My first time designing a building I realised the relationships of floors in a build-ing and how they relate to one another allong a verticle plane. The project used a parti wall as a backbone and living wall for residents in the center city of Genoa.

Rosetta and similar cities long situated on water, environmental vulnerabilities are increasingly related to changes in water levels from climate change, and to their historic and contemporary posi-tions along water resources that are especially linear. Change and development strategies are embodied within a corridor joining water and city.

The corridor provides ecological solutions related to climate change, agricultural enhancement, environmental restoration, economic diversification, appropriate technology, green infrastructure, education, identity for the City of Rosetta.

Renovated civic plazas, market streets, recreational and transportation plazas and social service buildings with access to the city’s natural beauty enhance civic life, attract economic development and serve as icons for Rosetta’s civic identity.

Combination hydraulic/road Infrastructure along the Nile edge protects one of the most important historic mosques in the region and the buried Hellenistic/Roman city of Polpiteen that are vulnerable to erosion and increased water levels from climate change.

Floyd and Patrick Count, Vir-giniaFloyd and Patrick County, Virginia

From research to designing: the idea was to bring tourism dollars to two small rural counties in Virginia. GIS was a great tool that defined the way we designed. The design used existing features and required no increase in infrastructure to bring people off of the blue ridge parkway and into the counties.

One of our primary objectives for our proposed network of cultural and historical routes was to encourage visitors to get off the Blue Ridge Parkway, into Floyd and Patrick Counties, exploring all the local charm that these communities have to offer. The concept of un-intimidating, convenient routes displaying the counties’ amenities quickly emerged, with the object of attracting the attention of visitors along the Parkway and providing a gateway to the system of routes throughout the adjacent counties. In order to determine the suitability for our desired county wide routes, we developed a series of parameters, the first being the individual type of attraction (i.e. wineries, stone churches, etc.). We designed these routes to utilize existing structures as well as major roads and thoroughfares. The second was using the interstates and highways so it will allow visitors to come from longer distances as well as being able to explore the attractions deep within the counties. By sharing the interstates and using the counties’ local roads and amenities the routes’ suitability displays a balance between tourists from outside the counties as well as the counties’ community members.

I worked for the City of Greenville, SC rewriting the landscape ordinance, developing a checklist of the ordinance, and creating standard details for use in submitting for plan reviews.

The following is a brief overview of the City of Greenville’s Landscape Ordinance. Details of the
Ordinances are available HERE and should be referred to prior to submitting for site grading permits.
1. The City of Greenville Landscape Ordinance applies to all property within the City except single family homes. 2. A site plan is required, with tree inventory, detailing species size and location of existing trees. This plan shall indicate any trees that are desired to be removed. 3. A landscape plan indicating future plantings of trees is required. This plan should also include the total acreage of the property, the tree credits required by the ordinance, the credits that have been earned, and the details of all mathematical calculations. 4. Each site must preserve or plant a minimum of 15 tree credit units per acre. Credits are awarded by saving existing trees or by planting trees (3" caliper minimum). A chart detailing the values of such trees is located in the Administrative Manual. 5. No trees in the public property shall be cut, damaged, harmed or pruned without the approval of the City of Greenville 6. Heritage Trees (20" dia. at 4 ½' above ground) or Historic Trees (30" dia. at 4 ½' above ground) located within any setback shall have the following protection:
A. Shall not be cut, removed, pushed over, killed, harmed, trimmed, sprayed, or destroyed without approval by the Parks and Recreation Department.
B. The CRZ (Critical Root Zone) of Historic or Heritage Trees will be protected as specified in the ordinance.
C. Permits for trimming, removing or replacing Heritage or Historic Trees can be obtained by contacting the Parks and Recreation Department.

Connect-ing Aiken through Walking, Biking and Horseback
Connecting Aiken through Walking,
Biking and Horseback riding
By: Nathan NewsomFall 2009
Over time the streets of Aiken have shared a variety of transportation options but now streets are only for automobiles. As Aiken looks to be a model city it needs to consider alternative means of transportation looking at walking, biking and horseback riding. Streets can be changed to give equal weight to different means of transportation.

Projecto El Purga-torio: Cas-ma, PeruProjecto El Purgatorio:
Casma, PeruSummer 2007
I participated in an independent study in Peruvian anthropology. We studied the Casma Polity and archeology then went to Casma, Peru and worked on an archeological dig. I worked alongside a Peruvian topographer shooting data points of the remaining architecture scattered around the site. I then took and created maps of the site.

Influences and inspiration come from a variety of places. Experiences both good and bad have influenced me and shaped the way I design and perceive the world. I had the
opportunity to see and experience many places in my time at school. I have learned more than just what books and professors can teach. I have learned part of life.
