DIAGRAMS

Großmarkt Platz functions as a dramatic gateway into the southern quarter of Köln, Germany. It is not just a plaza space, but a link between old and new; the built environment and the green belt. A long Alleé of London Plane trees with a lawn and a water mirror fountain form the major axis between the Großmarkthalle and the new Transportation Hub on Bonnerstraße. This axis sets a dramatic stage for the unique architecture and history of the Großmarkthalle. An intricate system of paths integrate with the proposed development plan to create a seamless connection across the Bonnerstaße.

CAR / BUS CIRCULATION

The design seeks, not only to create desirable connections, but also to create desirable spaces. The Großmarkt Event Plaza provides space for outdoor markets, food trucks, and other outdoor gatherings. The Water Mirror Fountain provides spaces for people to play in the heat of summer or ice skate in the cold winter months. The adjacent green belt, cafés, and shops draw neighbors and visitors into the space on a regular basis. All of these elements shape Großmarkt Platz into a highly successful landscape.

REINVENTING A RIVERTOWN DESIGN TYPE: Riverfront LOCATION: Brownsville, PA INSTRUCTOR: Cecilia Rusnak

Throughout time, Brownsville, PA has grown due to its location along U.S. Route 40, the National Road, and its intersection with the Monongahela River. The Industrial Revolution allowed this community to thrive through its abundance of natural resources and ease of transportation. The project goals were to strengthen the connection between Brownsville and the Monongahela, provide recreational opportunities for the community, highlight lost or obstructed views and cultural features, create a landscape destination, incorporate ideas from our community workshop, and connect to a greater trail system. Brownsville Riverfront Park creates a linear experience that acts as a catalyst for a promising, sustainable future for 21st century downtown Brownsville.

RECONNECTING CHINATOWN DESIGN TYPE: Urban LOCATION: Philadelphia, PA INSTRUCTOR: Bryan Hanes

Throughout history, the Chinatown community has had its share of hardships with being recognized as a prominent neighborhood within Center City, Philadelphia. It has been dissected and divided piece by piece due to major construction within the city. As of today the community is strong, but lacks room for future growth. This project looks at restructuring the current road network to create better circulation patterns that would ultimately increase commercial, residential and recreational space to further strengthen the community and allow for expansion.

UPMC LIVING BARRIER

organic forms provide visual relief from harsh surrounding geometry

DESIGN TYPE: Healthcare LOCATION: Pittsburgh, PA INSTRUCTORS: Barry Kew + Eliza Pennypacker

UPMC Shadyside Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania conducted a living barrier competition in June of 2012. The design that my team created for a living barrier draws from the contextual elements of the city of Pittsburgh and its surrounding landscape. The design’s intent is not only to serve the programmatic conditions of its site, but also to encourage positive connections between people and place. The three primary goals of the design were to redefine the views from the emergency room waiting area, integrate organic form into the existing site geometry, and soften sensory inputs from adjacent utilities.

SPRING CREEK WATERSHED

DESIGN TYPE: Environmental Planning LOCATION: University Park, PA INSTRUCTORS: Larry Gorenflo, Frans Padt, Neil Korostoff

This studio was designed to introduce us to tools, such as arcGIS 10.1, and techniques to describe the spatial and temporal context of a siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s region using geospatial data, fieldwork, and descriptive analysis. I personally conducted a focus study on stormwater solutions within the Spring Creek Watershed. The suitability analysis reveals the lowest to highest areas of concern in the Spring Creek Watershed that can assist improving stormwater quality and runoff rates. This information creates a highly informed starting point for planning and designing within the watershed to enhance quality and rates of stormwater.

The much smaller mountains and ridges that exist today and can be seen on the map include Bald Eagle Ridge, Mount Nittany and Tussey Mountain. The two valleys that are present are Nittany Valley and Penns Valley. These landforms share the same geologic formations that previously dominated the region. This can be seen by the matching bands of color on each landform on the geology map. From mountain peak to valley bottom the geologic formation order remains consistent. They are sandstone, then shale/siltstone, then sandy limestone, and then finally limestone/ dolomite. This specific order is caused by the erosiveness of each geologic formation, with Sandstone being the least erosive and limestone/dolomite being the most erosive (Korostoff, 2012).

It is noticeable that all of the cities, towns and most major roads in this region are located in the valley and not on the adjacent mountains and ridges. This shows that the valley is much more conducive to development due to its flatter, more gradual, changes in slope. The ridge and mountain sides are not as habitable for civilization, due to extreme slopes, and therefore forests remain and natural ecosystems are more present. The ridge tops themselves are fairly flat like that of the valley, however, historically building in the valley was the more favorable choice because it was close to water sources and easier to travel to and from. The slopes and ridge tops have mainly been used throughout history as a source to obtain natural resources, such as tree harvesting and mining, rather than developed land. This connection between slope and land use can be seen on the large creative map to the right.

The Ridge and Valley Region, located in central Pennsylvania, contains many unique features. The ridges and valleys were formed due to the geology of the region. The ridges and valleys found in this area are now just remnants of an enormous mountain range that once dominated the eastern North American landscape. These geological remnants have formed the unique slopes of the Spring Creek Watershed and played a part in shaping the land use (Tamminga and Yahner, 2012).

Soils provide living record of landscape processes and human activities. Land use can be clearly noted on the map by the type of soils that occur there. The anticlinal valleys of the region contain limestone/dolomite residuum soils. These soils, especially Hagerstown, are perfect for agriculture due to there being well drained and extremely fertile due to its high rate of erosion and the collection of water and nutrients that run off the surrounding ridges. The ridges are the areas of least development due to the incline, elevation and non-fertile, residuum soils that are developed in sandstone and shale/siltstone (Brady and Weil, 2010).

Soils are grouped by formative processes and by parent material. The soils map shows soils that are developed in alluvium, colluvium and residuum. Alluvium are soils that have been moved by water, therefore they are located along all streams and waterways in the region. Colluvium are soils that have been moved by gravity, therefore they are located at the bottom of the ridges. Residuum are soils derived by parent material, therefore they cover the majority of the Spring Creek Region. These residuum soils are developed on the limestone/dolomite, sandstone, sandy limestone and shale/siltstone geologic formation (Brady and Weil, 2010).

The creative map above reveals the correlation between current land use and the geology of the Spring Creek Watershed, which includes slope and soils. The surrounding mountains and ridges of the region are Mount Nittany, Tussey Mountain and Bald Eagle Ridge. These mountains and ridges, along with their foot hills, contain the majority of the forests throughout the entire region. This is due to the geological formation of these zones being mainly sandstone and with some siltstone/shale. These types of geological formations form soils that are not nutrient rich and are highly acidic. They are also not nearly as erosive as the limestone/dolomite and sandstone soils making the slopes of this area extremely steep, surpassing twenty-eight percent. These slopes make it difficult for development, therefore not much is found here. There are also forested areas found throughout the valley as well where development and agriculture has either not occurred or has been reverted back to the landscape (Tamminga and Yahner, 2012).

The Spring Creek Watershed contains many important cultural resources. The information on this map focuses on the four different, major land uses of the region: agriculture, forests, development, and other land uses. By looking at the land use of the region, negative and positive effects of man on the environment become apparent and solutions to improve the area can be formed. The more natural landscapes within the Spring Creek Watershed are forests and agriculture to an extent. One can see that agriculture and forests dominate most of the region. This is due to the topography and soils. The agriculture is found within the valleys of the region, where the nutrient rich and well drained soils are derived from limestone. Patches of forests are found sporadically throughout the valley, but most of the larger expanses are found on the ridges and mountains. This is because slopes are too steep to develop and the soils are not rich in nutrients since they are derived from sandstone and shale (Tamminga and Yahner, 2012).

It becomes apparent that all of the agricultural land and most of the developed land can be found within the valleys where the geological formations are predominantly limestone/dolomite and sandy limestone. This type of geologic formation with its residuum soils that are well drained and highly erosive have made the valley land rich in nutrients and formed a gradually sloped landscape. The slopes range from zero to twenty-eight percent. These qualities make Nittany and Penns Valleys the ideal location for civilization and cultivation to thrive. The Farmer’s High School of Pennsylvania established in 1855, was the perfect location for starting an agricultural school due to valuable conditions. This high school evolved into the Pennsylvania State University and shaped State College and the surrounding landscape as we know it today (Szczygiel, 2011).

Priority Stormwater Management Areas

Stream buffers are important to preserve and recreate because it helps to filter stormwater before it makes its way into the stream system. Areas that are beyond 300 feet away from the stream are of low concern compared to areas inside of 150 feet because they are much closer to the stream. This allows for as much stormwater as possible to be filtered before it reaches the stream and also assist in creating healthier ecosystems in this area.

<150 ft.

Sink hole buffers must be addressed because they are apart of the Karst topography of the region. This type of topography has a high infiltration rate and is of great concern to water quality. Pollutants can easily make their way into the underground stream system and into the aquifers that are used for drinking water throughout the watershed. Soil types and the parent material they are derived from identify where polluted stormwater and easily infiltrate into the ground and make its way into the aquifers. Sandstone derived soils and siltstone/shale derived soils are found in a small portion of the watershed and these soils are least erosive making it difficult for water to percolate into the soil. The majority of the watershed contains limestone derived soils. Although these soils are rich in nutrients, they are of high concern because they are highly erosive and susceptible to water infiltration.

Hi gh Co nc er n

2-10%

>10%

Slope is an important factor to recognize when dealing with runoff rates. The areas where slope is less than 2% are of least concern because the water will flow at a slow rate once it reaches the ground surface. Areas of highest concern have a slope that is greater than 10%. These type of slopes must be addressed because of erosion and increased stream water levels.

Agriculture

Other

Land cover is a major factor in the rate stormwater runoff. Forests are of least concern because the vast amount of vegetation is able to intercept and slow down stormwater naturally and effectively. The area of highest concern is all other land covers that are created by the urban environment due to the amount of impervious surfaces. Agricultural areas are of medium concern because of BMPs and pollution of stormwater from fertilizers.

>1000 (people/sqmi)

Population density reveals the level of impervious surfaces within the spring creek watershed. The areas where there are over 1000 people per square mile contain the highest levels of impervious surfaces. These high levels, in turn, produce higher rates of stormwater runoff and pollution is also increased. Stormwater management needs to be of great importance to reduce runoff rates within the watershed.

The Spring Creek Region is located within the Ridge and Valley physiographic province. Nittany Valley is the largest Carbonate Valley made of limestone/dolomite geologic formations. The ridges and valleys found in this area are now just remnants of an enormous mountain range that once dominated the eastern North American landscape. The geologic formations of the region consist of four types and they have shaped the land use that presides today in the Spring Creek Watershed. These four geologic types are limestone/dolomite, sandstone, sandy limestone, and shale/siltstone. This can be seen on the large creative map showing how geology shapes land use (Tamminga and Yahner, 2012).

Geological formations of the Spring Creek Watershed are limestone/dolomite, sandy limestone, sandstone, shale/siltstone. Limestone soils cover the majority of the Spring Creek Watershed as seen in the map. Limestone soils are well drained, pervious soils. Sink holes occur frequently throughout the valleys of the Spring Creek Watershed, including Nittany and Penns Valley. These extremely nutrient rich soils cause a major issue when it comes to stormwater runoﬀ. Pollutant can easily make their way into the soils and eventually into the aquifers and streams within the watershed harming ecosystems and civilians who drink the water.

High levels of impervious surfaces in urban areas and farming practices within agricultural areas are not conducive to providing high stormwater quality and low runoﬀ rates and volume.

Land use is the factor that has negatively aﬀected the quality, rate & volume of stormwater. The most constant variable between land use and stormwater runoﬀ are the forests that cover 39% of the Spring Creek Watershed. Development (Urban Areas) covers 19% of the water shed & Agriculture covers 31% of the watershed. As seen in the map Development, Agriculture and other unidentified land uses take up 61% of the water shed, meaning that the water quality of the aquifers and streams are at a high risk and the rate and volume is most likely very high. Stormwater management must be addressed to alleviate these issues.

Riparian buffer zones and their existing quality are identified within this map. Current quality of riparian buffers are important to understand in order to see where this project should be focused first to assist the lowest quality buffers to increase the quality of water flowing into their adjacent streams. Improving the quality of all riparian buffer zones will greatly enhance the stormwater quality, rate, and volume the drains into the streams that does not get filtered or redirected by human intervention. Riparian zones are a natural way to process stormwater and we must not ignore them or else the ecosystems within the Spring Creek Watershed and others in watersheds downstream will be harmed.

WHY THIS

FOCUS?

In urban and suburban areas, much of the land surface is covered by buildings, pavement and compacted landscapes with impaired drainage. These surfaces do not allow rain and snow melt to soak into the ground which greatly increases the volume and velocity of stormwater runoﬀ. In the agriculutral regions highly permeable soils and sink holes are suseptible to pollution due to plowing and planting techniques, along with incorrect application of plant nutrients, pesticides and sediment.

Urban techniques include: - green roofs - vegetated swales - grassed filter strips - bioretention - pervious pavements

Major Land Uses

Agricultural techniques include: - BMPs - no-till farming - contour farming - correct application of plant nutrients & pesticides - perserving & enhancing riparian buﬀers

By adding stormwater management techniques that are soley mechanical and not nature-based will enhance stormwater quality, it does not have as much of an affect of decreasing runoff rates and volume. Runoff rates and volume are dealt with through retaining it within sewer systems until in reaches a dump source. Mechanical techniques include: - Tank Detention - Filtration Systems - Sewer Systems (Redirection) - Storm Drains

DESIGN IMPLEMENTATION DESIGN TYPE: Construction Documents LOCATION: Various INSTRUCTOR: Various

Through several design implementation courses and internship experience, I have learned how to draft plans/construction documents, grade, and analyze stormwater in order to fully convey my designs to a contractor. It is important to be clear in drawings, text, and format to reiterate to the contractor the specific design that you want to achieve. This is accomplished through line weight hierarchy, proper dimensions, alignment of text/leader lines, and any supporting notes, such as material choice, finish and application procedures.
