Figure Sketching and Portraiture Modeling “One place I’d like to go back to is Italy. Time moves so differently there. Absolutely no sense of urgency. When we stopped at the train station, we got off to make a call. Only one of the phones worked. And we couldn’t even use it because, of course, everyone else wanted to use it too. I remember first getting to Italy and thinking—how could you get anything done? But it all does. Just in its own time.” Abuela remembering her favorite places to travel. Time’s relativity softens it to something that landscape architects can mold. The design of a space can make time fly by—leaving you with a lasting memory of your experiences there. Or make time move so slowly—a rest from the bustling day-to-day. The speed of an hour can vary depending where we decide to sit and have lunch. So many components of our physical world connect to the way we experience time, and landscape architecture can be a means of setting the speed at which we live our lives.

The design of the site joins the homes’ winding paths at the central community space. Flowering trees and plants tuck the cottages away under pink blossoms, creating a sense of enclosure of the site while still providing access to the nearby downtown. The community space allows access to paths surrounding the cottages as well as outdoor gathering spaces and a quiet pair of benches beneath Japanese Magnolias. The cottages and their back porches facing the greenspace and paths are intended to encourage community within small site while still providing connection to local amenities through trails that connect the residents to Broad St and the greenway.

There is something so intimate about a small cottage tucked in the woods. A winding path through flowers and greenery leads up to the front door. Smoke billowing softly from the chimney. A nestled collection of quaint cottages with opportunities for community growth among the winding paths and trees, a world all its own within the growing city.

The Camucia-Cortona Train Station is meant to be a place where a passerby can sit and enjoy a hour or two of an Italian summer, kept cool under orange trees or beside a bubbling fountain. The cafĂŠ and its patio space offer espresso and a place to sit and await the next train. The two main axes find their joint at the central circle and its fountain, dividing the space by speed with the area closest to the platform providing access and visibility to the incoming trains and slowing down as one moves clockwise through the space. The cafĂŠ patio provides a place to sit and eat with company, and furthest from the station, the furthest fountain and its benches and plantings allow you to sit in shade, your surroundings slow and quiet.
Living an Italian summer in the Tuscan countryside caused a sort of subconscious epiphany in my design process. Every day meant a morning or afternoon with an espresso sketching whoever sat at the table across the patio or strolling along streets laid centuries ago. Things move slowly and in their own time.
Ink + Pencil Sketches
Incorporating methods of hand rendering such as watercolor and ink drawings into digital modes of drafting translates the familiarity of classical mediums to more novel means of communication.

The winding and interlocking paths of the oconee greenway provide visitors with a way of meandering through a parkspace that neighbors the north oconee river. the main spine and the smaller paths that weave through offer a transition from open spaces to outdoor seating, a shaded pavilion area, playground, boardwalk, bed and breakfast cottages, and commercial space with some connected housing. This range of amenities allows the greenway to be enjoyed in many different ways and encourages a transition that connects the greenway to downtown athens.

Bosques and Live Oak Allees envelop the park promoting a stroll past market stalls off the East River. Shop or leisurely wander through the bosques to bistros. Inspiration was taken from Villa Borghese in Rome, Italy.

Located along the coast in Brunswick, Georgia, the Mary Ross Waterfront Park offers visitors access to a variety of amenities. Providing retail and restaurant space, the mixed use development presents opportunities to shop or leisurely wander through planted tree bosques to bistros and market stalls in addition to the existing farmer’s market pavilion. Seating is located throughout the bosques in benches and picnic tables, providing views of the water framed through the allÊe of live oaks.

Organic and raw, figure drawing, much like designing, breaks down the anatomy of its subject to refine the structure and design. Studying the anatomy of man and the landscapes that man inhabits to comprehend the inherent structure of a composition.

Watercolor and Pencil are two of my favorite mediums to recreate the landscapes and people that I interact with. The fluidity of the watercolor partnered with the soft strokes of pencil capture the memories.

Modeling allows for expression of design in a different form. As more literal representation of the designer’s work, a model becomes an extension of the design and a piece of the composition while interacting with the designs in a physical way.
