ALTHOUSE ARBORETUM

(ONGOING THESIS WORK)

This project is part of my work with the Althouse Arboretum in Pottsgrove, PA. Thesis 17-acre arboretum was officially founded in 2014, and is operating successfully as an environmental education center. I am working with the arboretum to help them transition into a level 1 certified arboretum through ArbNet (run by the Morton Arboretum) by providing designs, planting

40

suggestions, and interpretation strategies.

In addition to the design work I provide, the Cornell Public Gardens Management class (consisting of 10 students) will provide the arboretum with a fiscal development policy and a collections policy.

60’

Year 6 post-EAB: total canopy loss. The greatest increase of sunlight on the forest floor will be 40 degrees to the north of the tree trunk.

The main challenges facing the arboretum are a small budget and the impending demise of the 250 ash trees due to Emerald Ash Borer (EAB).

Both the design and planting strategies I suggest capitalize on the demise of the ash trees, turning a potentially devastating loss into a sun-lit benefit.

Since the arboretum is about 90% wooded, most of which has a closed canopy, one such benefit is the ability to plant new trees and shrubs that can then act to define space in “garden rooms.”

New Plantings: evergreens can frame groves and create garden walls.

CASE-STUDIES AND CURRICULA (Left) The two satellite campuses, each located within walking distance of the main campus, provide additional opportunities to interpret sustainable landscapes. The learning that happens on all these sites can fit well into K-12 curricula for environmental and life sciences, a goal for the arboretum.

(Right) Case studies include examples from other arboreta as well as from the LAF’s Landscape Performance Series.

Winterthur Children’s Garden

LAF: One Drop At A Time: this case study shows residential-scale landscape interventions that visitors can take home for themselves. One of the goals for the Althouse Arboretum is to demonstrate similar interventions that visitors can take home to their communities.

TOOLKIT

PATHS: The arboretum has no reliable water supply on most of the property, and the existing paths cannot support vehicular access to most areas. I propose that the arboretum prioritizes installing a path network which allows for the lightest possible path network: one which will support a small work vehicle with a water tank. The reach of a long hose can then be used to water plants along a secondary path network.

CONCEPTS

ORIGINAL THEME: Shifting Perspectives.

The usual experience of an arboretum is from eye-level, on foot. My original concept was to play with this level by both climbing up into the canopy through varioius means, and by digging down. In this way, we can experience the eye-level of a bird, or a chipmunk.

BROADWAY: THE LONGEST ROAD

Broadway is one of the longest existing roads in the United States. It was originally a trail used by Native American traders. My goal for this design was to play time, and bring the history of the streetscape to life. I proposed recycling/salvaging elements of nearby historic buildings currently being demolished. I also proposed bringing the trolley line back to Broadway in an attempt to enhance traffic flow on the street, even as the street itself narrows to allow more space for pedestrians and bicyclists.

The value of these new street tree plantings increases significantly over time. (Analysis through iTree)

ULI HINES COMPETITION

ULI-Hines 2016: Atlanta Downtown Business District. I worked in a team with two other planning majors, a real estate development major, and a fellow dual major (landscape architecture and planning).

We focused on creating Transit-Oriented Development that would support elements of each of the local communities: college students, college staff, and the service, arts, and technology industries.

The buildings were all oriented to maximize roof top and plaza level sunlight exposure, allowing for lush green spaces in almost every public area.

PROFESSIONAL WORK LANGAN ENGINEERING (INTERN)

Interning at Langan gave me four months of professional experience in Landscape Architecture.

Langan gave me an opportunity to develop a great number of skills including AutoCAD drafting, aerial and perspective renderings, and planting designs.
