A. PROFESSIONAL WORK

EMBARK STUDY LOGO & INFO CARD Embark Richmond Highway is a bus rapid transit (BRT) project in the southern area of Fairfax County. I started working for the Fairfax County Department of Planning & Zoning just as this project was starting. I was responsible for much of the branding and graphic design work for the project. The logos to the left are prototypes that show the design flow that eventually developed into the finalized project logo, shown above. The graphic to the right is an informational card that was distributed at community events to help individuals find helpful resources and information related to the Embark initiative.

There are 28 additional parks located in the Greater Merrifield area, representing public recreational opportunities within a reasonable distance. Parks maintained by Fairfax County include local parks, district parks, and resource based parks. Local Parks provide active and passive recreation facilities for residential neighborhoods and mixeduse centers. They tend to be less than 50 acres in size, but are often less than 5 acres in urban areas. District Parks are typically larger, as they are designed as destinations for a wide geographic area. They provide diverse recreation experiences and activities. Resource Based Parks preserve cultural and natural resources of an area, allowing for educational and interactive experiences.

Potential Heritage Resources The Inventory is open-ended and continues to grow. Reconnaissance surveys in 2016 identified several topics and properties for more thorough documentation. There is a potential for additional heritage resources to be identified. The small Merrifield community developed and grew through suburbanization in the early to mid-20th century. By the 1960s through the 1980s, sections of the Merrifield Suburban Center developed with primarily industrial and office uses. Evaluation of potential resources should provide adequate information to determine if a property qualifies as an identified heritage resource.

Environment The environment section of the Policy Plan and the Chesapeake Bay

Preservation Ordinance, within the county’s Comprehensive Plan, guide environmental planning efforts in Fairfax County. The Chesapeake Bay Preservation Ordinance establishes a regulatory framework to protect streams and the Chesapeake Bay from pollution that may result from development. The Policy Plan includes goals and objectives that reflect the belief that environmental protection and preservation are important contributors to a high quality of life. The Merrifield Suburban Center is divivded between the Accotink Watershed and the Cameron Run Watershed. Accotink Creek is currently undergoing a two year Salt Management Strategy (SaMS) process to address Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) levels for chlorides (salt). This process will ultimately develop Best Management Practices (BMPs) and a guiding document to reduce chloride levels in all Northern Virginia (NOVA) watersheds.

Resource Protection Areas (RPAs) The Chesapeake Bay Preservation Ordinance defines RPAs as corridors of environmentally sensitive land located alongside or near the shorelines of streams, rivers, and other waterways. RPAs supply important biological and ecological functions such as protecting water quality, filtering pollutants out of stormwater runoff, reducing the volume of stormwater run off, and preventing erosion.

FEMA 100-Year Floodplain The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) defines 100-year floodplains as the flat areas located adjacent to the main stream channel, which will be covered in a flood event with a one percent (1%) chance of occuring in any given year.

Stormwater Infrastructure The Fairfax County Department of Public Works and Environmental Services operates numerous stormwater facilities and structures to manage stormwater runoff. These include, but are not limited to, dams, drainage ponds, and detention ponds.

he Board of Supervisors’ goal for housing states that opportunities should be available to all who live or work in Fairfax County to purchase or rent safe, decent housing within their means. Affordable and workforce housing should be located as close as possible to employment opportunities, included as a vital element in high density and mixed-use development projects, and encourage in revitilization areas.

PRIVATELY OWNED

Public Facilities P

ublic facilities, including Fire & Rescue, Police, and Library Facilities are part of a network of services and functions provided by the Fairfax County government. These facilities are essential to support the community and enhance the overall quality of life. The county’s present system of public facilities demonstrates a high commitment to service provision and the community’s expectations. As part of current policy, a balance between future land uses and facility quantity and location is considered to maximize accessibility and provide timely responses while minimizing community impact.

PUBLICLY OWNED

Privately Owned Affordable Housing Privately owned housing units include Affordable Dwelling Units (ADUs), Workforce Dwelling Units (WDUs), and units built or acquired with Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC). Affordable Dwelling Units (ADUs) serve households up to 70% median income and are required by the Fairfax County Zoning Ordinance in certain housing developments of 50 or more units. Workforce Dwelling Units (WDUs) may be provided in mid and high-rise buildings which are exempt from ADU requirements. Units can be allocated to three equal tiers of moderate-income housing serving households earning 80%, 100%, and 120% median income. A number of private developments are built or acquired utilizing the LIHTC, generally servicing households up to 60% of the area median income.

Fairfax County Affordable Housing Housing units owned by the Fairfax County Redevelopment and Housing Authority (FCRHA) includes those that are part of the Fairfax County Rental Program and the Rental Assistance Demonstration Program and were acquired with federal, state or local funds. Units that are a part of the Fairfax County Rental Program were developed with funds other than federal public housing funds. Units that are part of the Public Housing Rental Program were built or acquired using federal public housing funds.

The Fairfax County Public Library maintains several facilities in the Greater Merrifield area. They fall under two general categories: Regional Libraries and Community Libraries. These classifications differ in terms of facility size, monthly item circulation, and service hours, with regional libraries being larger in scope and size. The Greater Merrifield area is well served by the Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson local libraries as well as the Tysons-Pimmit and George Mason regional libraries.

These are various maps of the Richmond Highway Corridor Area (Route 1) in Fairfax County. This region is the subject of much focus for redevelopment potential. Housing costs are rising county wide. Mobile homes are a protected class of housing type in Fairfax due to their affordability. These maps show the location of the mobile homes along Route 1 as well as Resource Protection Areas (RPAs), steep slopes, FEMA 100 year floodplains, and bodies of water. County officials used these graphics to better understand the current state of mobile home parks in their jurisidictions.

vision

process

Uplift University is envisioned as an equitable community for individuals with developmental disabilities, located in the heart of the Corryville neighborhood. Using East University Avenue as a connecting artery, five distinctive sites aim to provide a diverse mixture of housing types, programmable spaces, as well as community centric services and amenities.

urban framework diagram

The first steps towards understanding the Corryville neighborhood were taken through the creation of an urban framework diagram. Elements such as community amenities, roadway hierarchy, neighborhood corridors, and public greenspace were identified. This led to the identification of possible development sites and areas of opportunity. During this process, East University Avenue was identified as a key artery for the neighborhood. Once a prominent and vibrant street with a strong commercial presence, it is now a quiet residential corridor largely due to the presence of Martin Luther King Drive as major transit route. Remnants of its glory days remain in the form of vacant commercial spaces and vacant lots just waiting to be utilized again. There was an opportunity to form a distinctive social corridor for Corryville. The subsequent research and analysis led to the creation of an urban design plan.

While a built environment can provide the foundation for an intentional community, it is the services and programming that allow it to truly meet its goals. Through partnerships with local non-profits, businesses, institutions, and commmunity organizations, Uplift University can provide numerous services and opportunities for residents throughout their lives. These include health services, employment opportunities, and other mechanisms to support independent lifestyles.

East University Avenue forms the “spine” of Uplift University. Improvements to the corridor include the undergrounding of utilities, curb bumpouts at key intersections to slow vehicular traffic, curbless sidewalks, and branded streetscape elements. This corridor helps connect the five development sites; University Views, the two Corryville Corners, Eden Cornerstone, and Highland Gardens. Designed to complement existing community amenities, each site provides its own housing options and unique programming. As a whole, Uplift University creates a robust social corridor for Corryville that can be enjoyed by residents and the common public.

UPLIFT UNIVERSITY CAPSTONE PROJECT This 36”x52” poster was the capstone to my senior year. Uplift University is an intentional community designed for individuals with developmental disabilities in mind. University Avenue serves as a central corridor for three residential developments that cater to different populations and age groups. The visual centerpiece of this project is a detailed 3D model showing the existing area and the proposed redevelopment. The model features an accurate topography mesh, to-scale structures, and detailed street features. This project was a recipient of the 2017 DAAP Director’s Choice Award and was featured in the “DAAPWORKS Director’s Choice” exhibition.

These are close-ups of the specific sites of Uplift University. The upper left render is of Eden Cornestone, which contains a mixture of residential units and serves as the primary community meeting space for residents. The upper right render is of Highland Gardens and one of the Corryville Corner developments. To the right is a bird’s-eye view of the full Uplift University project area.

C. PHYSICAL MODELING

COLLEGE HILL MODEL This physical model shows the Community Business District (CBD) of the College Hill neighborhood, which is located in northern Cincinnati. Assembled using cardboard, hot glue, and spray paint, this was a low cost and effective method of showing which buildings were parts of College Hill’s CBD. The model was originally created in Rhino 5 and then later imported into Form-Z. The layers were converted into AutoCAD files. A laser cutter was used to create the base components of the model.

D. CREATIVE WORK Jiro Dreams of Sushi

URBANIZED A DOCUMENTARY FILM BY GARY HUSTWIT

Jiro Ono. Owner of the charming Sukiyabashi Jiro, a restaurant located within the Ginza district of Tokyo, this legendary shokunin crafts what many food enthusiasts would consider the best sushi in the world. The proud recipient of three Michelin stars, he has honed his trade into a form of art. Following a strict and rigorous schedule, Jiro has devoted the majority of his life progressing towards the goal of producing the perfect sushi. With a focus on simplicity, precision, and quality Jiro does not merely enjoy his profession, he has fallen in love with it. Despite countless sacrifices and hardships, Jiro continues his work at the ripe age of 85 and plans to carry on for years to come.
