re-purposing big box for a sustainable future Professor Tim Baird State College, PA Fall 2012
Problem: Vacancy amongst big box retail stores is a growing issue in suburban areas. Oversized single use parking lots leave acres of impervious surfaces producing vast quantities of nonpoint source pollution. From here the nonpoint source pollution is then making its way into our streams, polluting habibtats + diminishing water quality.

Two overarching goals of this project were to re-envision the contemporary idea of a garden + design with a singular connective act uniting the artistic manipulation of materials + site systems with the technical expertise to produce built landscapes. The site is an ever-present shopping center + the charge was to create a garden that is part civic infrastructure + part monument to the movement of water.

The hydrology garden captures stormwater, displays it, + releases it into the constructed wetland where it is inf ltrated. This process reduces the impact that the big box site has on adjacent habitats. Design elements include steel i-beam structures that channel stormwater into treatment areas + broken impervious surfaces + infrastructure allowing vegetation to f lter pollutants from runoff.

pocket nurseries to pocket parks Professors Barry Kew + Larry Gorenf o Baltimore, MD Spring 2012
Problem: Baltimore’s population has been in decline since 1950 + this decline has caused several issues, most notably, high numbers of vacant lots + buildings. Vacancies provide a unique opportunity to redevelop areas of the city to become strengths rather than weaknesses. The challenge is to thoughtfully re-purpose the vacant lots + buildings in neighborhoods like Oliver.

[URBAN VOIDS]
SPRING 2012
1.5 ACRES
Currently there is 20 % tree canopy coverage in Baltimore City. The American Forests recommends 40 % canopy cover as the ideal + realistic goal for urban areas. Establishing a healthy tree canopy in cities has many benef ts, including environmental , economic, + social benef ts. Open space in cities is limited, but there are two areas that we can utilize to increase the canopy; streets + vacancies. They provide the opportunity + space to facilitate a program that can begin to establish a new tree canopy resulting in street revitalization bringing in new residents + new businesses.
phase I
phase II
phase III
phase IV
The phased scheme allows for a slow transition from a vacant lot to tree nursery to small community oriented park. This transition can be seen the plans + sections above.

The phase I planting of 1300 trees on the 1.5 acre site will jump-start the initiative + be the pilot site for a larger network of pocket nurseries along Hoffman Avenue. Part of this program is allowing community members to select the tree to be planted near their home, allowing the community become involved in the process + help create a relationship between the community + the new habitat.
phase I neighborhood nursery
Fencing contructed of reclaimed material from deconstructed rowhomes discourages people from cutting through the site + damaging the nursery stock. Signage indicates to the community the purpose of the nurseries.

The phase IV site consists of four main programs; passive recreation, stormwater management, social stoop spaces, + community gardens. The ultimate goal is to have the pocket nurseries transform into pocket parks that can be utilized by the community as public open space + also reintroduce habitat for insects, birds + other small animals in order to improve the overall ecology of Baltimore.
phase IV implementation plan

site ecology section
The improved ecology of the Oliver Neighborhood is a critical aspect of the phased process. A diversity of low perennial species in the bioretention areas will attract a variety of bird + insect species. Large canopy trees provide areas for birds to nest, perch, + disperse seeds back in to the site creating a continual cycle that will improve on site ecology. Earthworms, fungi, and bacteria in the soil will provide healthy soil structure + assist in breaking down pollutants. (right)

Professors Neil Korostoff, Larry Gorenf o, + Tim Murtha State College, Pa Fall 2010
Problem: Infringing agriculture along an ecologically sensitive creek corridor has resulted in the loss of delicate stream wildlife. This corridor is not only a biodiverse habitat but also a world reknown trout f shing ground known as “Fisherman’s Paradise.” Stakeholders in this project were interested in accomplishing two main goals: 1) Protecting the sensitive habitats from harmful agricultural runoff 2) Maintain + improve a recreational feature on the parcels while minimizing its impact on the wildlife.

This ecology based project began with an extensive site I&A that culminated in a phased masterplan for the Spring Creek Canyon Lands. Restoring the land to its native condition as a forested landscape provides a buffer between Spring Creek + the developed areas of the watershed. The reforestation will recreate the native woodland communities found in Central PA, containing native plants which will maintain + enhance the biodiversity of the canyon lands.

Problem: Ancient Rome was designed + built long before cars were a thought. Cars have since taken over the narrow streets + as time progresses it is only becoming more of an issue. This corridor in the northern part of Rome along the Tiber River is full of piazze converted to parking lots + roads buzzing with traff c. The challenge in this case is to develop a design that will alleviate vehicular traff c, provide safe walkable streets, + reconnect Romans back to the waterfront that was once the basis of their civilization.

Our choice of site was adjacent to the pecile wall, a relic of Hadrian’s Villa. This site was chosen due to the fact that it had been previously excavated + no evidence of ruins were found. Our site design + museum sought to put the attention on the historic site rather than an elborate museum. Research informed the planting design which ref ects a similar condition of what may have been there years ago.

Problem: The competition was held with the hopes of being a vehicle for healing + getting people excited about the future of Detroit. Currently Detroit is disconnected from its riverfront due to the poor placement of buildings + roads that bisect the city from the river. Hart plaza, located along the Detroit River, has lost the charm it once had with frequent festivals + concerts livening the plaza. The challenge was to reconnect Detroiters to Hart Plaza + ultimately the river.

The process of re-imagination is a classic example of progressive urban change + growth in the US. The goal of this proposal was to redef ne the riverfront reintroducing Detroiters to their underutilized resource. By fracturing the edge between the framework of Detroit + the Detroit River itself, the proposal imagines Hart Plaza as a target for the implementation of a new aesthetic as a conduit, linking downtown to its disengaged river.

During the summer of 2012 I had the opportunity to intern with a f rm in Central New Jersey. During this experience I worked on a variety of projects where I was tasked to produce 2D + 3D graphics or AutoCAD drawings. Along with my off ce responsibilities I had the opportunity to be on site laying out plants + conducting site inspections. Through this experience I was able to develop a sense of the depth of work it takes to carry out project from concept to built work.

Park(ing) Day is an annual international event that “calls attention to the need for more urban open space, to generate critical debate around how public space is created. ” As a part of the Landscape Architecture Student Society I helped lead a group of 7 students who’s primary goal was to use the event as an exercise to effectively program a small multipurpose urban park using only reclaimed + donated materials.
