NATE SCHLORHOLTZ00NARRATIVE

When first accepted into the Landscape Architecture Program at ISU, I had a difficult time explaining what it was I would be studying for four years. I once had the idea of explaining the profession by drawing a figure-ground sketch of buildings along a street, and pointing to the voids saying

“this is what we do, we design the space between!” For that moment I was content with my explaination, but later I decided that landscape architecture wasn’t always the space between. Sometimes, buildings are the spaces between, and the landscape is the centerpiece of a place. Space

is interwoven into a fabric that defines a place. There is no space that is void of design, and this is a more coherent way to explain what landscape architects do. Just as architects are designers of interior space, we design exterior space to attempt to create a cohesive social environment.

PLAZA OF THE ARTSIOWA CITY, IA

PLAZA OFTHE ARTS

IOWA CITY, IA

01

In 2008, the flooding of the Iowa River damaged a large portion of the University of Iowa’s campus. The Arts Campus was the most severely impacted by the flood, as it is situated almost entirely in the floodplain. In an effort to prevent this region from suffering the negative economical and social impacts from occuring again, the university has begun to rebuild the campus on higher ground to the NW of the historic location. This leaves an opportunity for open public space to take the place of the campus. The Plaza of the Arts is a space that connects the East Campus to the West using a beam of light that acts as a both a physical guide and a piece of art. The plaza also includes an elevated wood platform that can be used for passive interaction, or as an informal stage for performances.

Columbus Park and the Rivermarket District are two neighborhoods in Kansas City adjacent to each other. Their boundaries are distinguished merely by an elevated highway, but the economic and social differences are dramatic. To promote economic and social prosperity in these neighborhoods, we are proposing an edible corridor that stretches from Garrison Square [Columbus Park’s community center] to our proposed community gathering space in the Rivermarket District. This corridor links not only the two neighborhoods, but also many local restaurants, grocers and the City Market. The 5th Street Edible Corridor helps to alleviate the high cost of groceries for residents, while also stimulating the local economy by attracting outsiders to come dine at the restaurants.

COMMUNITYVISIONING

MANNING, IA

03

Iowa Community Visioning is a program based on community action and empowerment, with designers acting as skilled advisors to create the vision of the townspeople. Manning, Iowa is a town of approximately 1,500 people. Their three primary goals were to update their main street, develop a family of signage, and create a schematic plan for the location of amenities along their future multi-use trail system. The landscape architecture firm and I went to a series of meetings with the town steering committee to make sure we were accurately depicting their vision. At the end of the summer, we presented these visions to the community. The boards we created greatly increase the chances of Manning recieving grants to fund their visions.

RESIDENTIALDESIGN+BUILD

ANKENY, IA

04

Located at the residence of my parents, this was my first design/build project. The design was focused around the programs my parents wanted the backyard to accomodate, plus the existing items they wanted to retain. The tree and two shrubs were already there before this project, as was the slab of concrete and hot tub. The patio, cedar deck, and privacy fence were designed by me and installed by my parents and I. I gained experience in residential design, cost estimation, product specification, and installation during this summer project.

FURNITUREDESIGN

AMES, IA

05

The design and construction of this bookcase was an inde-pendent project made as a gift to my girlfriend. The design process began in the form of sketching. My design intent was to create a contemporary and versatile piece of furniture that could showcase books, photo-graphs, flowers, and any other design accents one would want to display. I wanted the piece to have a lightness to it. This is why I chose to have the sides and back open, and to extend the shelves out so they had a subtle floating look to them. I believe designer should be well-rounded in all aspects of design. This project gave me a deeper understanding of detail-oriented design, and improved my level of craft.

Louisiana Station

MethodistHospital

Temporary +TransitionalHousing

The Minneapolis-St. Paul met-ropolitan area is currently de-veloping a master plan for the Southwest Light Rail. One of many stops along the way to Eden Prairie is called Louisiana Station. The primary reason this location was chosen is its adja-cency to the Methodist Hospital [located 0.3 mi South of the proposed station]. The land-use around this proposed station is primarly light industrial, making it an economically inefficient area to propose a station. The Neural Network seeks to increase the density of the surrounding area, improve both the vehicular and pedestrian connectivity of this development, and create a healthcare oriented identity for the station. The station is blan-keted by a large “neural cano-py”, which becomes a lighting feature when the next light rail is approaching.
