project overview The usc keck medical center wanted to create a visually pleasing space for their patients dealing with cancer. the project focused on a roof top that was looked upon by multiple windows and an overhead walkway. the space could not be accessed by the patients so all design concepts had to be purely visual. the site also had weight constraints and was split over two semi-connected areas.

design concept my final design combined water, wildlife, and familiar elements. the idea of having your yard as the view was based upon the concept of patients wanting to be surrounded by positive elements. the feeling of not being at a hospital, but rather being at home promotes a very positive element. elements, such as bird baths, artificial lawns and tree structures, and green walls not only, created the desired yard setting; but also, provided amenities for cooling and shading for the building, and ecological diversity on the site.

n project overview our site is located at the intersection of santa monica Blvd and Robertson lane in the city of west HOllywood, we wanted to created a place which embraced the culture of the city. we first established a plan that took advantage of the site amenities through the use of outdoor terrace space. included within this site was a luxury hotel, high-end retail locations and creative office space. a strong ecological element tied the site into the adjacent west hollywood park.

The concept of elevating people above the ground plane gave rise to the creation of unique terrace space. On these terraces a multitude of activities can be performed, from outdoor dining to bars and lounges. even the hotel pool is located on a terrace. the terraces also took advantage of the site by allowing for scenic views and an overhead connection to santa monica blvd, and robertson lane. personal Work

the concept of cascading ecology came from the visual effect the multiple terrace levels created. by incorporating a plant palette that took advantage of this as well as provided amenities such as shade and color, we looked to use ecology as a way of joining the multiple levles of the building. we envisioned beyond just the plants and understood the vital role insects, birds, and small animals play in a vibrant healthy ecosystem. Finally, we embodied this ecological connection in physical form by cronsturcting a network of vines that ran from level to level. included was the connection to the adjacent park on robertson lane.
project summary The west hollywood terrace created a plan that took advantage of the views and amenities of the area. through the combination of architecture and landscape architecture, site amenities and ecology are seemlessly connected through terrace spaces, to create an exciting and engaging space.

Programmable Elements in Exsisting Spaces
Our goal is to connect to the existing trail but
also enhance it as a point of interest by adding an extensive lighting plan for nighttime use; seating elements to give human scale; add programmable open spaces as resting spots and gathering places; and offer stronger connectivity to the mills as historical points of interest. Issues: Poor signage, low programming, no nighttime lighting
Strada Provinciale di Polvano
Exsisting spaces already have programs for the community. Creating a new set of programs and providing the resources for larger events like the “Saw Dust Festival,” Increase Education economic growth will be stimulated additionally local tourism as well as foreign tourism will increase.

Reusing and stimulating spaces that are already exsisting provides the most opportunity for increasing education along our trail. Particularly old buildings that are unused become places for education like museums or art galleries and classes.
Our trail system in the urban setting was designed to repurpose existing, abandoned structures into new exciting cultural spaces. the use of these spaces connected the community to the trail and created a link to the history of castiglion fiorentino.

our rural trail section provided the opportunity to showcase a culturally significant area that housed historic mills. These mills used water wheels to power them and were vital to the economy of the area. by positioning our trail through the area we not only opened up an opportunity for education, but also, an area where nature and art can be observed.

BIG BOY 4014 UPDATE
O
n May 16th and 17th, Chapter members Rob Shatsnider and Paul Guercio assisted Union Pacific as docents at the annual Depot Days event in Cheyenne, Wyoming, current home of Big Boy 4014. Union Pacific graciously allowed the Chapter to sell souvenirs at the event for the Chapter’s benefit. Chapter members Steve McFerson and John Shatsnider operated the sales table.
tubes; and about half of the grate and ash pan has been removed from the firebox. New coil springs for the Big Boy were ordered and arrived just before Depot Days. Additional work has been focused on tooling, which is required for staybolt work on all three UP steam locomotives.
June Work Party/Open House The June Work Party/Open House saw good weather and great people. Both days saw large crowds that were excited about all that is going on at RailGiants. Work continued on the Pullman windows with new windows being installed by Larry Blair. A new A/C system was installed in the library section of the Santa Fe Horse Car. This will not only make the library more comfortable to work in. It will also stablilize the temperature inside the car, which is good for the collections stored there. June also saw a lot of late spring cleaning happen. The area behind the Arcadia Depot was thoroughly gone through and a large amount of space was created. This will hopefully one day serve as an excellent protected work space. Lots of exciting things are happening and we hope to see you out at RailGiants in July.

Significant progress was made in June on cosmetic restoration of the Outer Harbor 0-6-0 locomotive and tender. The tender oil and water tanks were grit blasted, primed with epoxy primer, and painting with black polyurethane was almost completed. The sides of the water tank have been painted white over the primer. George Walker, the Chapters master graphics artist, will apply stick-on lettering to the white base, and then the black top coat will be applied to the sides. After the black has dried, the stick-on lettering will be removed, revealing the white letters beneath. The painting and lettering work is expected to be completed in August. The tender frame was also primed and areas that will be visible were top coated with black. Wood for the tender deck has been delivered, and it will be coated with sealer during the July work party. It should be ready for installation in August. Also, steel plates were delivered and cut to size to replace the corroded steel plates that strengthen the tender frame in the center and above the trucks. These plates were painted with primer, and rivet holes will be drilled in August. The plan is to rivet the plates in place during the August work party (three people required), and this task should be interesting to observe. Shelly Hunter’s father, machinist Ken Hunter, is making the rivet sets for this work. After the plates are in place, the wood deck can be installed and the oil and water tanks lifted back in place. With some luck, this might be completed before the Fair. 3

public interactions in our winter senior design class we experimented with interactions by the general public. We positioned elements that encourage participation: a color-by-number board and a shadow puppet theater. both of these experiments showcased how the public interacts with elements and how this can encourage social situations.

European photo study while studying abroad in europe i started a photo study on reflections in the landscape. i found that the reflections caused by water and glass created what appearedto be another world; a mirror image of the landscape, but with added depth and a feeling that the landscape flowed through the ground plane.
outside interests my outside interests include welding and metal working, classic car restoration, photography, and landscaping. I enjoy these activities because they allow me to be creatIVE and build something at the same time.
