Petaluma was permanently settled in 1852, and then incorporated in 1858 with a population of approximately 1,340. The City grew up along the banks of the Petaluma River, which served as an important transportation and shipping route. Its location along the River enabled Petaluma to become the distribution hub for agricultural products being shipped to San Francisco. After the arrival of the railroad in the 1870s, commercial and industrial activities in Petaluma had access to both rail and River shipping facilities. At one point, the River ranked third in the State in terms of amount of traffic carried.

Since the new park strives to reconnect the opposing sides of the city, the site was placed on the waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edge. The drawing exercise above revealed that the penninsula near a under-used industrial area was the best location for the park because it was not affected by flood and it would connect downtown with the low density neighborhood across.

In OCCUPY THE FENCE, a Bayviewgrown botanical revolution subdues the metal, spiked fence that currently separates the community from the sewage treatment plant. The fence folds and bows, turning into paving, seating, play equipment, and shelter. Members of the Bayview community work a proposed nursery at Site A, using composted solids and recycled water produced next door to nurture an army of plants. These plants infiltrate the surrounding street-scape, occupying parking spaces and travel lanes. They flow down connecting streets to reach out to the rest of the Bayview community. This plant army, of stalwart camphor trees, fragrant sweet box, droughty juncus, and stinking hellebore, cleans runoff, shelters people from wind-borne odors and wastewater, and creates space for the Bayview community to grow.

A novel experience for the visitors, the new space highlights stormwater treatment, performance space, play space, picnic, and greenhouse activity.

By activating the edge, we can create dynamic opportunities of the in between - the edge between the building and nature. This strategy encourages the visitor of the cinematheque to interact with the site; to be a participant in phenomenological events that characterize it. The building addresses the varied slope, localized watershed, and viewing opportunities at Point Bonita. The building is oriented and shaped so water can flow through it and the viewer can observe this movement in different ways, such as in rain and fog.

The cinematheque during a dramatic storm event

Outdoor installations during a typical foggy day

The artist-in-residence is Neil Beloufa. His sculptural objects are playfully and purposefully arranged to describe layering. His exhibitions are designed so viewers become part of the exhibition as they move through the space. Like his sculptures, the building mirrors these attributes. Program is separated by public and private spaces connected with a central corridor. Private spaces include administration offices and Neil Beloufa’s living quarters. Public spaces include the cinematheque, such as the gallery and theater. In essence, this ‘stem and leaf’ circulation, gives people freedom to move as they please. It is possible to bypass the exhibition spaces altogether to travel straight to the theater.

Cascading down a steep slope, the cinematheque guides visitors downward toward the water. The building allows different experiences with water forms, such as rain and fog as the building changes in elevation. Procession is guided from beginning to end, starting with Neil Beloufa’s artist studio and ending with the theater than holds his video art.

Why does a path have to end at the waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edge? Using a row of bamboo sticks to mirror the tall, vertical characteristics of the surrounding redwood trees, a waveform moves the eye up, down, across, and through. The curved shape creates an enclosed feeling of privacy. The spaces between the bamboo frame views. The undulating form connects the viewer by leading the eye to the various sights, sounds, and smells, such as the rippling water.

CALIFORNIA LANDSCAPES is a photo series that strives to depict ‘coastal sublime.’ Set in the dangerous, yet beautiful seasides of Northern California, creeping fog immerses the rocky cliffsides and water wears away jagged rocks. These coastal edges are in an everchanging state. Chaotic, yet natural instability makes these spaces not only beautiful, but spurs a feeling of awe.
