Design Statement
With the increasing temperatures from climate change and urbanism, spaces for people and living organisms in neighborhoods have declined. As a result, this design aims to reconcile the issues reflected on neighborhood design by reinterpreting the connection between people, place, and streets.
Implement rainwater management techniques for year round use
+ by merging bioswales and raingardens with streets and sidewalks
+ with plants that thrive under flooding and drought circumstances
+ for traffic calming
Connect people with place
+ by implementing street pocket gathering areas and expanded living streets
+ through shared spaces open for neighbordhood block parties, reflection areas, and inter pretive experiences.
+ for community rapport and support
Provide shared spaces at a neighborhood scale,
+ by rethinking street and sidewalk traditional use
+ to share with neighbors and other living organisms
+ for outdoor living experiences
MODEL CONCEPT //
1 materials & textures / exploring landscape design at neighborhood scale
2 model expoloration of landscape connection between people, bird habitat, and climate change
3 conceptual model reflects the relationship between colors, textures, and materials for the land

BURNS PARK PLAN //
1 intentionally expanding spaces to share with the essence of the place and with oneself
2 non linear paths to connect with, reflect, and explore
3 detaining water through basins, bioswales, and permeable surfaces
4 design component: one non linear path, interpretive views, intimate seating, experience sound
SHARING E 10TH ST //
1 merging the neighborhood with living streets
2 identity spaces that come together for respect, experience, and protection
3 invitation extended for anyone and everyone to diversify streets and spaces
4 design component: gathering shared pockets, open seating,
RESPECTING STREETS //
1 slowing down for lived human experiences
2 addressing stormwater runoff with bioswales or raingardens that are preserved year round for street aesthetics
3 street reduction for increasing walkability, vegetation density, water runoff strategies
4 spatially distributed for human interaction and cars
