PROJECT STATEMENT understanding design approach
creating philadelphia’s ‘highline’ moment...now
Understanding that there is already a movement to create a Philadelphia ‘highline’ with the Reading Railroad; our team believes that this moment should happen now and that it should happen on the Avenue of the Arts. With a focus on creativity, entrepreneurship, innovation, and practical solutions, our approach will reinforce The Avenue of the Arts’ place as Philadelphia’s signature street and enhance Philadelphia’s growing reputation as a capital for art. Fill the chasms - build on great bones; City Hall, the Theatres, the Brandywine Workshop, and the High School for the Creative and Performing Arts. There are several wonderful, yet disparate centers of activity along the street. Our team’s goal is to unify these centers through a series of iconic, simple, and bold moves. Break up the asphalt - create whimsical, sustainable green space. Given the complexities of the existing infrastructure we will utilize the skills of traffic, civil and roof garden consultants. gis specialists, along with an environmental artist to build a lasting urban landscape. Facilitate connections between the Avenue of the Arts and surrounding communities – Our team understands the importance of connecting adjacent neighborhoods in an urban environment. This connection will start with outreach, through public relations and social media, resulting in refined consensus-driven physical linkages.
Projection mapping - projection mapping can be used to artfully display and project historical, seasonal, and local imagery (such as the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program) on the facades of buildings along the Avenue of the Arts. Inspired by the work of Viabizzuno, Italian lighting designers, projection mapping can be used to engage this promenade during local events like first Friday, along with seasonal and historical displays. With projection mapping, the Avenue of the Arts can solidify its reputation as a destination for the arts. Provide unique opportunities for outdoor theatre and art display to enhance the celebratory aspect of the street - modeled on the temporary art displays on Park Avenue, New York City, our team will create a series of spaces, both temporary and permanent, for art installation, theatre and music – opportunities for sculpture, Shakespeare on the street, flash orchestra/opera.

CONCEPT connecting the avenue
flexible phasing
Phase I - Change in the Air Rooted in a public relations campaign, Phase I will focus on small interventions with an emphasis on community involvement. Interventions include:
Through a series of interventions and improvements, from very small to grand gestures, we hope to connect people to the avenue and create a catalyst for its accelerated growth. To achieve this goal, the project will be implemented in a series of phases from the immediate, low cost to the long term capital intensive. This should be a dynamic process determined by available resources.

Phase II - Streetscapes With public awareness and support, Phase II aims to improve the streetscape of the Avenue of the Arts. Streetscape interventions include: plantings street existing light pole, new lights bike lanes planters
Phase III - Infrastructure This phase involves long term goals requiring the support of the City and community and focuses mainly on connection of surrounding buildings to the Avenue using green infrastructure: green roofs cistern water management removal of news kiosks green screens
Phase IV - Gateway The final phase focuses on the re-imagination of the Washington Avenue gateway to the Avenue of the Arts. Anchoring the Southern end, the gateway will provide an entrance and amenities to not only visitors, but residents of South Philadelphia. gateway piazza ground swell mixed-use development

Emphasizing community outreach and inclusion the creation of ‘Build Your Own Green Infrastructure’ seed and information box will be distributed along the Avenue and to the adjacent neighborhoods – bringing awareness of the improvements and literally spread the seed. These seeds will find their way into such diverse places as residents’ back yards to cracks in the sidewalks, all reinforcing the connection to the Avenue.
Consider the street as a sponge for rain events, providing a visual expression of storm water management in the urban environment. Wherever the sidewalk needs replacing: exposed runnels (for downspouts and sidewalk runoff), the incorporation of rain gardens and curb cuts to channel storm water. This new typology will include the opportunity to include interactive exhibits (visual/ audible) and will extend to the building facades to include rain chains and transparent downspouts.
m obile ligh t ar t A series of both static and moveable Core-ten steel planters, incorporating lighting, storm water reservoirs, light weight soils and self-watering technology will be installed along the Avenue. These planters will reinforce the dynamic light display implemented in Phase 1 acting as additional screen opportunities in the center of the Avenue for lighting projection. The material of the planters will reinforce the cohesive aspect to the Avenue. (A conscious effort should be made to ensure that the planters are manufactured locally (Currently there are around 1,200 people employed in the Shipyard more than qualified to fabricate the planters).)

Establishing a route for a mobile light display that stops along the Avenue at scheduled areas, particularly in darker locations. The display will be comprised of ephemeral light-based art that colors the city facades and streetscape by night, providing a critical connection along the street. The beauty of three dimensional mapping (projected from a vehicle) is that it can be easily updated and will remain fresh, entertaining, and engaging. Creating a temporary ‘Square’ on the Avenue for outdoor venues, such as an orchestra event or a temporary outdoor gallery, by rerouting the vehicular traffic. Following a careful review of the plans by Streets Department, PennDOT, and the Mayor’s office, vehicular traffic rerouted to allow for special outdoor events.
Utilizing the expertise of Azavea (Advanced GIS Solutions), and their efforts to digitize historic photographs along South Broad Street, our team will create an engaging light display appealing to people living in and visiting the area. It would provide visitors and residents a glimpse of the past that could include familiar or vanished architecture, landscapes, and exhibitions. The photographs are blackand-white or sepia tone.

Given their mobile nature, the planters can reinforce temporary traffic rerouting for special events. (During a scheduled event such as The Broad Street Run the moveable planters will be stored in adjacent open spacethe planters will be designed to be moved by a typical fork lift machine.) Potential funding for the planters will be through partner advertising.

The Avenue has the greatest concentration of art establishments in the city and yet there is little sense of what is going on inside the buildings. Along with the mobile light display the addition a series of LED screens will show images from inside the buildings of dance practice and performance, stills of paintings and sculpture, print making and graphic design on the Avenue. These images will create ambient visual interest, not so much event driven but a constant connection to the Avenue. For special events, the screens will create a unified image/ graphic extending down the whole of the Avenue. This is a combination of the present day practice of turning the walls of many of the buildings into washes of color — but will include the moving images of dancers, musicians painters and sculptors.
The planters will be modular and allowing for the possibility for temporary seating options. The planters will also be used to help establish temporary outdoor gallery space.

new plantings
A proposed temporary wildflower planting on a thin layer of soil on the larger vacant lots adjacent to Washington Avenue will be extremely high-impact and attentiongrabbing. It will echo the patterns of how plants grow in the wild, by randomly arranging groups of plants in dense masses for dramatic effect. In meadowing an effort will be made to look for opportunities to manage local storm water to improve the overall drainage of the Avenue.

A long term goal of the design will be to connect the surround buildings to the Avenue with green infrastructure improvements to enhance the quality of life on the street and to serve as a model for future urban restoration projects. Much of this work will need to be done with the support of the City requiring zoning changes and tax incentives. All adjacent buildings along with existing and proposed new structures on the street will be fitted or retrofitted with green roofs to help in managing storm water, reduce the urban heat island effect, improve wildlife habitat and generally improve human wellbeing on the street. By encouraging this action along the avenue, there will be a further strengthening of its connections.

Adjacent to the Gateway Piazza connecting it to the Meadowing Installation, a Bridge/Landform over the Avenue is proposed, this will be an integral part of evolving landscape of the Avenue. Over time two to four story retail spaces will be constructed within Ground Swell. The goal is to surround the public space with retail. Buried into the landform the retail spaces could be made up of shipping containers sprayed with waterproofing material or simple precast units based upon parking garage construction. Retail emphasis will be on healthy living- bike rentals, garden shops, healthy food vendors and fresh produce. The landforms will also function as an amphitheater for the Piazza. In programming consideration will be given to turn part of the area over to local residents to grow their own fruits and vegetables.
point b design
As the Avenue grows and forms stronger connections there will be an opportunity for more capital intensive development. The final stage of the development timeline is to have a 40 story tower constructed at the corner of Washington Avenue and Broad Street. This building will include parking and amenities and potentially could house performing arts.

The Alabama Department of Environmental Management has issued permits allowing nearly 19 million tons of garbage to be deposited in the state each year, about 7.5 percent of the garbage generated nationwide, according to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency figures. Studying and analyzing the landfills in AL state is crucial to help locating the site of the project.

The site is north to downtown Birmingham with two interstate highways nearby, the oldest landfill operats since 1953. It consists of 616.5 acres. Currently the Municipal Solid Waste disposal area consists of 10.72 acres and the construction and demolition disposal area consists of 5.19 acres. The old mound of waste is already closed.

The proposal is for people to enjoy it as a park, but also understand it as a process. There are five driving forces in my proposal: bioenergy, economy, biodiversity, education, engagement. Based on the topography of the mound of waste, the design of energy crops waving through the site is multifunctional, using contour farming and strip cropping strategy. Farming on the contour rather than up and down reduces fuel consumption and is easier on equipment. And it is a good way of erosion control on a site like this. The energy crops selected for grassland are Switchgrass and Sorghum. There also three species of trees: American sycamore, Sweetgum, and Black locust. They are planted as a belt between existing operating areas and closed ones. In addition, they sparsely on site in some open spaces, roadways and trails. All these species are selected carefully based on the root depth, energy potiential, growing rates, distribution, wildlife values, and all the other important characteristics. The landfill cap is designed to capture the landfill gas and leachate in the waste, grow energy crops on top. The top soil is 36�, suitable for all species selected to grow. The terraces and amphitheater make use of the existing topography. Looking down to the power plant facilities, a destination for people to get close to the power generation processes. The power plant takes the energy from both waste-to-energy from landfill gas and energy crops through gasification. The two processes of bioenergy production help people better understand the relationships. The watching deck extended from multiuse trails through the tree belt to the operating areas give people the opportunity to watch the processes in a safe distance.

Perspectives In between the energy crops fields, some open space are designed for public engagement. Spaces where people can sit, talk, read, as they can usually do in a park, but also ones they can watch and learn, about how a landfill is operating, how the garbage turns into electricity and so on. The spaces can also serve as outdoor classrooms for educational purposes. There are places where they have the opportunity to truly confront to themselves, to the values and behaviors. Place like the grass wall to show the layers underneath the cap of landfill will be a good example to demonstrate the idea of revealing. Landfill gas wells and monitoring probe, as well as groundwater monitoring wells designed on site remind people the histories and the processes. An overlook tower of 100 feet tall off mound of garbage is trying to get people a better view of the whole site, reveal the height of the landfill, and a place for watching wildlife such as bats and birds. Bicycle trails and paths waving through the energy crops fields and woodland areas offer people different experience on the site. The bus tour on site will give visitors a better understanding of the whole site as a process, to reveal the connection of consumption, production and pollution.

Using models as testing method to understand the relationships of the site. The idea of Grid is drawn from the mapping analysis. There is a dialogue between existing site conditions and the way the grid is translated into form and function. The northern area is oriented to open up, while the arrangement of the module adobe cubes, made of local low-key material, providing people a place to gather, to sit, to read, to play. The overhead planting is arranged to create a courtyard atmosphere to provide shade in the hot summer. Lighting design follows the idea of grid but is more dynamic, creating a safer feeling for people at night. The courtyard in the middle is arranged through planting, seating and paving to serve as an active and comfortable space for residents to have a good view and hang out. The southern area is a parking lot combining the basketball playground to make use of the area during daytime.

Concept Plan City of Prichard is experiencing both population and economy drop. In response to these challenges, we as landscape architects should deal with the imbalances created in the distribution of populations and resources, and also different forms of socio-economic disarticulation. In addition, there are social issues (like crime rates and education insufficiency) need to be addressed in response to the challenges. Urban “acupunctural� insertions and grassroots approaches are theoretic design strategies in accordance to the situation in Prichard.
Ideograms The design of boardwalk varies in heights to preserve the natural wetland, providing people more opportunities to get closer to the wildlife. Elevated bird watching decks over natural swamps. Bicycle trails along the power line for an open view. Lower plantings allow children to play.

There are shops, cafes, restaurants, bars and open markets scattered along the boulevard, which people in the neighborhood can benefit from. Then it turns into elevated boardwalk or meandering path when entering more natural areas. This gradient created is not to simply attract people there, but also to provide them better opportunities and living conditions by arranging a better distribution in the city to embrace the ecological services generated from nature while protecting, even enhancing the environment.

The development of Auburn, AL replaced large areas of native vegetation and farmland. This design re-integrates the woodland agrarian with the suburbs. Our proposal is to reveal the beauty of a productive garden as a prototype for transforming the suburban residential fabric. A kind of ecological loop, the garden recycles water, food and nutrients from family, to community, and to city. In transforming the garden from locus to loop, the role of people changes from pure consumers to active participants.

Kaiser Permanente Small Hospital Big Idea Design Competition Location: Lancaster, CA Team: work with landscape architects and architects Role: Site Analysis, Concept Plan, Planting, Rendering Design Tools: Pen, Maker, ArcGIS, AutoCAD, SketchUp, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Indesign. Detail of Agora space
Our site design gives physical form to the philosophy of inclusiveness and respect for individual identity, yet aggregation of service and community manifested in the project as a whole. From the intimate patient healing gardens to the vibrant social space of the agora, the landscape rooms that support the hospital community are finely tuned to the diurnal and seasonal climatic rhythms that characterize the Antelope Valley region.
61
To the West of the Agora, on the ground floor of the beds’ pavilion, patients, visitors and staff may enjoy a spectacle of healthy food preparation and the smell of freshly baked breads from the transparent California-style, open kitchen. We render “transparent” the opacity of a hospital function traditionally perceived as “off-limits”. A “tapestry of herbs” extends beyond the open kitchen both towards the Community on the South side of the campus, and towards the heart of the hospital, stepping down in broad bands of rosemary, poppies and native plants to bring its views and daylight into the lower level.
This area can be transformed as required to accommodate changing needs and uses of the space during a given day, week or month. Not traditionally a part of hospital programs, we are proposing the Agora space as a multi-use outdoor room that invites the local community in – a place for farmers markets, art shows, performances, fitnessrelated activities, and café seating. We envision an active public space that is also serene and supportive of quiet reflection. The space will be shady in summer and trees, plants and vegetated facades will further enhance thermal comfort. Treated as an “oasis” in the desert, the Agora becomes the “heart” of the hospital. In addition to the Agora, our proposal introduces a number of design elements that are seldom associated with hospitals and are seemingly unrelated to the treatment of patients.

Roof Garden Design For Home
Roof Garden Design For Hospital A green roof reduces a building’s heating and cooling costs, acting as a form of insulation. And they lessen the heat island effect, in which buildings warm up so much that they heat the surroundings. I am really interested in green roof. When I was in China, I did some research and design in my hometown.
