The Garden of Curiosities One of the top three concepts selected for the Student Ideas Competition, Public Green Space Windeckbunker - Study Abroad Semester Bonn, Germany

Manifesto Maximilian Landschaftspark draws upon the curiosity of the viewer, and the inherently diverse qualities of the site to encourage gently choreographed movement through the space. With no specific order to explore the features, each person’s experience is unique as they discover new qualities at their own pace. This curiosity is in turn rewarded with perfectly framed views, distorted perceptions, and a sequence of enjoyable spaces tailored to meet the needs of the city.

Art Workshop Influence #BonnPinkPigeons During a 3 day art workshop the concept of the pink pigeon was developed. By the third day, 100 pink pigeons populated the Windeckbunker lawn in an attempt to draw attention to the site through making an ordinary pigeon something unordinary, unexpected and in the end quite beautiful. With high hopes, the pigeons developed a social media presence and anxiously awaited their flight with new owners from across the city.

Rather than 100 permanent pink pigeons, 200 movable pink chairs catch the eye and provide a welcome relief within the “seating desert” of center city Bonn.

Street Revitalization - Stormworks @ Willow

Golumbic Scholarship Award Exhibit Project - Humanistic Achievement
I 95
northern liberties
Abstract The Willow Street Revitalization project worked to bring a forgotten curvilinear street within Philadelphia’s grid back to life by reinterpreting the history of the site. The design process behind the Stormworks @ Willow focused on the street’s history as a natural stream corridor. Urban forms were determined through abstracting the natural typologies of the curves along Willow Street. A series of pools/ cut banks, riffles and runs inspire the forms of buildings and street furnishings. In the urban condition the flow of people replace the flow of the water, revealing an experiential journey through the city.

West College Avenue Farmstead Study Golumbic Scholarship Award Exhibit Project - Humanistic Achievement Abstract The West College Avenue Farmstead Study worked to explore alternatives to the traditional suburban development pattern at the edge of the sprawling development on West College Avenue in State College, PA. The farmstead study focused on patterns where people live with the land rather than simply on the land. This pattern was achieved through the use of permaculture, or permanent agriculture, and an integrated community based housing system. The site was designed to be developed through a series of stages with small residential clusters forming through time as the agricultural fields become productive and profitable. Structure Interdisciplinary Design Studio with Architecture and Landscape Architecture undergraduate and graduate students. The entire class worked on one model for development with each student or small group of students investigating specific aspects within the design. My focus within the project was the permaculture systems for the North Fields on the Site and the compilation of all the design pieces into one AutoCAD document. Penn State Campus

Southwest Cross Cultural Trail Conceptual Design - Southwest Adventure Studio Abstract The Southwest Cross Cultural Trail (SCCT) connects the various cultures, geologies, ecosystems and climates between the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and the mountains of Santa Fe into an immersive, long distance trail with a focus on the cultures and geology of the land it traverses. The trail draws upon historic patterns of movement and growth that result in an intimate knowledge of the course traveled. Winding through the many complex landscapes and cultures of the southwest, the SCCT works to promote cultural awareness and provide hikers with a deeper understanding of the land they are traversing. Structure The Southwest Adventure Studio was a 6 week summer session where 7 students and 2 professors spent 2 weeks of prep work in State College before embarking on a 4 week long immersive camping/ driving tour covering over 4,000 miles in the American Southwest. The trip culminated with a design project which challenged students to incorporate the cultural and natural wonders of the region into a conceptual design.

Old Orchard Wildlife Preserve Conceptual - Regional Design Studio Concept The wildlife preserve conceptual plan for the old prison orchard site in Nittany Valley, PA facilitates the creation of a variety of recreational opportunities while enhancing and preserving valuable wildlife habitat. The habitat maintained by the preserve works to increase the presence of natural lands within the Spring Creek Watershed and creates a large patch of habitat within the fragmented landscape.

Residential Master Plan Professional Work - David Christian and Associates, Inc. - Landscape Architecture Description This residential master plan is the result of 4 sketch plans which were presented to the clients and refined into the final plan on the right. Through in depth discussion and design charrettes with the clients, the landscape plan came to life. Some of the ideas that were chosen include a 3 paneled wooden privacy screen (shown on the right hand page), subtle hints of a dry riverbed in an existing swale, framing the front corner of the house, a meadow to replace the back portion of the lawn and a patio expansion which fades into the lawn.

Manheim Farmshow Building Planting Plan Professional Work - David Christian and Associates, Inc. - Landscape Architecture Concept The design for the Manheim Farmshow Building was implemented by community volunteers shortly after its completion and was featured in a local newspaper. Located near beautiful Lancaster County farm country, and used for hosting Farm Show events, the concept of farm fields inspired the planting scheme with year round interest as a key component. The mix of grasses and perennials were chosen based on their color, form and texture. In summer the grasses resemble a productive field of corn with reclaimed barn stones forming a clean border. In the fall and winter (when the building is most used) the grasses take on a beautiful golden color resembling fields of wheat at harvest and the perennials which provided pops of color in the summer retain interesting seed pods and forms which break up the field of golden grasses. Native plants were prioritized and the plantings buzz with pollinators during the spring and summer months.

Experimenting with Landform Published Work - “Representing Landscapes: Digital” Description Pablo Picasso’s Girl Before a Mirror painting provided a base for abstraction into a series of landforms during a grading and modeling workshop. These landforms were first developed into a detailed grading plan by hand, then in AutoCAD, a 3D foam core model, and a digital Rhino Model which was used to create a series of renderings depicting the possible uses of the space. The Sunset Rendering shown on the right was selected and published in Nadia Amoroso’s “Representing Landscapes: Digital” in 2015.

Description This permaculture research was completed during the Ridge and Valley Design Studio which worked on the West College Avenue Farmstead Study. Techniques and costs/ revenues involved with permaculture as an alternative to traditional agriculture were compiled into a short booklet to inform the other students in the class about permaculture Model 2 and how it could be used in our design. After contacting Midwest Permaculture for information, it was decided that the booklet could be very useful for teaching the basics Community Permaculture System of permaculture to more than just our class and the booklet was published as an ebook available as a free download on Midwest Permaculture’s website.

Wood Fabrication Other Interests Description In addition to landscape architecture I enjoy the challenges involved with designing and fabricating with wood. Below are a few of the projects I have designed and built. Bee boxes made from pine and stained with a homemade non toxic stain to encourage pollinators in the garden, a pine and cherry pencil box that was completed as a part of being certified to work in the Stuckeman Family Building woodshop, a black walnut end table, and a set of black walnut shift knobs for a manual truck that were turned on the lathe.

Black and White Film Photography Other Interests - Introduction to Photochemical Photography Description Over the course of the Spring 2015 semester I learned how to process film and print images as a part of a black and white film photography course. In addition to learning the chemistry and process of film, I am continuing to develop my skills as a photographer. The following photographs are ones that I have personally created, processed and then scanned into a digital format.
