The city of Davis is located in Yolo County, CA, 11 miles west of Sacramento. Home to University of California at Davis, the city is known as a university town with a progressive and environmentally conscious mind set. It is often referred to as the “most bicycle friendly town in the world” due to its wide streets and bike paths.

A Remote Community with Working Migrant Farmworkers

Dense Affordable Housing with Little Open Space

Castroville is an unincorporated community surrounded by artichokes and agricultural fields, located at the foot of the Salinas Valley in Northern Monterey County, CA. Its surrounding farms attracts many migrant farmworkers to move here, thus OVER 87% OF THE RESIDENTS ARE MEXICANS.

SIGNAGE DESIGN

Las Ramas Plaza’s Interactive Sign

Create Community Identity Through Design

Interactive sign is placed at Las Ramas Plaza facing the main street. It not only functions as an entrance signage to the Castroville oaks but also brings playfulness to the area by providing an interactive space inside of the sign.

With three different signage design implemented on site, residents of Castroville Oaks can create connections between each others. The signs are designed to be easy-to-recognize and memorable symbols that represent the community and its people.

Las Raices Identity Sign

Identity sign is placed at the Las Raices community area. This signage is designed to enhance the identity of Las Raices community and add additional color and texture to the public landscape.

CIRCULATION DESIGN:

Opportunities for Alternative Transportation A. MAIN AND SECONDARY AUTOMOBILE ROAD

Entrance gates are located at each main entrance from the main streets. The arch-shaped gate creates a clear boundary between inside and outside of the community, it is meant to strengthen the sense of identity.

Main Automobile Road Secondary Automobile Road

SECTIONS A. MAIN STREET SECTION

Graphic: Tristan Kamata

Main Streets are major traffic roads that have two 12’ car lanes with 9’ pedestrian and bike shared paths on both sides. It is designed to promote alternative transportation and provide better accessibility for residents within the community and connection to the highway and roads outside the community.

B. PEDESTRIAN AND BIKE ROUTES Pedestrian Route Bike Routes

B. RESIDENTIAL STREET SECTION

Residential streets are redesigned to reduce the feelings of automobile-focus design of the original plan. The width of the car lanes are reduced to 10’ for each lane, with additional sustainable planting buffer (instead of common curb). The residential streets are directly connected to residential driveway for better traffic connection.

PASSAGE PARK:

A Place of Transition Between Natural and Man-Made Landscape Passage park is a place of transition between natural and man-made landscapes. While walking through this open space, users will find natural landscapes interwoven with fabricated landscapes, stimulating their emotions as they move through this change of scenery

The dry creek bed runs through the center of Passage Park, serving as a vegetation strip with walking accessibility on both sides of it.

KEYMAP

SECTION Graphic: Sarah Burson

RENDER • The vegetation along the sides of the park allow for a buffer zone between the homes and the public space, provide shade, and make the park feel more enclosed and intimate. • The creek bed creates a guiding element towards either the plaza or the riparian area while also connecting these two sections of the plan and pulling them together.

LAS RAMAS PLAZA: Heart of Castroville Oaks

Las Ramas Plaza is a plaza area surrounded by green space and connected to Passage Park. With proposed Bakery store, Farmer’s Market and Food Truck area, Las Ramas Park brings business opportunities to the community while providing ample space for community event. The interactive sign of Castroville Oaks creates stimulative play environment for children and teens, with a public seating area for adults and elders to rest.

DESIGN INTERVENTION GUIDELINE


DESIGN 1 - HABITAT REGENERATION

Growing Coral with Electric Mineral Accretion (Biorock) The Biorock method is the only restoration method known that produces the natural limestone which corals need to grow on. It accelerates coral growth, healing, and resistance to stress due to anthropological impacts and climate change.

METAL STRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION DETAILS

A buoy with solar panels sends electricity through cables to an artificial reef • • •

A. Hexagon Structure

4x-8x faster growth rates for a variety of coral species with more color and branching. Increased resistance to warming sea temperatures and other anthropogenic effects Sustainable and light-weight steel structures

An electric field is created by positive and negative charges •

B. 3-Leg Bowl

When a positively charged anode and a negatively charged cathode are suspended in sea water with an electric current flowing between them, calcium ions combine with carbonate ions and adhere to the structure (cathode). The result is CaCO3. Corals adhere to CaCO3 and grow quickly and regenerate.

A Series of Floating Islands that Redefine Access & Activities El Nido Floating Island is a series of floating islands that can be mix-and-match to create floating islands for tourists. The floating islands are easy to modify and transport. Each set of islands will be located near popular tourists spots to reduce direct access to existing coral reef on site, while promote alternative ways of entertainments and engagement.

GRADING PROJECT OF A MULTI-PURPOSE PA R K A multi-purposed park which consists of 4 areas that need to be graded for multiple purpose:

AREA 1

AREA 1 - BRIDGE AREA

AREA 2 - TRAIL AREA

1. Area 1 consists of a pre-existing road and a creek. There is a bridge that connects the area, allowing better sightseeing and traveling. 2. The bridge is graded with an ADA compliant ramp from the road (West side) to the trail (East side), with a minimum slope of 1.5% on paved areas and complimentary handrails.

1. A primary trail that is 12’ wide with 2’ shoulder, & A secondary trail that is 6’ wide, both fulfilling the ADA Standards for Accessible Design, for park visitors. 2. Minimum radius of the primary trail centerline is 90 feet. 3. Two culverts under trails are provided for drainage, and the nearby area is graded with appropriate slope to collect and direct water.

WENXI HUANG | PAGE 28


STUDY OUTCOME • Grading Intervention • ADA Design Guidelines • LEED Design Guidelines • CLARB Accreditation Standards

AREA 1

AREA 3 - FLOODPLAIN TERRANCE

AREA 2 - PARKING LOT

1. This area is graded to create two floodplain terraces next to a creek – one is below 141.4 ft on the inside of the bend for additional flood capacity (North side), while the other is below 141.6 ft on the south bank for visitors’ access to creek. 2. The south bank floodplain terrace is connected to an access trail diverged from the main path, which is 6’ wide and fulfils the ADA Standards for Accessible Design.

1. This area is a pre-existing parking area. The parking lot is graded to create a rain garden with 6” of retention depth that drains to the existing ditch (see swale in the middle of the parking lot). 2. While the existing flowline of ditch is maintained, the size of the drain pipe is calculated with the rational method in order to direct rainwater to the drain.

GREEN ROOF BIKE PARKING STRUCTURE -

The course project was to install seating at our courtyard. The class replaced the existing bike parking with a new one. We came up with designs for benches and bike parking as group projects and the class pitched for the final design. My team's design for the green roof bike parking was selected as the final design.

WINNING DESIGN

GROUP DESIGN The green roof bike parking has a mountain relief at the back to represent our major. Using wood slats and wires, we aimed to introduce natural sunlight and increased the safeness for the users.

GREEN ROOF BIKE PARKING DESIGN

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS Construction documents were created to assist in the installation of the project. Studies of green roof materials, wood connection, concrete and metal connections etc., were conducted. The drawings show the sizes and the relationship between different parts.
