Coralville’s Southeast Commercial District is an area that, due to massive frequent flooding disasters, has been neglected and is seeking creative design solutions to bring it back to life. Building Up is about working on three levels to restore the district. To build up the community, the design includes the integration of mixed-use housing with public transportation, neighborhood events, and a connection to the greater Coralville area. To build up the economy, businesses of all types and sizes are brought together in the district. Finally, to provide maximum protection from future flooding, the terrain will be built up and all proposed buildings will sit 1’ above the 100-year flood plain, allowing residents and developers to move in with safety and future security in mind.

Frameworks for Open Circulation Spaces created by Madison Quincke
This project was an all-around team effort. Each member participated equally, and in every step of the project from concept to final production. My contributions include early concept design, technical drawings, modeling, mapping, research, and the production of final renderings. The results from the studio work has been published to the book, “Stitching the Strip” and may also be found on our website: https://stitchingthestrip.wixsite.com/coralvilleiowa

Walk, shop, laugh, or create - it all happens here in a community strip built for life and sharing experiences with each other. The sections of this strip are separated by function, but woven together through design and the actions of those who work, live, or visit this place.

First Christian Church has an opportunity to develop a location in the emerging Grand Mere neighborhood of Manhattan, Kansas as a beacon for new residents to gather and share their beliefs. The church has proposed a community center in the area to support a growing suburban population and become a focal point for play, cooking, parties, education, and other social activities. The site will be reseeded with native prairie grasses and wildflowers to bring back the insects and wildlife after construction. The design will also feature an educational prairie garden, rain gardens, a children’s playground, a patio, and a green roof. This center will be a hub for making connections, restoring bonds of neighbors, and living a more sustainable life.

Cobb Memorial Manhattan, Kansas
Materials and Methods | Spring 2017 Team Design + Build Project Build Team Leaders: Lawson Endicott & Richard Thompson Study Bar Team: Allyssa Gray, Bridget Hake, Caleb Parker, Kate Larkin, & Madison Quincke Our class had the honor of redesigning a memorial space on the Kansas State University campus for Grover Cobb, a former senior vice president of the National Association of Broadcasters and founding member of KAB radio in Kansas. In 1976, a year after his passing, a memorial was constructed under one of two radio towers on campus. Over the years, the memorial has been mistreated and has fallen into disrepair. The class, under the direction of Professor Chip Winslow, worked with the Kansas Association of Broadcasters to redesign and restore the memorial and participated in a dedication of the space for his relatives and friends in radio.

Park(ing) Day Manhattan, Kansas
Student Chapter ASLA Community Project | Fall 2017 & 2018 Team Design + Build Project Manager: Bridget Hake Design Leaders: Shelby Cooke, Elsa Stoffel, & Mackenzie Yeager
Parking Day has become a new tradition for the Landscape Architecture department at Kansas State. Our goal is to spread awareness about the current uses of public space. So much of our space is devoted to parking, so for one day we have the chance to show our community the potential power of activating this space with seating, food, fun, and people. My role: As the Vice President of our ASLA student chapter, I had the opportunity to be our project manager for the event, which included student team recruitment; scheduling; hosting design workshops; reaching out to local business sponsors; getting supplies; building the installment; and coordinating with other departments within our college to encourage their participation. My goal is for our message to reach more people and to grow the event into something bigger than just our college designing parklets. It should truly become a community event.

Design Inter vention in Donaufeld
The below graphics illustrate several ideas for design intervention within the Donaufeld site. Each idea is only a conceptual representation of a positive experiential value, rather than a specific design change. These images highlight the portions of design that are considered influential for creating a positive experience. For example, the use of a boardwalk is not to say that a good design will have this walkway, but that the accessibility of a site is important to visitors. Therefore, having more options for exploration is more likely to generate better experiences.
Infor me d by the Conc ept of Exper ience Experienced-based design is rooted in shared values that are presumably shared by most people. These can be broad values ranging from recreational needs to health and safety to social equity. These values are represented within the United Nation’s Sustainable Design Goals and can be used to guide good design that supports positive experiences. The ultimate goal for a positive experience is for it to influence our actions towards a place so that we may live harmoniously with our environment.

Laissez (un)Faire New York City, New York LA+ Iconoclast Competition | Fall 2018 Student Team Design Project Bridget Hake, Grace Mader, & Mackenzie Wendling
27
The scenario for the 2018 LA+Iconoclast design competition was to create a futuristic design for a simulated disaster in New York City. The disaster: a swarm of tree-destroying, robotic bees attack Central Park-leaving this beloved public space barren and desolate. Our team took the absurdity to the next level by creating an anti-vision for the park as a cautionary tale for what can happen when design is in the wrong hands and places the needs of the few above the needs of the many.
