

Strategies Transition from coal power to wind power.

Harness algal growth potential for biofuels. Shifting from a resource extractive economy to a resource efficient economy. Creating shared value in for all in the region, socially, ecologically, and economically.

Focus on incubating a green manufacturing hub.

Use infrastructure to build social strength.

Organic Waste Collection and Processing Collecting both household and commercial waste. County and region would allow for greater economies of scale. Reuse of derelict and under used surface parking throughout the city as volume dictates. Cycling the nutrient rich compost or vermicompost into regional agriculture, sales to local residents, and diverting large streams of organic waste from landfills. Precedent: Growing Powerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s composting operation

Multiscalar Urban Agriculture A range of urban agriculture interventions that work to augment the food system needs of the city. Soil based growth pared with aquaponics raising yellow perch indigenous to the Great Lakes. Indoor hydroponic and airpoinic growth reusing large interior spaces to grow plants year-round. Rooftop greenhouses installed on existing flat roof buildings or integrated with new design. Precedents: Growing Power, the Plant Chicago, and Lufa Farms.

Surface and Subsurface Wetland Processing of Piped Streams Creating an opportunity to reduce the amount of sediment and excess nutrients entering Lake Erie from itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s watershed from antropogenic sources. Deploying these at each stream, sewer, or water treatment outlet to help normalize water temperatures. Precedent: Waitangi Park, Wellington, NZ.

Bluff Connections to Waterfront While the bluffs provide fantastic opportunity to view the waterfront they severely limit access. Deploying multiple interventions like a land bridge, terraced bluff parks, and pedestrian overpasses to maintain traffic flow and views while improving connection. Precedent: Land Bridge, Vancouver, BC

Biofuels Production Primarily utilizing post-industrial spaces to house algal bioreactors growing fuel for the nearby bioufuel plant. Large scale contained growth schemes can include vertical stacking, angled growth cells, or more traditional horizontal growth. Using a closed system allows for greatest efficiency for water use, increasing surface area for light absorption, and controlling quality.

Spreedux Park Project Location: Berlin, Germany Spring 2012, ARCH 502 with Nicole Huber Individual Project Berlin is a vibrant, diverse city recovering from the effects of being divided physically and culturally. This site was chosen for itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proximity to the abandoned amusement park site and the River Spree. The amusement park, Kulture Park Planterwald, was the only amusement park in the GDR. It was renamed as the Spree Park after reunification. The abandoned Spree Park is in the process of being reclaimed by nature. The beauty of nature reclaiming the land taken from the Planterwald Forest is juxtaposed with the augmentation artists add to the site. Highlighting the ephemeral quality of the Spree Park while protecting the site is a project goal. River Edge Conditions Completely Changed

The project seeks to improve the water quality in the River Spree, allow the citizens in Berlin to engage with the river, and allow access to the decaying Spree Park. Wrapping the site with a filtration park and inserting access into the Spree Park site allows users access to the site. The insertion sites would then be encouraged to root into the amusement park to ensure continued access to Spree Park. Balancing the improved ecological function of the abandoned amusement park with the desire to increase public access.

Users will still be able to interact with filtration wetlands but will have their access diminishing as they venture towards the Educate|Konnect Zone. User Access to the River Spree Rating: 2 of 4.

Section 3: Observations to Dinosaur Meadow Educate|Konnect Zone This section illustrates the elevated portion of the park used to observe the increased ecological diversity in the restricted section of the park. Users will not be able to physically interact with the wetlands but their elevated position will allow them to see more of the habitat area provided. User Access to the River Spree Rating: 1 of 4.

Section 4: Spree to Egg House

Water|Activity Zone

This section of the park is the most active at the waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surface due to the water activity center, it is intended to have the least ecological function. This area is where users will be able to interact with the river itself. The reuse of the existing Egghouse that is currently located on the site will allow for both physical and historical engagement. User Access to the River Spree Rating: 4 of 4.

Urban Beach Project Location: Seattle, WA Fall 2011, LARCH 504 with Nancy Rottle Individual Project with Group Master Plan The Central Waterfront has the unique potential to become a convergence space for many user groups. The Urban Beach is a portion of the Central Waterfront uniquely capable of encouraging this mixing of user groups. The creation of a protective arm pier encourages swimming, protects the shallow beach, intertidal zone, and tide pool. The enclosure encourages jumping from the pier as it sweeps around at grade from the Sea Path. A Waterfront Activities center is located to the North with Scuba functions underwater, changing spaces, and fireplaces located on the roof. The visible transportation of remediated stormwater from 1st Ave to Elliott Bay will increase user awareness, enhance the quality of the brackish water nearshore, and delineate spaces within the design.

Rhino Model of the Urban Beach at Waterfront Park

Sketch of Proposed Intervention at Waterfront Park

The beach is comprised of three zones divided by the stormwater channels running through it; The traditional â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;softâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sand beach to the North, a transitional beach in the center dispersing users entering from Union St., and a rocky beach to the South as users progress towards the Tidal Pools. The Tidal Pools will function as active ecological spaces that allow users to interface with the enhanced ecological systems on site.

60% of Limaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population lives in informal settlements, or barriadas, ELISEO COLLAZOS is one of them.

Peri-Urban Agriculture: An incremental Evolution Project Location: Lima, Peru Winter 2012, LARCH 503 with Ben Spencer Team Project with Michael Ward Our design centers around the resourcefulness and determination of residents living in the informal community of Eliseo Collazos on the edge of Lima, Peru. The Proposal seeks to encourage small-scale food cultivation to help improve nutritional health and financial stability for the users. Where people currently have no means to grow food, our design begins with a single box that serves as a garden plot. Building soil quality, agricultural skills, and community from a single-bucket garden. From that one box, the stairs street will evolve and grow into many growing plots. Increasing resources and minimizing the socioeconomic exploitation that they experience in the city.

Harnessing the idea of an incremental approach with planter boxes to create productive infrastructure of community residents.

75% of the Peruvian population lives West of the Andes.

National Context: Peru

100% of Central Lima has access to piped water unlike the barriadas.

Regional Context: Lima

Our design seeks to break down the barrier between designer and community member through construction and utilization dependent on the skills, agency, and local knowledge of the residents of Eliseo Collazos.
