01 LEAF GALLERY ARCH400 I University of Mar yland i 2020 Located in Washington D.C, Leaf Galler y was designed to create a ceremonial experience. The visitors ascend a ceremonial circulation core while viewing a variety of art galleries from different perspectives. The changes in ceiling height create interesting gallery areas. The low ceilings create intimate art gallery spaces and the double ceilings create grand gallery spaces. The surrounding garden design is intended to orchestrate a theatrical experience based on the theme ceremony.

The stage area is the lowest elevated landscape and is distinguished by the long rectangular stacked reflecting pools. The parti wall behind the reflecting pool can be covered by vines or be decorated with artwork. The orchestra area is on the same level as the theatre and contains seating shaded by the trees.

Located at 1625 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC., Oasis promotes healthy living and improves food security for local community members. The goal of this agricultural/gardening center is to increase the access of fresh, locally grown food and promote community growth. At Oasis, community members can learn the unique skill of growing nutritious, healthy food. In addition, this center brings families and friends together and fosters a strong sense of community. This design transforms the traditional Victorian and Romanesque arch into a modern design infused with a strong sense of movement. The design is also inspired by organic forms, and the vertical garden takes a curvilinear form that emphasizes the movement of the punched in arches. These arches are punched in at 8” increments, which c a n g r a d u a l l y d r a w t h e v i s i t o r s i n s i d e .

The plantings in the vertical garden on the facade have shallow root systems and low feeding requirements for easier maintenance. Plantings that grow well vertically are ferns (for their humidity resistance), succulents, Annual flowering vines like black-eyed Susan vine,and air plants.

WELLNESS LANDSCAPE- A SECRET REFUGE
Community Based Design I Neighborhood Design Center i 2020 Designed in collaboration with Kelley Oklesson, Xiaobai Zhao, and Ian Kisakye Supervised and Organized by Allie O’Neil T h i s p r o j e c t s e t o u t t o d e s i g n a w e l l n e s s l a n d s c a p e f o r t h e I v y Yo u t h & Fa m i l y C e n t e r , a h u b o f a c t i v i t y f o r I v y Community Charities extensive community programming. A grant from the RDA will allow for the implementation of the wellness landscape, which will include an ADA accessible path, new shade plantings, places to sit, and an inspirational mural. From between the existing arches, a new gracefully curving path slopes gently down the site. The path is separated from the neighbors by a wall of natural logs, made from trees cut on site to make space for new buildings. Along the path, benches in small groupings provide quiet places to sit and contemplate alone or with others. The existing blank wall of the IYFC is transformed into an inspirational art piece, with quotes from Michelle O b a m a a n d b e a u t i f u l c o l o r s .

05 STEWARD RESIDENCE Landscape Architecture I Groundsmith Collective i 2020 The front garden was designed to complement the mid-century modern architecture of the house. A mixture of modern native and non-native perennials were incorporated into the garden design. The garden has accent colors of red, orange and yellow. Against the southern wall, a mid-century modern art screen is illuminated by ground lighting. The rhythmic pattern of the walkway gives the site a modern feel.

Studying the SCAD Museum of Art made me appreciate historic preservation and become more aware of construction details. The museum, which was originally the ruins of the headquarters for the Central Georgia railway, underwent a dramatic transformation to modernity. The museum contains a successful balance between the historical and contemporary structures. From multiple museum tours, I noticed the skeleton of the ruins all throughout the galleries. Comprehending the underlying structure of the museum was most important when completing my drawings and diagrams. In my parti diagram, I focused on the relationship between the old and new structure. It is clear that walls were built around the Savannah Grey Brick structure, exposing it in certain areas. Additionally, I included information about the faulty construction of the museum. There were many things I was recently made aware of that surprised me. For instance, glue was used as a quick binding element for areas such as the connection of the glass display cases near the main entrance. Also, glue was used to fuse together elements to construct the columns supporting the terrace. I also learned about what materials were successful and unsuccessful. The channel glass in the tower serves as a unique and iconic addition to the museum. The seamless construction of the tower structure adds to the interesting aesthetic. Utilizing the structure of the tower, Yayoi Kusama’s infinity mirror exhibit will be featured in the museum. Mirrors will be placed along the channel glass, and lights will be hung from the ceiling. The infinite reflections from the lights will make the viewer feel as if they are looking up into a galaxy. In addition, numerous shapes and sizes of Kusama’s “Pumpkin” will be scattered across the courtyard. This case study sharpened my understanding of how spaces are planned and constructed, and my scale drawings have improved tremendously.
