01 WATERMAN FARM COLUMBUS,OHIO Senior Studio Project Instructor: Jacob Boswell, Ethan McGory Teammate: Benjamin Wade, Renessme Ou Autumn 2018 The vision of this project is for Waterman Farm to become a destination for the local Columbus community and students of The Ohio State University. By introducing new outreach programs and emphasizing existing outreach programs, Waterman Farm will attract more people. Establishing a strong circulation network of choreographed paths will help direct public through private and public spaces, while also displaying all the different programs within Waterman. Providing a central hub for all of the Waterman Farm visitors, faculty and researchers will help draw people and distribute them throughout the site. The central hub will also provide everyone with a similar shared image of Waterman.

SECT

ION

Towpath Terminal Metro Park Center marks the terminus of one's journey along the Towpath Trail stretching from the heart of Cleveland through the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The design aims to provide habitat for native fish species affected by industrialization along the Cuyahoga River.

ION

In addition, the design acts as a green hub: a connective place for recreation and observation within an urban context.

04 RUSH CREEK VILLAGE DESIGN - BAKER HOUSE COLUMBUS,OHIO Junior Studio Project Instructor: Jason Kentner, Parker Sutton Autumn 2017 Rush Creek Village is an community for people of moderate means, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, in Columbus, Ohio. This coummunity is different from others, especially in 1960s when it constructed, because each Rush Creek house is unique, but also represents an application of principles common to all. Baker House is one of the residence in this community. This project aims to redesign a garden for Baker House, providing a private space, but also integrating into the community as a whole. e in

05 CAR WASH IN EAST FRANKLINTON COLUMBUS,OHIO Sophomore Studio Project Instructor: Justin Parscher, Tameka Sims Spring 2017

Traffic Volume: ~1000 cars/day

The goal of tthis project is to reuse and enhance the value of an abandoned area in Franklinton, near downtown Columbus, Ohio. The site is close to COSI, which is a science museum for kids. There is a great volume of traffic around this district.

Traffic Volume: ~1000 cars/day Traffic Volume: 1000-2500 cars/day

Traffic Volume: 1000-1400 cars/day

Railway

In order to revitalize the abandoned land, the project plans to build a car wash with physical functions and green spaces that will serve to serve the people who come to COSI and surrounding residents.

Commercial Analysis Frankington is mainly a residential area. Bus-based public transport is relatively convenient. The business here is dominated by restaurants, most of which are located on W Board Street and Sullivant Avenue, and near COSI in the east. ( ! ! (

Traffic Analysis The project site is located between the two exits of highway with a large daily traffic flow. The historic railway runs through the Franklinton county, though it is rarely open to traffic. There are many warehouses located here.

Security analysis Frankington is divided into two police zones by highway. According to the statistics, the west zone has a high crime rate. And the public security environment of the east police zone where the project site is located is better.

06 TRACE TRAIL LOOP LINE COLUMBUS, OHIO 2018 Glimcher Exhibition Instructor: Katherine Jenkins, Distinguished Visiting Professor: Mikyoung Kim Teammate: Anne Morgan, Ben Kohls, Lauren Shewhart, Brittany Schroeder, Amanda Ferguson, Claire Brewer, Rachel Smith, Andrew Polefrone, Rosalie Starenko, Tyler Cloud, Sarah Coleman, Conner Cunningham, Garrett Rubin, Daniel Phillips November14, 2018 - January 18, 21019 A walk is usually the first act of the designer touching a site. Through this behavior, designers will have their first impression of the site and understand the actual situation of the site. This project uses walk as an analytical and inspirational tool to discuss and study the human body's contact with the ground and its implications for design. This project uses three methods: digital drawing, clay model and drawing armature, to transform walking paths into abstract two-dimensional and threedimensional models. So as to explore people's experience in the site, including space, vegetation and soil quality. Special thanks to Mikyoung Kim, who was invited to be an Distinguished Visiting Professor for this project. The project's work was shown in the 2018 Glimcher exhibition in the Banvard Gallery of Ohio State University.

Digital Drawing ďź&#x2C6;Individual Work) As the first step of this project, I visited waterman farm and recorded the walking path and soil conditions. Referring to Yayoi Kusama's work, I transformed the recorded path into a digital figure. Through different dots, it shows the moisture and porosity of the soil I passed by.

Clay Model (Individual Work) I think the earth is a symbol of the earth, and clay is a kind of soil. A person's walk usually leaves a footprint, which can be seen as a kind of inscription, implying a person's movement. In the second step, by making a clay model, I developed a notation that "memorializes a moment of contact" between body and ground.

Drawing Armature (Teamwork) I realized that human walking is a factor that cannot be completely controlled. Each person may have a separate walking path. So in the last step, I made two drawing armatures, Tops and Two Axis Drawing Machine, which were designed to fix some variables and leave others to chance to draw some graphite drawings. The armatures provide a carrier for expressing people's movement. It can determine the shape, speed and frequency of walking as well as texture, depth and intensity. Just as the space of the site can be observed by walking track, the accumulation of graphite lines and occasional stains also form the remaining white space on the white paper that is regarded as a piece of the site. At this level, the graphite tracks divide and organize the space as well as walking can reshape the landscape. 1/2. Drawing of Tops 3/4. Two Axis Drawing Machine

2018 Glimcher Exhibition (Teamwork) The 2018 Glimcher exhibition Trace Trail Loop Line opened in Banvard Gallery in Austin E. Knowlton School between November 14, 2018 and January 18, 2019. Thanks to the 2018 Glimcher Distinguished Visiting Professor Mikyoung Kim, Assistant Professor of Landscape Architecture Katherine Jenkins, and all the people involved in the exhibition.
