I personally surveyed the paths of this garden and helped with its construction. I manually identified, counted, and located the plants in the garden and created this autoCAD document that is used by arboretum staff as a management tool to keep track of the plants. Each of the green circles is a block whose attributes are defined to give information about the specific plant- its common and scientific name, date planted, and its health.

Rain garden v iewing deck Serving as the terminus of the

axis created by paving pattern and drains, the rain garden is located at the southern-most point of the schoolyard. Drains which collect stormwater from the entire site flow underneath the wooden viewing deck and into the ponding area of the rain garden. Whimsical sculptures of aquatic amphibians are included in the design. The viewing deck, located adjacent to the outdoor classroom, provides an opportunity for students to learn about native plants, the water cycle, stormwater management, and aquatic ecosystems. A 3’ berm planted with highbush blueberry bushes (Vaccinium corymbosum) partially blocks the view outward into the surrounding neighborhood.

Outdoor c lassroomThe outdoor classroom is located farthest away

from the playground to decrease distraction. It is surrounded by a vegetated buffer for this same reason. Experimentation tables, stump seating, a large chalkboard, and a storage shed for garden tools are the site’s furnishings. A row of pawpaw trees (Asimina triloba) frames the space and provides a tasty fall treat. The outdoor classroom is flanked by forest and meadow habitats, a rain garden, and garden plots to maximize diverse environmental education opportunities.

Pick-up and drop-off p laza Looking west from Howard Street, this

area is currently the most popular point for children to be dropped off in the morning. A plaza paved with two colors of porous resin-bound aggregate is visually and physically separated from the adjacent parking lot. A 5’ vegetated strip with rain gardens between the sidewalk and the parking lot treats stormwater runoff from the sidewalk. Steps and a ramp were added to the existing raised platform which abuts the cafeteria entrance which can serve as an outdoor seating location for teachers. Pig-shaped cisterns collect overflow stormwater from the green roof. This water can be used to irrigate the garden plots.

Left: This rain garden in the western pick-up and drop-off plaza collects stormwater from the plaza. To make it more accessible and interactive, it features raised stepping stones that children can hop across like frogs on lily pads. Its curvilinear edge is mimicked by benches of the same form which face the playground- a prime location for teachers to sit and watch the children from the shade.

Below: The schoolyard is arranged in layered zones to maximize its effectiveness. The uses that will be frequented most often or require the most care are located closest to the school such as the playground and garden plots. Those that require less tending or which will not be used every day such as the meadow and forest habitats are farther from the building. This layering is a basic principle of permaculture, the practice of using ecological and biological systems that complement each other to live more harmoniously with nature.

Over the summer of 2010 I volunteered to design the layout of the new community garden at Temple’s main campus. I worked with the facilities department and the garden’s president to come up with a design that would maximize the small space and be a destination on campus.

18buck ingham v i l l age t .o .d . des ign / bucks coun ty, pa[ t o w n p l a n n i n g ]

Design Intent:

• Create memorable streetscapes that employ comfortable building to building distances and sidewalk widths, street trees and prominent buildings as focal points

• Locate the dense community corridor at the epicenter of the village to create an imageable village center and to reduce sprawl into adjacent farmland

• Centrally-locate the transportation node where it will be easily accessible to all to encourage use

• Use the wetland area on the eastern portion of the site as a community gathering area and nature center to foster public awareness of the delicate condition of the surrounding environment

• Integrate housing types to encourage social diversity

The forms of both structure and void in this park were designed with shipping routes in mind associate the landscape with the seafaring history of the Navy Yard. Swooping paths originate at nodes, usually entrances, and terminate at other path intersections and points of interest within the park. These paths form the structure that divides them, so naturally the structures follow the same curves.

Goalsobjectivesand

Maintain a modern gritty vibe that will appeal to urban pioneers and visionaries.-Use reclaimed timber as sculpture and in the construction of buildings and structures. -Use metal as an edging material in garden beds.-Build structures out of glass, timber, steel, and reclaimed wood planking.

Create an urban-scale park with a feeling of spatial intensity.-Incorporate additional buildings and structure within the park to make it less vast.-Create spaces with varying degrees of enclosure, privacy, and sun exposure using structure, vegetated buffers, and landform.

Include sustainable elements that are both aesthetically pleasing, functional, and educational to the public.-Plant native plants.-Recycle or reuse materials for site furnishings.-Use renewable energy sources such as wind and solar energy for anything requiring power.-Locate architectural forms with passive solar heating and cooling in mind.-Incorporate stormwater BMPs wherever possible.-Include educational signage to explain the importance of these investments.

Incorporate a unique structure to serve as an entrance to a proposed stop on the Broad Street subway line.- Centrally locate the structure and have it serve as a focal point.-Combine the subway stop with an indoor public space building to reduce the scale of the park, provide a respite in bad weather, and provide an interesting transition into the Navy Yard from Center City.

Form spaces suited to a variety of different activities, both active and passive, and include ample open space for corporate functions and special events.-Design with the corporate office employee in mind.-Include functions not found in other nearby parks such as a walking path, moveable Chaise lounges for sunbathing, benches positioned to watch planes take off, a medium sized green for impromptu sports or corporate events, and a restaurant with outdoor seating.

Provide opportunities to display land art and other outdoor exhibitions.-Locate exhibits along major paths parallel to Diagonal Boulevard, on the raised plaza, or interspersed in the forest.-Display the work of local artists.

The north entrance to Central Green on Diagonal Boulevard can be considered the main access point into the park. The structure that houses the subway entrance is lo-cated on the corer amongst a shady bosque, providing a calming transition between the bustling subway and the park. Linear gardens dot the main path, leading passers-by in. The raised plaza and atrium are clearly visible, and the closest access point for the plaza to this entrance is an ADA accessible ramp. A shade structure made from reclaimed timber continues the curve of the atrium building and provides a shadier place for outdoor seating on the plaza.

viewc

This newly-built atrium office building in Newtown Square, NY resembles the one featured in this design. Timber posts line the curved front facade, which is made of glass so it can most efficiently utilize sunlight exposure.

This cross section shows the transition between the quieter, more natural “residen-tial” side of the park closest to 12th street to the active urban side along Diagonal Boulevard. The atrium, a built structure with greenery within, serves to connect the two sides and provide a smoothe transition.

Forms found at the South Cove in Battery Park City (above) such as the maritime-reminiscent shade structures and lights informed this design. The Citygarden in St. Louis (below) inspired some programming elements and their size and relation to each other such as the lawn and natural areas and their connection with the plaza.

The park’s south entrance along Diagonal Boulevard features a bus stop which will entice people to enter. A shady grove of trees and seating provides a quieter alternative to the sunny, active main path that parallels the Boulevard and is flanked by gardens and the central feature of the park, a raised plaza and atrium.

A bird’s-eye view of the park in context with the proposed LEED-certified corporate buildings as well as the existing historic receiving building. Central Green’s design must reconcile the contrasting architectural types by using classic elements such as lawn, forested areas, and more formal plaza spaces to create something new and edgy that will become the most memorable public space in the Navy Yard.

Design Intent• Create an iconic form of Prosek with which the town

and word “Prosek” itself will be re-associated• Provide new cultural, recreational and entertainment

functions to bring people into Prosek• Create a memorable, dense, mixed-use development in

the center to unite the now-divided sides• Combine small scattered stores and offices into

complexes to act as transition zones between the existing local and new district zones of Prosek

• Connect these new complexes with streets to further connect the sides of Prosek

• Create calmer, more pedestrian-friendly streets• Provide a large underground parking lot• Strenthen the thresholds to improve the arrival

sequence • Establish a clear hierarchy of built forms, paths, and

spaces• Design a unique development that both stands out

from the rest of Prague yet is more united with it to engender community pride

• All new development will have the intent of environmental sustainability

Trotter’s Creek Master Plan

I created this presentation graphic to aid administrators at Kean University in Union, NJ in understanding the spatial, cultural, and environmental importance the creek plays in the campus’ landscape.

Trotter’s Creek Master Plan

These graphics were produced while using GIS software to extrapolate and analyze the Trotter’s Creek watershed, including how much impervious vs. pervious surfaces area as well as the landuses and their areas within the watershed boundary.

Canal Dock Custom Railing

Langan landscape architects and structural engineers designed this railing to evoke the maritime story of New Haven, CT, the site of this project. I drafted these details, and often trouble-shooted its design.

Columbia Avenue Connector

A new project at the firm involves creating a streetscape along Columbia Avenue in South Philly to provide an inviting path to the waterfront and Penn Treaty park. I surveyed the existing utilities using city plans, on-site observation, and Google Earth.
