CITY WALK PROVIDENCE “Stiching back together the urban fabric through streets, parking, green space, retail, and visual identity”
Brooklyn Navy Yard The Brooklyn Navy Yard is a shadow of its former self. My concept for redevlopment was to honor and reimagine the former industrial site. I took existing elements of the sites and abstracted what they were to the landscape. By doing this exercise I came up with four distinct landscapes that would serve as the context for the new Media Hub development. These four landscape types were Forest, Lawn, Eng足 lish Landscape, and Grassland.

Baltimore Orchard “Creating a Productive Landscape”
{Design Approach} The designs overarching goals are reducing food deserts, providing healthy food for community residents, creating a low maintenance space, and providing habitat for pollinators and local wildlife. An asymmetrical design was chosen to blend into the community space, while providing new movement paths within the neighborhood. The park provides an ideal mix of seating, shade, and visual interest. The space is set up so that larger Grimes Golden Apples trees line the exterior, and big Sweetheart Cherry trees line the interior. Medium height Honey Sweet Pears fill in the space between these two species to create a undulating canopy height that maximizes the amount of sun that the fruit trees receive. Maximizing sun exposure maximizes the amount of fruit that the trees will be able to produce, and provides a larger harvest yield. Part of my design approach was eliminating grass which costs Baltimore 760 dollars in maintenance per vacant lot. I used this budget instead for the pruning and cleanup of the fruit during the harvest season.

The NW Grama site is ideally positioned to connect Gwynns Falls park to Hanlon Park. This could potentially be one linkage in a larger Baltimore green ring.

Professional Work In the summer of 2012 I worked as a Landscape Architecture Intern for AMT Engineering in Rockville, Maryland. Most of the projects that I worked on are ongoing. Other than the CAD locator plan basemap for Gude Gardens all the work was my own.
