CENTER CITY
Due to the rise of the automobile half a century ago, the suburban archetype offers lower, detached density that is dependent on vehicular circulation. Urban identity calls for connectivity and density to enable a diverse, vibrant culture. Urban is a proven economic and social model through a variety of scales and time periods. The Navy Yard Masterplan can obtain an urban identity with the addition of a subway line extention._ a u t o c a d _ i l l u s t r a t o r_ p h o t o s h o p _ r h i n o

12 THE HYDROLOGY GARDEN / STATE COLLEGE, PA
In a redundant shopping center landscape with vast amount of impermeable surfaces, what happens if we re-think our definition of the “garden” in order to set the groundwork for a more ecologically performative landscape? This public space can collect, treat, store and re-use water, while becoming a monument to the hydrological process._autocad_photoshop_sketchup

Looking into the future, Francisville has the ability to provide the local population a way of living a healthy lifestyle with a sustainable view. With a rising urban population, green spaces in the city will be highly coveted and valuable, both ecologically and economically. People will live well by being able to grow and consume their own food._ a u t o c a d _ l a s e r c u t t e r_ p h o t o s h o p _ s k e t c h u p

20 VIA DEI CORONARI / ROME, ITALY
Many European cities present evident signs of crisis due to their inability to adapt to our rapidly changing society. Based on an ecological and morphological understanding of places and urban public spaces, we develop Rome as a paradigm of the European cities that are looking for sustainable development and site specific strategies._ i l l us t ra to r_pho toshop_rh ino

22 MUSIC COURTYARD / UNIVERSITY PARK, PA
Through the use of vegetation and landform, this spatial design expresses both a utilitarian and experiential function— accommodating pedestrian circulation and the opportunity to engage its users through contemplation. Using a grove of trees to represent the rhythm of music and undulating landforms to elicit the syncopation of off-beat tones, this design creates a place to relax and both listen and/or play music. _ a u t o c a d _ p h o t o s h o p
Undulating landform = unexpected sounds
Gridded trees = melodic rules + rhythm

The Penn State arboretum is planned for environmental conservation, focusing on flora, fauna, and water. The goal here is to create an inspiring “place” for learning and research on conservation. However, due to sink holes in a karst topography, this will be a noteworthy example of “ecological thinking” that links human activity in creative and responsible ways to the larger web of environmental systems._ i n k _ a u t o c a d _ p h o t o s h o p

This residential landscape design aims to create a private enclosure with enough open space for various activities. The balance of deciduous and coniferous plant species provides year-round vegetation that supports wildlife habitat and that is sun and shade tolerant. Native species include: flowering dogwood, paper birch, american holly, sweetbay magnolia and serviceberry._rh ino_ i l l us t ra to r_pho toshop

Hadrian’s Villa is an important cultural and archaeological site 18 miles outside of Rome. The Emperor Hadrian used this retreat getaway as a place to live, house his government and be secluded.
The design reflects centrality and revolving around one area─since this villa was once at the center of the imperial world._ a u t o c a d _ p h o t o s h o p
