PROJECT SCOPE: Urban Infill of Existing Parking Lot and Salvation Army to include apartments, commercial retail, hotel, office space, outdoor recreation and performance space. Analysis of existing microclimate and cultural / historical significance of site within context Urban reforesting concept inspired by Cuyahoga National Park and made modern to better tie into existing urban context within downtown Cleveland Essence of neighboring “Playhouse Square” brought into site through axial design that ties performance space and performing arts charter school into context

SPRING CREEK WATERSHED PROJECT TYPE AND LOCATION Masterplanning for Climate-Induced Human In-migration| 2nd Year Masterplanning Studio Centre County, Pennsylvania
PROJECT SCOPE: GIS analysis and masterplanning urban and recreational development to maximize use of spring creek watershed while maintaining qualities that draw people to the area. GIS analysis of people being relocated due to rising sea levels in coastal New Jersey and existing climate and culture within the Spring Creek watershed Natural areas buffer watershed from effects of climate change and provide public recreational amenities through trails, and trout fisheries Located optimal locations for urban and recreational development to maximize health and usage of natural amenities while accounting for population growth and food security

TRIBORO GATEWAYS PROJECT TYPE AND LOCATION Placemaking and Water System Health| 3rd Year Design Studio Etna and Sharpsburg, PA
PROJECT SCOPE: Design a set of gateways for the Boroughs of Etna and Sharpsburg in Pittsburgh, PA to provide sense of place and implement pedestrian safety measures. GIS and On-Site Analysis of water system health and traffic issues surrounding sites Community-driven design process through community design charettes and borough official meetings Culture of people brought in through use of placemaking art by local artists and traffic-calming initiatives that make the space accessible and usable for community events

STREAM DECHANNELIZATION FOR RIVER HEALTH Analysis and Concept Through a series of community design charrettes and meetings along with analysis through site visits and GIS mapping, I was able to locate opportunity areas within my two gateway sites. The study of land-use, traffic volume and flood zones helped me decide my primary focus areas and user groups.
Primary Pedestrian Circulation
Surrounding Land Use
Traffic Volume
Flooding On-Site
A series of traffic calming safety measures made the site more personal to the people of Sharpsburg and Etna and made it Pedestrian Safe. The stormwater on-site provided an educational amenity through revelatory stormwater design as well as stream de-channelization that filtered pollutants while giving the community access to the water.

Q Q
SEASONAL AND ECOLOGICAL BENEFITS Rain Garden Palette
Short & Tall Mesic Meadow Palette
Short & Tall Prairie Meadow Palette
The Rain Garden was placed in the location with naturally lowest grade to limit the need for regrading
Mesic Meadow Planting placed along inner-most parts of meadow to encourage users to stop and spend time in the centralized seating nodes during the warmer seasons.
Prairie Meadow Planting placed on outskirts to provide seasonal interest during winter months, as users typically use the more direct paths located along the outer edges of the Meadow during colder seasons
