Urban Planning
My interest in Urban Planning began in my high school Industrial Design class. In class we made several different product designs but also created a few site plans. After a three years of college, my interest specific to planning grew to include sustainability, site planning, and redevelopment. My goals in seeking employment include furthering my skill sets with not only planning, but with everyday life and knowledge.

Professional Practice Landscape Designs
Technical Landscape Plans Media: Auto-Cad: Civil 3D
This collection of plans were created as concept designs for our communities. These plans included research of plant-hardiness levels and growth patters which were used to create illusions and space boundaries. Several plans needed topographical SALES_TRAILER adjustments including the mounding shown right. Mounding was strategically designed in order to buffer homesites and provide privancy to home buyers.

Landscape Plans Renderings Media: Adobe Photoshop
After recieving landscape proposals from our vendors, I was responsible for the colorising and artistic rendering of the plans in 2-D. This was done in order to help conceptualize the designs to our customer. During the rendering process I would take note of the placement and name of each plant variation and suggest edits that could better the design.

Below is a rendering that was completed for a Fischer community located in Northern Kentucky. After recieving the finalized plan for the site, I would render a 2D view of the site. This allowed us to see how people would interact with the space. Specifically, this rendering was used for sales purposes to show interested home-buys what the amenity center was going to look like completed. *PROPERTY OF FISCHER HOME*

CBU Assignment and Placement Map Media: Auto-Cad: Civil 3D/Adobe Illustrator
Above is a typical CBU assignment map that I would create for new communities we released. First, I would look at the total number of homesites in the community and determine howmany 16, 12, and 8 unit mailboxes we would need to purchase. I would then divide the homesites up by development phase and assign the appropriate number of homesites to each CBU. Finally, I would analyse the neighborhood and find the most suitable place in the community for all or part of the mailboxes to be placed.

Year 2 Fall Semester:
Understanding Contours Media: Pencil/Foam Core
The first project in our Site Planning studio class consisted of creating a 3-demensional contour map from an abstract painting. The purpose of this project was to get my mind thinking creatively and come up with a ‘process’ of how I was going to turn a painting into an elevation piece. Once converting my thoughts into a 2 - dimensional drawing, I took my contours and began making a model out of foam core. This gave the piece depth and elevation.
Understanding Contours

Brad Quatman 8/29/17 Balla ‘Landscape’
The “Process” Throughout this project I had to complete a task that is an essential part of every planner’s job. I first began this project by studying the painting and conveying the ideas of both the painter and myself into a contour drawing. I completed this process through brainstorming and creating ‘sloppy’ sketches that would bring out obvious characteristics such as lines, shapes, and colors. after identifying elevations and depressions, I took my drawing and began building a model. This project was completed on a 20”x20” plot and was ‘shrunk’ down to a 3/32” = 1’ scale.

Site Inventory
Media: Adobe Photoshop/Indesign/Illustrator In our Site Design Studio we received a client that we would be working with for the semester. Our client was Clovernook - Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired. When introduced to our client, our class had to take a site inventory of the area and collect data and information about the already-existing surrounding.

Site Inventory (Cont.) We were split up into teams of three and were assigned topics to study. My topic personally was about creating maps and graphics of roads, sidewalks, buildings, and other data that can relate to the site spacially. My board consisted of the following: Contours

The Site Clovernook has several workers and students coming in and out of the property everyday. In order to make sure that the flow of traffic and ‘drop off’ of people is efficent, we must take a look at traffic patterns and everyday in-and-out movement.

These two maps were created using Adobe Indesign and ArcMap. The purpose of this project was to take census data from within our neighborhood and transfer that into a visually pleasing graphic. For my project I took the age of houses and property values and found a connection between the two. I started both maps in ArcMap by creating a base map and symbolizing what was needed. I then took the maps into Indesign and made adjustments and added features to make the map more successful through better communicate.

I followed along through step-by-step instructions to complete these task and was able to construct several maps and infographics with the ArcMap program. Throughout these exercise I learned how to bring data from outside sources, such as CAGIS, and display them graphically to outside viewers.

Land Use Suitability Media: ArcMap/GIS
For the class final, I was instructed to research the land use suitability for a new project in the Hamilton County area. For my project I decided to research where the most suitable area for a new park would be. Based on my topic, I narrowed down five indicators and graphically displayed them using different colors and weighting based on importance. After completing my 5 indicators, I composed one final combination suitability map. Within that map, I was able to narrow down and select successful areas to put a new park.

The shoe which I designed is a training shoe for running. The shoe is designed as a speed training shoe which has a thinner heal and interchangeable spikes. This feature allows for the runner to enhance their training by equipping their shoe with the proper gear for running. The shoe is also a light-weight shoe and displays many cut out 'holes' in the design. This decreases the weight of the show and also allows the runner to add their own personal style to their shoe by wearing different colors of sock which will show through the holes.

Writing Sample: Prompt: Would you rather live in the city, suburbs, or country and why? By studying Urban Planning, I have grown to love and understand cities and their functions. The fascinating aspect of living in the United States is that we have a choice of where we want to live our lives based on our own preferences and viewpoints. In the future after I complete college, I will have to make this decision based on a number of different aspect such as finances and preference. For me, I would want to live in the suburb of a city.
Cities are a great place to live and spend your life but for me, I view the city as a getaway spot from my everyday life. Studying Urban Planning, I have formed a passion for cities and the way they are formed. Cities are the hearts of our country and have so much to offer us. Living in the suburbs, I view the city as a place to go when I am bored and need something to do. Cities always have something to offer. Living in the Cincinnati area, I have access to some of greatest parks and restaurants in the mid-west. Coming in from the outside into the city is a lifestyle for me. I would choose to live in the suburbs over the city because it allows me to appreciate the city from the outside. If I were living in the city, I personally would fell trapped and limited to the amount of places I can go. By living in the suburbs and owning my own car, I have access to go anywhere and everywhere I want. Living in an apartment building with the hustle and bustle of the city life going on below me is not what I long for. I love being out in open, on my own little pad, ‘living the American dream’. I would love to live in the country but being so separated from the core city would leave me bored. This leads to my point that living in the suburbs is a perfect mix of country and city living. Being far enough away from the chaos of the city yet having access into it for entertainment is the perfect mix for me. Living in the suburbs has it perks but yet has some down falls. Living in a city with little mass transit can be extremely frustrating. Owning a car and driving everywhere is great, but often can be a struggle when it comes to having to find a parking spot relevant to where you will be going in the city. My ideal situation of living in the suburbs would be to have some form of rail line into the city. This way I could have cheap and reliable transportation into the city without having to put up with the hassle of a car. Cincinnati has recently expanded on the idea of a street car within the core city and has been talking about expansions out to the outer-rim areas. Eventually I think Cincinnati could get to a point in having a connection between city and suburbs through mass transit. In this case, living in the suburbs would be my ideal living situation for the future.

Prompt: What is Urban Planning? This essay comes from the point of view of a college student after completing his first year in Urban Planning. This essay will state the obvious yet go into detail on what they personally believe Urban Planning consists of.
Urban Planning, City Development, Urban Design, City Planning – it goes by several different names. No matter what you refer to Urban Planning as, it is rooted in the same principles. Urban Planning’s technical definition is: “the activity or profession of determining the future physical arrangement and condition of a community, involving an appraisal of the present condition, a forecast of future requirements, a plan for the fulfillment of these requirements, and proposals for constructional, legal, and financial programs to implement the plan”. After completing my first year in Urban Planning at the University of Cincinnati, I have developed a good sense of what Urban Planning is all about. Coming into college, I had a faint idea of what planning was and what I could even do with a planning major. I simply understood planning as ‘building cities’ and ‘planning urban spaces’. But after completing my first year, my understanding of planning has grown and I have developed an appreciation for urban settings and design. Throughout my first year, we studied the basics of planning. I learned about planning fundamentals including zoning, urban design, planning commissions, etc. But another important thing I learned about Urban Planning is that there are several different career paths you can take with the degree. Some of which include Urban Design, Community Planning, Government, and Construction Management. A planner can do anything from interpreting a community’s zoning code, determining what kinds of buildings are allowed in what places, helping a community create a vision for what it wants to become, and reaching out to and educating community leaders on what can make their community better. They often get to do something different and exciting every day.
Within my studio class this year, we spent the semester studying a neighborhood within Cincinnati. I enjoyed this class because we learned fundamentals of planning and were able to break down the dynamics of our neighborhood and understand how it became the way it is today. We broke down the components of the community such as transportation, typologies, history, and census metric data to know the area better. This class taught me that planning consist of several different aspects that are used in order to break down and understand an area. This project clarified what a community developer would do in order to understand and improve a community or city. Doing this work to understand the urban environment of a neighborhood allows you as a planner to see what are prosperous areas of a community and what areas are lacking and need help. ‘What is Urban Planning?’ is a widely open ended question. There is no one direct response I can give you to answer this question. The reality is that planning is made up of a collection of jobs and tasks and requires teamwork and communication between people or clients. Urban Planning can range from designing a new park to refurbishing abandoned buildings. No matter what you call Urban Planning, it is rooted in the concepts and principles of making better places for people to live and relax in.
