where do good id While all design projects require a tailored approach, I adhere to a general design framework. Each project advances upon a foundation of synthesized analysis, program development, concept development, design development, and communication. All design ideas are filtered by artistic, functional, cultural, economic, and environmental values. The process is both cyclic and adaptive.

En Breve
JkYied" 7h_pedW$# H Hace ace cinco años cuando cerraron la ma ma-quiladora en Fronteras, Sono Sono-ra, dicho lugar estuvo a punto de convertirse en un pueblo fantasma. Muchos se fueron a buscar empleo al pueblo vecino, Es Es-queda, otros resultaron involu involu-crados en la venta de drogas y algunos recurrieron a cruzar la frontera de manera ilegal para buscar trabajo aquí en Estados Unidos. El pueblo de mil 500 habitan habitan-tes –situado a una media hora al Sur de Douglas- sobrevivió por su ganado, cultivos, y en gran parte gracias a los camioneros que hacen paradas. “Si la carretera no pasara por ahí, el pueblo no existiría”, dijo Roberto Valenzuela, en una visita que él y su esposa Alice hicie hicie-ron al Colegio de Arquitectura de University of Arizona (Colle (Colle-ge of Architecture & Landscape Architecture) la semana pasada, donde están recibiendo ayuda de estudiantes para revitalizar el pueblo. Los Valenzuela crían ganado en Fronteras, pero también es es-tán liderando los esfuerzos para el desarrollo del poblado. Instituyeron una cooperati cooperati-va compuesta mayormente por mujeres -conocida en la región como Las Chicas Bravas por tra tra-bajar contra la corrupción políti políti-ca- para impulsar el turismo. También han establecido una nueva maquiladora y atraído a dos inversionistas que posible posible-mente les brindarán entre 500 y mil empleos nuevos.

Por eso la pareja de activistas ha solicitado la ayuda del grupo de estudiantes llamado Tejido, que hace proyectos de planifica planificación urbana. Los estudiantes se rotan de manera constante, pero el grupo a través de los años se ha ganado cuatro premios del Arizona Planning Association, compitiendo contra compañías profesionales. Los estudiantes actuales están creando un plan maestro que indica cómo se puede aprovechar mejor el patrimonio de Fronte Fronteras, dónde se pueden agrupar futuras construcciones según el uso, e incluye sugerencias sobre la estética de las propiedades, explicó Daniel Bradshaw, uno de los estudiantes.
04 ESSENCE OF REUNION CAMPUS PLAZA
Project Location: Tucson, Arizona Size: 1.75 acres Design Team: Brendan Nuriddin Barch Daniel Bradshaw MLA Project Description: The University of Arizona’s “Essence of Reunion” enlivens the senses, invigorates the psyche, and energizes the soul of every student, faculty member, and campus visitor that immerses them self in this introspective landscape. The shared open space elevates appreciation for the Sonoran Desert and nurtures regional identity within the urban environment. The “Essence of Reunion” advocates integration amongst academic disciplines and encourages outdoor learning. This intellectual landscape also endorses constructive social interaction and promotes personal retrospection. The grounds enliven visitors of all abilities throughout each season of the year, and provide a safe and secure atmosphere in which one may positively experience diverse cultural encounters.

06 FLOOD RINGS STREETSCAPE DESIGN Project Location: Tucson, Arizona Size: .5 acres Design Team: Daniel Bradshaw MLA Project Description: “Flood Rings” pocket park and streetscape rejoices in the event of storm water deluge. This xeric garden sustains a myriad of native Sonoran plant species, through the positioning of rainwater collecting terraces and catch dams. These terraces mimic the shape of raindrop ripples, and venerate the splash of life giving monsoonal showers. While naturalistic rainwater harvesting systems often stifle thoughtful interpretative experiences, the explicit aesthetic design of “Flood Rings” showcases the parks sustainable purpose. Each mini-basin facilitates the slowing, spreading, and sinking of storm water. The eastern terraces receive a large amount of water runoff from the garden’s adjacent asphalt parking lot, while the western basins collect overflowing storm water from 6th street below. All terraces advance the surplus rainwater toward the northernmost basin, and then direct the cascade on to the bordering urban wash. “Flood Rings” pocket park and streetscape appeals to the automotive traveler and pedestrian alike. Desert Willow trees flank the adjoining roadsides with precise alignment and provide a sense of human scale for those traveling by car. This interpretive streetscape also greets the populace traveling toward downtown Tucson. Large shrubs border the eastern chain link fence and screen the unsightly parking lot. The exactitude of border plantings juxtapose pleasantly with “gap and clump” plantings within the garden’s core. This untamed interior provides a pleasant respite from the sterile exterior asphalt environment. A pedestrian foot path also shortcuts the outer walkway, and promotes the creation of a southern sidewalk.

07 URBAN TWILIGHT GARDEN ARTISTIC EXPLORATION
Project Location: Theoretical Planting Design Size: NA Muhlenbergia dumosa, 5 gal., (65)
Design Team: Daniel Bradshaw MLA Project Description: The “Urban Twilight Garden” merges the artistic mind-set of Claude Monet with the harmonious landscape applications of Kathryn Gustafson. The Garden is a metropolitan plaza associated with retail and entertainment space. The landscape emphasizes light and movement while providing a peaceful respite from the busy city surroundings. Desert Adapted Vegetation reflects the light of the moon and as well as various city lights. The seasonal transformation of the Red Oak provides an ever evolving anchor within the plaza. the softer plant materials move freely in a light breeze. The plant palette is simple, but bold. A 15’ tall mirrored tube also rises elegantly from the center of the site. The tube reflects movement within the city and encourages visitors to view the plaza through a “new lens”. The top portion of the tube lights the plaza at night and mimics the canopy of the garden’s several tree species. Sensors within the tube manage the intensity of the light; it corresponds with the brightness of the moon. A large rectangular passageway provides an interactive entrance to the upper level of the plaza. The roof of the passageway also functions as a water feature. Harvested storm water sheets along the top of the roof until it spills over the entrance of the rectangle. Visitors enter the passage from the side and experience the back of the waterfall. The variety of view sheds and elevations within the site offers unique visitor experiences throughout each day, night and season of the year.

08 SAN LUIS OBISPO LAND ANALYSIS McHARG OVERLAY G.I.S. ANALYSIS Project Location: San Luis Obispo, California Analysis Team: Daniel Bradshaw MLA Dustin Hancock MLA Eirin Bareis MLA Task: Use McHarg Overlay Method of GIS landscape analysis to determine the most suitable location for future development in San Luis Obispo, California. Project Description: The McHarg Overlay analysis requires the creation of a model in which social values (the cost or benefit of any proposed development) determine the most suitable area for development. These social values include cultural and environmental factors. These factors are used to generate transparent gradient maps. The darkest gradients reveal the areas most suitable for development.

09 WEST DAVIS PARKS ANALYSIS G.I.S. LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS Project Location: Davis, California Analysis Team: Daniel Bradshaw MLA Task: Determine if/where it may be appropriate to establish parks and greenbelts in West Davis, California. Analysis: West Davis currently supports a variety of open spaces. The majority people living within the project area reside within .5 miles of a community or neighborhood park. Park buffers identify residences within .25 miles of a park. This analysis indicates that the north western corner of the community lacks easy access to a park or green belt. This location, however, does support a large amount of public open space and natural habitat. Both features are also designated as ponds. The public open space appears to be used as a detention basin, and may allow for the creation of a neighborhood park. A lack of green belts and bike paths deter the space from serving the greater community. Those elements might integrate smoothly with the natural habitat. The western boundary of the project area is in desperate need of green belts and bike paths. The low density development on this boundary may have the appropriate space required to establish a system of bike paths.

10 WASATCH DEVELOPMENT STUDY G.I.S. LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS
Project Location: Wasatch Front (Utah County), Utah Analysis Team: Daniel Bradshaw MLA Task: Determine where it may be appropriate to establish a 250 acre mixed use development along the Wasatch Front, Utah. Analysis: The area best suited for the future construction of a 250 acre mixed used development sits within the south western portion of the project boundary. This development will border the north eastern section of the city of Spanish Fork. This city currently supports 20,000 people, as well as a variety of industrial and commercial spaces. The bus system within Spanish Fork may not need expand much beyond its current route to foster public transportation within the new development. The historic district of Springville will also remain unencroached.

DANIEL BRADSHAW DESIGN PORTFOLIO
The proposed development will rest upon present agricultural fields, just east of a minor stream bed. The area is located away, however, from any major wetlands or waterbeds. The liquefaction potential is low, and the area is devoid of known landslides. Slope is gentle. An array of neighboring landforms may offer varied recreational endeavors. This proposed location resides just west of the National Forest and Wildlife Reserve and may promote ecotourism within the region.

11 WILLAMETTE DEVELOPMENT STUDY G.I.S. LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS Project Location: Willamette, Oregon Analysis Team: Daniel Bradshaw MLA Task: Determine where it may be appropriate to develop within Willamette, Oregon. Analysis: Willamette, OR is heavily developed within separate residential and commercial zones. One mixed use neighborhood does sit within the center of the eastern half of the town. A variety of rivers pass through the northern and eastern halves of the site; however, wildlife habitat mainly resides within the northwestern and southeastern corners of the town. A central river currently connects these prominent wildlife habitats. More than half of the city rests upon gently sloped terrain, while the more mountainous regions of the town lie within the southern half of the site. As I contemplated potential development within the city, I aimed to locate parcels of land that would benefit social systems as well as environmental systems. The first potential development zone is located within the center of the northern boundary of the city. This wetland location sits at the crux of a commercial corridor and residential sprawl. I would propose a mixed use development to connect the previously divided spaces. This location is gently sloped, recognizes no wildlife habitat, and borders one river. The second potential development site is located within the southeastern corner of the site. The only information available for this section shows that the site is gently sloped and welcomes several rivers. The location does border wildlife habitat and wetlands. It sits just south of the Dorris Ranch Park. This potential development site is not ideal, but growth within the city is limited.

12 TUCSON CONNECTIONS G.I.S. LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS Project Location: Tucson, Arizona Analysis Team: Daniel Bradshaw MLA Task: Determine the most beneficial location of a greenway system in Tucson, Arizona. Analysis: Like many metropolitan cities throughout the American south-west, Tucson, Arizona has perpetuated a steady stream of suburban expansion and sprawl for many years. Roads designed primarily for the automobile rarely cater to the needs of the pedestrian. Sprawl impedes upon wildlife habitat and disrupts the flow of plants and animals. Most daily destinations are spread across long distances. Many close destinations are inaccessible by foot. This project identifies the location of a potential greenway/ pedestrian system within Tucson, Arizona, that connects areas of high human interest and activity. Although these pedestrian systems will encourage and enhance recreational endeavors, the basis for location selection relies upon function. These corridors must take travelers where they need to go (i.e. commercial districts, schools, high density residential developments, parks, etc.).
