The Delray Carbon Forest University of Virginia, Manifesto Studio ▪ 2019 Julie Bargmann The Manifesto studio asked that we apply our individual, personal convictions as designers to a city challenged with blight. The Delray neighborhood, rich in history and resources that kick-started Detroit’s industrialization, currently suffers intense land-use clashes. Plans for a new U.S. Customs plaza and bridge to Canada have displaced many people. Remaining residents lament their declining health but desperately want to remain close to their community. The Delray Carbon Forest is my response to the sustained environmental injustice wrought from decades of imbalanced planning. It’s a strategy whereby current occupants can choose to become part of reforestation efforts. At the new forest’s core is a series of hedgerow prototypes, including woodland bosques. This urban form can flex into tight urban corridors, and it holds great promise as an industrialstrength air filter. My hope is that these prototypes can give new life to Delray and serve as a template for similar metropolitan areas experiencing post-industrial change.

NO MEASUREMENT TAKEN

Initial Risk Screening Level (IRSL) is the level at which a carcinogen present in the atmosphere could create an excess of a one-in-a million-risk of cancer incidence in a given population exposed to a chemical continuously for 24 hours a day, over 70 years (an assumed lifetime). Data is from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality’s 2017 Air Quality Annual Report.

The Sisseton-Wahpeton Cultural Center University of Virginia, Indigenous Ecologies studio â–Ş 2018 Phoebe Crisman, David Edmunds The Cultural Center, commissioned by the Dakotah Sisseton-Wahpeton tribe, is the celebration of Dakotah heritage. The Center houses and embodies harmonious ecologies, resilience and independence, and indigenous craft and knowledge. It will serve as a destination for students, tribal members, and invited visitors to the reservation seeking meaningful cross-cultural exchanges. An integrated mix of interior and exterior spaces will encourage learning and community interaction, while the planting scheme reinforces connection with indigenous landscapes. Actual construction will occur in the Lake Traverse reservation in the Dakota states. The studio tightly collaborated across disciplines for all production. Drawings published by me are indicated by . I helped develop the convergence concept, worked extensively on the master plan and construction documentation, crossreferenced plant palettes, and researched berm development, rammed earth, and paving.

Left: The circular shape, central to the Dakotah and other indigenous cultures, represents perfect wholeness, unity, and communal spirit.

Right: Numerous concept sketches were developed by the studio. The design addresses extreme climates, negativity toward “carpentered,� rectangular forms embodied by government-built housing , and the legacies of cultural displacement (poverty, substance abuse, and youth suicides). The final design response sensitively integrates cultural revival, inclusivity, physical comfort, aesthetic, and technical considerations. 8

The Tiotipi anchors the entire site and is a place of gathering for the tribe. The rammed earth structure is partially inset in the ground and hon clerestory and woven interior paneling bring light and airiness to the space.

The classrooms reflect the inclusive learning styles of Dakotah culture, which favor round discussions over western linear instruction. They accom hide tanning, quillwork, and cooking/food preservation. A mullion system with glass and plywood paneling allows natural light to permeate the to the sliding doors in the north classrooms create additional instructional and activity spaces.

The built environment emerges from a wholly native prairie plant palette. Tall grasses, wrapped around the rammed earth walls, feather the hard e identity throughout the site. Shorter grasses adorn the Tiotipi roof and roll gently down onto the raised berm which serves as a recliner for starg elemental experiences which supplement classroom learning. Finally, thick windbreaks encircle the Tiotipi and classrooms, offering wildlife nou for materials, edibles, and medicine.

The Box University of Virginia, Healing Spaces ▪ 2018 Reuben Rainey I wondered, “How can I fit a soothing forest into a box?” This garden was a challenging exercise in fitting a sense of openness, freedom, and comfort into a narrow, underused void in the center of a Virginia hospital. Using principles of environmental psychology, healing, and biophilia, the design creates a forest-like environment tucked within a very industrial, linear space. The goal is to encourage faster healing for patients as well as provide refuge for them, their families and friends, and hospital staff who also feel the daily impacts of stress and crisis management. Installation artist Yayoi Kusama provided inspiration, for her mastery of using simple forms and gestures to create expansive wonderlands. As well, another inspiration was Reuben Rainey, who reminded me that intuition, joy, and empathy are powerful tools we must craft into our inhabited spaces.

Fire Follows the Water University of Virginia, Indigenous Landscapes â–Ş 2018 Emma Mendel This project investigates subjective, non-linear, and non-western ways of understanding landscapes and human relations with(in) them. Research knowledge is shared as drawings and, later, models. My particular focus is the fire management regime of the plains tribes in North America. Through careful, controlled burns, indigenous peoples increased habitat zones and species diversity, thus increasing food reserves and preventing the out-of-control, large scale fires we commonly see today. Curiously, mapping the logistics of fire management reveals the close relationship between fire and water. Waters of the Mississippi basin provided not only sustenance, but also served as very convenient fire breaks.

Native peoples commonly set fires to enhance forage production and to attract prey; to herd wildlife during hunts; to rid the forests of underbrush and to facilitate travel; to enhance plant production such as berry producing shrubs, mast species, and root crops; to destroy poisonous snakes and other vermin; to clear the land prior to farming; to kill trees for firewood; to rid the land of places an enemy could hide; and as an instrument of war, among many others - Charles E.

Blue Ribbon Park Summer internship, Germany, Emschergenossenschaft ▪ 2017 Martina Oldengott This park is one of several options for an empty parcel of land acquired by the public German waterboard, Emschergenossenschaft. The park creates a “waterrich” experience that educates surrounding communities about the importance of water protection, provides recreation, and serves as part of a larger planned network of greenspaces along the Emscher River in Nord-Rhein Westphalia. The Blue Ribbon, a tiered system of stream channels, recalls the site’s history of polder drainage while also filtering excess stormwater runoff from the northern Suderwicher stream, which runs between the municipalities Castrop-Rauxel and Recklinghausen. Martina Oldengott provided creative guidance. This plan incorporates curated design options from landscape architecture students at Rutgers University and input from the results of children’s design workshops in local neighborhoods along the Emscher.

Detail to Design / Design to Detail University of Virginia, Ecotech II ▪ 2017 Zaneta Hong As part of an overall exploration into materials, forms, fabrication, and clarity of technical drawings, I researched the Rostock Pavilion in Germany and created a new permutation of that precedent. The permutation’s logic was formed by my understanding of the Rostock Pavilion’s significant themes: Modularity, hybridity between soft organic and hard manmade structure, and permeability of temperature, wind, light, smell, and sound. To enhance these properties, I integrated separate research on metal fabrics into the design.

Experience Fields / Animating Information University of Virginia Zaneta Hong, Digital Practice II ▪ 2017 Michael Lee, History of Landscape Architecture II ▪ 2017 Mary Miss’s Greenwood Pond Park served as a case study in which to understand sensory experience and the integration of art, science, and landscape. This analytical model distills the key moments in Greenwood Pond Park. Miss’s intent was to have the viewer understand the wetland environmental systems by experiencing it personally and intimately. Thus, the five threaded panels chart those different moments of experience. The red thread represents the planar field of view and reach of the sensory experience, as intended by Miss. The white mesh represents the “skin” of the landscape and water surfaces; its use is also a nod to the artist’s fondness for airy materials. The panels show the movement of the park visitor as he or she travels from dry land to a watery, immersed condition. The accompanying video animation is an exploration of methods that convey the sensory experience and ambulatory coreography while providing information about the park.
