A PLACE TO STUDY IS A SPACE THAT IS QUIET AND PEACEFUL, WHERE THE STUDENT IS ABLE TO FOCUS ON WHAT’S IMPORTANT. AS JAMES TURRELL’S SKYSPACE AND THE DIANE AND BRUCE HALL SKYSPACE GARDEN ARE MADE FOR TRANQUILITY, I THOUGHT IT BEST TO INSERT MY GRAFT ON THIS LANDSCAPE. I CREATED AND ADDED IT IN A WAY WHERE IT WILL CAMOUFLAGE TO ITS SURROUNDINGS WHILE STILL BEING ABLE TO STAND OUT. THE DOME SHAPE IS MADE TO BREAK THE RIGIDNESS OF THE BUILDINGS THAT SURROUND THE SITE WHILE THE MATERIALITY CONCEALS THE SPACE, ESPECIALLY WHEN GLANCED AT FROM AFAR. I PLACED MY GRAFT ONTO THE LANDSCAPE WITH THE ENTRYWAY FACING THE BIODESIGN BUILDINGS SO THAT INDIVIDUALS INSIDE THE SPACE CAN ENJOY MORE OF THE NATURE SCENERY WHILE WORKING.

BIODESIGN LANDSCAPE W/ JAMES TURREL SKYSPACE DUHA HASAN AND ALI MCAULIFF | PROFESSOR THOMAS HARTMAN
James Turrell’s Skyspace: Air Apparent has two identical north and south entrances. This project is not fully solid or tranparent but it allows more light into the space. At sunrise and sunset, programmed LED lights placed on the Skyspace ceiling optimize color perception. Because of its large ceiling plane, it is able to provide shade slightly beyond the actual structure. People can move in and out of Skyspace through its north and south entrances. Inside is a large open space with seating on the walls. James Turrell’s Skyspace is located next to ASU Biodesign Institute.

BRITTLEBUSH (ENCELIA FARINOSA) DUHA HASAN | PROFESSOR THOMAS HARTMAN The brittlebush is found mostly in southern and western Arizona on dry, rocky/gravelly slopes and mesas. It is most valuable for rehabilitating low maintenance landscapes, critical stabilization areas, and disturbed areas. It is also used to minimze erosion and sediment damage near highways in Arizona. Encelia Farinosa grows rounded to a height between two and five feet with a woody base and thick branches that support the leaves.
Brittlebush flower extends several inches above the leaves, grows between two to three inches in diameter, and blooms yellow in March, April, and May.
The leaves are grayish-green in color and grow 0.72in long and 0.6-1in wide. Hairs on the leaves protect it from the heat and cold. Photo Credit: Sally and Andy Wasowski
BARRINGER METEOR CRATER DUHA HASAN PROFESSOR THOMAS HARTMAN 1. Nickel-iron meteorite approaches the ground at ~30,000 mph.

Around 50,000 years ago, the Barringer Meteor Crater was formed when a 30 to 50 meter across, 300,000 ton nickel-iron asteriod hit the Earth near Flagstaff, AZ at a speed of ~30,000 mph. What was left was a ~1.2km diameter crater with a depth of ~180m and a circumference of ~3.8km. The rim of the crater is raised 30 to 60 meters above the surrounding plain.

2. The meteorite enters the ground and the land material is compressed. The speed of the meteor slows down to ~11,000 mph. A mixture of land fragments, fused rock, and meteoritic material forms around the empty space. A shock front moves away from the unfilled space, causing it to expand and the combination of material to shoot out. 3. The shock front reaches its limit at which the beds will be overturned.
4. The mixture of earth and meteorite fragments is thrown out of the crater at different trajectories.
5. Fragments that were thrown in a lower direction land on top of each other in an inverted order. Mixed material on the wall of the crater collects in the center. Fragments thrown at a higher altitude come down to create a layer of diverse matter outside of the crater.
