CHAD ANDREW EVANS // san diego, california • bachelor of landscape architecture, expected graduation: june 2017 • california polytechnic state university, san luis obispo
Welcome, and thank you for letting me share my passions with you. My love for landscape architecture started with the stroke of a brush. As a teenager, I used acrylic and watercolors to express shape and form. As I grew older, film and digital photography allowed to capture moments of life too quick for a canvas. Landscape architecture is the perfect medium between these two. Crafting spaces that illustrate onto the urban fabric while creating pockets of life that cater to the human experience; this has become my life’s work. Lets create together,

BAY CENTER SIGNAGE CONCEPT
INSPIRATION
PRIMARY SIGN
Bay Center is a commercial office campus in the San Fransisco suburb of Foster City. Inspired by Robert Irwin’s Miracle Mile at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the sign uses metal fins to replicate the movement and diversity in Irwin’s piece. Similar to Irwin’s piece, the sign will respond to the vehicular energy and movement located around the site as light bounces off the angled metal fins. LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

Cal Poly’s Engineering Building 13 had it’s lawn areas removed from the front of the building as part of Cal Poly’s effort to reduce water usage on campus. My scheme for a new planting design is a contemporary Californian design with native and Mediterranean plants and built in seating areas for students.

project profile: DE ANZA COVE // san diego, california San Diego’s Mission Bay is a prime example of how humans have altered the environment for financial gain. Once a thriving estuary of the San Diego River, it was dredged up 1950’s to become a recreational water-sport destination. De Anza Cove is a man made peninsula in the bay that once held a trailer and RV park. Now that the lease for the trailer park has expired, the city of San Diego has been given an opportunity to reclaim some of its bay-front property. By reincorporating some of the originally lost ecological systems in the cove, Mission Bay can once again become a destination for more than just its human visitors. 16

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT
INSPIRATION
LOGO
California Bull Kelp or Nereocystis luetkeana as scientists call it, is a keystone species for the West Coast’s marine life. This hardy annual marine plant forms the backbone of kelp forest habitats, which are home to thousands of species. The gentle form of the plants curves and bubbles felt perfect for introducing a new ecological integrity to the bay.
18
CONCEPT ONE
CONCEPT TWO
CONCEPT THREE
This concept focuses on maintaining some of the key existing features of the site: the RV Park and Sports Complex. The marsh restoration is minimal, but a tidal channel is introduced to improve water flow in the cove.
This concept is more generous with the marsh restoration and replaces the RV park with a nature center, with provisions for less intrusive tent camping. The tidal channel in this concept is turned toward the creek for more freshwater flow in the cove.
This final concept brings together elements from both previous concepts while introducing a new circulatory path that connects De Anza Cove to the rest of the Mission Bay trail system.

BIORENTION SYSTEM
GREEN STREET TO WETLAND Primarily a tourist destination, Mission Bay lacks connectivity to the surrounding neighborhoods and urban context. In addition to new bay-front trail systems, the design uses a series of water treatment systems to carry water from the street to constructed wetlands, then into natural wetlands in the bay. The surrounding urban areas will then become a part of the overall Mission Bay watershed and ecological system.

The De Anza Public Pool is a unique recreational feature that is sure to be an enjoyment for both residents and visitors alike. The expansive wood dock creates a natural pool and diving platform inside the protected cove waters. This feature allows the cove to be enjoyed in more ways than a traditional beach experience.

CAMPUS DESIGN

project profile: THE QUAD // san luis obispo, california 4th year - cultural environments studio Cal Poly San Luis Obispo is a rapidly growing university. Poised for expansive growth, the center of campus continues to shift northward as new buildings are added to the campus landscape. The existing Campus Market Plaza area was already re purposed to become a pedestrian mall. As Cal Poly enters the 21st century, it must adapt once more to cater to an evolving student body. 26

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT
SKETCH
LOGO
A connection between newer and older parts of campus, the Campus Market area’s design was inspired by the connections within it. Lines were drawn between the proposed building locations to anticipate the way users would move through the site. From the framework of movement on the site, the rest of the areas took shape.

the
Quad
AREA GROUPING STUDY
PROPOSED CIRCULATION STUDY
The proposed buildings for the Campus Market area build off the existing pedestrian mall be creating a large rectilinear open space.
After placing the footprints of the proposes buildings, lines were drawn to connect what would be the future lines of circulation throughout the site.
PAVEMENT STUDY
MASSING STUDY
Those lines created a series of triangles, that becomes a series of angular spaces divided by pavement color and type.
Despite the angular forms, the major pedestrian flow through the site is linear, and can be defined through plant material.
