EXPLORING GEORGETOWN

What is the essence of the neighborhood Georgetown in Seattle, WA? I began this exploration by creating a collage of my experience in the historic neighborhood. The pollution I discovered influenced my final project for the studio.

Programs used: Photoshop, Illustrator

ENDOPHYTEINOCULATED PHYTOREMEDIATION

After taking a class with Dr. Sharron Doty on phytoremediation, I was inspired into using new phytoremediation technology to help clean up pollution in Georgetown.

Programs used: Illustrator, InDesign

ONE SIZE DOESN’T FIT ALL A VARIETY OF PLANTS, ENDOPHYTES, AND FUNGI MAY BE NEEDED TO REMEDIATE A SITE DEPENDING ON POLLUTANTS

PARTNERING WITH INTRINSYX ENVIRONMENTAL TO FIND THE BEST SOLUTION ON A SITE-BY-SITE BASIS

INOCULATING GEORGETOWN

For my final project of the Georgetown-centered studio, I created a three-step plan to bring endophyte-inoculated phytoremediation to polluted sites in Georgetown. The first step begins with three test sites and will expand to nine sites after five years. After ten years, successes and failures from the neighborhood project will be brought to other polluted sites around Seattle.

CAPTURING WATER FLOW

For the final project of the urban sites studio, I broke through the asphalt of a parking lot near pioneer square in Seattle, WA to capture water moving through the site and observe sea-level rise. Vignettes on the right help visualize how the place could change through time.

RECYCLED SHELTER

This class project focused on creating a detail-set for an imagined landscape feature. I decided to utilize recycled materials and created a canopy by cutting an oil tank in half. The rotating seats below the canopy utilize smaller recycled oil barrels.

Programs used: Photoshop, Illustrator, Rhino, AutoCAD

DESIGNING WITH ITERATION

Assigned to effectively show the relationship between two species, this project demonstrates my ability to design through iteration.
