Koln Koncept Connecting the Greenway Koln Koncept is a redevelopment project. The object of the project was to connect an existing greenway in the city of Koln, Germany to the Rhine River. Our site to design was comprised of an industrial area. We called this area the Grossmarkt. Our team analyzed the site through four different specialties, developed and designed the overall site, and designed a smaller individual site. 4 Person Design Team Analysis: Water Biodiversity Urban Ag Industrial Recycling Roles: Planner Graphic Renderer Team:

Crescent Lake Land Analysis and development Crescent Lake is a development project. The project was to develop a site lacated in the Bryan-College Station Area. Our site to design was comprised of large properties and undeveloped land. Our team analyzed the site through suitability maps which led us to create land use maps. Our plaza at the end of the design was designed to be a major outdoor attraction as a walkable multi-use development. 2 Person Design Team Analysis: Suitability Maps Land Use Goal:
