ABOUT

EXTENTS

EXTENTS is a curated collection of student work in the landscape architecture department at the University of Washington, assembled and edited by the UW chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects (UWASLA). This year the publication team has identified three broad themes that contextualize the work being done by students in the department: legibility, resilience, and healing. Taken together, these themes provide an image of the big questions being tackled by landscape students at UW: How can overlapping systems be revealed and elucidated in urban spaces? How can human and biological communities thrive in challenging environments?

How can landscape architecture support the healing of toxic landscapes and encourage physical well-being?

The projects in this publication were evaluated anonymously by a panel of professionals on the basis of content, graphic presentation, and technical attributes. All student work in landscape architecture at the UW was eligible for submission.

The resulting collection in this issue of EXTENTS represents some of the most engaging student work completed at the UW during the 2016-2017 academic year. In print these projects appear static, but the concepts and challenges they address will continue to be re-evaluated and re-imagined as part of the iterative process of design education. EXTENTS is a snapshot of this ongoing process and a window into the collective imagination of landscape students this year at the University of Washington.

LEGIBILITY Landscape architecture has the ability to bring people into closer communication with the patterns and processes of their built and natural environments. Projects in this section have a specific focus on revealing, enhancing, and distilling phenomena to create legible landscapes.

Stop Making Sense imagines a way to mark the legacy of nuclear waste at the Hanford nuclear facility in Eastern Washington. Urban Loom and Norrebro Plads: A Vital Edge reveals stormwater processes and clarify wayfinding in a new multimodal transit hub in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Painting Ecological Process works with cycles of drought and flood in Szinda, Zimbabwe to create a landscape inscribed with seasonal changes.

Tactile Map Tile utilizes 3D printing technology to build a more inclusive, non-visual method for mapping urban environments. Freeze | Thaw explores chemical state changes and refraction through a physical concept model, and Reading the Elwha annotates environmental history and landscape experience along the Elwha river.

Site I Installation

Stop Making Sense Kasia Keeley, Andrew Prindle The Hanford Nuclear Site in Eastern Washington is home to some of the most complex social and ecological issues facing the world. The urgency of the arms race initiated by World War II and propelled by the ensuing Cold War centered around new technologies based on increased scales of destructive capacities through both weaponry and information sciences. The fundamental alteration of what “war” constitutes resulted in the world’s most rapid accumulation of high-power weaponry and an attending unprecedented, amount of contamination resulting in the most expensive environmental cleanup in history. This cleanup has experienced many delays and complications and is still far from the seemingly impossible goal of bounded, static waste containment.

populations - the workers of Hanford, the residents of Richland, indigenous tribes - as well as a much wider public with the inclusion of the B Reactor as part of our national heritage in the National Park System via the Manhattan Project National Park project. We argue that new methods of design, articulation, and place making are necessary to cultivate and mediate new relationships between history, waste and toxicity as well as cultural land uses in order to address the complexities of Hanford How can the site convey a more nuanced understanding of its environmental and political history to a greater audience than the DOE/NPS has currently envisioned? What possibilities exist for landscape, design, and art in an anthropic landscape? How might Hanford serve as a guide for handling human-waste relationships? What novel techniques can allow landscape to productively articulate and engage users with the history and toxicity of a such a site?

As Hanford’s role in the landscape shifts dramatically, there are repercussions felt by local 8

Urban Loom Robin Croen, Sierra Druley, Laura Durgerian, Joshua Gawne The future site of Nørrebro Station is currently a physical and cultural intersection. Bus, metro, train, and bicycle commuters all converge here. With the highest refugee population in Copenhagen, languages, cultures, and lifestyles also converge here. The project’s biggest challenge, and biggest opportunity, is weaving together this diversity to create a stronger, more dynamic, and more vibrant urban fabric. Urban Loom draws upon existing site features, both form and function, to deploy a range of design ideas that integrate culturally significant spaces, mixed-modal transportation, and ties into the existing infrastructural systems of the city.

The vibrant and diverse Nørrebro identity forms the backbone and inspiration for design intervention. Form is found and supported by the rhythm of train columns, and gaps between columns become opportunities to create porous public space.

Weaving between existing assets and constraints, design interventions are firmly rooted in place and intend to compliment the already vibrant existing character.

Harvesting Constructed Wetlands Habitat Swales

Painting Ecological Process Nicky Bloom, Xinyu Shen Arid climate and expanding student populations demand that Painted Dog Research Trust increase its self-sufficiency by reusing waste water. This design also creates moments of interaction with seasonal change and ecological process. Painting Ecological Process activates the 34-acre site as a large-scale outdoor classroom and research station to further the Trust’s mission to educate people and conserve habitat and animals. Large spatial gestures increase the site’s legibility for visitors while creating opportunities to appreciate changes in season, water levels, and animal life.

A living machine harnesses, treats, and loops black water back to residences to flush toilets. Constructed wetlands treat grey water for site irrigation. Habitat swales slow and capture runoff during the wet season and provide precious water storage and habitat pockets during the dry season. Steeper slopes serve as habitat research areas to test land management practices as well as attract painted dogs, kudu, and other native animal species. Program is organized around water as an educational tool, and towers, decks, and tree houses carve nooks where ecological process becomes legible to students.

The design utilizes sloping topography and seasonally varied hydrological conditions of the site to harvest, treat, reuse, and ultimately sink rain and

Tile Prototypes

A lack of critical engagement with these and related ideas has left signifcant room for improvement when it comes to equitable design.

circumstances that influence a full spectrum of experience. These tiles confront gaps in the cartographic record as it pertains to inclusive design, and considers how that is manifested in the lived experience.

Pairing a participatory, data-driven design approach together with interdisciplinary collaboration, these 3D printed, parametrically designed maps allow for user feedback, and ever changing open-data sets to be quickly incorporated.

This project presents an alternative approach to exploring the pedestrian experience. Challenging the existing primacy afforded to vision, this work takes a tactile approach. This project uses the development of tactile graphics as both a means of better understanding the pedestrian experience for people with low vision and blindness, as well as a step towards developing wayfinding tools that can be used by people with range of visual experiences.

Prototypes were printed throughout the process to test legibility with expert users and to better understand the technical and material constraints associated with 3D printing. Ultimately, the maps were printed using a Wood PLA and sandblasted to achieve a softer texture. A custom folder was bound to organize the map tiles, so they could be used at home prior to a journey, or folded and taken en route.

Designed as tools that enhance spatial understanding for people within a large range of visual capacities, these maps consider 14

Topography was considered at multiple scales: macro-topography characterizing street or district level grade changes, transitional features such as stairs and ramps, and micro topography changes such as curb heights and tree well depths.

Features of the pedestrian environment were evaluated for inclusion on the maps.

Surfaces were grouped according to similar traits in order to reduce the number of symbols required.

Norrebro Plads: A Vital Edge Jack Alderman, Jesse Shan, Kevin Van Meter, Tatyana Vashchenko Norrebro Station is located on the boundary between two neighborhoods at the outer edge of Copenhagen, DK. This area is both vibrant and diverse but has historically been under-served by the municipal government. It lacks urban ecology, climate adaptation, and social infrastructure.

The project site is split by a linear barrier, that is both physical and municipal. A rail line bisects the site, and demarcates the edge between two neighborhoods. Our design strategies for Norrebro Plads shift, dissolve and lift this edge utilizing a multi-dimensional approach that is playful and innovative. Our proposal aims to provide rich public space that merges climate conscious design and aesthetic deďŹ nition.

Freeze | Thaw Sophie Krause Conceptual model aims to make legible the processes of freeze and thaw through a static, 3-dimensional form. Manifestations of chemical state change, refraction, and the process’ cyclical nature is reflected through materiality and perspective.

Like water moving through the physical states, glass is manipulated with shards, scratches, and glue to represent the transition from solid, to liquid, to gas. Light and shadow functions as an interactive component to mirror the act of freezing and thawing, creating unique outcomes under different conditions, as the panels bend light through various mediums.

Reading the Elwha Robin Croen, Jean Ni What is place? Is it a point in space? A moment in time, a memory, a story, an experience?

How can the phenomenological experience of landscape be quantified, recorded, shared? Or should it be at all?

This book/journal maps the socio-cultural and ecological implications of dam removal edge conditions through academic investigation, spatial understanding, and personal notation. The project bridges multiple disciplie-specific conventions of education, theory, and research into a tactile strategy of knowledge seeking. The physical craft explores visual research methods of mapping, narrative, immersion, and collective memory.

Gathering Terrain Sierra Druley, Jean Ni The Painted Dog Research trust is a space dedicated to ecological research, landscape rehabilitation, and environmental stewardship.

Gathering Terrain is a framework for design interventions on the site that support this mission by mitigating extreme rainfall patterns and creating opportunities for ecological and technological engagement. The project represents a conceptual framework that utilizes discrete, deployable technologies within a phased, radially-expanding implementation plan. Intensive management and human activity in concentrated on the site, allowing more room for habitat restoration. Within this framework, each technology addresses a

specific set of environmental and functional issues while also creating space for human connection to these processes.

Each of the five phases—collect, treat, fortify, grow and connect, are designed to support a highly functioning landscape and provide immersive human experience on the site. By bridging the gap between resilience technologies and experiential connection to place, this plan aims to support ecological literacy and landscape stewardship in the Szinda community and in the PDRT’s wider diaspora.

Capacity to Conserve Jack Alderman, Laura Durgerian The vision for this research-based conservation education campus stems from a need identified by the Painted Dog Research Trust’s director for greater “capacity.” In developing a systematic approach to capacity-building at the PDRT Zimbabwe Campus, we focused on four factors: resilience, re-use, adaptation and growth. Shaped by site topography and existing campus uses, we identified living, working and hybrid zones to provide an organizational framework for systematic site interventions.

A tidal wetland filtration system blends function with form by purifying water for agricultural use by pumping it through a series of wetlands that are raised to different heights, simultaneously providing visitors with a dynamic educational experience.

The 30-year master plan transforms the site into a productive and sustainable landscape that is capable of adapting to climate change and provides a consistent source of food. The design showcases replicable agricultural and sustainability technologies and practices that the community members could adapt to their own plots.

The site is designed to set up scalable nutrient, soil, and water retention systems. These systems are layered togegher to demonstrate how to prepare soil for the production of high-yielding crops, how to utilize livestock to improve vegetation and soil

Interconnection | Independence WenWen Cao , Aaron Parker This project design promotes a fully selfsufficient system for the PDRT campus in Zimbabwe. On the broad scope, they used cultural symbolism, community needs, and forward thinking technologies to implement scalable and contextually relevant systems for a more functionally sustainable campus. They used the concept of a gyroscope to impel the system focused thinking of the design. The circular form comes from research and analysis of Zimbabwean culture. The gyroscope, like the campus system, has many independent

moving cycles within a whole interdependent system. The team considered the inputs and also the outputs of the system, and the inner circulation relationship of water remediation through the wetland, agricultural production, aquaculture, and the rest of the proposed enterprises. Over time, the development of the campus will support more students who will support more research and system management leading to more self-sufficient and sustainable campus model.

Where the Sidewalk Ends Allison Ong “There is a place where the sidewalk ends, and before the street begins...”

In his famous poem, Where the Sidewalk Ends, Shell Silverstein captures the mythic and whimsical quality of a street end. These ‘inbetween,’ ‘forgotten,’ or ‘interstitial’ spaces can be found in various states of neglect throughout our cities. But what if gaps in the urban fabric could be seen as opportunities to support a new way of thinking about urban ecology and contribute to a new urban folklore? Investigating the philosophies of Peter del Tredici, Gilles Clément, and Alan Berger, this design attempts to value and occupy urban interstitial space: finding a place for human and ecological health at the intersection of abandon and opportunity.

An island of bioremediation plants occupy the space between the bridges.

Jackson Park Tatyana Vashchenko Taking into consideration the neighborhood’s proposed zoning and population density changes, this project explores options for how Jackson Park Golf Course, a park currently managed by a for-profit golf management company, might be reimagined to better serve its community and region. Situated on two light-rail stops, the 160acre park is uniquely positioned to have a regional reach. Analysis of walkability to publicly accessible open spaces shows that a significant area to the south and east of Jackson Park is underserved, despite being located immediately adjacent to what is technically a public park property. This proposal leverages the already established pattern of greens and naturalized woods to choreograph

a sequential experience for park visitors to experience while walking, running or bicycling through the park. Existing conifers are selectively cleared, leaving stumps and snags, paying homage the site’s history of logging while providing wildlife and fungal habitat.

The proposed park’s extensive meadows are managed through rotational grazing, while a central green functions as a year-round range for the park’s resident sheep, kept by a non-profit animal husbandry program. Gabion Ha-Has serve as a wayfinding tool along the park’s central walking loop which links the numerous programmatic functions accommodated along its perimeter.

Thornton Creek Connections Allison Ong

The Thornton Creek Watershed is the largest watershed in Seattle. Yet, according to a survey conducted by SPU, 68% of residents in the watershed are unaware of a watershed or water source nearby. I looked at ways to increase residents’ awareness of their local watershed by highlighting sites where existing streets and pedestrian routes cross the creek. and combining them into a pedestrian network. These crossings would become important nodes that connect people to their local creek while providing opportunities for education, art, and safe pedestrian routes.
