TRI-CITIES GREEN PLAN
WSU Principles of Urban Planning, Spring 2024
TASK
Work as a class to create a comprehensive plan dedicated to a greener future in the Tri-Cities as they are on the climate frontline. Work individually to re-design a section of Pasco, Washington along West A Street, shifting the focus away from the ease of car travel.
SOLUTION
A design that shrinks West A street in Pasco, Washington from 4 lanes, down to 3 lanes and eventually two lanes used for buses and travel. This design allows one to revision what the future of Pasco may entail when it is designed for the people that use the space.
PROGRAMS USED
TAKEAWAY: Envision the Tri-cities as an entirely green space.

ATOMIC OVERSEERS
WSU LA Senior
Capstone, Spring 2024
TASK
Analyze the Hanford site through a series of technical documents pertaining to the historical, scientific, cultural, social, and ecological significance of the Hanford site. Develop a project that addresses these issues while providing a solution to some of the numerous complications at the site.
SOLUTION
A set of bluff side bunkers are proposed within the White Bluffs next to the Columbia River. These bunkers serve as a home to a community of ‘Atomic Overseers’ tasked to remember, observe, and protect the Hanford site. These bunkers are connected to an agricultural geoglyph via underground tunnels and an above ground trail system. This geoglyph shows the nuclear waste symbol in aerial view.

Architectural Design IV, Fall 2023
TASK
Pick a site in either Colfax, WA or Palouse, WA based on the in-class fieldtrip to sites within both towns. Redesign your selected site to increase connectivity between the site and its surroundings. In addition to this, implement interactive community engagement to attract residents from the town and neighboring towns.
