01 MYTH, MEMORY AND LANDSCAPE
(2018 ASLA STUDENT AWARD HONOREE) PYRAMID LAKE PAIUTE TRIBE RESERVATION Derek Lazo and Serena Lousich Spring 2017
As the terminal lake of the Truckee River, which flows from the Lake Tahoe watershed, the Paiute have watched its waters siphoned away leading to a 100-foot drop in Lake Pyramid and the dessication of Lake Winnemucca, its sister lake, fed through the overflow from Pyramid Lake. The continued fight over water has estranged the tribe from its neighbors of Reno, Sparks and Fallon. The intervention centers around Lake Winnemucca, who’s remnants as a scar have the potential to bridge healing and new understanding between the Paiute and ther neighbors. The installation, whose tectonics speak to Lake Winnemucca’s demise, staged through Paiute myth-telling, provide an immersive recreation of a vital ecosystem now lost while helping to memorialize a lost way of life and ultimately providing a new opportunity for educating the surround neighbors about their relationship to the Paiute and to the delicate environment in this arid region.

ANTICIPATION AND DESPAIR The mother desparately waited to see the signals her children were alive. Soon enough she saw the light of the fire from her southern children, but she never saw the light from the north. Contemplating their doom, she began to weep until a great lake formed beneath her- Pyramid Lake
ISOLATION AND CALCIFICATION Left alone, the burden of losing her children grew heavier and heavier every day. Until one day, she waited so long and her burden grew so heavy that she and her basket turned to stone, standing guard as a reminder to the Paiute of the sorrow that fighting can cause.

Winnemucca Marsh
While it seems Winnemucca may no longer exist, it holds an important memory of what happens when man diverts water from its natural course. Even though Pyramid Lake is large, its levels are still in decline. Since Reno was founded in the 1850s, its water levels have dropped by 92 feet. Thanks to very consistent storm years, Pyramid Lake’s water levels are back on the rise, but if we are not careful, the Lake along with its people may soon disappear.

However, by the 1930s, Lake Winnemucca all but dried out. The Tule grew brittle and eventually gave way to the sage brush ecosystem found elesewhere within the reservation.
Lake Winnemucca was an important resource for the Northern Paiute. It was shallower than Pyramid Lake, which allowed Tule to thrive.

WINNEMUCCA LAKE
The fierce dusty winds, the lack of shade, the bonechilling long nights, caused animals to hide and flee, none of the Numu would ever live there. A master weaver and her daughter were struck by its beauty and potential, so they began to weave great quilts. Thread by thread, their blankets grew. The mother made her blanket thick and heavy while the daughter made hers thin but richly designed with many colors and patterns that reflected the valley beauty. And from each of these great tapestries sprouted life. Fish swam amongst its threads and flocks of birds
18
migrated to nest in its warm fibers. For a long time the valley flourished and life became possible. It became a haven in the harsh landscape, a place where the Numu and the animals could thrive. The mother and her daughter weaved every day over their entire lives, and eventually their work spread wide and far covering the valley floor, always linked to each other, the daughter always alive and well from her mother’s thick and heavy blanket. But the daughter’s bright colors and beautiful patterns caught the attention of the coyotes living in the mountains. They grew very jealous and wanted the blankets for their own, but they were far
too large and heavy for them to steal. They decided to steal the blankets bit by bit, thread by thread. By this time, the mother and daughter had grown very old and the speed they could weave had slowed down. The coyotes grew more and more aggressive and soon had stolen the daughter’s colourful quilt, a significant part of the masterpiece. The mother and daughter tried their best to stop the coyotes and repair the daughters beautiful quilt, but they were overrun. The coyotes had taken everything and with it the fish, plants and birds started to disappear.
But the coyotes greed was insatiable and soon turned their attention to the mother’s quilt. The coyotes grew ever bolder and with swelling numbers they launched wave after wave of raids, stealing the life-giving fibers. The mother had poured her life into her work and because of her energy, life had flourished. She could not stand by and watch her own work and the animals who relied on her be stolen. She journeyed to the center of rich blanket and began to make the blanket thicker and deeper. The daughter never saw her mother again, but knew that she lived on in fibers and threads.
The daughter had grown very old and knew she would need to join her mother soon. In her final days she taught the Numu to weave so they could stop the coyotes and make the tapestry grow once again. The mothers work remains there to this day and is now called Pyramid Lake still being unravelled by the coyotes, but the Numu fighting back with perseverance with the daughters lessons. The daughter’s rich masterpiece leaves a painful scar in the landscape as the dry lakebed of Lake Winnemucca.

02 ONE PRATT PARK | SCHEMATIC DESIGN
HUD REDEVELOPMENT OF TORNADO STRUCK COMMUNITY TLS (formerly Tom Leader Studio) Spring 2016
The Pratt Neighborhood, just outside of Birmingham, AL, was a vibrant working class community until a tornado struck the area in April 2011, leaving a wasteland of debris and homes. Unfortunately, many of the residents were unable to rebuild, leaving empty lots in place of single family homes. In order to reinvigorate the area, HUD proposed developing the library and nearby lot into a large neighborhood park. TLS was selected to develop a proposal for the site and as part of the team, I helped develop the 3D Rhino Model and the Lumion Model which were used to create a video of the proposed design.

03 GUERRERO PARK | NEIGHBORHOOD COMMUNITY PARK
PAVEMENT TO PARK CONVERSION FUNDED BY SUTTER HEALTH HOK Summer 2018
The site was formerly an expansive dead space on the swift moving Guerrero Blvd in San Francisco’s Outer Mission district. The park, funded by Sutter Health, sought to create a community space for play, for gathering, and to serve as an intimate, comfortable respite for the community. The design uses berms in combination with waist-high understory vegetation to provide much needed relief from the thick traffic along Guerrero. The trees are dedciduous, hardy to less than ideal wind and spray conditions, and thus provide seasonal interest and a place to sun bathe during the colder months.

04 THE HEALTHY CITY | 2nd Place
AECOM + VAN ALEN INSTITUTE URBAN SOS INTERNATIONAL URBAN DESIGN COMPETITION Group Entry: Derek Lazo, Vincent Agoe, Mark Wessels, and Serena Lousich Spring 2017
One in every two Americans has a chronic disease such as diabetes or heart disease. The Healthy City team proposes a series of programmed “loops” (neighborhood paths and regional transit) that connect communities in Oakland to the resources and physical campuses of major health care providers. By working with communities, non-profit healthcare providers such as Kaiser, and the city, we propose investing in the built enironment so that making the healthiest choice is the easiest choice. Using Kaiser’s Oakland Medical Campus as a design laboratory, we propose new interventions that increase access and exercise in neighboring Mosswood Park, as well as many amenities hidden in the surrounding neighborhood.

BOTTOM RIGHT The team identified healthcare providers and their surrounding catchment areas, which if providers invested in their neighborhoods, could potentially see a reduction in prevalence of chronic disease.

Here the ACTIVITY LOOP (shown in blue) breaks the fortress and pulls patients and visitors into the park, while visally extending Kaiser into its neighborhood.

05 RICHMOND COVE | FERRY TERMINAL PROPOSAL 1st Year CORE STUDIO: Richard Hindle UC Berkeley, 2015
10
The program for this studio asked us to design a ferry terminal site at the Craneway Pavillion, a historic manufacturing site of WWII-era munitions, and ensure that the design would capture three key elements: (1) A functional ferry terminal w/ parking (2) Civic gathering space for Richmond residents (3) Improved ecological services or habitat The design intervention satisfies all three requirements and provides both a functional service, ferry terminal, and a naturalistic experience, the new Richmond Cove beach, allowing visitors to access the water’s edge in a safe, tranquil setting.

06 EAVESDROP | BUZZ ON THE STREET
COMPETITION FOR THE MARKET STREET PROTOTYPING FESTIVAL Team: Vincent Agoe, Alison Ecker, David Koo, Yang Liu, Gino Orlando, and Mark Wessels
BACK
FRONT
The installation was envisioned to connect visitors to the Market Street Prototyping Festival through the act of eavesdropping. Using microphones hidden inside the other prototypes, the project invited listeners to spy on their fellow visitors. EAVESDROP played on the irresistible impulse to listen, while raising questions about surveillance and privacy in the public realm. How does it feel while you secretly listen to the public lives of others? And how do you feel when you realize you are being listened to? Working with other prototyping teams, we were able to convince six other teams to allow us to bug their installations with microphones, which would feedback into our switchboard. Using coax cables, we imagined listeners could switch to different locations much like switchboard telephone operators of yesterday.

Our education becomes the lens through which we see the landscape. Here the silhouette of the bear serves as a proxy, the pseduo-topography lines allude to our intervention in the envrionment while the hills and redwoods abstract the landscape around the University of California, Berkeley.
