Creek Walk Renovation Proposal | Design Project
Convergent Syracuse, NY
Landscape Architecture Design Studio I | Fall 2018 Atlantic State Legal Foundation | KaBOOM
The design vision sought to connect the two existing natural lands, Woodland Reservoir and Harbor Brook, by implementing series of nature patches along the blocks. These patches are then connected by rain gardens along the streets. The nature patches are individual site designs that incorportate the idea of children playing in nature, and ecological education. They serve as self sustaining ecosystems, but in a smaller scale compared to the two existing natural lands, which don’t require crucial maintainence. The twelve week studio project included regional inventory
and
analysis,
concept
modeling,
diagramming, and master planning. The project first started with the site designs and gradually developed towards the big picture. 6

Site selections for the natural patches were based on the topography and water flow. These sites either follow gradual slopes, where water flows directly downhill, or steep slopes, where the water can be introduced from an angle and accumilate in an area in the site. Both kinds of landscapes will develop individual design intervention.

Subtract
The vacant lots were selected based on their location and ability to form a connection between two existing natural landscapes, while eliminating the ones that don’t follow that strategy, or out of range.
Extrude
Forge the select vacant lots into a place with spatial dynaimc by re-grading the existing topography to shape the landscape.
Create
Shape the landscape into natural patches that allow children play in nature, while functioning as a natural ecosystem.
Connect
Connect the existing landscapes with natural patches, which are connected by rain gardens along the streets.

These stained glass lamp posts not only improve the aesthetic of Hanover Square, they create a small gathering place by dividing Hanover Square into a sidewalk, road and a small park place.
This project originated as a studio wide collabrated booklet. It includes analysis, precedent research and public art suggestions that were presented to the Syracuse Public Art Commission. In the final phase of the booklet, each student was tasked to find two places that have the potential to place public art in Syracuse. This includes what form of public art would be appropriate to be placed in order to improve the quality of the space and transform it into a functional place.

The transect between SUNY ESF and Syracuse University captures an important architectural design move on campus; the walk from one end is intended to lead you directly to the Hendricks chapel. It also adopts the ideas of “crisp” and “fuzzy.” The “crisp” elements of the hardscape and the “fuzzy” aspects of the vegetation creates a conversation that illustrates the site in its entirety.

Hybrid Topography Foundation Design Studio II | Spring 2018
Model making with chipboards thoroughly explored the essentials when considering topography and contours. Each student in studio created a contour model. These models were randomly arranged and assembled into a large terrain, with different empty slots left open. Each student was then assigned a spot, whom then created a slot model that would fill in their gap. Design techniques of these rectangular models were inspired by the surrounding contour models.

The project learning outcome was to design a space that provided a memorable and meaningful experience. In my slot model, two connected open spaces were carved out on the longitudinal side of the model to connect the dune of the adjacent terrain. These two open spaces allow people to explore underneath the lower ledge as dry and safe caves with enough sunlights penetrate into it. The two ledges were split up to create a long canyon, which allow people experiencing the feeling of being restricted between two walls. People can choose to either climb up to the higher ledge or walk their way up through the slope to reach the lower ledge. Once people reach either ledge, they experience a vast open atmostphere which overlooks the entire terrain from a high elevation.

Neighborhood Park Digital Methods and Graphics II | Spring 2018
The objective of this assignment was to learn how to use AutoCad and generate a set of technical construction documents, such as planting schedule, site dimensions and gradings for a non-existing design project. This assignment demostrates basic techniques of working with AutoCad. Skills obtained from this assignment include: Producing 2D wireframe drawings, managing layers and annotation styles, working with blocks, and creating external references.

Creek Walk Renovation Proposal Downtown Syracuse, NY
Foundation Design Studio II | Spring 2018 The vision of the creek walk renovation proposal sought to reinforce certain goals that the current creek walk isn’t able to achieve. 1- Improve circulation of the two streets, (W Fayette St and Walton St). 2- Benefit creek health by creating more greenspaces, as well as increasing the awareness of creek health by the public. 3- Improve creek access. This diagram of Syracuse describes the existing creek walk (solid line) and the creekwalk renovation idea (dash line). People gain access to the creek walk by approaching on the softscape (greenspaces) and enter the creek walk from the street. The red dash areas represent traffic streets, which allow part of the creek walk turn into a bridge that’s parallel to the sidewalk, and connects to the street across. These areas also turn the pathway into stairs (as seen in section cuts), which allow people to gather as they experience the creek walk.
