Designer Introduction Khira N. Smith:
I am a graduate of the University of Illinois - Urbana/Champaign’s Department of Landscape Architecture, as well as, a recipient of a Master’s of Landscape Archaeology from the University of Bristol - Bristol, England. I am currently a freelance designer and occasionally consult on aspects of landscape design and planting options. I approach Landscape Architecture as an artistic expression of problem solving; bringing the practical requirements of a client into a design that is both usable and sensory pleasing by both the clients and their visitors. Landscape Archaeology is a study of the interaction of past people in their construction and use of the environment; a multi-level landscape of past civilizations and societies viewed through their material culture and topographical alterations of natural surroundings. Together, they can accomplish amazing things in the realm of design and site experience. This is what I hope to persue in my designs going forward. Khira Smith, KhiraScapes

Allerton Park: I-View Project Park Design Overview:
The I-View Project was a proposed architectural instalation series of 3 structures for the Robert Allerton Park and Retreat Center owned by the University of Illinois - Urbana/Champaign and the once private residence of Robert Allerton and his adopted son, John Gregg Allerton. The site of the project was a wooded area with a lake on the park’s grounds. Our team’s concept was natural elements taking on structural forms. The first structure was to be created completly of wood, the second of a combination of wood and stone, and the third would be constructed of stone only. The structures formed would be a Children’s Treehouse, a Lookout over the nearby lake on the site, and a Grotto by the river at the South East of the site respectively. A new pathway would connect the 3 structures as a series, as well as, to the existing pathway. Below is my contribrution to this project, the Children’s Treehouse, inspired by the many children who visit with their families throughout the year as a place that is completely theirs within the park. It is a place where they can play during their visits. Picnic tables for visitors are provided within the wooded area of the site for families to enjoy and this Treehouse also provides a couple of picnic tables specially made for the children at play to enjoy a snack or meal, as well.

Museum of Natural Wonder Community Design Overview:
The Museum of Natural Wonder was a proposed addition to the University of Illinois - Urbana/Champaign campus between the Krannert Art Museum and the LEED Platinum Certified Business Instructional Faciity. The plan for the proposal included the design of the building (exterior and interior), as well as, the Museum’s campus. Research was conducted at several Natural History Museums throughout the United States in order to develope the design more fully; regarding exhibits and amenities, as well as, the overall focus and mission of the museum itself.
Inspiration: Curiosity Cabinets
Exhibitions
The original natural history exhibits were the curiosity cabinets of the sixteenth century. The term was originally applied to an entire room which was used to exhibit the objects the owner found interesting. The aristocracy used these rooms and later seventeenth and eighteenth century versions (ex. cabinet of relics in a sitting room) as conversation starters. Objects ranged, depending upon the interest of the owner, from books of various subjects to taxidermy animals and from bones of various animals to religious relics or medical oddities.
Fold-out engraving from Ferrante Imperato's Dell'Historia Naturale (Naples 1599), the earliest illustration of a natural history cabinet.
Paris’s Jardin des Plantes holds surviving remnants of the Cabinet Bonnier de la Mosson which dates back to 1735.

Proposed exhibition spaces for the Museum of Natural Wonder are shown above in black. Possible exhibits are shown in grey within the yellow circles associated with each exhibition space. Orange circles associate the exhibits with possible sub-categories and arrows are used to show the relationships that overlap between exhibits and exhibition spaces.
Museum Complex and Campus
The landscape of the museum complex reads like a map of the museum itself. Beginning with the parking lot (west) as the main public visitors’ entrance. A large open space greets these visitors with tall trees in keeping with the Cosmic Exhibit just inside the West Entry of the Museum. A Central Courtyard provides seating, access to the terraced roof, and access to the Museum’s Cosmic Cafe as visitors make the outside transition from one building to the next while other visitors transition through the basement level exhibits beneath. The landscape of the complex ends with the patio balcony and basement courtyard (east) as the main entry for students and other university campus visitors. The balcony and the courtyard continue the Human Nature and Flora/Fauna Exhibits found inside the East Entry to the outside.

Located at the center of the complex is a courtyard with a fountain and seating area. The fountain brings to the surface the fire, water, earth, and air aspects of the museum’s exhibits. The Elemental Fountain (A) sits at the base of the Terraced Greenroof (B) that provides space for functions and exhibitions as well as access to the rooftop paths and views. The Seating Area (D) provides a shaded area for visitors of the museum and students between classes to rest. Their is also outdoor access to the museum’s Cosmic Cafe (C) for those interested in a bite to eat.

Museum Campus Planting The planting concept for the landscape of the museum include plants with unique attributes such as contorted branching, coloring, fragrance, fruits, bark, etc. Plants should have year round interest and can be used as an educational tool for all Museum visitors. Plant characteristics may also correspond to the themes of the museum itself.

Burlesque Woods Residential Overview:
The focus of this project was on the hypothetical clients of a new residential property being built in a suburban area of Chicago, their lifestyle, and needs. The hypothetical clients for the design were to be determined by the designer and my clients’ description are given below, as well as, their lifestyle and individual desires for the landscape of their new home. The physical location of the new residence as it actually exists in an outer suburb of Chicago and the site’s real world issues were also taken into account.
The Clients: The Monroe Family A paranormal mystery writer who enjoys writing inside and outside the house, taking inspiration from the world around her. She loves the unique, strange, and eccentric, as well as, the whimsical. Gargoyle statues and fairy figurines commonly nd their way into her ever growing collection of knickknacks.
The Site
Design Needs: • Drive access from road to garage. • Formal entry that enhances the formal appearance of the house. • Gathering spaces in back of house that will enhance views and offer seating for family and potential guests. Both shade and sunny spaces should be considered. • Enclose backyard for the safety of the son and to keep the dog on the property. • Hide A/C units and enhance window wells. • Provide space to display John’s artwork. • Create rain garden in Northwest corner for drainage. • Provide lawn for play and entertainment.
Analysis Legend Water drainage issue to the Northwest corner of site. Electric power lines running West to East across the site behind the North facade of the garage. Hide A/C units on West facade of the house toward the North. Basement windows open into window wells on Southwest, Northwest, and Northeast facades of the house – make more interesting. Existing oak tree - save. Important sight lines from the house. Important sight lines from the garage
Mother: Abigail Occupation: Writer
A metal sculptor who spends several days a week creating large scale art pieces at his shop and workspace in the art district of downtown Chicago, his style ranging from the abstract to the more realistic. He would like to have some of his art placed in the landscape of their home for their own pleasure and for added interest when they entertain friends and other guests. He enjoys his wife’s novels and occasionally adds his own dragon collection to the knickknacks around the house.

HER Enhancement: Earthwork Survey Overview:
The following are excerpts pulled from my Historical Environmental Report (HER) Enhancement document. An HER Enhancement is used to determine the extent of new or additional information (i.e. archaeological excavations and finds, historical texts, surveys, etc.) which needs to be added to an existing HER document on a historical site for use by the National Monuments Record (NMR) and local HER office or equivalent. In this case, the information to added includes an earthwork survey of the latest and ongoing archaeological excavations on the site. Bristol HER Office (Bristol, England) Reference Code: BHER #24942
*Extracts, diagrams, and photographs from this report were utilized and referenced for a BA disertation written by Edward Renshaw in 2013.

3.3 Earthwork Survey Procedure Following the measurement of the site using long tapes to determine the scale of the survey, the location of the survey station was triangulated using control points along the paved path. A metric survey was then taken of the excavation trenches. Rough elevation measurements were also taken for each point of two of the three excavation trenches. The location of the third excavation trench within the wilderness area and surrounded by trees and undergrowth made the visibility required for taking elevation measurements insufficient. With no known elevation nearby to backsight to, the exact elevations of these points are not known. Calculations using a clear contour map can be made and spot elevations found. The survey covered the grouping of the three excavation trenches between The Old Signal Station and the Sea Mills Signal Station, comprising approximately 25.57m² in the northwest corner of the allotments (Figure 3). The survey was conducted with Topcon GTS-212 Total Station Survey Instrument, utilizing a single station control scheme and standard angel measurement routine.
Figure 3
The surveying instrument was set up toward the between the paved path and the grouping of excavation trenches on the southwestern edge of the survey area from which all the excavation trenches could be sighted and measured through the use of a leveling staff with a mounted prism. The instrument was orientated using an arbitrary ‘zero’ line established by using the leveling staff to mark a point at the edge of the paved path as a permanent object of reference. Measurements were then taken and recorded as angles in 0°0’0” (rounded up to 0°0’ for the sake of the drawing scale) and distances in metres (Plate 6). Readings were logged by hand in a small notebook which were used later to generate an annotated survey plan at a scale of 1:200 and oriented to Cardinal North (Appendix C).
The final survey plan was generated by hand using a scale rule, 360° protractor, and pen (Appendix C).
