muncie downtown redevelopment 5th year: urban design studio Cairns & Bussiere
This project worked with real clients, the Muncie Arts & Culture Council, Muncie Downtown Development, Inside Out, and the Muncie Action Plan, to redevelop Muncie’s downtown area while implementing the arts. Analysis of the site and downtown’s strengths and weaknesses were done in order to determine how to better connect the site within, to its surrounding area, and to the other outlying districts, Minnetrista, Heekin Park, and Ball State. This lead to the creation of a framework for future development. Then each student was to further design a “great street”. My great street became strictly a pedestrian street modeled after fussgangerzones.

The pedestrian corridor utilizes the site’s vacant areas connects Muncie’s four districts while creating a parks system. Buildings along the corridor are mixed use with green roofs and gardens. The corridor becomes a people oriented street with designated times for utility vehicles.

developing a TOD for midtown,houston 3rd year: housing and community design studio Smith & Baas
After taking a trip to Houston, Texas we were given a site to infill and make into a transit oriented development. We were given a specified density level to reach, parking requirements, and land use specifications. In combination with these requirements, my development incorporated food education and production while connecting the site to surrounding neighborhoods.

3rd year: housing and community design studio Smith & Baas
For this project, each student was to use low impact design and high density housing to show the benefits gained versus typical conservation subdivision design. Sustainable practices such as water capture and purification and small scale food production were also to be blended into the design. Currently the site is used for agriculture.

starry night demonstration garden 3rd year: planting design studio Tomizawa & Harlow
Each student was to design a demonstration garden using anything as inspiration. For my garden, I chose Van Gogh’s Starry Night. To gain a better understanding of the design and its spatial qualities, a model of our garden was required.

muncie planned growth redevelopment 4th year: regional design studio Day & Baas
This project used Howard’s garden city model as a framework to design a new modern model that incorporates sustainable, local agriculture and planned growth to counteract midwestern sprawl and agricultural issues. The project’s concept uses the land as a guide for land use suitability to preserve current natural areas and base agriculture placement on soils. The goal was to create a condensed, self sustaining community.

using the owner’s hobby of painting as inspiration. Plants were selected based on color, texture, and shade tolerance to mimic paint strokes of color across the landscape. I developed a planting plan and put together cost estimates and solicited bids.

complete site engineering 4th year: engineering 3 Marlow
For this project we were given a site with three main watersheds. A three story building of a certain square footage, an entry road, and a parking lot with a specified lot count, entry plaza, and service road were to be placed on site. Pre construction runoff was calculated to determine post runoff qualifications and necessary water catchment areas. Each post construction watershed’s runoff was also calculated to determine needed piping and pipe sizing. Both horizontal and vertical road alignments were also determined.
