After previous plans fell short, the Lincoln Parks and Recreation department engaged the Studio to restart the design process. On a tight timeline with an outgoing mayor, the Studio organized a charrette to help the City committee articulate its goals and some of the roadblocks that had been hindering progress. Over the course of three days, we worked through many iterations of design elements, spatial organization, and compromises with property owners to arrive at a workable preferred plan.

Trail User Objectives
14
Creating trails in terms of user objectives means establishing a common language in describing these factors. Trail users, land managers, and trail builders don’t always use the same terms to describe trail features, and terms that mountain bikers use to describe desired trail user objectives can be confusing to noncyclists—terms like “flowy” and “rowdy” not only mean different things to different riders, but they may be completely misinterpreted by land managers and trail builders. This document seeks to break down trail user objectives into a set of defined terms to better describe a trail experience. Each term can be imagined as on a spectrum, low to high, poor to excellent, none to total.
16
Trail User Objectives
Description
Nature
Connection to nature. This can be anything from being among a few trees in the middle of the city to remote backcountry. Nature is an important factor for many riders.
Escape
Something that takes you away from your daily grind, allows you to get lost in the experience of riding. Often means getting away from the urban environment, but a bike park, even indoors, can provide this as well.
Solitude
Getting away from the urban environment and people; being active, alone, and quiet in the outdoors.
Challenge
Seeking to improve technical abilities, to solve a difficult problem, “clean” a trail feature or segment; sense of accomplishment.
Risk
Exposure to danger, harm, or loss; intentional interaction with uncertainty. The perception of risk creates a thrill for many trail users. It can be a positive or negative part of the trail experience, depending on user expectations and risk tolerance.
Fun
Amusing or enjoyable experience. When you are trying to build fitness and/or skill, you may do many rides without “fun” being a primary objective. Ideally, one doesn’t have to sacrifice fun for challenge or exercise.
Play/Playfulness
Engaging in the activity purely for the enjoyment, bringing a childlike wonder to the pursuit, no destination. On a trail, this often means seeking features to enhance, alter the experience, rather than simply riding from point to point. Playfulness is a hugely important characteristic in mountain bike trails, and distinguishes trail experiences from many other trail user goals (hikers, equestrians).
Primary Experience Factors
14
Bike-optimized trails, designed and constructed to maximize the fun and efficiency of riding a bike, enhance trail experiences specifically for mountain bikers that might differ from traditional trails in several ways: enhanced tread shaping, directional or one-way travel, and the use of man-made technical trail features (MMTTF).
14
Mountain bikes move differently along a trail than other modes; the movement of the wheels, the use of gravity and friction, and the transfer of energy from the rider to the drive train all offer both opportunities and constraints for trails and trail features not sought after by other users. For instance, berms take advantage of the motion and momentum of the bike, keeping rider forces perpendicular to the tread surface, changing direction in a manner most efficient and least likely to cause soil displacement. Most important for the rider experience is that the feeling of riding a berm is exhilarating and playful.
DRAFT SCHEMATIC BIKE EXPERIENCE TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN Exercise
Health and fitness are part of the sport. For some this is a primary goal, for others a bonus, for some an obstacle. Defining the physical fitness needed for a particular ride is important in setting user expectations appropriately. Recognition that some riders have high skill and low fitness (and vice versa) plays a role in trail planning.
Variety
Multiple trail options, diversity of experience within a trail or trail system. Variety should be in several forms, where possible: skill, features, surface, setting, grade, etc. While all the trails within a system may have a particular feel based on its environmental factors, it can still have variety within those constraints. Also possible at the regional level to provide variety of experiences if limited opportunities exist within a particular system.
CONCRETE SHARED USE PATH
REINFORCED EARTH AND WOOD TRAIL
Connectivity
Series of loops and/or trail segments linked by other trails or transportation routes. Allows for a customized experience, change of plans, adding on to a ride. Also allows for riders of different fitness or skill level to begin rides together.
Socializing
Provides a shared experience and enhances safety for riders. Mountain biking is often a social activity.
Safety/Security
This could range from trailhead security for parking to personal safety unrelated to recreational use.
Efficiency
Getting to a destination or accomplishing a task with the least amount of time or effort expended. Road climbs are very efficient, as are trails that ascend directly to a destination. Efficiency sometimes means compromising sustainability and fun/play. Hiking trails tend to be much more efficient than biking trails.
DIRT/GRAVEL TRAIL
A hiker or equestrian cannot take advantage of a berm; indeed, these users may find them difficult to negotiate without slipping and more obtrusive in the landscape than a switchback or at-grade turn. For hikers, equestrians, and other trail users, MMTTF designed for mountain bikers can seem unnecessary at the very least and could create safety concerns. Identifying appropriate locations for these features on shared-use or preferred-use trails should consider all users.
14
4
Whether a bike-optimized trail is shared, preferred, or single use depends on several factors: recreation activity opportunities, ability to yield, speed, and level of use. As in the example of user experience in a bermed turn, a shared-use, bike-optimized trail would need to provide a flat area through the turn for other users—a hybrid-style turn often referred to as a “switchberm” to accommodate multiple user modes.

Disassembly as Reassembly: Undamming the Klamath as a Hybrid Restoration Practice
LOCATION: Copco, CA COURSE:
Masters Thesis
ADVISOR:
Professor Brian Davis
YEAR:
2015-2016
This proposal re-choreographs the decommissioning process for one of the four Klamath dams so that its selectively timed disassembly can mobilize and demobilize sediment trapped in the reservoir to generate desired landscape conditions. This subtractive design process produces a residual structure that makes way for a new rural public space. As the dams come down, the land exposed from the reservoirs is administered by a cooperative of government and local stakeholders. A tool palette of traditional and contemporary land management practices is used to manage the landscape for social and ecological health. The act of working on the land is an opportunity to know the landscape. The project reimagines the meanings of both public space and public land in a rural context to better acknowledge the hybrid qualities of rural landscapes. 22 | AMELIA JENSEN

DISASSEMBLY AS REASSEMBLY SITE AXONOMETRIC
The hydroelectric infrastructure is transformed into an infrastructure that provides access to the water, engagement with historical artifacts, and space for ritual events and practices including fishing. The remaining dam structure becomes a space for both visitors and locals to gather. The dam site and its relationship with the former reservoir is a new way of articulating the hybrid landscape that has always existed in this place. It becomes a space of powerful and unexpected juxtapositions. Fine local materials like columnar basalt blocks and juniper decking are combined with repurposed materials from the demolition, like concrete rubble, and new and refined materials like steel. All of these contrast with raw loose sediment and the remaining structure of the dam, which disintegrates over time. In the drained reservoir, a combination of indigenous, local, and federal land management practices is employed, including the use of prescribed burning, traditional horticultural management practices, grazing livestock and wild game, harvesting, hunting, and fishing. These practices result in a set of valuable outcomes including access to abundant natural resources for subsistence and income, tourism revenue, and new and renewed cultural opportunities. This site becomes a nexus for the watershed, creating a space and a landscape around which a rural public must define itself. It becomes a catalyst for shifting the conversation about water and land resources in the basin.

DISASSEMBLY AS REASSEMBLY Traditional restoration offers some useful tools and knowledge, but its discourse of excluding humans from the landscape, and its tendency to conceptualize these landscapes as degraded, run counter to the goals of this project. Instead, the landscape must be understood as hybrid, shaped by natural systems, by the trapping of sediment by the dam, and also by the process of dam removal. Existing plant communities and traditional ecological knowledge point to configurations of plants which support desirable fauna, or which produce products useful or valuable to humans. Plants that support human health and cultural well-being are prioritized, along with plant communities that support animals critical to human well-being, like salmon, deer, and cattle. These planting and management strategies would be weighed, balanced, tested, reinterpreted, and altered by the cooperative of local stakeholders based on the collective needs of the community. Certain uses and management strategies are confined to particular zones. In the uppermost zone, for instance, cattle grazing is confined by steep slopes to keep cows from disturbing sensitive waterways below. Prescribed burning also takes place in this zone, but avoids the time period when grazing is occurring.

This project compared the industrial, urban rivers of São Paulo, Brazil and Buenos Aires, Argentina through mapping and analysis of spatial conditions, focusing on the confluence of water quality, flood control, and public space. The cleanup and management of urban rivers stands as one of the great tasks currently facing societies around the globe. Urban waterfronts and rivers are the site of much historical industrial development, some of the most important and sensitive ecological zones, and a wide range of human settlements which often simultaneously include the most desirable and the most vulnerable populations. They powerfully unite legacies of economic growth, social injustice, toxicity, and environmental degradation. I conducted research in three languages, completed translation, writing & synthesis, and collaborated on data visualization and mapping using QGIS, Rhino, Grasshopper, and Illustrator. 32 | AMELIA JENSEN

Várzeas & Piscinões: River Landscapes of São Paulo
CO-AUTHOR: São Paulo, Brazil Professor Brian Davis, Cornell University YEAR: 2015
Based on our ongoing research into São Paulo’s river landscapes, Professor Brian Davis and I co-authored and presented a peer-reviewed paper at the Dumbarton Oaks 2015 Garden and Landscape Studies Symposium. The paper places São Paulo’s piscinões - massive stormwater detention basins - in the longer historical context of human settlement and urbanization of the Alto Tietê basin and its várzeas, or floodplains. Throughout its history, São Paulo’s rivers can be understood as borderlands: places where dynamic processes of cultural encounter, exchange, invention, and destruction occur in a context of highly asymmetrical power relations.

Floodplain Inversion: Finding Room for the River, Cleaning Water for the City
LOCATION: São Paulo, Brazil COURSE:
LA 4010
ADVISOR:
Professor Brian Davis, Cornell University
YEAR:
2015
As an extension of my research with Professor Brian Davis into the river landscapes of São Paulo, he developed a studio around piscinões: large urban basins designed to store excess water during floods. There is a tension in São Paulo between extreme drought in the water supply, and severe flooding during the rainy season. The city of 20 million reaches outside the watershed for water, while its excess water is captured in the inverted floodplain of the piscinões and then whisked downstream in concrete channels. This design reinterprets a piscinão as both hydrological and cultural infrastructure. In average flows, water moves through the upper pools and channels, being cleaned by floating wetland technology. When flows are high, water spills over the edges, creating temporary waterfalls that draw crowds to the elevated boardwalks. Stormwater then infiltrates into the basin, recharging the aquifer. 38 | AMELIA JENSEN

Tidal Futures: Engaging Environmental Productivity in an Uncertain Landscape

ADVISOR:
Professor Peter Trowbridge
YEAR:
2014
Impending sea level rise and escalating storm threats require that the low-lying landscape of Staten Island’s East Shore begin a long-term transition to a new urban paradigm. The powers that continuously shape and reshape this coastline can be harmful or dangerous; however, if we reconceptualize those forces as allies in the protection of neighborhoods and the resilience of landscapes, we can harness their potentials to achieve the goals and desires of the community. In this light, the swelling of the ocean is not a threat, but a force for power generation; the raging of the wind can build dunes and beaches; invasive reed grasses can be combined with food scraps and sewage sludge to produce compost for nourishing gardens and parks; a major storm can be employed to quickly generate an entirely novel ecological and cultural landscape.

NEW MEXICO HIGHLANDS PROJECT:
New Mexico Highlands University 2017 Master Plan Update
CLIENT:
New Mexico Highlands LOCATION: University Las Vegas, NM FIRM:
studioINSITE
YEAR:
2017
studioINSITE prepared a master plan for New Mexico Highlands University several years earlier, and after a round of budget challenges and changes to enrollment, the plan needed an update.
I worked with our planning team to identify priority projects, property acquisitions, land use changes, and landscape strategies to help NMHU navigate challenges while addressing their most pressing needs. I prepared diagrams, master plans, and plan renderings of key campus nodes for landscape enhancement.

BLACKSTONE PARKLETS PROJECT:
Blackstone Parklet Visualization
CLIENT:
GreenSlate Development
LOCATION: Omaha, NE FIRM:
studioINSITE
YEAR:
2017
For a local development company, I designed, modeled and completed quick conceptual renderings for a series of parking space parklet concepts. This block of Farnam Street has recently been redeveloped as the Blackstone District, with dozens of shops, restaurants, and bars drawing many visitors. To provide more outdoor space for patrons on narrow sidewalks, the developer was interested in exploring the idea of creating parklets in the parallel parking spaces along the street.
I created several iterations of the parklet concept and arranged them on the street to complement existing businesses. I used a simple technique of merging SketchUp model views with site photographs to create quick and inexpensive visualizations of the concepts.

ENERGIZE MANTUA supports residents in investing energy in their neighborhood to generate economic growth by localizing and managing resource flows. Vacant properties are transformed into Incubators and spin-off initiatives that provide opportunities for community engagement and economic growth. This community-scale effort creates jobs, improves access to produce, and generates safe open spaces which activate the neighborhood physically, socially, and economically. A slow, steady approach to development accounts for the unpredictability of the future and gives the community the tools it needs to adapt and continue to grow.
