THE STACKS CLEVELANDâ€™S COLLISION BEND

The Stacks, at Collision Bend, is a reimagined park that connects the urban center of Cleveland to the Cuyahoga River. The modules that create a habitat for the fish, pays homage to old Cuyahoga Valley quarries that used to export timber and sandstone slabs. One of the main focuses of the design of this park was to create enclosure and a disconnect from the city. Being down in this lowered elevation pulls the visitor away from the busy, noisy scene. The use of terraces and trees screen outside buildings and brings you into a whole different feeling of separation. The sandstone designs include various sized slabs that have holes and no holes. The stones without holes gives visitors an opportunity to interact with the modules such as climbing or sitting on them. They are also used as a retaining wall for raised planters and the terraces. The addition of tall grass and meadow areas make a storm water buffer between the city and the river. The fish that accommodate to the underwater portion of the modules are the white crappie. The various holes in the stone slabs are portals for the fish to swim through for nesting and getaway from predators.

The Stacks Master Plan

The sandstone modules provide a circulated home for fish such as the white crappie. They are also designed as a gentle transition between the Cayuhoga River and the site. The holes range from 6â€? to 2â€™ in diameter and can be filled with some vegetation. Fish can use the stacked blocks to hide from larger pedators and turbulant waters

DISPLACED WOODS Northern Lights Shopping Center

The Northern Lights Shopping Center has a desolate parking lot surrounded by a strip mall. This is a redesign of an expansive parking lot that imagines tree lined communal spaces with large lawn panels. The use of different trees create an enclosed area, secluded from the rest of the city. The integrity of the openess of the site is kept with large green, gathering spaces. Initial studies of Walnut Woods Metro Park lead to the cross-over of woodland vegetation in an urban center of Columbus. Serviceberry, hornbeam, sugar maple, and white pine trees were included in the design process. It was important to take into account of tree height and canopy size to accomodate shaded areas. Research into the demographic and history of the surrounding neighborhoods, lead to the design backbone. The connections to the housing developments and main roads needed to be a seamless transition for walkers, bikers, and drivers.

USONIAN HOUSE RUSH CREEK VILLAGE

The Usonian House visits the village of Rush Creek to design a single story home for a career-driven couple with no kids. Material studies from site visits were a driving force to the project design. The L-shape concept created pockets of space for communal gathering and also set viewpoints from the building. The grade moves as fairly even until the steep decline near the rear of the site. Operating with such topography gave an opportunity to expand on the placement of the building components. The surrounding Usonian neighborhood homes influenced the simple and compact program for a quiet family.

looking the ravine. By pushing the building footprint back, it opens up the front yard for an expansive place for planting and seclusion from the main street. This specific shape of the home works more horizontally and is built into the grade like a Usonian home.

Final Orientation Tests

878.7 One of the first iterations of building placement focuses on the existing drive and opening the path to the patio space from that entrance. The heavy tree placement creates a private feel from the street. The development later moves to lower the elevation in two spaces to allow for gathering and separating a public and private scene. In the final configuration, the private space is isolated to the second L-shaped building and allows for multiple access routes from in and around the houses.

Master Plan

The formal plantings of hedges and the natural rock retaining walls allow for orthoganal paths between public and private spaces. The heavy screening of trees separate adjacent properties and street lines. The short elevated patio spaces accommodate to the gentle change of grade.

Detailed Plan The detailed plan presents a brief floor plan for the home with its planting. With the larger rooms closer to the patio, the transition from the outside and inside becomes an

NORDECKE DISTRICT CONFLUENCE VILLAGE

The emphasis on this project is to create a district around the home of the Columbus Crew which is appealing to residents and visitors year round. In the design, the stadium is positioned to have views of the Columbus skyline and lifted itâ€™s edges to create a more defined presence. The traditional stadium parking lot has been broken up to exaggerate topography in the form of mounds, and a routed circulation to make this site a much more pedestrian friendly space than around the current Mapfre Stadium. The site is divided into four zones to meet the unique needs for program and circulation. These zones are a mixed use neighborhood, a commercial strip, the stadium district, and the park. Through this design, the hope is to establish this area as another popular hub in the Arena District.

Existing Context Map

I-670 315

Looking at the surrounding context, the location of the site is relative to Huntington park, Nationwide Arena, and the convention center. Take note of how Spring St., 315 and 670 are all main arteries of traffic flowing directly adjacent to our site, while Nationwide Blvd is the one true main entrance. The connection to the Scioto Greenway directly south of the site, via bike trail and riverfront, has also been a focal point. The use of the many surrounding parking lots/garages which allows for limited parking on site.

RIGHT: The formation of the mounds help control the flow of circulation and frame views with their unusual shape. They also give an identity to the project, as Columbus is an area largely absent of such topography; and with such great heights, the mounds give an offseason interest.

is emphasized between this zone and the commercial

Zone 4 Breakdown

Zone 4 gives an identity to the site because Columbus is topographically flat. With the mounds being the at the larger size, they offer seasonal interest, such as sledding, as well as minor screening from the major highways. A bike trail proposes a connection with the Scioto Greenway along the riverâ€™s edge.
