Brooklyn Navy Yard
The Brooklyn Navy Yard is a shadow of its former self. My concept for redevlopment was to honor and reimagine the former industrial site. I took existing elements of the sites and abstracted what they were to the landscape. By doing this exercise I came up with four distinct landscapes that would serve as the context for the new Media Hub development. These four landscape types were Forest, Lawn, English Landscape, and Grassland.

The designs overarching goals arereducing food deserts, providinghealthy food for community residents,creating a low maintenance space,and providing habitat for pollinatorsand local wildlife. An asymmetrical
design was chosen to blend into thecommunity space, while providingnew movement paths within theneighborhood. The park provides anideal mix of seating, shade, and visualinterest.
The space is set up so that larger Grimes
Golden Apples trees line the exterior,and big Sweetheart Cherry trees linethe interior. Medium height Honey
Sweet Pears fill in the space betweenthese two species to create aundulating canopy height thatmaximizes the amount of sun that thefruit trees receive. Maximizing sunexposure maximizes the amount of fruitthat the trees will be able to produce,and provides a larger harvest yield.
Part of my design approach waseliminating grass which costs Baltimore760 dollars in maintenance per vacantlot. I used this budget instead for thepruning and cleanup of the fruit duringthe harvest season.

Park Connection Path
The NW Grama site is ideally positioned to connect Gwynns Falls park to Hanlon Park. This could potentially be one linkage in a larger Baltimore
green ring.

Professional Work
In the summer of 2012 I worked as a Landscape Architecture Intern for AMT Engineering in Rockville, Maryland. Most of the projects that I worked on are ongoing. Other than the CAD locator plan basemap for Gude Gardens all the work was my own.
