HEY. My name is Chris Anderson. I am a Southern California native whose love of being and creating outdoors led me to pursue landscape architecture. Throughout my years in school my journey has broadened my interest both within the field of landscape architecture as well as design at large. I am eager to continue to expand my interests within the design profession and keeping the explorative mindset a key aspect of the process.

Second Year Design Course Site + Urban Design Team: Ivan F. Velazquez. Chado So. Diana Alacantra


Project Narrative Los Angeles State Historic Park is a central core within its surroundings, however it is enclosed and inaccessible. The current space is static and is used as a point of destination. The park does not effectively connect its inhabitants to the local systems and relationships that exist within a city. In a larger sense, the park cannot effectively serve the population of greater Los Angeles. The goal is to develop a space that breaks the mold of a site that is focused as a destination and redirects its purpose as being a centralized space that extends outward to meet ecological and anthropogenic systems. This space will no longer be a static, enclosed plot but yet a space that will serve means beyond its boundaries.This creation of an interrelated system that focuses on addressing both the cultural and ecological needs of that the site and it’s surroundings can work to better serve the population of the greater Los Angeles area. It is unbounded.

03. PIECE OF THE PUZZLE

Third Year Design Course Site Design Team: Corey Cameron, Seth van der Linden, Marinna Wagner


Project Narrative Piece of the Puzzle is a third year design project that explores the repurposing of decommisioned infrastructural systems. Our group sought to view the design of the Silverlake Reservior through the lens of Christopher Hawthorne’s 3rd LA that focuses on concentrated urban regions and the centralization of resources. In looking at both the site and regional context our intention was to provide a way for the Silverlake community to more effectively localize resources through a large scale aquaponics agricultural system. Additional efforts towards providing opportunities for stormwater management and the encouragement of pollinator habitats, as they remain a viable aspect of urban farming, while creating a space for the surrounding community to embrace.

IMPORTANCE OF POLLINATORS

city of los angeles

1,261 urban agricultural sites

pollinators, mainly bee’s and butterflies, pose an immense economic value. more than 70% of crops require the use of pollinators with 15-30% of all food consumed by a pollinator. additionally within the silver lake boundary these species are a crucial element for the community and school gardens, urban farms, and nursery spaces.

SYSTEMS DEPENDENT ON POLLINATORS many pollinators, including butterflies, are an important indicator species that signify healthy ecosystems. additionally many species are important elements within the food chain. for instance many species of butterflies and caterpillars are sources of food for bats, birds, and wasps. in silver lake, these pollinators become a main element of the surrounding community gardens, farms, and nurseries.

Fourth Year Design Course Site + Urban Design Team: Jeff Palmer, Max Lami, MaiHousa Vang, Eddy Mejia


Project Narrative Terminal Island located in the Port of Los Angeles is a site which manifests a legacy of incarceration, imprisonment, and social injustice. As an offering to the city, our group seeks to implement a design intervention which unbinds the site from what we see as inappropriate land use constraints, does not shy away from showing uncomfortable histories, and encourages exploration and interpretation of the space as a means of venerating the loss of freedoms.

phase one setting the stage for the site by incorporating qualities of density and light within the overstory + understory canopy while allowing and creating opportunities of land degratation to evolve overtime.

2

phase two encouragement of land degredation resulting from continued rising ocean tides. along with the evolution and enhancement of understory and overstory planting density and light quality.


SITE SUCCESSION scale: nts

a large component of the design focuses on accepting rising tidal changes. the site itself embraces degredation as a means to allow natural processes to overtime consume the site. throughout each phase the site circulation continues to exist as a means to allow users to access the site while controlling his or her interaction with the natural systems directly. the intention of the diagrams is to not display a timeline but an evolution of the site as it pertains to the surrounding natural systems and processes.

3

phase three depressed circulation now serves as a waterway throughout the site. tidal habitats extend from protected cove towards the edge conditions of the entire site while density of understory and overstory planting continues to take over the site.


05. 3 ERA DESIGN RD

Interdisciplinary Fourth Year Design Course Site Design Team: Seth van der Linden, Marco Magdolinos, Yuan Zhou


Project Narrative Located in Plano, Illinois is the historic Farnsworth House designed by Mies van der Rohe, a designer who prioritized the relationship of architecture and the surrounding context of the site, is currently being threatened by increasing flooding level. Third Era design focuses on expanding on the prrevious design phases that focused on expansive views, seasonal changes, and heightening one’s experience within nature while also creating a layer of function. The design focuses on the restoration of habitats for both plant and animal species that have been threatened by both increased flooding and rising chlorine levels in the Fox River that have resulted from rising urbanization levels. Topographic grading and manipulation became design tools that encouraged habitat development as well as flood protection for the Farnsworth House and visitor center while also creating an interactive user experience.

500 YEAR FLOODLINE 575’ Flooding Strategy

a major problem along the fox river is the frequency and intensity of flooding. the design responds to the flood levels by placing the farnsworth house and visitor center above the 500 year floodline and seeks to maintain circulation across the entire axis of the site during each period fo flooding.

Circulation Strategy

at grade circulation

within the 15-acre site there are two forms of circulation; above and at grade. elevated circulation pathways bring the user above and within the site while still respecting the emerging ecology of the site.



Spacial Renders + Physical Models

models and rendersprovide a sense of space that allows the user to seemingly be drawn along an experience that focuses on qualities of revealing and concealing both views and spaces.

07. EXPLORATIONS IN GRAPHIC DESIGN

Home Sweet Ocean Phos Studios


Overview My passion for graphic design grew out of the passion and opportunities that I found within landscape architecture. For me it became a way to continue to express my creativity in a manner that continued to parallel landscape design. These interests translated into opportunities to work alongside others to bring their visions into fruition including one of my own. It is this interest that I hope to continue to explore and offer within the professional workplace.



HOME SWEET OCEAN What began as an idea became an expression of my love for the ocean. Home Sweet Ocean is surrounded by the ideals that draw one to the ocean, our own personal place of home. Branding, digital design, physical fabrication, and production became tools that I was able to learn throughout the journey in developing this lifestyle brand.
