COLORADO WIND POTENTIAL Conducted Surfaces Denver, Colorado
Problem: This project was a study of enrgy and reimagninng the urban fabric. As more people are moving back into the city, sustainable solutions are needed that use alternative sources of energy and re-think how we use the built environment. Design Solution: The core of this collects and stores heat that is conducted from a large adjacent parking lot to heat buildings, excess heat is also used to power a constructed hot springs on the site. Large swaths of switchgrass are grown on site and integrated into the landscape and harvested and converted to fuel for a car share program. Building form is designed to allow air circulation to cool the buildings. The architecture is designed to block the high angle summer sun and allow sunlight pennetration for the winter moths.

Carlsberg Brewery Copenhagen, Denmark Date: Fall 2011 Problem: Incorporate an intensive green roof system into the Carlsberg Brewery mixed use redevelopment. Design Solution: Using landscape as a connective tissue between the adjacent park and the building, this project proposed a series of connective “living bridges” as cultural and landscape infrastructure and as a way to bring people on the green roof. The green roof is divided into a series of programmatic uses including urban agriculture, native plants and gathering and entertainment spaces.

Westwood Mural Park Denver, Colorado Problem: The west Denver Neighborhood of Westwood suffers from gang violence and territorial graffiti tagging. It furthermore lacks open space and has no community identity despite its rich cultural heritage. Design Solution: Working with the community and the Barrio Unity Mural Group, I developed a programmatic park by providing a platform for the community to express themselves via public art. This gives graffiti artists an appropriate place to demonstrate their skills. The design for this park was developed by laying a mural across the site in plan view and letting the various lines and curves drive the design. The location of the mural walls were based on enhancing views of downtown Denver and the mountains.

Yule Mining Quarry Marble, Colorado
These 3’x6’ charcoal drawings are meant to capture the feeling of the experience as one walks the site. The sections and perspectives are sequenced in order as one would experience the site. Charcoal was used as a medium to capture the gritty and historical character of the site. Both drawings are meant to read together from bottom to top, left to right.
Date: Fall 2010 Problem:As a historic site, the remains of the Yule Mining Quarry lay scattered amongst overgrown vegetation and aspen groves. The purpose of this project is to develope a “PathZD\ Âľ RU D V\VWHP RI ZD\Ă€QGLQJ WKDW UHYHDOV WKH VXEOWH QXances and relics left by the quarry Design Solution: Sculped marble serves as a datum and directs one throughout the while still letting the user walk on and around the remant concrete and rusted steel, which is being reclaimed by the landscape. The installation of the sculpted marble stone is meant to disturb the immediate landscape serving as a catalyst for apen shoots to grow around them.

Landscape in Post Expo China Tongji University International Summer Studio Shanghai, China Date: Summer 2011 Problem: The theme of this international studio was “Post Expo Landscape China.â€? Shanghai hosted the 2010 Worlds Expo, one year later the existing site is crumbling and Shanghai is looking for new adaptive re-use ideas while promoting more environmentally friendly solutions, and re-connecting to its history. Design Solution: This park designs utilizes the industrial heritage of the site as a former shipping yard by re-using the existing shipping docks for recreation. The Park also incorporates many of the existing elements from the Worlds Expo, such as an existing pedestrian bridge to be converted into landscape and using existing expo buildings to be converted into a travelers village and shipping museum. Recreation is emphasized via large playLQJ Ă€HOGV FOLPELQJ ZDOOV DQG D ULYHU IURQW UXQQLQJ SDWK
