Joshua Barkley Landscape Architecture Mission Statement
My design approach is empowered by my love and knowledge of horticulture science and design. I am grateful to have this knowledge in my “tool set”, as I can see land as a science as well as an art form. It is my goal to bring my horticultural and landscape architecture passion and skill set to contribute to the culture of the work place. In the process, I look to help strengthen those around me while also continuing to learn from others and further develop my skills within the profession.

Ball Memorial Hospital Entry Plaza Muncie, Indiana Summer 2014
Plaza Space Existing Site - N.T.S.
Project Type: Communal Space Client: Ball Memorial Hospital / IU Health Secondary Clients: The Visitors of the Hospital Project Statement Intended for the workers of the hospital and its visitors, the site design provides a place for peace and relaxation while also serving as an iconic peace for the hospital entryway. Ball Memorial Hospital Entry Plaza
4
Design Goals • To develop an attractive setting for people to reflect and relax with minimal distractions. • Create a space that separates itself from the surrounding landscape and is visibly a centerpiece for the site. • Develop a planting scheme that will require low maintenance and seasonal interest. • Create a place to be enjoyed safely by people of all ages and disabilities.

Ball Memorial Hospital Entry Plaza
Existing Site Conditions
Site Evaluation To best understand the site and its potential for improvement, a series of on-site evaluations were conducted. What was noted was the minimal use of existing conditions. The overuse of concrete created a space that was cold and uncomfortable for people to linger. The available seating was also in the main flow of traffic, causing people to bypass seating in the space. Ball Memorial Hospital Entry Plaza
6
Design Process In creating a space that is both functional and aesthetic, it was decided to support a more angular design, which contradicted the curvilinear nature of the surrounding site. Lake Shore Drive of Chicago inspired the design to allow spaces for privacy and movement through the use of geometric lines and plant selection and groupings.

The Design The design looked to creates spaces and nooks for social and private activities. While achieving this, a direct flow of traffic to the building entrance was maintained. The plants selected play with the senses of the visitors. Plants help to form spaces and create a strong visual piece for the hospital. Plants were selected for their maintenance characteristics as well as their desired microclimatic presence.

Design Process The design process was led with a design charrette that gave our studio teams the opportunity to interact with civic leaders, members of the community and various stakeholders. Through meetings and site visits we were able to come up with various ideas and design concepts.
East Chicago Revitalization
12
Design Concept Our group noted three concepts that should be woven into one plan. Iron Necklace: Embracing the historical features of the city that included the industry. Eyes on the Water: Helping to transform the city to cleanse and optimize their water sources. Connecting Communities: Connect the disconnected neighborhoods and unite them in one identity.
• Connective passive and active recreation
Ecology
• Improve / restore natural water systems • Establish plans to protect ecological conditions • Improve habitat opportunities • Create opportunities for observation and education

Improving Streetscapes While improving the community streets, we can help create spaces for improved commercial experiences, storm water management, agriculture, and recreational opportunities. By increasing vegetation and decreasing paved surfaces positive benefits will abound. These benefits would include ecological, energy saving and human health improvements.
Indianapolis Blvd
Connecting People to the Community Through the charrette process we were able to visit the best and most concerning features of the community. One item that was noted was the potential to connect communities, ecological features and parks through multi-modal activity. This could largely be accomplished along the streets.

Design Process Research and reports on the habits and life of the Bald Eagle species was instrumental to the creation of data layers in GIS. Data layers helped to construct criteria to locate a regional park suitable to the Bald Eagle Species as well as programmed elements for human education and recreation.

The Design The design took the concept of a balanced ecological park and looked to accommodate existing site conditions. The selected site was an industrious, land stripped region. However, as case studies show, the site could be used to help enhance the concepts goals. Features such as the river, and quarry sites can effectively be cleansed and programmed for the Bald Eagle and human recreation. Even the existing Electrical Plant was supported by local case studies on how the plant can help aid the bald eagle species. A comprehensive site of trails, social spaces, learning spaces, and designated nature areas was created. Beyond providing a habitat for the eagle, an Ecology Center was created to help educate and program events for children and adults. Food Nexus / Ecosystem Relationship Diagram

The Design The design strove to achieve a “New Urbanist” society where people can socialize with each other and interact with nature. Stormwater is designed to be treated on site. The treatment in itself is designed to add interest to the landscape. The success of the design was largely based on planting choices to help in an aesthetic manner as well as in ecological functionality.

Project Type: Engineering Plan Client: Brown County Course: Engineering III Project Statement This project looked at land from Brown County and evaluated it for site development. The site was engineered to plan for stormwater throughout the site as well as traffic flow. This project used a variety of calculations for stormwater storage, land grading, and vehicular and pedestrian circulation. Brown County Conservation Center
Goals • Design vehicular traffic at a maximum speed of 25 miles per hour • Manage 95% of stormwater runoff on site • Accommodate vehicles and pedestrians • Plan the installation phase of the project through sediment and erosion plans • Design a logical process of drainage • Develop a planting plan that accommodates the steep topography of the land Brown County Conservation Center Site Plan
