Line Play

Core Studio I project

Location: Cambridge, Massachusetts Date: October–December 2011 Instructor: Gary Hilderbrand, Andrea Hansen Workflow: analog, Illustrator, Rhino, Photoshop

Line Play is an in-depth exploration of one of the most basic visual elements, the line. The design treats the line as an agent to guide decisions regarding the treatment of the surface—whether landform, vegetation, infrastructure, or circulation. Line Play offers students and visitors a place for meeting and relaxation. Two mounds on each side of the plaza offer an intricate vegetation scheme as well as raised benches of differing slopes for sitting and reclining. site application Creeping Phlox (Phlox subulata) .25m Wild Quinine (Parthenium integrefolium) .75m Black Chokeberry (Aronia Melanocarpia) 1m Pink Delight Meadow Sage Salvia pratensis ‘Pink Delight’ 1.5m

Core Studio II project City Hall Plaza sits on a rare geological feauture: a drumlin field that intersects the coast. Using this condition as the grammar for the design, the design proposal positions landforms, modeled after the drumlins of the area, across the site, informing drainage, circulation, and vegetation. A light scheme is used to illuminate the forms during the long winter nights. The glow of the light underneath the raised drumlin-like landforms reflects on small pools of water that accumulate below.

Core Studio III project Location: Massachusetts Military Reservation Date: Septemberâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;December 2012 Instructor: Pierre BĂŠlanger, Rosetta S. Elkin Collaborators: Gabriella Rodriguez, Ziyi Zhang

Fieldcraft The project seeks to transform the military reservation through cycles of selective arrested succession (e.g., mowing, grazing, clear cutting) in order to create a network of diverse and evolving habitats as an innovative mode of conservation: conservation through adaptation. Working primarily with flows and processes that are active agents in seed dispersal, Fieldcraft attempts to understand vegetation, native and non-native, as a means to nurture flexible and resilient landscapes, both locally and regionally.

Core Studio IV project Sea Change creates a system that claims the future simulation and projection of the shoreline as part ofthe landscape architectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s palette. The project creates a landscape that registers and integrates sea level rise, both daily tidal fluctuations and long-term rise, as a catalyst for program. By tapping into the formal process of dredging, which shapes and defines the contours of the New York Harbor, the project seeks to set up an operative platform that uses excess dredge material to create a grid mosaic of program, such as mixed-use development, park space, sport fields, and water catchment and filtration basins. The grid is presented as a terraced matrix with emerging programmatic opportunities for new stages of ocean-level rise.

Territorialism Option Studio Project

Location: Peddocks Island, Boston, Massachusetts Date: Septemberâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;December 2013 Instructor: Paola Vigano Workflow: ArcMap, Rhino, Rhino Terrain, Grasshopper, VRay, CNC milling, analog, Photoshop, Illustrator

The island is a proving ground for anthropogenic processes; from the scale of the island, the environmentalist movement was born, and the notion of biological rarity was conceived. The design hypothesis understands the island as a bellwether or barometer for environmental change and impact, particularly brought about by climate change and sea-level rise. The design hypothesis seeks to strategically bridge the gap between finite and infinite systems that define the Boston Harbor Islands and the urban island system of the greater megalopolis, and embrace the freedom of geographic insularity and the synergy of geographic connection. The project proposes the redesign of Peddocks Island, with the major design move being the creation of a bridge between the east and middle heads of the island, now currently connected with a sand bar but projected to soon be disconnected with oceanic rise. The design of the bridge is inspired by the architecture of hoop house nurseries.

By allowing spontaneous vegetation into the design of the connection, the project has the potential to register environmental impact on an even smaller scale and create a landscape defined in part by plant migration between middle and east island and beyond.

While connection is maintained between the east and middle head, the west head is kept isolated. The each head of the island will act as a laboratory for studying the ecological effects of climate change, particularly on biodiversity.

Medellin Option Studio Project The project seeks to position sound as an essential, yet often overlooked component to the design of landscape architecture. By crafting a sonic experience in the landscape, the design strives to heighten the communal, cultural, and visual experience of the site.

the daily thundershowers of Medellin can be framed or focused upon in the landsape as event

the space of listening to thunderstorms or rain may be ones of intimacy and conversation

listening as weather awareness Medellin is full of the sounds of transportation and sociability, is there a way to reflect or refract the sounds of medellin away from certain parts of the site, creating sites of intense sonic focus.

listening as urban knowledge

the rupture of vision from hearing is at the core of some listening typologies such as confessionals - in what way should privacy and even solitude be a part of the design of specific sonic environment

listening as social intimacy

the site - and medellin itself - is crisscrossed with small creeks which often course with water during daily rainshowers... could these sites - both on the site and oďŹ&#x20AC; the site - be part part of the design

specific plantings and the replacement of ornamental species, or even a regime of maintenance that allowed dead trees to remain in the park may encourage bird species - further research required.

listening as hydrological awareness listening as ecological awareness the site may be a place to amplify the sound of birds - an aviary is a programmatic element that could have a specific sonic dimension and emphasizing an important part of the broader sonic environment of Medellin - as bird migration across the country changes and new species spend longer periods of time in the city, Volador could be a place that hosts these species

listening as collective experience music, athletics, all form a part of the collective sonic experience in the city - we look towards the inclusion of an ampitheatre or public performance space as a way to use landform to carve hte mountain and to play with the acoustics of spaces designed for collective listening.

listening as spatial knowledge the unique valley placement of Medellin creates a sense of sound - can this experience be highlighted or amplified and could the topographical features of the site be made sensible or used to specific eďŹ&#x20AC;ect.

Structures of Coastal Resilience Date: Septemberâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;December 2013 Workflow: Library research, Illustrator

Independent Study The project provided support for Michael Van Valkenburgh and Rosetta S. Elkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ongoing collaboration with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers North Atlantic Division, MoMA, Princeton, UPenn, and CUNY to develop design solutions for coastal resiliency. The independent study examined how coastal policy is shaped by disaster and the rhetoric of climate change. The independent study provided the baseline for the Harvard team to begin to conceptualize the ways in which their design contribution will be positioned critically. The work was presented at meetings at MoMA and Princeton.

Timeline. The drawing traces through time how relationships between knowledge of climate change cand cultural practices relate to the built environment. By clarifying the lineage of the rhetoric of climate change that Structures of Coastal Resilience inherits, the timeline seeks to acknowledge and harness the power of language to induce social change and to shape space. By understanding more fully the words that we and the public choose to employ, we are able as designer to strategically expand the realm in which we operate.

Beach nourishment USACE, Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory, 2013 Beach restoration or augmentation using clean dredged or fill sand. Dredged sand is usually hydraulically pumped and placed directly onto an eroded beach or placed in the littoral transport system. When the sand is dredged in combination with constructing, improving, or maintaining a navigation project, beach nourishment is a form of beneficial use of dredged material. (See also beneficial use; hydraulic dredged material placement; nearshore feeder berms, beach fill)

The coast is a strip of land of indefinite width that extends from the coastline inland as far as the first major change in topography. Cliffs, frontal dunes, or a line of permanent vegetation usually mark this inland boundary. On barrier coasts, the distinctive back-barrier lagoon/marsh/tidal creek complex is considered part of the coast. It is difficult to define the landward limit of the coast on large deltas like the Mississippi, but the area experiencing regular tidal exchange can serve as a practical limit (in this context, New Orleans would be considered “coastal”).

The numbers and relative abundances of different genes (genetic diversity), species, and ecosystems (communities) in a particular area.

One of several specialized engineering disciplines that fall under the umbrella of civil engineering. It is a composite of many physical science and engineering disciplines having application in the coastal area. It requires the rational interweaving of knowledge from a number of technical disciplines to develop solutions for problems associated with natural and human induced changes in the coastal zone, the structural and non-structural mitigation of these changes, and the positive and negative impacts of possible solutions to problem areas on the coast. Coastal Engineers may utilize contributions from the fields of geology, meteorology, environmental sciences, hydrology, physics, mathematics, statistics, oceanography, marine science, hydraulics, structural dynamics, naval architecture, and others in developing an understanding of the problem and a possible solution.

“The principal question there-

and land surfaces, the climate would continue to change even if the atmospheric composition were held fixed at today’s values. Past change in atmospheric composition leads to a committed climate change, which continues for as long as a radiative imbalance persists and until all components of the climate system have adjusted to a new state. The further change in temperature after the composition of the atmosphere is held constant is referred to as the constant composition temperature commitment or simply committed warming or warming commitment. Climate change commitment includes other future changes, for example in the hydrological cycle, in extreme weather events, in extreme climate events, and in sea level change. The constant emission commitment is the committed climate change that would result from keeping anthropogenic emissions constant and the zero emission commitment is the climate change commitment when emissions are set to zero. See also CLIMATE CHANGE.

of processes affecting the concentration of trace gases. In general, lifetime denotes the average length of time that an atom or molecule spends in a given reservoir, such as the atmosphere or oceans. The following lifetimes may be distinguished: “Turnover time” (T) or “atmospheric lifetime” is the ratio of t he mass M of a reservoir (e.g., a gaseous compound in the atmosphere) and the total rate of removal S from the reservoir: T = M/S. For each removal process separate turnover times can be defined. In soil carbon biology, this is referred to as Mean Residence Time. “Adjustment time,” “response time,” or “perturbation lifetime” (Ta) is the time scale characterizing the decay of an instantaneous pulse input into the reservoir. The term adjustment time is also used to characterize the adjustment of the mass of a reservoir following a step change in the source strength. Halflife or decay constant is used to quantify a first-order exponential decay process. See response time for a different definition pertinent to climate variations. The term “lifetime” is sometimes used, for simplicity, as a surrogate for “adjustment time.” In simple cases, where the global removal of the compound is directly proportional to the total mass of the reservoir, the adjustment time equals the turnover time: T = Ta. An example is CFC-11 which is removed from the atmosphere only by photochemical processes in the stratosphere. In more complicated cases, where several reservoirs are involved or where the removal is not proportional to the total mass, the equality T = Ta no longer holds. Carbon dioxide is an extreme example. Its turnover time is only about 4 years because of the rapid exchange between atmosphere and the ocean and terrestrial biota. However, a large part of that CO2 is returned to the atmosphere within a few years. Thus, the adjustment time of CO2 in the atmosphere is actually determined by the rate of removal of carbon from the surface layer of the oceans into its deeper layers. Although an approximate value of 100 years may be given for the adjustment time of CO2 in the atmosphere, the actual adjustment is faster initially and slower later on. In the case ofmethane, the adjustment time is different from the turnover time, because the removal is mainly through a chemical reaction with the hydroxyl radical OH, the concentration of which itself depends on the CH4 concentration. Therefore the CH4 removal S is not proportional to its total mass M.

The amount of barystatic sea level change due to the addition or removal of a mass of water is called its sea level equivalent (SLE). Sea level changes, both globally and locally, resulting from changes in water density are called steric. Density changes induced by temperature changes only are called thermosteric, while density changes induced by salinity changes are called halosteric.

New Alpines from Tibet Location: Jardins de Métis, Grand-Métis, Quebec Date: November 2013 Collaborator: Lauren Hamer Workflow: Rhino, Maxwell, Photoshop, Illustrator

Jardin de Métis competition entry New Alpines from Tibet provides a definitive threshold between the Reford Gardens and the Jardins de Métis festival. The proposal thematizes, heightens, and connects the arrival experience into the festival with a memorable aspect of the Reford Gardens: the blue poppy. The project takes plant hunting as its inspiration, important not only to the Blue Poppy and its introduction to the West but to the history of the garden itself. Inspired by Bhutanese prayer flags, the Himalayas, and expedition tents, New Alpines from Tibet proposes tent-like structures of blue cloth—printed, like prayer flags, with the journey of the flower and the words of Frank KingdonWard, the plant hunter who discovered and brought the Blue Poppy to the West—suspended in the canopy over a proposed glade of blue poppies.

We are concerned only with the routine work, the potted yearning, the hopes and fears, and the fun of harvest. It is the culmination of the season’s work; and into it is compressed all the hope of immortality, the fear of failure. At the beginning, any day might bring to light some supremely lovely thing, some unique flower. But as the spring waned into summer, and summer mellowed to autum, the chance of a wonderful find grew more and more remote, till at last winter breathed over the mountains and everything was congealed. Then came qualms. Are there any plants worth bringing home, or are they all “kag”? Will the seeds germinate? Will the plants be admired, or sneered at, or worst fate of all, ignored? Or will they be received with howls of acclamation, which as the years pass and the plants fail, dies down to a timid whisper? Will they be thrown on the ash heap and burnt at the stake, or will they receive an F.C.C. at the Chelsea show and be stared at by thousands who never give a thought to the odyssey of those few pregnant words, “New Alpines from Tibet”?

Sta d t Pa r k D o n a u The project required a new vision for Ingolstadt, Germanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waterfront along the Danube. We developed and presented a conceptual plan that reintegrates the river as a civic amenity. The plan proposes a dynamic waterfront edge that brings the waterway to the forefront of urban life, through various recreation, ecologic, and ecomonic driven programs. The concept plan submitted to the city government led to the commissioning of the firm for a masterplan.

Research Eighty-eight million pounds of Darjeeling tea, with its distinct flavor and aroma, are sold on the market each year, but only twenty million pounds are grown in the region annually. So in 2012, with the backing of the Tea Board of India, the European Union agreed to protect Darjeeling tea under geographic indication law, making the product the first in India to be recognized by the ordinance in the European Union. Over the past year, the E.U. has begun the phasing out of tea on its market shelves that use the label “Darjeeling” on teas not recognized by the Tea Board of India—a policy move that follows the footsteps of French wineries, Kentucky bourbon distillers, Moroccon argan oil extractors, and more, to use geographic indication as a means to create and strengthen a brand that drives specific local and regional economies, and arguably acts as a social mobilizer and environmental protectant. Working with a planetary (i.e., global exchange markets) and a 1:1 scale (i.e., species requirements), the project aims to understand, through a case study of Darjeeling tea gardens, how a public policy that is framed geographically transfigures the ground. Essentially, how does geographic indication affect the geography, or the ground, that it indicates? And what happens to the landscape—both physically and in the cultural imagination—when geography is a brand? The project, a work in progress, works to present the history of Darjeeling tea, as both fact and fiction, and its impact on the Darjeeling valley. Ultimately, a handbound book for the project will be created and disseminated.

In 1849, I succeeded in finding a sure and certain method of transporting tea-seeds to foreign countries in full life...sow the seeds in Ward’s cases soon after they are gathered. When the cases were open in Calcutta the young tea plants were found to be in good condition. Robert Fortune

The camellias, which had now arrived at their destination, were lifted gently out and potted, and appeared as if they had never left their native country. In a few days the young plants came sprouting through the soil; every seed seemed to have grown; and by this simple plan 12,838 plants were added to the Himalayan plantation. Robert Fortune Tea should be put away in a bin that is Zinc-lined, with close-fitting hatches above and doors below, and perfectly air-tight all over. It may be accepted as an axiom that well-cured tea, perfectly stored, will improve by keeping. W. Christinson

The first tea garden in Darjeeling, on an extended scale and with commercial footing, started by James White in 1862.

In 1866, Darjeeling has 39 gardens producing a total crop of 21,000 kgs of tea. By 1870, there are 56 gardens producing 71,000 kgs on 4,400 hectares. And by 1874, 113 gardens are producing tea over 6,000 hectares.

1900

By 1901, exports of Indian tea far exceeded all other international tea exports, including China. Indian Tea Cess Bill passes in 1903 to tax the trade of tea and to promote its marketing.

The habit of drinking tea grows popular among Indians in the 1920s and 1930s.

The Tea Marketing Expansion Board is established in 1933.

Tea became a central plant in the Indian cultural lexicon.

The Tea Marketing Expansion Board launches an advertisement campaign for tea featuring vehicles, decorated with a large kettle, that drove through urban and semi-urban areas, teaching civilians how to brew tea. Tea consumption doubles in the 1930s. India achieves independence from Britain in 1947. Darjeeling becomes part of the state of West Bengal. Subsequently, British tea plantations owners leave the country, selling their plantations to Indian businessmen. In the 1950s, because of a large surplus of low-grade tea, the Tea Board launches another ad campaign to popularize the drink. Until then, the most widely consumed beverage was milk.

1950

The Plantation Labor Act of 1951 stipulates that all tea plantation workers must be protected by a union. Tea Board of India is established in 1954. The Darjeeling logo is copyright protected by the Tea Board in 1957.

Green Revolution hits India in the 1960s and chemical-intensive growing techniques begin to characterize Darjeeling tea plantations. Roadside tea stalls begin to flourish. Burma

Illegal tea farming becomes a common practice around Darjeeling. The aesthetics of these illegal landscapes differ drastically from the mountainside tea plantations. The Tea Board applies for a certification mark on Darjeeling tea in the U.S. in 1988.

India

In 1999, the word Darjeeling and its logo become the first geographical indicatiors to be registered in India.

Eighty-eight million pound of Darjeeling tea are sold each year, but only twenty million pounds are grown in the region annually.

Tibet

In 2004, Darjeeling tea became the first Indian product to receive a geographic indication tag under the Indian Patent Office.

China overtakes India as world’s largest exporter of tea in 2006. In 2012, with the backing of the Tea Board, the Seventy percent of tea pickers are European Union agrees to protect Darjeeling tea women. under geographic indication law.

The cultivation of maize (Zea mays), or corn, has defined the lifestyle, legacy, and landscape of the Mexican territory for thousands of years. After NAFTA passed in 1994, corn from the United States—genetically modified, mechanized, and heavily subsidized—flooded Mexico’s markets and the Mexican agricultural system started a dramatic dismantle. Mexican corn producers could not compete with cheap American cornToday a small number of large-scale farms in the lowlands dominate the agricultural economy, leaving millions of small-scale mestizo and indigenous farmers jobless, unable to compete with the depressed price of trade liberalization. Perhaps more than any other land-intensive operation, corn cultivation in Mexico embodies the ecological, cultural, and economic fall-outs of a polarized NAFTA-generated landscape.... Indigenous agricultural practices are traditionally designed to strengthen the genetic resources from which new landraces of maize may draw. In situ conservation, that is the dynamic process of the cultivation of the seed bank on site (i.e., mostly through peasants’ fields) through the movement and interchange of seed on a scale exceeding the field itself (from migratory pollination to seed selection and exchanges among farmers), is considered to be the most effective method for safeguarding biodiversity, according to the World Trade Organization Convention of Biological Diversity. These landscapes, often patch-cuts in the richly diverse rainforest, function as agents and canvases for seed dispersal, promoting and nurturing spontaneous plant growth. But shrinking numbers of small-scale plots due to trade liberalization undermines the species’ capacity to adapt to environmental impact by drawing on a gene pool to strengthen and fortify its lot. [See Fig. 2] Since NAFTA and the dissolution of the economic viability of most corn agricultural practices in Mexico, farmers are relying more and more on these wild plants, or quelite (wild, edible plants, such as Brassica rapa, Chenopodium, and Amaranthus), for more than just species diversification. Instead, they’re relying on them as a new commodity, primarily as livestock feed but also for medicinal uses...

Photovoltaic panels on the shade structures provide enough energy to run the park, with the exception of the Echelman sculpture, which requires heavy-duty floodlights that illuminate it at night. Hicks and Atterbury believe that focusing the design on the needs of its user base is another way for the park to increase its sustainability, because the more people visit Civic Space, the further the resources used by the park, such as water for the plants or electricity for the light sculpture, will reach. “The more the space gets used, the more sustainable it is,” Atterbury says. So to attract passersby, the designers integrated into its design various linear elements—the university, neighborhood, and urban downtown—from the site’s surrounding context. Atterbury employs the term “urban weave” to describe this tactic. The weave is seen in the interconnection of the sloped lawns on both the north and south sides, which create the perfect space for an outdoor classroom; the sculpted landscape bands of raised earth that create intimate pockets for neighbors to converse and relax; and the plazas connecting to the light rail station and sidewalks. Though full of multifunctional areas, the park doesn’t feel congested, and its areas of use do not appear particularly well defined. “We have a space that doesn’t have traditions yet,” says Hicks. But these traditions are quickly being forged. Host to a range of events jointly programmed by ASU and the city of Phoenix, including morning yoga classes and First Friday art walks, Civic Space is drawing more and more first-time visitors to the park every month. However, on the balmy afternoon of my visit to Civic Space, there were surprisingly few people enjoying the park, despite the pleasant weather. Both Hicks and Parks and Recreation Director Dale Larsen assured me that this was because the park welcomes most of its visitors in the early evening hours, when school and workdays are over and outside temperatures have lowered. But on a mild, sunny day like that day was, it’s difficult to justify a park—not in the Sonoran Desert, but in the downtown of America’s fifth largest city, as Atterbury says—as being nearly desolate. The park’s organization and its lack of emphasis on how spaces should be used may hinder, at least for now, its ability to draw in visitors as a destination on nice days, and it may also be indicative that its user base doesn’t quite know what to make of the park, or perhaps even how to get there, if not by car.

But with an upcoming onslaught of progressive urban developments, Civic Space won’t be the only project seducing Phoenicians to come outside. Phoenix—one of the areas hit hardest by the housing crisis—is among a select group of U.S. cities to participate in Red Fields to Green Fields, a government program to turn foreclosed properties into green spaces. Canalscape—a project by ASU and selected by the mayor as part of his Green Phoenix initiative, a 17-point plan to make Phoenix the greenest city in the United States—is creating built environments along the city’s expansive network of canals to promote alternative transportation and outdoor recreation. Bicycle rentals are slated to be available outside light rail stations, and new light regulations will make for dark starry skies at night. The city of Phoenix is about to see a larger emphasis, despite the heat, on the out-of-doors, a change that may alter the urban weave entirely.
