HE BIG BLUE PASSAGEWAY IS A SMALL MOTIVE SPACE THAT CONNECTS THE BIG BLUE PARKING GARAGE WITH THE TAGGART STUDENT CENTER ON THE LOGAN CAMPUS OF UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY. WE WERE TASKED WITH CREATING A WATERWISE GARDEN THAT USES ONLY 1/4 THE NORMAL AMOUNT OF WATER. PLANTS WERE ARRANGED IN A NATURAL DRIFT PATTERN INTERSPERSED WITH BOULDERS TO CUT DOWN ON WATER REQUIREMENTS.

IMPROVING WALKABILITY IN THE GRANARY DISTRICT

I

n order to create the type of environment conducive to a tightknit community, one must have the opportunity for chance meetings within the neighborhood. Currently a large majority of the streets in the Granary District still lack complete sidewalks, street trees and friendly streetscapes, supressing active streetlife in the community.

To overcome these barriers and improve neighborhood walkability I analyzed current street tree cover accessiblity to local parks and created a phase 1 plan to address the deficiencies in the neighborhood.

GOALS: • • • •

Analyze Current Street Tree Cover Analyze Access to local parks Create Street Tree Plan Identify Potential park site(s)

TREE INVENTORY ANALYSIS The average block had trees around approximately 35% of it’s perimeter. Phasing will follow the natural breaks in the analysis: Blocks Blocks Blocks Blocks

NORTH LOGAN MEMORIAL PARK

N

orth Logan Memorial Park consists of 37 acres of rolling topography adjacent to the current North Logan Cemetery. The city doesn’t anticipate filling the current 3 phases for an estimated 100 years, so in the mean time they would like to use the open space for a passive use park. I took my cues from the existing topography and formed a circut of undulating paths that wander past the various attractions placed throughout the site.


LEGEND Pond

The pond serves as the central focal point of the site, providing the soothing influence of water

TM

Memorial Grove

A grove of sculptural metal trees provides a serene monument where survivors can come to pay tribute to loved ones

Maintenance Facility

A small building screened by trees will house maintenance equipment and cemetery operations

Entrance Signage

New entrance signage on either corner will welcome visitors and provide an opportunity to articulate the North Logan brand identity

Pavilion

Pergola

A circular pergola planted with climbing vines shades benches and provides a picturesque respite and backdrop for photoshoots

Restroom facilities are located near parking lots and walking trails on either end of the site for convenience

Bridges

Wildflower Bed

Plaza

Picnic tables

Stream

A perforated CorTen pavilion, mimics the form of the surrounding mountains and provides a shady gathering place

A colorful bed greets visitors and serves as a gateway to the park while minimizing labor & maintenance

A simple reflecting pool mirrors a trio of ornamental trees, with seatwalls to provide a spot for contemplation

Tables and benches tucked between shade trees surround the great lawn providing a familyfriendly venue

A combination of solid and perforated CorTen panels allows dappled light to shine through while still providing shade and prevents the pavillion from feeling too heavy and dark

The form of the pavillion was inspired by the mountains that surround the site on either side.

Two wooden footbridges connect the rolling topography of the site and span the stream that partitions the park and provide a view of the surrounding mountains

A waterfall located at the ponds edge gently cascades down the slope providing soothing white noise

Landscape Performance Analysis

D

aybreak was planned according to the 5 MIN RULE taking into account that most people will decide to drive unless it is within a 1/4 mile walk. The Daybreak website touts that many amenities are located within an easy 5 min walk. More than 10 years have passed since Daybreak first opened, so I decided to evaluate how well Daybreak is living up to its design intentions thus far.
