personal statement All work seen in this portfolio whether speculative or real has been designed on stolen Native American land. Living in Minnesota, this land belongs to both the Ojibwe and Dakota people who occupied these sacred spaces for generations prior to colonization and erasure both physically and culturally. Throughout both my professional career as a project manager and my schooling I recognize that I am not designing for communities, but I am designing with them. Design whether it be architecture, product, or landscape does not happen in a vacuum and is not of one solitary person. My approach has evolved and changed as I have evolved and changed, and will continue to. I push myself to work collaboratively, design contextually, and listen actively to those who know more than me.

austin, mn The City of Austin in Mower County, MN is significant for a series of case studies due to the city being within the floodplain of the Cedar River, Dobbins Creek, and Turtle Creek, and floods are occurring more often and at a greater magnitude. This series occurred in the Fall of 2019 and the stakeholders were the City of Austin, Austin Parks and Recreation, Austin Public Works, and the Cedar River Watershed District. Austin was turned into a global city in 1937 when it became the home of Hormel’s canned pork product SPAM. Since then, much of the city has worked for the company, SPAM owns many properties throughout the city, and SPAM has funded various projects and community centers over the decades. The research that was conducted in the Fall of 2019 looked at the impacts of SPAM on the city over the years, the history of the Cedar River and its Watershed District, and the future potential of a rural town in a quickly changing world.

FLOOD RESEARCH: AUSTIN, MN

The story of Austin is defined by water, and its location within the Cedar River Watershed. The Cedar River Watershed starts in Minnesota before its long meandering journey through Iowa, in search of the Mississippi River. Austin serves as a classic example of what we in the midwest have grown to know as “rural”. The city began in the mid 19th century after the creation of dams along the Cedar River. The success of milling industry and the control of the waterway eventually leads to a significant population and boom into the 20th century. Industry and people lived symbiotically for generations, but not without consequences. Austin’s location at the headwaters of the Cedar River, and along 2 major sub-watersheds, Turtle Creek and Dobbins Creek, tell a daunting story. The 3 rivers and watersheds come to a confluence in downtown Austin. As history will show, only 3 dams would show the test of time. Many were wiped away from historic storms and flooding, and some removed in hopes to reduce the impact of the river on the city. RAMSEY MILL DAM

CEDAR RIVER DAM

Ramsey Mill Pond Dam was completed in 1872 just 2 miles north of the Mill Pond on the Cedar River. Like the Mill Pond and its dam, this too was owned by Hormel. Likely motivation for ownership of 2 dams in such close proximity was control of the waterway and ice harvesting in the winter. Today the dam is owned by the adjacent restaurant that overlooks it. Similar to the Mill Pond, the water backs up creating the Ramsey Pond. This pond is 37 hectares in size and is fed by a 50,000 hectare watershed.

Cedar River Dam was first constructed out of logs and boulders in 1853, before the city of Austin was officially founded. Originally owned by Hormel, this dam served to power the local flour mill. Damming of the Cedar River in turn backed up the river to the north creating the Mill Pond area. Over the years the Mill Pond was dredged multiple times to create a shallow “lake” that is 5 meters deep at its deepest, and has had 1 to 2 man-made islands depending on river crest. In the 1960’s a new route for the Cedar River was cut, eliminating a ecologically rich corridor of land. On this land now sits impervious buildings and parking, only exacerbating the flooding issue in the city. Today the river averages about 16 hectares in size with a watershed of just over 50,000 hectares.

This step has paved the way to changing Austin from a city built on the river to a city built with the river.

DOBBINS CREEK DAM

MCAFEE DAM In 1867 the McAfee dam was constructed, originally named the Red Cedar Mills Dam. The dam was damaged in the early 1900’s and rebuilt, but unfortunately shortly lived. In the winter of 1936 the damn was blown up in hopes that returning the natural flow of the river would reduce flooding upstream. The mill building has survived to this day.

The Dobbins Creek Dam was completed in 1934. Similar to the Cedar River Dam, a “lake” was created immediately upstream from it. The size of the lake varies depending on river flow, but today it averages 16 hectares large that is fed by a 10,000 hectare watershed.

The ecological history of Austin is startling and enlightening. Since the early 1900’s, Austin has lost nearly 90% of its natural wetlands and drained over 21,000 acres along the cedar river. Motivation to remove natural habitat was many fold; one reason was to create parkland like Horace Austin State Park in 1915; another was to get rid of what was a “smelly” area of the city. Either way, it is easy to see that today there is a ecological void across the majority of the city, though the river still exists. DNR HABITAT CLASSIFICATION, GIS, MNGEOSPATIAL COMMONS

FLOOD RESEARCH: AUSTIN, MN 1978 FLOODING OF AUSTIN

The summer of 1978 would turn out to be the 4th highest crest of the Cedar River. This was in part due to multiple sever thunderstorms occurring back to back. Over the course of 3 months, 3 record setting storms dumped enormous amounts of rain on the Cedar River Watershed. The July 5th flood dropped upwards of 6” across the northern parts of the watershed in 24 hours. July 16th set the record that year of delivering 9” of rain in 24 hours along the Cedar River and Turtle Creek Watersheds. Turtle Creek would eventually flow into the Cedar River and flood Austin. In September the third storm hit, the largest in area by far, dropping 7” of rain across the watershed. The July 16th storm would crest the Cedar River at 21.9’ In less than 24 hours.

TOP 5 CEDAR RIVER HISTORIC CRESTS TOP 5 TEMPERATURE HIGHS FOR AUSTIN

After looking at the historical spread of record temperatures and river crests, it is difficult to deny any correlation of peaks in the last 30 years. Though there is likely little to no correlation between temperature and flooding in Austin, this does shed light on a drastically changing climate in most recent history. 8 Out of the last 10 highest recorded temperatures and cedar river crests have happened in the last 30 years. From 1998 - 2013 mower county has been part of the fema federal disaster declaration 6 times between 1998-2013, all due to flooding and/or sever storms. 1998, 2000, 2001, 2004, 2008, 2010 The challenge today is how do we adapt. 99 DEGREES 102 DEGREES

AUSTIN 2004 FLOOD - HIGHEST ON RECORDED HISTORY In September of 2004, a record rainfall of 12” was recorded just north of Austin in blooming prairie. The combined watersheds of dobbins creek and turtle creek bottle necked into the cedar river in downtown Austin. From this, the cedar river reached a historical peak of nearly 25’, raising almost 20’ in just under 24 hours. The city sandbagged to the best of their abilities but much was lost. A 20-year old Austin man lost his life trying to cross the waters to safety. From 1995 - 2013 there were 18 flood related fatalities in Minnesota

AUSTIN - 2016 FLOOD In 2016 the cedar river watershed flooded again, inundating the city of Austin. Thanks to flood mitigation action over the past decade, damage to private and public property was minimal and no lives were lost. From the minimal cost to property and lives emerges what Tim Ruzek from the cedar river watershed district calls “flood amnesia”, and difficulty gaining support for future projects due to lack of negative impact on the community.

FLOOD MITIGATION: AUSTIN, MN

Flooding in Austin, MN from the Cedar River Watershed has become a crisis for the city. Due to global climate change, flooding in the downtown area has become more frequent and more damaging. The City of Austin realizes that in order to protect its self from continued destruction, it needs a proactive plan. The City of Austin asked the University of Minnesota to research a zoning buy-back strategy. They would like an investigation on the City’s parcel data as it relates to the floodplains, critical habitat, vacant land, and soil types. Moreover, they are asking the University to also critically analyze this data to present a prioritized list of parcels for the City of Austin to buy. The hope is to create a future buy-back strategy that the city can implement over the coming years.

500 year floodplain Major roads Austin City boundary Waterways

Analysis was conducted comparing parcels that fall within the 500 year and 100 year floodplains. Since flooding from more extreme rain events has become more common, and 100 year floods are happening every few years, parcels that fall within both floodplains will be critical to deciding which parcels should be purchased. 1497 parcels

Major roads Austin City boundary Waterways

The soils matrix of Austin contains 54 defining classifications, mostly sandy loams commonly found in floodplains. Since clay soil types are not preferable for development, parcels that fall within them are selected and pulled aside for continued investigation. 503 parcels

In Austin, there are 3 areas that the Minnesota DNR has classified as “Critical Habitat”. They have classified it based on rare animal and plant species. These areas are on the outskirts of the city due to development closer to downtown, creating a ecological void and broken native connections. Preservation of these areas by the city would ensure that future sprawl of the city does not reach it. 110 parcels

Purchasing vacant parcels can be an easy way for the city to obtain large amounts of land at a low cost. By doing this they can control future development, if any. For the case of a final buyback proposal, indicating vacant land parcels for purchase could greatly help guide the future of the city while also reducing devastating impacts of the annual floods. Vacant land parcels represent about 2% of all the City of Austin’s parcels 212 parcels

FLOOD MITIGATION: AUSTIN, MN

Based on the initially gathered GIS data on floodplains, vacant land parcels, ecologically critical habitat, and clay soil types, an assumption was made: land parcels that fall within the 500 year floodplain shall be a foundational element of the prioritized buy-back master plan. Since it is private properties that are being flooded, and damage to those properties exacerbate the flooding devastation, it would only benefit the City of Austin and its inhabitants to at a minimum, purchase properties that fall within this floodplain. Further, by overlaying the aggregates of these maps, the daunting 22,000 land parcel map of Austin becomes significantly smaller and can be directed to those areas of the city that are effected the most.

Parkland City parcel

PRIORITY 1

Land parcels in the 500 year floodplain and in critical habitat

Annual flooding is key to many types of habitats and their processes, especially ones that fall within naturally occurring floodplains. These parcels shall be recognized as a priority to the City of Austin in order to maintain these critical habitats. 68 parcels

Parkland City parcel

PRIORITY 2

Land parcels in the 500 year floodplain and are vacant

Vacant land parcels in the 500 year floodplain, critical habitat, & clay soils

City parcels that are within the 500 year floodplain and also vacant are likely to have a lower land value than parcels that are populated. Because of this, these specific vacant lots could reasonably be purchased by the City of Austin and are recognized as a priority. 168 parcels

Parkland City parcel

PRIORITY 3

Land parcels in the 500 year floodplain and clay soils

Due to the additional moisture from flooding and the nature of already saturated clay soils, parcels that fall within both the 500 year floodplain and clay soil types shall be prioritized and purchased by the City of Austin to hinder continued development. 356 parcels

MASTER BUY-BACK

After analysis of all the data gathered, the final buy-back strategy indicates that of the nearly 22,000 total parcels in the city of Austin, MN, there are 9 parcels within the 500 year floodplain that are also currently vacant, within critical ecological habitat, and contain clay soils not suitable for development. From this report, it is urged that these 9 parcels are the most financially reasonable to purchase, and should be placed as a top priority for a buy-back when funds become available. The next step would be an in depth analysis of the exact land value of these parcels.

HAPPY LITTLE PLANT: AUSTIN, MN

study abroad I participated in 2 separate study abroad trips while in the landscape architecture program. They were to Italy & Turkey in 2015, and Spain in 2020, cut short by the pandemic. Both of these trips have molded how I think about design and given me a greater understanding of the world we live in today. In all 3 countries I was not inly introduced to new cultures and traditions, but also to their people and the issues facing them today. These are issues of water scarcity, climate change, and deep cultural and religious differences. Both trips taught me to listen more and to see the world as a single living being.

water flow through the Matadero in Madrid, Spain

THE ETERNAL CITY

The below drawings were created as a hand mapping exercise in Rome, Italy. During a 5 week intensive drawing course, we were put into pairs and given locations around the city to catalog, draft, and render in the spirit of the famous Italian map maker Giambattista Noli. The medium we were asked to use were varying hardnesses of pencil and charcoal. In total, the class created an 80 page map that filled a classroom. Our group’s work accounted for 8 of those pages.

VISUAL CULTURE

The series of Japanese-style sketchbook below were a representation experiment to see cities in Spain differently. The course was led by acclaimed architect and scholar Ozayr Saloojee. While visiting the Andalusia region of Southern Spain, we were instructed to fill a sketchbook in each of the 3 cities and to do it with an over-arching theme, to cut/ splice/ hack it, and to forget about the sanctity of the sketchbook. The theme of my sketchbooks for the 10 day trip was “Texture”, examining how one would feel the city from the individual bricks with rubbings, to the large scale “texture” of the urban fabric and buildings.

WALKS AND BLOGS

While in Spain we were asked to try and see the city differently and to document it in a series of blog posts and sketches. I used this as an opportunity to experiment with photography, layering and saturation. I also filled my sketchbook with drawings of our studio project, The Matadero, a former pig slaughterhouse that is now an artist district. The images below are excerpts from my “Walk Book” that visually captures the routes we took in various neighborhoods.`

WALKS AND BLOGS

This series of 12 images are my interpretations of the cities we visited via photographs and experimentation. I used layering techniques to understand the cities and represent ideas of culture, people, and place. Spain is a country that has be defined by palimpsest over thousands of years and will continue to change over time. These images evoke movement and stillness, wetness and aridness, brightness and darkness.

STUDIO MADRID

Our studio project in Madrid, Spain was an investigation into water scarcity and implementation at a former pork packaging site called The Matadero. Today it has been converted into an artist district and maker spaces for the city. My project titled “SED” which in Spanish means “Thirst” looked at how the climate of Madrid will shift in the next 55 years to that of Morocco due to global warming. I then used representation techniques from steam-punk culture and comic art to propose a water sequestration site for the future Madrid that will also store clean drinking water in underground cisterns.

STUDIO MADRID

At the site of the Matadero, I speculated the hot arid future and what that would mean for the residents of the city. Then using an up and coming technology called Metallic Organic Frameworks or “MOF”, I developed a water sequestration system that would condense water out of the hot air. This water would be housed on the site in a series of cisterns and local residents could come and receive their ration. The existing buildings would turn into MOF factories and the future of Madrid could possibly survive in a desolate, arid, and overpopulated future.

cass lake, mn This small town in Northern Minnesota borders Pike Bay and Cass Lake and is entirely within the Leech Lake Native American Reservation. It headquarters the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe as well as the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe and the Chippewa National Forest. Prior to colonization, the Ojibwe people completely occupied the Northern half of Minnesota, but today have been forcefully moved to a handful of small reservations. Moreover, the Enbridge Line 3 Pipeline runs directly through their land, clear-cutting a 100 foot swatch of land through their pristine forest. Despite all that, the locals welcomed me with caring arms as we both value healthy stewardship of the land and of the people.

MEGWAYAAK PROJECT: CASS LAKE, MN

“Megwayaak” translated from Native Ojibwe roughly means “in the woods”. This project was a collaboration between the Leech Lake Early Childhood Development (LLECD), Center for Urban and Regional Affairs (CURA-UMN), and the Central Regional Sustainability Development Partnership Extension of the University of Minnesota (RSDP-UMN). My appointment for the Fall 2019 Semester was awarded from the Humphrey School of Public Affairs. The scope of this project was to develop a nature-based play design and master plan for infant to 5 year olds, within the 3 acres of native forest behind the LLECD. A research project completed in the Spring of 2019 that supports and promotes nature based play in the context of the LLECD by the same parties, was to act as the foundation for my designs. Images were provided from the Leech Lake Tribe so all people featured in renderings are native to the community and reflect them accurately.

The 3 acres of mainly Red Pines are quickly being lost due to development. This development is both by the LLECD Center and by an Enbridge utility line. The ultimate mast plan would hope to create a sense of occupancy throughout the entire space in hopes of halting further development.

Horsetail Grass Equisetum sp. Smooth Sumac Rhus glabra

The “prairie” is really a forest clear-cut from Enbridge Gas in order to construct a utility line that runs through the property. Since the construction of the gas line, a prairie has began to emerge and establish. The LLECD would like to utilize this area as a place to teach native wild rice gathering and cooking techniques.

Jack Pine Pinus banksiana Quaking Aspen Populus tremuloides

White Pine Pinus strobus Red Oak Quercus rudbra

Due to the dense forest meeting the open prairie at an exact edge, an emergent plant community has started to establish. This edge consists of young Oaks and Pines, as well as an Aspen grove. The LLECD has been using this edge to walk along and would like to install a permanent fence to keep further development off of their land

The main direction of the design would be to create 3 demonstration areas throughout the forest. These areas would focus on traditional and native celebrations, medicinal plant education, and nature-based play. The locations of the demonstration areas were decided upon based on proximity to the existing buildings, as well as areas that had already been being used as impromptu shows. Finally, the LLECD wanted to ensure that the entire forest was occupied by some sort of design. Area that had been previously unused were collecting garbage and were at risk of being developed.

Proposed Design - Master Plan

MEGWAYAAK MASTER The final master plan forPLAN

The master plan is an aggregate of not only the Demonstration Areas, but is a woven experience of tradition and culture. When walking in the woods you will become fully immersed in the Native Ojibwe way of life. The paths that have been designed wind through and connect the buildings to the demonstration areas, as well as a Sumac grove in the forest opening. A new fence line will follow the emergent forest edge and a formal natural wood mulch path demonstrate that the land is currently being occupied and used. Planter beds and rain barrels will be located throughout in canopy openings to teach children about native medicinal plants and how they are grown and used. The final step in the ultimate design of the Megwayaak Project was to walk and mark the new path with the teachers and the local community.

DEMONSTRATION AREA #2

the Megwayaak project is an aggregate of all the opportunities, considerations, and context of the Leech Lake Early Childhood Development. From this plan, the teachers will be able to bring the children into the woods, leveraging the benefits of nature based play. The design takes what is currently a vacant native Red Pine forest, and creates 3 separate demonstration areas, nature based play opportunities, birds and animal education spaces, plant educations areas, and weaves them together with a newly created trail network. The new spaces are spread across the entirety of the land to maintain its current boundary in hopes of halting further development.

DEMONSTRATION AREA #3 The final and most northern Demonstration Area will be the main location for the naturebased play. Along with the fire pit and log steppers, downed trees will be pulled into place for advanced balance-play. This will also act as the location for the Wigwam building station. Foundational posts will be set so that classes can some and teach children traditional wigwam building techniques throughout the year.

DEMONSTRATION AREA #2 The second Demonstration Area is the least programmed. It has been located adjacent to the Childcare Services Building, but still immersed in the woods. This is also the confluence of multiple inner woods paths and is next to their sledding hill. The design here is simple, allow fluid movement as well as log steppers and a fire pit for cooking and traditional demonstration. Due to the natural opening of the Pine forest canopy, this will also be the location for planter beds and rain barrels.

ABOVE: A series of laser cut stencils and identifications tiles were created. These tiles will be used while walking in the woods and have translations of both English and Ojibwe. The 10 most common plants and animals were chosen by the LLECD team.

During demonstration gatherings, custom wooden benches were designed to be able to be placed on log steppers to create benches.

minneapolis, mn Though not the capital of Minnesota, Minneapolis is the largest metropolitan city in the state. Unfortunately, the wealth distribution in the city is one of the worst in the country. Like many other major cities in the US, BIPOC and immigrant populations have been negatively affected by racial covenants expressed in the HOLC or “Redlining” maps from the early 1900’s. These racist acts have created a city with concentrated wealth among Caucasian residents, and concentrated poverty among Black, Hispanic, and Native communities. For nearly a year I have been working closely with neighborhood associations, community members, business owners, and University of Minnesota faculty to develop projects that reflect the city’s diverse people. These projects are meant to not only uplift underrepresented groups, but to acknowledge the histories that have lead us to today. Success of these projects will occur only if healing is allowed to happen, and trust can be built.

Lester: Potential of being loamy and well drained. Udorthents: Historically low spots in the landscapes that have been filled to match adjacent grades. Generally areas of early development. Dundas: Debris from glacial till, likely not well drained. Udipsamments: Flood plain accumulation but more recently urban fill, unlikely to flood. Duelm: Loamy sand stream Similar tofrom the Localized terraces out wash. Temperatures map, Habitat Suitability in the region relates almost directly to impervious surfacing. Areas of impervious surfacing like in the North Loop, rail road changing stations, and major roadways show low suitability. Inversely areas along creeks and rivers, parkland, and already native vegetated swatches of the city show higher suitability for expanded pollinator habitat.

For my Capstone Proposal I am examining the history and the future of the infamous Kmart Site in South Minneapolis known as “The dead-end on Nicollet”.

technical drawings Over the years I have honed my skills for technical drawings both digitally and by hand. I see hand drawing as a way to try to gain an understanding of a space, a material, and of a moment. I always have my sketchbook on me and use it to think through processes and systems. From there I will take this knowledge back to develop CAD drawings for eventual construction. This process has allowed me to be successful in both the design and build world and the project management field. I have used this skill to talk through designs with clients, classmates, and teachers.

4TH STREET REVITALIZATION: MINNEAPOLIS, MN

The 4th Street Revitalization Project was developed to beautify a two block street-scape in the up and coming Prospect Park Neighborhood of Minneapolis. The boulevard, owned by the City of Minneapolis, was asking for a design scheme that was not only low maintenance, but also captured water from rain events, provided important pollinator habitat, and took into consideration pedestrian and driver movements. The city asked for a finalized set of scaled construction documents that could be sent out to bid. The full CD set can be presented upon request.

4TH STREET REVITALIZATION: MINNEAPOLIS, MN

HAND SKETCHED DETAILS

This series of sketches was performed at 6 different sites across the Twin Cities. We were instructed to visit these sites through the Fall of 2020 semester and draw details based on our knowledge of materials and structures. We would then develop them through iterations to ensure they were all accurate and to scale. I drew my details in a gridded 1/8” Moleskin to develop them to a standard detail scale that could then me converted to a CAD drawing.

HAND SKETCHED DETAILS

The 6 sites were chosen to create variety in details, drawings, and materials. Each set took about 90 minutes to create and went through multiple iterations to understand scale, materials, and construction. Prior to arriving on the sites we were taught the history of the individual projects and aspects of the construction. Each site is unique and we used our sketcher’s eye to try to understand their creation.
