for

Tennessee ASLA Award of Honor 2014 | Master’s Thesis Knoxville, TN

Urban landscapes have evolved over time to suit the needs of various, and sometimescompeting priorities of growing cities. As a result there have been increases in the adverse physical, mental and social conditions amongst urban populations such as obesity, asthma, anxiety and hypertension. This project explores how the redevelopment of blighted and under-utilized landscapes may be used as a method to mitigate or overcome these challenges posed by contemporary urban environments and the lifestyles they facilitate. The forgotten landscapes created by transportation infrastructure and industrial corridors of Downtown Knoxville can provide nearby communities a new connection to health through performance landscapes.

Guiding Principles

Ecology of a healthy community Fragmented landscapes offer an opportunity for redesign and can help to counteract the open space and nature deficiencies found in the urban context. The ecology of a healthy community is as complex as it is connected. The Guiding Principles provide a strategy for implementation that leverages a holistic approach to design. The site’s ecology focuses on five key elements: Nature, Activity, A Sense of Place, Performance & Stewardship and Arts & Culture. Theses elements are a further refinement of prior objectives and encompass what I believe to be the center of the park’s principle goals. Design concepts were developed and structured around these principles to provide a well-rounded space for various user groups. The variables of lifestyle, environment and access to these components all play important roles in how individuals approach health. Academic

Urban Tree Farm

Environment & Stewardship

The ridge and valley strata of East Tennessee exacerbates the poor air quality of Knoxville by trapping particulates and pollutants within city limits which is located in a valley. The Urban Tree Farm illustration identifies the species use and rotation plan to aid in cleaning the air and also provide the city a tree program. This program cycles trees every 6-8 years and then disburses the trees throughout the city of Knoxville. A tree’s highest carbon sequestration period is during its younger years as the leaf sizes and vitality are heightened. These tree species were chosen by their native classification and level of sequestration, offering the highest environmental impact for the surrounding areas.

Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Respiration from plants and soil microbes and the decomposition of biological material returns CO2 to the atmosphere, as do human activities, mainly from burning fossil fuels.

Park paths are all pervious allowing for intake of storm water runoff. The central path acts as flow control for the site, directing water to an on site detention pond.

Systems & Processes

CO 2 Sequestration & Stormwater

The site rests at the base of the Second Creek Watershed which empties into the Tennessee River. Highly contaminated and off limits to human contact, this park provides a space for holding and filtration of runoff before being released back into the watershed.

Host to Knoxville’s historic milling and textile industries, Second Creek is currently surrounded by industrial zones, mixed retail and historic residential neighborhoods. ‘Happy Holler’ on Central Avenue is a neighborhood that is a crossroads for storm water and community. Its character is eclectic with a heavy art scene moving in. The residents vary in occupation making this a melting pot of artists, community leaders and academics from nearby schools. Interests in regenerating the local economy are increasing with new ‘locally’ owned businesses moving in. The retail potential is high, along with current vacancies. Together with the Metropolitan Planning Commission, this project looks at storm water filtration and community education through the implementation of bioswale streetscapes; connecting people to the source. communit y

Second Creek Corridor Greenway proposal

Second Creek has been flanked by various industries for centuries including Railway Operations, Metal Recycling andTextile Mills. Due to its proximity to the rail line and century old industrial operations, the natural environment near the creek has largely been destroyed. Redevelopment of underutilized properties offers the potential to create streamside natural areas that can absorb and filter storm runoff and enhance water quality. The Assets of the Second Creek Corridor are its proximaty to several neighboring communities, commericial locations and the various vacant lots. As another transportation route, this greenway can serve as an opportunity to connect neighborhoods and establish a thoroughfare for bikers and walkers, relieving automobile congestion. The overall concept is to connect, remediate, and stimulate the economy of the areas in and around the Second Creek Corridor.

Bioswale Street Park: section a

The Central Avenue Corridor is centered amongst commercial, industrial and residential zones with very little pervious surfaces. To capture the excessive amounts of run off due to impervious surfaces, the bioswale streetscape aims at capturing and holding the first inch of rainfall.

Total holding capacity of each bioswale is

27,156 GALLONS OF H20.

Filtering the equivalent of 7,200 Cubic feet of runoff before it ever reaches Second Creek.

Corner Sculpture Park Happy Holler opens its doors every year to celebrate the eclectic and unusual with their annual ‘HollerPalooza’ festival. It draws large crowds to celebrate its charm and character as well as introduce new artists to the Knoxville scene. The corner park provides a platform for artists to showcase new work as part of a rotating exhibition. From sculptors to graffiti artists, the park features multiple locations for various mediums. During the many holiday and street festivals, the park becomes a place to sit and enjoy the local food fare, hold vendor tents or an evening movie. The material inspirations are a fusion of soft and industrial with the use of native plants, and raw textures of concrete and corten steel.

Tennessee ASLA Award of Honor 2013 | Fall Norris, TN

Along with the PlanET, an advisory council comprised of local community members, and local representatives from the Metro Planning Commission, a team of landscape architecture and architecture students worked together to develop a thirty year vision for the Highway 61 corridor. The 5 person team focused on three guiding principles: 1. Develop a sense of place and community. 2. Create a base for economic growth 3. Encourage ecological principles. Each student honed in on segments of the corridor. This collection of work represents the core, and primary focus of the study. It is the final interpretation designed and rendered by teammates Amanda Gann and myself. This demonstration project explores the densification of the core while being mindful of the current habitat.

Site Analysis

Following an extensive study of the corridor, our team focused on the restoration of Buffalo Creek, preservation of current ecologies, and development of nodes centered on preserving the pastoral quality throughout the master planning process. To foster a sense of community, clusters of buildings surrounding green space provided the public areas for gathering and recreation. The clustering of buildings supported the goal of providing space for economic growth. Careful attention was paid to the topography and watershed of each site as we planned the placement and integration of buildings on the site.

Xeriscape Entrance design. Once strictly seasonal color, this entrance was constantly run over by trucks and the watering restrictions made it increasingly difficult to maintain Budweiser standards. This design was the first of many more toward a more water conscious and drought tolerant campus for Budweiser.

Georgia experienced severe drought conditions between 2006 and 2008. During this time, I created a drought tolerant/xeriscape program for BrickmanAtlanta as a way to mitigate the harsh conditions in the summer and maintain client expectations. This principle of working with conditions instead of against them, strengthened my interest for more interesting and sustainable designs. Image taken immediately following installation.

2014 Knoxville, Atlanta & D.C.

The Eastside Trail is the first constructed segment of the Atlanta BeltLine, an adaptive reuse of a 22-mile corridor of abandoned railroad right-of-way that once served thriving industry at the city’s interior. Currently the only built segment of this transformative project, consisting of 2.25 miles of multi-use trails and a future light rail transit line, this segment of the corridor has catalyzed urban redevelopment along the immediate edges of the trail. The Eastside Trail provides a prime location for exercise and recreation while connecting to existing public spaces, such as Piedmont Park, and new parks developed as part of the Atlanta BeltLine, such as, the Historic Fourth Ward Park. It has evolved to become a vibrant setting for community building, volunteer activities, sports, and philanthropic events such as charity races and walks.

new large scale developments: -Multi-residential -Retail -Commercial

The purpose of this research is to investigate the social, economic and environmental performance of the Atlanta BeltLine’s Eastside Trail located in Atlanta, Georgia. As part of the 2014 Case Study Investigation (CSI), a program funded by the Landscape Architecture Foundation (LAF), the research is conducted in collaboration with the lead design firm Perkins + Will and Atlanta BeltLine Incorporated.


Landscape Performance Benefits 1: Removed 1,700 tons of contaminated soil from the corridor during site preparation, which has since been deposited at a Class I landfill. 2: Sequesters approximately 24.5 tons of CO2 each year in the more than 600 trees planted along the Eastside Trail. 3: Attracts an average of 3,000 users each weekday and over 10,000 users on each weekend day for running, walking, and cycling. 4: Creates a greater sense of community for 94% of the 102 surveyed trail users. 5: Promotes physical activity. 90% of 100 trail users surveyed said that the trail provides them with an active lifestyle benefit. 70% of surveyed respondents said that they exercise more since the opening of the Eastside Trail. 6: Helps catalyze economic development with more than $638 million in new private real estate investment planned or underway within the portion

of the Atlanta BeltLine Tax Allocation District (TAD) that surrounds the Eastside Trail. This is part of the $1 billion of investment already on the ground within the entire Atlanta BeltLine TAD. 7: Generates funding in support for 52 affordable housing units located directly on the Eastside Trail that is aided by 15% of net Tax Allocation District bonds reserved for the BeltLine Affordable Housing Trust Fund. $8.8 million has been capitalized in this fund, administered by Invest Atlanta to help mitigate involuntary displacement. 8: Helped stimulate the creation of public open spaces adjacent to the Eastside Trail such as, the 17.5 acre Historic Fourth Ward Park, and the Historic Fourth Ward Skatepark. 9: 54 new jobs have been created through the establishment of the Atlanta BeltLine Incorporated (ABI) and the Atlanta BeltLine Partnership, a direct result of the development of the entire BeltLine project.
