LEHIGH VIADUCT GREENWAY Capstone Restoration Design Studio Spring 2017 Professor Baldev Lamba, Micheal Coll, Susan Mrugal Location Philadelphia Project Size 167 acres Program Urban Design, Brownfields Restoration Complete Studio Work at https://issuu.com/bianjing/docs/final_ capstone___jing_reduced Description Located in the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia, the project site is a portion of Lehigh Viaduct Right-of-Way stretching from Kensington Avenue to the Delaware River, including its surrounding land and a former rail yard. The neighborhood was once a manufacturing hub and a bustling railroad port. As the industrial waned, the landscape became patched with bleak vacant lots and desolate industrial buildings and is punctuated by the elevated Market-Frankford Rail Line and Lehigh Viaduct. Many challenges hampered the environmental, economic, and social development of the neighborhood. The goal of this capstone restoration project was to transform the underused Lehigh Viaduct Right-of-Way to a modern urban greenway to connect neighborhoods with natural and cultural resources, to provide maximum ecological services, and to support local economic development.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT | THE BOSQUE PLAZA Switchback Ramps
K
Working with existing grades, an ADA accessible switchback ramp is proposed with Green Roof Gardens on both sides to reduce on-site stormwater runoff.
Plaza Entrance Cercis canadensis, Cercis canadensis “Hearts of Gold”, and Cercis canadensis “Rising Sun” (eastern redbud) are planted along this entrance to welcome visitors with four-season attractive colors and structures.
18
Children’s Natural Playground Surrounded by native fragrant lowheight plants, kids can enjoy this nature based playground which contains stepping logs, climbing ropes, fallen tree balance beams, and hollow logs.
Spray Fountain The interactive spray fountain provides a cooling and fun space during the season. Sustainability is achieved by utilizing the reclaimed air conditioning concentrate water (with biocide treatment).
19
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT | THE BOSQUE PLAZA Bird’s-Eye View The southern part of the Bosque Plaza features a few elements that form an urban green oasis, including a rain garden, an upland wildflower meadow, an amphitheater, and a winding entry path.
Amphitheater The amphitheater is designed to accommodate group or family activities. At night time, the amphitheater can be transformed as a venue for programmatic events, such as concerts and movie nights.
20
The plant palette was carefully selected for its phytotechnology benefits and other multiple interests, including seasonal foliage colors, special bark textures, food sources, and drought resistance. All of the species are native to Pennsylvania.
Planting Diagram Key MULTI-MECHANISM BUFFER
MULTI-MECHANISM MAT
A mixed planting targeted to provide maximum amount of phytotechnology benefit in a small footprint without harvesting any plant materials.
Mixed low-height herbaceous plants to provide the maximum amount of phytotechnology benefit.
AIR-FLOW BUFFER Leaf surfaces of plants can physically intercept particulate matter from moving air so that to enhance the air quality of areas. 21
GREEN ROOFS Minimize stormwater runoff and prevent water from entering onto contaminated areas. RAIN GARDENS Plantings and soil remove and trap contaminant from stormwater at the source, before they spread to groundwater or other water bodies.

The curve-linear Greenway trial continues to the tip of the Pier 20 - Cumberland Pier. The design is inspired by a drawing of a carpetproducing method invented by Marcel Vitek in 1963. It aims to activate the riverfront through creating new open spaces, strengthening connections to communities, and restoring the historic ecosystem that is unique to the Atlantic Coastal Plain.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT | CUMBERLAND PIER
Pier Outlook and Boardwalk The tip of the Cumberland Pier is designed with two seating areas and a circular boardwalk. It is intended to create an intimate place for a variety of interactions including relaxing on a bench, enjoying the shimmering river views, overlooking the panorama of Benjamin Franklin Bridge, and bird watching. 26

Goal
ILLUSTRATIVE MASTER PLAN
Taking Flight - A Boundless Future at Greenberg Elementary To create a safe, community-oriented schoolyard that improves the play experience for all age groups, fosters critical thinking, and connects students to the natural environment. There are many parallels between schools and beehives, as well as students and bees. As bees search for food, they fly in a purposeful circular pattern. Upon returning to the hive, bees communicate where they found best food with a detailed dance.
20
SPR
Our group translated this pattern into a path for children to follow through the schoolyard and translated the hive into an outdoor classroom for children to get hands-on experiences.

FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT PARK (FDR PARK) Wetlands Repair Design Studio Spring 2016 Professor Tracey Cohen, Mark Gallagher, Stephen J. Souza Location Philadelphia Project Size 300 acres Program Wetland Restoration, Environmental Center Description The studio used Franklin D. Roosevelt Park (FDR Park) and its surroundings in South Philadelphia to explore various forms of water in the urban landscape at different scales. Background FDR Park began as League Island Park designed by Olmsted brothers, and it is listed on the Philadelphia Historic Register. The existing site plan still retains the essential character of Olmsted’s design after many changes over the years. It is situated on low-lying land near the confluence of the Delaware River and Schuylkill Rivers, and much of the land was once freshwater tidal wetlands. It has been through many manipulations: draining, ditching, piping, filling, shoreline hardening, paving, and others.

To restore, expand, and enhance the naturally occurring hydrological and ecological system along the Shedbrooke Creek, multiple vegetative growth zones through varying depths are proposed. Various native wetland plants are selected to provide wildlife habitats, improve water quality, and reduce stormwater runoff before it enters the Delaware River.

The existing 18-hole FDR Golf Course is underused and much of the land is experiencing severe flood issues during storms. The lower portion of the Golf Course (adjacent to the I-95 Highway) is proposed to be restored as a freshwater wetland in order to reduce on-site water runoff and to create diverse wildlife habitats. A wetland boardwalk is proposed to enhance the connection between FDR Park and communities around the southwest corner. Various amenities are designed to enrich visitor’s experience.

Based on existing elevations, the Edge Garden and a bioswale along the east edge of FDR Park are proposed, adjacent to the Broad Street, in order to beautify the steeply sloped area, buffer the street traffic, and manage the stormwater run-off. Native plants with bold colors and unique forms are recommended for maximum display. The tennis courts are relocated in a linear configuration to free more land and create a gathering open space - Great Lawn. The Birch Garden is designed to create a shaded and welcoming space at the south entrance. 46
