Muskingum River Power Plant, a decommissioned coal-based fire plant of AEP, used to be the regional draw of the area, where the locals are heavily attached with. The design aims to reconstruct the emotional connections between the site and the region by introducing a regional cemetery, with the intention to instill the roots the contemporary American mobile life style.

By manipulating the differences between light and dark, soft and hard, mass and void, the intervention has cultivated processional experience. From the crematorium to chapels, mourners and visitors go through the dark and dense hardwood forest and arrive at the chapel. Sunken memorial rooms are seen as the voids in the mass of thin soil prairie. They are planted with various of plants based on its width and characteristics, in order to engender personal experience under the collective memorial ground. Along the rooms, a belt of aspen and alder forests are placed to soften the existing dark forests and lighten the mood of the mourners. The presence of the fly ash layer is capped and filled strategically to create natural buffer zones in between the burial area.

The thesis project is about reimaging the log driving infrastructures on the West Branch of the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania. Historically, white pine and hemlock forests were found abundantly in the Susquehanna watershed.

Rafting and log driving were two professional practices that enabled the timber transportation from upstream forests to the downstream markets. Certain infrastructures were designed and built in the river system in order to facilitate the processes. With the rapid exhaustion of the forests and the demise of the logging industry, these infrastructures were left out in the river system and are still present in the contemporary landscape. However, the physical remnants are largely detached with the cultural landscape. Therfore, this project aims to reimagine the log driving infrastructures in response of the lost cultural linkage.

At this stage, the project focused on a deeper understanding on the hisorical events and the evolution of these infrastructures over time. The project challenges the functionality and longevity of these infrastructures and speculates several�what if� scenarios in the new designed timeline.

The project seeks to provide an alternative future for the agriculture in the Midwest, in response to climate change and agriculture contamination issue. Increased drought and decreased aquifer will force the agricultural products migrate from California. At the same time, acequia as an important irrigation system has persisted in the Southwest for hundreds of years. The current agriculture in the Midwest is dominated by corn and soybean fields. Tile drainage technique is widely adopted to remove excess water but also contributes to water contamination issues.

Therefore, the project proposes to hybridize tile drainage water and irrigation water, in order to leverage the water contamination issue and also project a more sustainable system. Using a 2,000-acre site in Putnam County, Ohio as a testing ground, H2O Co., a water-based community will be a platform for Ohio farmers and California farmer to corporate and negotiate the water uses.

It is suspected that cash crop and specialty crop production will exist at H2O Co. Water will be collected from tile drainage and distribute to farms through the acequia system. Rows of poplars and sycamores will be planted on the constructed beams to provide ecosystem services and timer resources. At H2O Co., farmers have the responsibilities to inform the other farmers what types and rates of the fertilizer and other chemicals they apply on their fields. The specialty crop and orchard farmers will have the opportunities to choose whether they want to use the water or direct it to the retention pond. A series of wetlands are proposed to clean the water and provide a wide range of wild life habitats.

COLUMBUS, OHIO Corn and soybean farmlands are the major souces for nitrogen contamination while pasture and range are the major sources for phosphorus contamination. There is a strong correlation between agriculture farmland footprint with nutrients loading. Ohio, Indiana, Iowa and Nebraska are the states that suffered the most in nitrogen loading, where intensive agriculture practices exist. For phosphorus loading, the severity is not bad as nitrogen loading. Tile drainage is prevalently utilized in the Midwest and has largely contributed to the nitrogen contamination in the area, while surface runoff is the major cause for phosphorus loss. Corn and soybean farmlands are the major souces for nitrogen contamination while pasture and range are the major sources for phosphorus contamination.

04 NOLEX Year 2015 Spring Project Type Competition Collaboration

Kristi Cheramie, Jacob Boswell, Mattijs van Maasakkers, Jennie Miller, John Wischmeyer, Shelley Denison, Colin Hall

Selected as one of the three finalists for the Future Ground competition, which was hosted by Van Alen Institute and the New Orleans Redevelopment Authority, the New Orleans Land Exchange (NOLEX) has proposed a projective framework to reassess the vacancy condition with three essential components (elevation, connection and negotiation).

NOLEX has created a valuable platform for unconnected stakeholders and developed a set of tools to facilitate their decision makings.

As a research assistant, I have made a significant contribution in the final phase of the design and implementation.

My main roles include conducting negotiation write-ups, facilitating mock-up negotiations, GIS mapping, generating ideas for representation and final booklet visualization and production.

Through the research and analysis of the City of Green Bay, it is noticeable that the future land use proposal is conflicting with the current pattern of land use.

The new typology seeks to establish a new model for future developments of the City of Green Bay. By strategically reconfiguring the agricultural fields, it aims to conserve the farmlands from the current and future land use battles. By recognizing that the city growth is inevitable, it releases some areas for future developments. Through the combination of easement and acquisition, it creates possibilities to invite the public to the bayfront. A linear park system is another major component of the new typology, which accommodates the equal recreation needs for the neighborhoods. On the other hand, the form of linearity maximizes the potential to collect, filter and clean the runoff from agriculture practices, while creates a continuous experience for the public. By connecting the valuable wetland resources, it will greatly enhance the wildlife habitats and leverage the limited ecosystem of agricultural fields. The ultimate goal of the new typology is to revision the possibility of land use and establish a healthy defensive line for the bayfront.

06 STREETSCAPE STUDIES Year 2015 Spring Class Landscape Architecture Seminar Collaboration Joie Chan Instructor Jake Boswell

The series of drawings were prepared for The City: Beautiful | Gustafson Guthrie Nichol at The Cleveland Mall, which was situated at the KSA Banvard Gallery. The drawings attempt to contextualize the Cleveland Group Plan, which was drafted by Daniel Burnham in 1903.

The first drawing looks at the evolution of Ontario Street, based on the comparison of historic buildings and in relation to their changes in form and surroundings. The intention of the drawing is to show the relationship between historic buildings and the contemporary buildings; their influence to the changes and the characteristics of the streetscape (pavers, dimensions) in relation to what was proposed for the Group Plan in 1903 by Daniel Burnham.

The second drawing explores the potential transformation of the streetscape of Ontario Street. The drawing looks at three sections of the street from West to East and projects the parkway ideals mentioned in the Group Plan in 1903. By rearranging the street dimension, raising the height of the road to the sidewalk, addition of median strips, separation of vehicular traffic from bikes and pedestrians, and addition of tree allĂŠes, it is firmly believed that the proposed elements will enhance the extension from Public Square to Court House as well as encouraging on-street activities and retaining the view the vista to the Court House.

The project has employed the concept of weaving and integrating with the given site, which is an existing parking lot of Columbus College of Art & Design (CCAD). Different layers of vegetation, water, hardscape and change of elevation are seen as individual component.

Through the process of interlacing, threading and warping, each component is woven together to compose as a richlayered system. Through time, different components of this dynamic woven system will have different responses and interactions. The vegetation and water layer are constantly changing while the hardscape layer remains static, which in all will give a compelling atmosphere for the art campus.

08 CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS Year 2015 Spring Class Landscape Architecture Workshop Instructor Karla Trott

The series of construction documents include the layout and material plan, planting plan and storm water management plan. The project calls for a design for a small-scale courtyard space in the urban setting.

In order to create easy access to the publie, the project proposed to construct a deck system on the site with ADA accessible slopes. In response to storm water management and sustainability, it creates an elongaged water feature in the center of the site, capturing and reusing the storm water. Along the pool, high-water need vegetation are planted to absorb the overflow of the water and provide a safety buffer for the users.

Diagrams showing the dynamics of the body landscape.

The project started with giving the concept that the body of a human is the most complicated landscape. We identified a 1 x 1â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; site of our hand or foot and then selected a motion that can often occur on the site. Breaking down the motion into six steps, we could have the ability to carefully observe and study our sites within the context of its surface, structure and motion activator. Based on the speculation, three sets of drawings are documented to interpret the sequence of changes. The following step is implemented by re-reading the drawings and transforming them into a terrain machine.
