Within southwest 9T Capitol Hill, there are 2 parks, Plymouth Pillar Park H and Cal Anderson Park AV proposed site. While Cal within 900 feet of the Anderson Park servesE as a place for all residents of Capitol Hill to enjoy green space, there is not a small, quieter place that local residents around the proposed site can use for passive, contemplative activities, or as an impromptu space that allows for meaningful interactions to happen.

Formosa Pocket Park in West Hollywood is a 4,000 square foot park that was created for citizens of a nearby mixed-use development. Containing a variety of plant types, a water fountain and seating areas, the park was designed out of a desire for more public gathering spaces, and to be a recreational haven from the bustle of surrounding streets

Pocket parks are one way to provide recreation or open space needs distinctive from other types of park needs such as regional, community or neighborhood parks. Primarily aimed at offering a small open-space/recreational venue of a more passive or intimate nature, servicing local REPUBLICA residents rather than across the city (a N citizens ST role played by larger park types). Pocket parks may be considered as an alternative to or replacement of a neighborhood park where providing a typical neighborhood park is impractical or not achievable.

Created 1,500 linear feet of marine habitat showing marine development in 3 years comparable to a typical site of 8-10 years

Since the installation of the habitat skirt 3 years ago, monitoring of the habitat skirt and surrounding marine habitat has been done annually to fulfill Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) requirements for Fisheries Act Authorization. Monitoring by EBA Engineering Consultants Ltd. includes biannually conducting an inventory and assessment of the dominant intertidal and sub-tidal biota, and comparing biota diversity/productivity with a known and accepted reference site (Marathon) adjacent to the project. Installed 8-10 years ago as new marine habitat, the Marathon reference site was determined by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to have achieved an acceptable marine habitat condition. In the most recent inventory and assessment conducted in March 2011 by EBA Engineering Consultants Ltd., no significant difference was observed between the Marathon reference site (8-10 years of marine development), and the habitat skirt (3 years of marine development), in terms of species richness and diversity. As well, 43 species were found on the habitat skirt, compared with 46 species at the reference site, and schools of 500 or greater of the following salmonids: Chum, Coho, and possibly Chinook were observed at the habitat skirt.1 �

Joming Lau is an urban planner and designer with a keen interest in the nexus of planning, urban design and sustainability. He is a graduate of the Master of Urban Planning program at the University of Washington with a Certificate in Urban Design, and has a BSc in Environmental Sciences, and is a LEED AP. Joming brings his professional experience in project management, sustainability indicators, and research and combines it with his exceptional technical skills in Adobe Creative Suite, ArcGIS, and Microsoft Office. First interested in the concept of sustainable communities after a visit in 2003 to Durika, a ecovillage and biological reserve in Costa Rica, where he stayed at a community that truly walked the talk of sustainability, he was inspired how its principles could be replicated elsewhere. This led to an interest in sustainability in regards to the built environment. In recognizing the large impacts that cities have on our natural environment, he became interested in how cities and urbanized spaces are planned, and how they can have a positive impact on the world.

This project sought to address the unmet need for green space within the Pike/Pine District of Capitol Hill by identifying potential sites for pocket parks. The goal of this project was to provide small spaces that would allow for a space that would allow for contemplation while also facilitating the occurrence of meaningful interactions. This project also provided an opportunity to develop expertise in integrating various software programs (including ArcGIS, Photoshop, Indesign, and Sketchup) into their workflow.

At least 500 ft from Existing Parks & P-Patches

BUFFER

My role on this project included developing a methodology and criteria for the site selection process, management of parcel data with ArcGIS and Excel, demographic analysis to support the site selection methodology, and developing 3D visualizations (using Sketchup) of the neighborhood surrounding the proposed pocket park site.

Demographic Comparison Compared with the rest of the City of Seattle, the household income of residents living in Capitol Hill appears to be relatively low (as is the rest of Downtown Seattle), with more wealthy populations living to the north and connecting to Montlake to the north. One note of caution is that this income data is almost 10 years old, and this maps do not appear to reflect the shift in income that has happened in Capitol Hill. In terms of what this means for the value of parcel parks, lower income households often have less access to private green spaces such as backyards as well as larger spaces such as neighborhood parks, and pocket parks could serve as an effective remedy to this issue.

Neighborhood Concept Diagram

Open Space and Attractions Plan

This illustrated site plan and the accompanying neighborhood diagrams and plans were part of a storyboard created as part of an assignment for a course on visual communication. The work here builds upon an existing urban design plan by adding several additional elements, including non-motorized mobility connections, programmatic open space along the pier and commercial corridors that warrant streetscape animation. The illustrated site plan also highlights the key aspects of the plan, including mobility, open space and attractions, as well as how the proposed design might incorporate the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maritime heritage into its design as a way to provide it with character and a sense of place. My role on this project included generation of all plans and diagrams, which were first hand-drawn, and then finished using digital enhancements for specific text labels and spot vvcolor.

Barriers and Solutions A major challenge in this project involved working around one tenant who stayed in the building during construction. That space was not rehabilitated. Additionally, during demolition, two structural columns were exposed within a 1980s partition wall. The columns were kept in the existing location, in the middle of the main lobby, and reconditioned. The owner says the black steel columns â&#x20AC;&#x153;actually look like they belong thereâ&#x20AC;?.

About the Case Studies

In furthering the discussion about high-performance historic buildings, the Preservation Green Lab set out to create a toolkit that would allow for the collection and distribution of case studies highlighting projects across five building types (singlefamily, multi-family, adaptive use, main street and public). These case studies weave together a narrative about the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history, impact, and sustainable features. Through a discussion about the lessons learned from the retrofit project, these case studies seek to demonstrate the effectiveness of deep energy retrofits in historic buildings. My work on this project included the integration of technology (web and online surveys) and content collected through surveys and correspondence with building owners. Building performance data was gathered by working with building owners, and then entered into ENERGY STARÂŽ Portfolio Manager. I also developed the web and InDesign templates to facilitate future case study development, and created a manual to walk through how to do so.

This collection of Deep Green Historic Building case studies showcase unique buildings that successfully blend historic preservation and measured energy performance. These case studies provide inspiring stories and best practices, including detailed information about project ÂżQDQFLQJ HQHUJ\ SHUIRUPDQFH DQG KLVWRULF SUHVHUYDWLRQ DSSURDFKHV If you are interested in showcasing your building and contributing to our catalog of case studies, please visit the following url to submit an application: http://www.preservationnation.org/green-lab/casestudies/survey/

The buildings in these commercial nodes are largely single story, though there are some newer two and three story buildings (refer to Exhibits 5). The upper levels of the newer buildings contain apartments or condominiums. The neighborhood around the site is predominantly single-family houses and occasional multi-family buildings. Northgate Mall is located about 1 mile to the west of the site.

Population and Demographic Information The population of the immediate project area in 2010 was 4,995 (in 2,057 households), while the larger Wedgewood neighborhood stood at 15,020 (in 6,441 households). At the largest market area described in the previous secion the population isn’t very dense. Currently, the population density is DOWNTOWN almost 3,000 people/square mile (about 4.5 people per acre). The majority of the SEATTLE area is single-family residential homes with several commercial nodes spread across the area. The area has seen steady growth since the year 2000 and is expected to see continued growth through the year 2015.

STATIC ATTRIBUTES

Site Access The site is bordered on two sides by minor arterial streets (as classied by the Seattle Comprehensive Transportation Program of 1984), and there is a trafc light at the their intersection. Sidewalks are present along 35th NE, but they end at NE 96th. NE 95th has sidewalks only at the intersection. 35th Avenue NE is serviced by north-south travelling city busses, which connect the site with University Village and the University District to the south and Lake City to the north. NE 95th has no bus service but provides a direct vehicular connection to Lake City Way, about 1 mile to the west. Currently, vehicular access to the site is via one curbcut on 35th NE, one curbcut on NE 95th, and a driveway at the west end of the site off NE 95th (see Exhibit 5). ingress/

There is currently a one-story structure on the site, the Northeast Veterinary egresscommercial points Clinic. To the east and north of the building are paved driveway and parking areas. The driveway exits the site at the extreme west edge of the parcel, onto NE 95th Street. Between the existing building and the driveway on the west side of the site there is an unimproved grass / gravel area, apparently used for overow parking. The existing building is approximately 35 years old and 4,108 SF in size (see Exhibit 4). 6

Exhibit 15 indicates that the population in Wedgewood is predominately white, and more highlyeducated (See Exhibit 9) than the rest of King County. Over 2/3 of Wedgewood residents have a bachelor’s degree or higher as compared with 44% in King County (see Exhibit 10). Ethnic composition is quite similar to the rest of King County, except for a lower percentage of AfricanAmericans in Wedgewood.

The following section includes graphic representation of ve alternative use options Team 7 feels are worth investigating. In each case, it has been assumed that the area of the site zoned SF-7200 would be left undeveloped, for reasons explained in this document under static attributes(?). As is the case in most new development projects, a main driver of each of these alternatives is the location of on-site parking. The site’s small size and 3-story height limit will result in a small development that could not possibly generate enough income to justify the cost of locating parking below grade. For this reason, the four new-development alternatives described here have parking located in a surface parking lot. In each of the four new-development alternatives, the building is located at the street edge, with parking behind. This is essentially required by zoning regulations, but has the benet of locating commercial space close to the streets, for high visibility. The ve development options considered are: Leave the existing building as-is Financial feasibility development scenarios Develop a 1-story commercial building of (8,800five SF)

December 2010 This feasibility study was conducted for a property in the Wedgwood neighborhood of Seattle, for a hypothetical client. As part of a five member team, using the financial and timing requirements as a framework, several development scenarios were developed based on neighborhood, submarket and trade area and zoning analysis. These scenarios would provide a framework to guide future development of the site. Based on our analysis, a mixed use development with 2 floors of residential apartments would be the optimal use option, although the final recommendation was that given market conditions in the neighborhood, an alternate location would be the most appropriate action at the time. My role on this project included zoning, neighborhood and demographic analysis, market area delineation. I also played secondary roles verifying financial calculations and report writing.

Woodinville Residential Cluster Plan University of Washington Department of Urban Design & Planning March 2011 The objective of this project was to reimagine the southern end of Woodinville, WA adjacent to the Tourist District. Given a scenario of explosive population growth in the Puget Sound region and the designation of the site as an important urban node, this site was redesigned keeping in mind the accommodation of neighborhood amenities and transit connections. Also included was the addition of office and retail space, while meeting minimum parking requirements, and improving the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ecological function through management of all stormwater onsite, and replacement of the existing lowdensity townhouses in the floodplain of the Sammamish River with riparian habitat.

This project explored design and rendering methods using 3D modeling software. Two different approaches were used in developing Sketchup building models for each of the two buildings. For the building at 619 E Pine St., building components and materials were applied to the surfaces of the building in order to create a model that approximated the original building. The building model at 501 E Pine St took another approach, using the Photo Match function to apply textures onto the building faces. These textures were derived from actual photos taken during site visits. All element of this project were developed on my own, except for several building components (including doors and windows) which were publicly available on Google 3D Warehouse.

This final project of the Digital Design Practicum course developed a methodology for creating an inventory of URM buildings in Seattle neighborhoods. Because no municipal record of URM buildings exist, this required a combination of examining assessorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parcel data. Working in groups of two, these results were cross-referenced against multiple lists of historic landmarks, and finally verified through site visits and photo documentation. The end product was an inventory of URM buildings for the Admiral neighborhood, ranked by priority for seismic retrofits, and shown graphically through maps and a Sketchup model of the neighborhood. My primary role for this project included Sketchup modeling, conducting background historical research, site visits, managing large quantities of assessors data and creation of maps.

Jiaju Village is divided into three parts: Jiaju 1, Jiaju 2, and Jiaju 3. We chose to study a cluster of five to seven households in each section of the village. We chose households based on their general proximity to each other, shared space and paths, and the presence of guest houses. Each cluster has its own character, which has been influenced by vehicular and pedestrian accessibility, slope of the site, where on the overall slope it is, vegetation, and the governmental designation as a mass tourist destination (resulting in more government investment into the cluster) or a “deep” tourism destination. “Deep” tourist locations are those that are not easily accessible by car or bus and do not

As partROLES of a 25 member group that ADD went to China for a summer field study program, I was part of a three person team that developed a methodology to map and inventory buildings, paths, and other infrastructure in Jiaju, a rural village in the Sichuan Province of China. During our time there, we examined the villages three clusters, to better understand its characteristics, and evaluate its tourism capacity. Accessibility, and the quality of building, road and water infrastructure was used as criteria. Information about each cluster was gathered through a combination of detailed notes, GPS data, and interviews with local villagers.

For those who find the way, the journey to and through San Juan Island National Historical Park is a scenic and rare opportunity to experience a rich cultural and ecological resource.

[ON] BOARD

[ON] ISLAND

+ Non-interactive, static interface + One-way flow of information + Updated content, but difficult to navigate + Not wellintegrated with social media + At San Juan Island National Historical Park, the approach lacks intrigue and the anticipation of arrival + A long ferry ride gives riders ample time to orient and gather information about the park, but the park does not extend its reach to the ferry + An approach without intrigue lacks drama for those who view the park as a destination while a lack of visual presence on the ferry ride misses an opportunity to opportunistically attract visitors

[ON] SITE

[ON] RETURN

Gorgeous landscape, but… + Lack the sense of history and personal connections to the land + No programs and activities on the site + Single narrative throughout the park + Isolated from the rest of the island + Hard to share experience with the rest of the world + Where can I find more information?

+ Currently, the experience ends when visitors exit SJI-NHP + There is no opportunity for reflection or feedback on experiences + There are no places for visitors to create and share content relating to their visit

University of Washington, Van Alen Institute, and the National Park Service

+ SJINHP lacks presence on the island, despite strong connections in established trail networks. + Not a clear wayfinding strategy + The opportunity to connect to other local parks is not realized

The Van Alen Institute in partnership with the National Park Service held a design competition to reimagine America’s national parks. I was part of a collaborative team of 21 students including planners, architects, landscape architects, ecologists and museologist at the University of Washington in a quarter-long studio. We worked with staff from San Juan Island National Historical Park to find ways to provide improved accessibility and interpretive opportunities for park visitors and local residents. Further refinement of studio outcomes were used in the design submission, where the University of Washington placed as one of six finalist teams. One important element of the project included a digital strategy that looked at new ways of engaging park visitors in the historical and ecological narratives of the park, by bringing the concept of the park visitor center into the landscape itself through digital technology. My role on this project included developing the digital strategy with five other teammates, preparing mockups, presentation and display boards (using Photoshop, Indesign, Powerpoint and Prezi), providing GIS and GPS mapping, project management, and conducting field research.

December 2011 The Landscape Architecture Foundation (LAF) partnered with the University of Washington’s Sustainable Urban Landscapes class to develop a set of case study briefs featuring sustainable projects with quantified landscape benefits. Working closely with LAF staff, professional designers and other members of the project team, a set of robustly researched case studies was developed, documenting the measurable benefits of exemplary high performance landscapes that deliver ecological, social and economic benefit. My role for this project included the developing a case study that quantified the benefits of the Vancouver Convention Center Expansion Project. In correspondence with the design team, a methodology was developed that quantified marine habitat creation, and reductions in stormwater runoff, on-site irrigation, heat gain and heat loss. A narrative describing the project was also synthesized, and additional imagery collected that would highlight the project.

Enlisted by PSRC’s Regional Food Policy Council, the University of Washington studio team identified and pursued research topic areas examining the regional food system. These research areas would inform the development of early action items on the Council’s work plan. Products included an initial conditions report for the food system in the central Puget Sound region, as well as a set of reports that focused on six specific topics addressing emerging issues in the food system. My role on this project included developing, with three other students, a chapter about food hubs. In particular, I co-developed a case study on the Everett Farmers market, to derive lessons to inform future regional food hub efforts. I also assisted with report layout, GIS mapping and led the development of the studio website. This report is also listed as a resource on a section on food hubs on the USDA website.
