VOICE OF THE KANKAKEE
wetland destruction awareness
ARCH 172
Voice of the Kankakee brings attention to wetland destruction through the design of a boardwalk, which uses the original curved shape of the Kankakee river to contrast with the current conditions of the unnaturally straightened river. This project involved the design of the boardwalk along with an informational brochure that helps explain the boardwalk to visitors.

CASA PUEBLO: BOSQUE DE SOLAR
The Bosque de Solar was a collaboarative group project with Casa Pueblo and the Univeristy of Illinois. This involved the development of a community space for the town of Adjuntas that would be an addition to already present Bosque de Solar «Solar Forest». As part of the group project, I developed plans for utilizing green spaces to connect the two sites.
