MLA 201 Ecological Urbanism Studio | Fall 2013
In an ecological urban design studio with John Roberts, we were asked to design a portion of the Petaluma watershed with both culturally and ecologically informed programmatic elements.This speculative design explored an industrial district of downtown Petaluma and strove to integrate the riparian and oak savannah landscapes within the urban fabric by extending the river floodplain corridor and overlaying multimodes of pedestrian and cycle circulation with floating and terrestial river walks.
