Taylor Goetzinger 2016 Landscape Architecture Portfolio

TAYLOR GOETZINGER LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO

ABOUT ME I am currently an Iowa State University landscape architecture alumni. I graduate in May 2016 with a bachelor’s degree in Landscape Architecture and a secondary major of Environmental Studies with a minor in Horticulture.

The study and practice of landscape architecture for me is like a puzzle. I enjoy the analyzing of the pieces and drawing conclusions and solutions to the problem. I find it really rewarding to go through the design process and at the end be able to look back on your work and see how it has positively affected the surrounding environment. Many aspects of landscape architecture interest me and I love that it pertains to so many different elements in our daily life.

Landscape architecture to me is a way of life and I’m glad that I am able to pursue it as a career.

After graduation I hope to join a firm where I can continue to build upon my education. While it has set the stage for my future in practice, I know my learning has just begun. I want to find a place that will help me learn, grow, and achieve my goals as a landscape architect.

RE-IMAGINING & GREENING PHILADELPHIA PUBLIC SCHOOLYARDS PROJECT TEAM: Taylor Goetzinger, Chad Easter, Josh Haines, Ian Clark In fall 2015 I took an optional studio that was taught by Bambi Yost. That semester we broke into groups and worked on different schoolyards in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Each group nominated a project team leader I was nominated by my team to hold that position. For the semester we were to work with a team of consultants ranging from professional landscape architects, community members, student’s parents, and students of the schools. Our goal for this semester was to work with the school and community to come up with a new design that would benefit the students that attended the school. This project allowed me to learn how to manage a project team all while going through the design process concluding with a final design. If also allowed me to work with other consultants , as well as, work with students and that community to help drive our design ideas.

The first three weeks of the semester was spent doing research on the school and collecting information on what the school and community members were looking for in the new design. We then traveled for a few days to Philadelphia to put on a community engagement event that allowed people to come and vote on some of the concepts that we had prepared according to the different wants and needs of the students, parents and community members of J.S. Jenks. This allowed me to feel more comfortable talking with clients of this project and also showed me what was working and what wasn’t with our concepts.

CONCEPTUAL & SCHEMATIC DESIGN 1ST: RHIZOMES

FINAL: OAK LEAF

Our first idea was to go with a concept of rhizomes. Rhizomes are a continuously growing horizontal underground stem that puts out lateral shoots and adventitious roots at intervals. We chose this idea because it went along with the schools love for plants and gardening.

It also allowed us to use our new grand entrance to be the starting node of our design and then, in intervals, work its way throughout the schoolyard.

Though our rhizomes concept worked well for our stormwater management system it didn’t relay well to the community and the corresponding landscape firm we were working with. So we played around with other ideas and came up with an oak leaf. The veins of the leaf have the same movement as our previous concept and it played with our idea of using a plant related object. Using a leaf also was more visibly appealing and understandable.

EAGLE, COLORADO RESTORING RELATIONSHIPS

My third year studio was based in Eagle, Colorado where they were battling a disconnect in the town due to Interstates and highways that ran through the town. We were given the option to choose between three topics to focus on: animal crossing, riverwalk and trail systems. I chose to focus on the disconnect between animal habitats. My main goal was to restore the relationship between the local wildlife and the citizens of Eagle. By creating a connecting corridor and integrating humans and wildlife together Eagle can once again become a connected city. I believe this can be done by adding activities to the area that will help attract people while also providing wildlife with different methods of wildlife crossings so that they can safely make it across the heavily used highways. Vegetation is used to create the wildlife corridors and is placed in different ways to accommodate the diverse fauna in the Colorado region.

CONCEPT 3

By analyzing the existing site and incorporating the programmatic elements that were needed to attract people and animals I was able to layout a concept that allowed for a safe and smooth movement throughout the site. One of the biggest challenges was working with the existing surrounding properties. A large portion of the site was owned by the fairgrounds and couldn’t be relocated. My concept created wildlife corridors throughout the site that doubled as recreational activities for the residents of Eagle. By making the confluence or Eagle River and Brush Creek the new Nature Center this allowed for a central node that resonated out into other areas of outdoor entertainment.

MULTIMEDIA REPRESENTATION Because I was a none traditional student when I entered into the landscape architecture program I had already fulfilled a lot of my credits needed to graduate. While signing up for classes my third year I decided that I wanted to do a minor in horticulture. One of the classes that goes toward that minor is a graphics course in which you learn how to properly draft a site plan and planting plan. We were given a site plan that we were to design and draft in different medias. This project taught me how to use line weights, shading, and texture in order to display my concept and design to a potential client. Because landscape architecture has become such a digital oriented profession it was nice to be able to refresh my hand drawing skills and learn some of the standards of hand drafting.

PROJECT TEAM: Rob Gray, Aaron Ross, Elise Hubbard, Taylor Goetzinger, Richard Prudenti Westport Middle School was a project that I worked on while interning at BNIM. This project was the first full Construction Document set that I was given the opportunity to set up and lay out on my own. It helped me to become quick while working in AutoCAD and helped me to better understand the layout of a CD set. This project was a redevelopment of an old school that was being turned into apartment complexes. My main focus was on helping out with the design and functionality of the courtyard area. It was a great learning experience because I had never dealt with designing water features before.

OLATHE, KANSAS OLATHE TRAIL SYSTEM

PROJECT TEAM: Gunnar Hand and Taylor Goetzinger

The Olathe Trail System was another project I worked on while interning at BNIM. This project was headed by a planner named Gunnar Hand who taught me about the different multi-use trail layouts that could be implemented into different existing conditions. By collecting and analyzing maps of the cities already existing trails we were able to design a better connected system that linked up to surrounding towns. For me this was a learning experience because I hadn’t ever dealt with bike path and lane policies before and was not familiarized with the standards that were put into place for different design situations.

ATLANTA, GEORGIA ULI STUDENT COMPETITION

PROJECT TEAM: Ebulimiti Aikebai (Architect), Taylor Goetzinger, Nikole Self (Architect/Planner), Wenjuan Feng (Landscape Architect), Evan Jeanblanc (Architect) This competition was an optional studio that I took my fifth year. We were given two weeks to work with a team of all different disciplines. Our task was to redesign the gentrified area of Midtown Atlanta, Georgia. The site had existing parking lots that were providing a space that was being under-utilized. There was also the challenge of how to connect both sides of the 14-lane highway together. Our idea was to provide more density, more diversity, a sustainable area, and provide more connectivity. This project provided me with the challenge and opportunity of working in a fast paced setting with a group of people who didn’t always share the same opinion on design elements.

Large open spaces in front of shops and businesses allow for gathering spaces and outdoor plaza areas. This can provide seating and entertainment for pedestrians and draw people in by creating a space that is visually appealing. It can also allow the vendors to bring their merchandise out onto the street creating a more pedestrian friendly environment.

This area doesn’t have a lot of flooding issues but the one place it floods is in the pedestrian tunnel which then makes it difficult for people to get from one side of the highway to the other. By implementing stormwater catchments along the street it will help with flooding further downhill and put less pressure on the cities underground sewer system.

Ideally it would be great to put in bike lanes throughout this area to make it safer for bicyclists.

However, there isn’t much room to alter the current streets. So we proposed to put in wider sidewalks in certain areas in order to provide a space that can incorporate a multitude of transportation.

Below is a diagram of the water movement through these stormwater catchments.

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA SEUNCITY WALK COMPETITION

PROJECT TEAM: Jihee Chung, Brandon Wlosinski, Nick Fratta, Taylor Goetzinger, Josh Boehm, Arpit Balhara, Gunnar Hand and Professor Sungyup Kim

This competition was done while I was interning at BNIM. The competition objective was to renovate the deck and nearby public space of the Seunsangga Complex. This would help improve the pedestrian environment and connect with surrounding areas of various nature and thereby re-establish a pedestrian axis from north to south. Our idea was to expand the deck out into the surrounding community using paths and open space areas. We then would help reinforce the complex using arched structrues along the sides of the building that would double as access points for pedestrians. This project was challenging for me because it was located in a different country that had a different culture and style. It was also challenging because I had never been to the site and was working off of images for reference.
