DOMINIC MACK III

Master of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Urban Design Candidate projected graduation: May 2018

ABOUT ME Landscape architecture’s ability to create a connection between people and experience throughout environmental urban conditions has peaked Dominic’s interest in the field. The concepts of creating experiential values throughout the public open space, integrating architecture and the urban environment with the landscape and ecology, and displaying the different forms of urban spaces are the main topics within landscape architecture he wishes to pursue.

ESPANOLA | REGIONAL ANCHOR I nnov a t ion D is t rict E s p a nola , New Me xico Espanola, New Mexico has a diverse set of existing resources to tap into in order to develop a cohesive redevelopment masterplan. This project was done in collaboration with Shaylin Castillo, Karen Chu Metz and Maidy Martinez. As a member of the team, my responsibility lied within the Innovation District. Because of the main thoroughfares tha t pierce the district’s core, the location of Norther n New Mexico College (a 4-Year college prominent for STEM Research), as well as the Rio Grande and other geological assets, the site was chosen to become Espanola’s new Innovation District. The key topics for the district were:

Espanola, New Mexico is the center piece to some of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s engineered powerhouses. Some of those cities include: Taos, Los Alamos, Santa Fe and Albuquerque. Since these are within an hour drive (with the exception of Albuquerque) we thought of this new development to be known as the Regional Anchor of Northern New Mexico allowing maximum potential to connect to its neighboring cities to thrive into its own powerhouse of opportunity.

Through Espanolaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s existing resources, the class was able to develop districts to cater to its existing character. Some of these included the Medical Arts District, Arts + Entertainment District, Commercial District, Civic District, Town Center, and the Innovation District. To develop the masterplan, first an exercise of infrastructural layers was conducted to build the relationship between society, culture and the built form.

After developing the infrastructural layers, I developed a cohesive framework through established streetscape designs that were oriented toward the public realm in order to serve for the pedestrian-first mind-set. This allowed for a hierarchy of different street-types to subdivide traffic patterns and allow for more public space. Overall, the streets were meant to: • Promote a Live/Work lifestyle • Allow indoor and outdoor spaces to become a canvas for experimentation • Active the public realm through a mixed-use development • Supporting a diverse public life • Creating vibrant places for commerce • Create convenient and frequent connections • Enhance ecological sustainability

INTERPRETIVE LANDSCAPES EC OL a b A r t I ns t i tute Mia mi, Flor id a The studio was to explore critical landscape architectural solutions that negotiate the dynamics among the Urban Development Boundary (UDB), the quarry infrastructure, and the urban and agricultural development in the context of a sensitive ecosystem. Strategies that can accommodate landscapes + infrastructures in order to promote recreation, educational benefits, energy generation, habitat, a nd water quality. The project goals were to create an environment that:

LIVING WATER Cult ura l + Ec olog ic a l M itiga tio n Mid -Bea c h, Mia m i, Flo rida Living Water aims to propose a framework to bring sociological diversity, programmatic flexibility, and ecological storm-water and surge protection/prevention. Through these processes, it will establish process of religious, cultural, and a morphological grammar for cohesive cultural identity. Through methods of re-claiming the public realm and pedestrian priority, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Living Waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; strives to engage the boundaries of the creek, in order to develop a series of edge conditions dealing with natural plant communities, green infrastructure and storm-water filtration. The project goals to improve the culture and ecology are:

1 2 3 4 5 24

M U LT I - F U N C T I O N A L G R E E N S PA C E S protecting the community from flooding, cleaning the water, as well as connecting people with nature while allowing wildlife and natural conditions to thrive

V A L U E O F U R B A N H A B I TAT S green spaces will demonstrate the value of urban habitats in the area - ranging from urban wildlife to the vegetation that is implemented

R E S T O R E N AT U R A L C O N D I T I O N S create a template for restoration of nature within the urban core along the edge conditions of the existing creek thoroughfare to improve quality of life, protection of storm surge, and promote engagement with the water

ACTIVATE THE WATERWAY By implementing rentals for kayaks, paddle boarding, etc. it will give pedestrians a programmed activity to engage the water

PRIORITIZE THE PEDESTRIAN ZONE because of the cultural impact on the area, foot traffic is relatively high year around - and prioritizing the pedestrian zone by creating safer conditions will allow for foot traffic to be executed more fluently

H2OASIS

Sm a ll U r b a n Sp aces M ia mi Bea c h, Florida The vision of H 2OASIS is to restore the feel of a tidal swamp from the Everglades into an under-utilized public area and establish itself as an oasis for social gathering, making it a destination to the city. It will serve as a public space that provides relief and refuge from the oppression of the surrounding urban environment. H2OASIS is an isolated area of vegetation and program in a dense urban environment, which allows it to become a place for sanctuary. The project educates the civilians on what many of us ignore when it comes to South Florida â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Everglades. The sensitivity of the project in retur n for ms a direct connection between the built environment and nature.
