WH Pacific was tasked with updating the surroundings of a section of the Washington Square Mall. I had complete control and freedom with the planting plan. I chose soft plants, to soften the concrete buildings. The colors were pinks and purples to appeal to the female shopper. The plants were modernized, giving the space a post-modern feel against the brutalist architecture.

PROJECT: MASTER’S THESIS

·· Created a primer for building natural swimming pools in the United States. ·· This project demonstrates interest in biomimicry in urban solutions. ·· The image below is an excerpt from the thesis and demonstrates the evolution of swimming pools

TOOLS:

·· InDesign ·· Illustrator ·· Written & Research

EXCERPTS FROM THESIS “SWIMMING LIKE A EUROPEAN: A PRIMER FOR DESIGNING NATURAL SWIMMING POOLS IN THE U.S.” Swimming pools, like lakes, are stagnant bodies of water with a variety of similar influences like circulation, different depths, and water chemistry. In its absolute simplest form, the lake is a depression in the geologic plate that collects water. A few of the influences on this depression are weather, climate, wind, water inputs, water outputs, geology, and surrounding vegetation. Lakes evolve over time, slowly filling with debris, becoming ponds, marshes and final the forest. Or the lake may be flushed out by a violent storm, ripped into a new expanded existence. The lake is a wild place, full of mystery, natural forces and dark nature. The lake signifies the beginning of all life, the well spring of all forces, where man begins. ...

The early 1900s were times of cities without indoor plumbing. Man harnessed the forces of nature by building the pool on the side of the river. Before these types of pools, men simply used the river. When walking by the river, one would see men and boys in full nudity frolicking on the river edge. ...

The controlled version of the pool is where we are today. This version is most resistant to nature, most contrary, the most conflicting. The Chlorine Pool evolved from a time of exploration into plastics, technology, pumps, injectors, and a manufactured understanding of chemistry. ...

Like the Chlorine Pool, the natural swimming pool (NSP) uses pumps and circulation to mimic the hydrologic process. Unlike the Chlorine Pool, the NSP mimics the lake by integrating the hydrologic and trophic processes. The NSP destroys bacteria, protozoa, viruses, and algae by percolating the water through a planted zone (the regeneration zone) and by maintaining the health of the microscopic trophic organisms in the main area of the pool (the swimming zone).

Zooplankton are the work horses of the trophic organisms in the swimming zone, consuming many of the microbial contaminants. Phytoplankton produce oxygen and absorb excess nutrients, while fungi and bacteria close the loop by consuming detritus and producing C02 for the phytoplankton.
