The Food Cooperative Solution
Project Location: The Ball Corporation, Muncie IN Historical Relevance: The Ball Jar was created here. Also, Muncie, IN is known for it’s industrious canning and food production operations in WWII. The corporation has relocated, leaving a park adjacent to the property.
Major Concepts: How it’s done: 1. A fruit orchard which can be visited by the public 1. Implemented permaculture principles for an on-site ethical and environmentally smart design 2. A nut orchard, doubling as a rotational goat 2. Restored historical practices for people to use to pasture better preserve and utilize their food production 3. Rehabilitated recreation trails to connect to 3. Acknowledged that this project will change and existing bicycle paths through the city adapt with the community, organically. 4. A schoolyard garden, for educational purposes 4. Highlight where production spaces are possible 5. Physical and economic links to existing community for further community growth. gardening projects within the city 5. Show the community members how to do it for themselves! 7

The map shown here was created to highlight the potential of open green spaces connected to high-yielding food growing practices. This was part of the research portion of my undergraduate thesis. I used GIS to map and obtain area of any potential space that people are capable (even if unorthodox) to grow upon. These are listed in the chart below. Then, each space was multiplied by a coefficient that was determined by different growing techniques. The most intensive growing method is capable of feeding far beyond the population of the city of Muncie Indiana! (For my project, I went with a slightly more conservative number, to be safe. )

Shown to the left is a residential development project that is currently under construction in San Francisco. It is located in the Dogpatch, along 3rd st and Tennessee. I had a hand in most phases of this project from 30% SD to 90% CD, offering production support, such as drafting, and modeling. Shown above are two custom BBQ’s and a planter-bench I designed and detailed for the 90% CD submittal. To the left is the Materials Plan, which I also spent a great amount of time editing and producing.

South Park, the oldest park in San Francisco, is a project currently being undertaken by Fletcher Studio. Their design includes updating the existing path, changing the way the water moves throughout the site, and updating site furnishing. The park itself is surrounded by small live-work developments and startups.
Parks and Recreation department is currently raising money for some of the custom designs Fletcher Studio has created to be installed, such as custom seatwalls along the path and the design of a custom play structure inspired by Miracle Play that adults could also enjoy the use of.
South Park has a very long history in the city and is supposed to be breaking ground in the early stages of 2015. The San Francisco
My role in this project was for the 30%, 60%, and 90% CD submittal to the city. I worked on the ADA plan, materials plan, electrical diagram and numerous construction details, as well as

the timeline shown above. This was created for a fundraiser for the park, and it details most of the park’s significant developments through history. Also shown above are the CAD plans that were part of some packages I helped to create for the office. Please inquire for more details.

This pool was modeled as a quick demonstration for a client to visualize a small water feature adjacent to the pool of a residential project in Southern California. The demonstration was created by taking a CAD drawing into SketchUp, conceptualizing in 3D, and simply exporting scenes. For my own practice, I later went in and tested rendering with Twilight Plugin, and then some minor Photoshop to better match colors and add entourage. This project was an extremely quick, but effective method of demonstrating in 3D.

This is a residential design project occuring in Southern California, for Randy Purnel Landscape Architecture. The office is located in Palm Desert, CA. This project’s location and name can be viewed upon it’s completion, but not at the present time. This pool is an example of Randy’s very modern style with design. The elements RPLA typically focuses on are hardscape and planting design, and the office does a little bit of public development work as well as high end residential design.

Communitecture, Inc. is located in Portland, OR. I interned here under the Architect Mark Lakeman, who is known in the city for the Village Building Convergence (VBC) Event, for “Last Thursday,� and for his permaculture design courses.

Under Mark’s supervision, I did primarily design/build work, site visits, and some small hand-rendering projects. The top image on this spread is an example of a project we worked on together. Shown is a six-foot colored pencil base map of the Beloved Music Festival land layout. This drawing is now the base of the brochures and maps for the festival, as of 2012.
During the 2012 Village Building Convergence, I helped create the Bird’s Nest, located at St. David’s of Wales Episcopal Church in SE Portland, which was the headquarters for the event. I also was a part of painting Share-ItSquare, planting Communitecture’s Food Forest, and building the Ujima Center’s Community Gardens.
The images directly above are the before and after shots of the Wood Stage at the Pickathon Music Festival. In two days, we rebuilt the stage from the image in the first photo to the second, and the festival was a great success.

Barrett Ecological is within the same office of Communitecture, Inc. I did a second internship here, under the landscape designer Leonard Barrett, who is currently doing consultation work as a designer. His primary focus was permaculture and ecological design in residential settings of Portland, OR.
Under Leonard’s supervision, I did primarily hand-rendering projects, like the one shown on the above, drafting, site visits and analysis, and small-scale design work. Leonard also offered me the opportunity to take Toby Hemenway’s PDC during that summer. 21
The U.S.S. Indianapolis Memorial design project was a group effort to redesign the dedicated location to the memory of a sinking ship. The project was done for our planting design studio, but also included features such as grade changes and material selection. Project partners were Corri Greschaw, Kevin Snyder, and Nicholas Troha. My part in this project was concept design, planting design, and the planting plan. Situation: This project is surrounded by the Vietnam War Memorial Mall, American Legion Buildings, and the Glick Peace Trail in Indianapolis. Many materials such as concrete and granite are used within them and would be great for bringing Seascape to life. This provides opportunities for our design proposal. The existing site lacks privacy and is often disrupted by the heavy traffic along Meridian Street. Standard “x-shaped� paths invoke no sense of circulation or contextual relationship. Although the existing site lacks a monumental feeling, and the new U.S.S. Indianapolis site will address this with a public space that Indy can enjoy. I. Goal: Fit the site into the adjacent context II. Goal: Enhance side of site that runs along Meridian Street III. Goal: Create a variety of different spaces within the site to add diversity IV. Goal: Create a space for reflection

tennis courts In the redesign of Mays Park of Anderson, IN, pieces have been added to improve the community interaction within the park. To increase safety, 10th street changed from a direct bisecting street into one that meanders to slow down car traffic. The land-use was developed as active in the southern end of the site and passive in the northern end of the site. The passive areas include a dog park, and playing hill. In the southern half of the site, an old skateboard rental shop was converted to a cafe with outdoor seating and a firepit. Surrounding that are community gardens for food and cutting flowers. To the southwest is a farmer’s market on weekends, and a community building with daycare the remainder of the week. The entire park is surrounded by a bike path to promote reduction of vehicular use.
