Country Estate For this country estate, I was in charge of creating a base plan for the planting design and outdoor fireplace. Using an old planting plan, aerials, and on-site measurements I create a base plan for the planting design and outdoor fireplace. I created the sheetset for presentation, labelling all the plants, creating a 1 plant schedule with images, and rendered the L-401 fireplace designed by Brandon Druffel, RLA.

Urban Courtyard No. 1 Like all urban courtyards, space is always a constraint. This one was particularly a challenge because it ran along the alleyway. In order to flatten the proposed patio to suitable height, a wall was designed to run parallel to the alleyway. Brandon Druffel, RLA, designed the space RAILING PRECEDENT and I used Sketchup and Photoshop for the render.

PLANTING SCHEDULE

This urban courtyard was designed and built for my parents. When designing, I attempted to blend all axis, and tie every aspect of the design together. The pergola creates enclosure that tie the patio rooms together and connects to the ground plane through the porch swing. Evergreens are used to create walls, obscuring the road and suburban community. At the of the axis, a Tulip Poplar is planted, beckoning for humming birds in the spring.

The Firepit This outdoor firepit was ultimatley installed and built in Indian Hill Ohio, A suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio. Its classical design was built for the ages.

Urban Courtyard No. 3 Situated in the Pendleton Neighborhood of downtown Cincinnati, this urban courtyard did not have a good use of space, but had a lot of potential. In collaboration with Brandon Druffel, RLA, we designed the space and I rendered this courtyard as well as 4 other concepts. Its lush walls of foliage, with overhead lighting, and a fountain bring elegance and beauty to the urban core.

The Hidden Courtyard Situated behind a narrow alleyway in the historic Mount Adams neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, this urban courtyard brings a level of surprise to the experience of outdoor living.

Outdoor Church Located outside of Cincinnati, there had been wispers at Unity of Garden Park of renovating the barn into an outdoor event venue for years. I wanted to make it into a reality and to give congregants something to set a goal towards achieving. The space I designed can seat 100 guests comfortably, encorporating the existing gazebo and old wood barn on the campus. Sliding doors would open out onto a crushed limestone patio with overhead lights, and plenty of room for dancing or fellowship. At the entrance a horse trough fountain would welcome gusets in and subdue the sounds of the parking lot next door.

Contemporary Pool Design & Render The design for this outdoor oasis was very constrained due to setbacks and the existing driveway. After dozens of concepts, we landed on the minimalistic rectangular form to optimize space given the constraints. A trellis was added to create a buffer between the driveway and outdoor living. A central focal point of a combined sheer descent water feature and gas fire pit draws the eye outward, expanding the sense of space.

2 Stitching Ecosystem Services Through Vacant Lots and Alleyway Connectivity

titching Ecosystem Services Through Vacant lots and Alleyway Connectivity

This proposal builds upon one of the California neighborhood’s strengths by taking advantage of the neighborhood’s tree canopy covered alleyway system. By increasing this tree canopy on vacant lots, bird populations will increase over time, and so will the ecosystem services found within the community. Fruiting trees and shrubs placed along a path will entice birds and passerby within the vacant lots, leading into the shaded alleyway system. The alleyways themselves would also help with flood control through a grassed “thread” of permeable paving, creating aesthetic appeal that “stitches” the neighborhood, and its ecosystem services, back together again. Through these vacant lot and alleyway enhancements, the neighborhood will experience a greater pride of place. In order to teach the neighborhood children about ecosystem services, and the many benefits they provide, a nature playscape in a vacant lot across from Wheatley Elementary will provide the foundation for a more sustainable future. The nature playscape will teach the children about the four ecosystem services found within the playscape and furthermore their community, in a fun and engaging environment that abstractly tells the story of how Louisville came to be.

Alleyway Revitalization: From Utilitarian to the Communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Back Yard. The 6.75 miles of alleyways in the neighborhood are impermeable and most are paved of asphalt, with approximately 4000 ft of brick laid alleys. The impermeability of the alleyways contributes to the flooding found in and around the neighborhood. Approximately 130 k ft 2 of alleyway could be impermeable through this plan, which could be implemented over 25 years as seen to the right. Not only would this be better for the environment, improving regulating ecosystem services, but it could also create a better sense of place, encouraging neighbors to use their asset of alleys even more. This system of permeable alleyways would begin around Wheatley Elementary, and spread to the other parts of the neighborhood. The brick from excavation could be implemented in gabions as seen in the alleyway entry to the right.

Regional Context The railroad path, karst limestone blocks, and the falls provide a regional story children and adults can relate with and create pride in place 37

The Cavity nest is a form of nest that celebrates birds and the services they provide the ecosystem. It also creates a place of enclosure to destress when needed. The Fallen Nest is a metaphor for the loss of forests and tree canopy in the karst limestone lands of central Kentucky. Reclaimed timber from trees fallen on site can be made into stepping stone stumps leading up to the nest. Encircled inside the nest are etched facts about birds and the services they provide humans and the ecosystem alike.

The Bird Blind engages the viewer to see the beauty in the flight of birds. Paying homage to the Canadian geese, the bird blind creates a unique experience, playing with shadows and light. As the day progresses, the rhythmic flight pattern of the geese progresses in shadow as well. Made from a single sheet of galvanized aluminum that has been rolled and then stencil cut, the bird blind will create a lasting effect on any bird haven or sanctuary.

5 Urban Design for the Autonomous Vehicle

2nd street

The block between Freedom Way and Second Street, and between Joe Nuxhall Way (Main street) and Marian Spencer Way (Walnut Street) in Cincinnati is the focus of this study. After the demolition of the Reds Riverfront Stadium in 2002, the block was a clean slate. Today, it is primarily composed of residential apartments and restaurants on the ground floor, including two levels of public parking below. In terms of retail activity, the North side of the block along 2nd Street is vacant while the south side sees most of its revenues on the weekends, particularly in the evenings. There is a streetcar stop along 2nd street which prohibits on street parking and hinders easy rideshare dropoff and pickup from Reds games and events. All the restaurants on the block are open at 11 AM, except for the convenience store along Marian Spencer Way, which opens as early as 7:30 AM on weekdays for the residents. Reds games can change the usual busy hours of a business. There is a service alleyway behind the restaurants that line Freedom Way, and it is accessed a lot as seen by the tire marks. The goal of this project is to improve the walkability of 2nd street, and to allow for a smoother and faster pickup space suitable for ridesharing, and the age of the autonomous vehicle.

The addition of the rideshare island will help to alleviate congestion during events by allowing pedestrians to enter vehicles on the passenger side therefore speeding up pickups. The rideshare island also slows everyday traffic, and creates a comfortable b a r r i er b e t we en p ed estrian s an d the street, therefore improving walkability. By eliminating this lane, an additional left turn only lane is necessary for the flow of traffic. Bioswales and the grassed streetcar lane help with stormwater management.

6 A Reading of Where there are Likely More Eyes on the Street

S t r a t f o r d

V i c t o r

The CUF neighborhood has several different vernacular types of housing. Some housing have porches, while others do not, but if you do have a porch youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more likely to sit on it, having more eyes on the street, and therefore creating a safer place. The stairs leading up to a porch determine how well connected one might be to the street. Stairs can be because of topography, or not. Few stairs to a porch create a closer connection to the street, and therefore create a better-connected society. An even more connected urban fabric and furthermore society is where neighbors enter dwellings through the same door and have a porch at the human scale, increasing the possibility that they interact.

Joint related compression

Sedimentary Compression

The emphasis of this narrative is compression. More specifically geological compression and some of the many forms it can take. This journey began with inspiration from the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Abstract Art Paintingâ&#x20AC;? by Mirza Zupljanin shown below. From this, I saw a karst landscape, with a large carbonate (limestone) platform in the middle compressed from the east and west. Karst terrain is characterized by steep limestone peaks, caverns, and meandering rivers that disappear and reappear. This terrain is formed by the dissolution of limestone after millions of years on dry land. Anticlines and synclines, a form of compression, are visualized in this painting with larger brush strokes that cut the blue and red carbonate platform in the form of black gashes or vertical smudging. Focusing in on the region shown below began an exploration in ways compression can easily be interpreted in the landscape. Through this study, compression formed the narrative, however release became the story. Simple grasses release the mind while the landscape and its derivatives tense it. This symbiotic relationship creates a peaceful, contemplative place.

Multiple plans and models were made throughout the design process. The plans began large and then zoomed in. Two 2x2 feet models were made to give a sense of space in the landscape, and gave far less emphasis on the materials and plant pallet.

The final plan integrates a unique water feature caused by the symbolic tilting of the perceived anticline and exposed sedimentary rock below. When it rains, water works its way through the platform to the braided stream below, like a karst terrain. The grass pattern represents jointing patterns and the angle becomes sharper at the anticlines. The pavers show compression and release with their sizing.

8 Reimagined Paris, Kentucky

Paris, Kentucky, lies at the heart of Bourbon County, a rural agricultural community 30 minutes outside of Lexington. Aside from agriculture, the community is famous for being the home of Secretariat, the first triple crown racing horse. The limestone found throughout the county provides the calcium for the strong boned horses as well as a strong building material for the characteristic walls found surrounding them. Analysis and research of the county found that because of the agricultural industry, the tree canopy and stream pollution was hindering the wildlife, and recreational amenities for the community. In this group project, we found that the best way to improve Paris was to beautify it with green infrastructure. For this project I created visuals and redesigned the Main Street to promote pedestrian walkability. The groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final product culminated in a 300+ page document that was given to the county planner.

The 1.5 mile green loop is a feasible idea to instill a green culture in the community. Along the route a painted tree lined path would guide pedestrians with signs telling community members how they can get more involved with this project. Eventually, the loop would grow and become an asset to the community to improve tree canopy and green infrastructure. In addition to the promotion of community involvement, the plan includes three iconic green locations, consisting of the 3rd street green alleyway, the 8th street reading garden, and the revamped main street green makeover.

Main Street Paris Like many small towns in America, Parisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Main Street has seen a lot of vacancy in recent years. Existing downtown walkability and lack of tree canopy do not help with creating an inviting downtown to promote business. Being a rural community, the car has more priority tha n the ped est r i an o r b ic yc le. C r eat i n g a mid street crosswalk flush with the sidewalk acts as a traffic calming mechanism by giving the pedestrian the right of way while increasing the walkability of the downtown area. Bioswales placed in existing parking spots help to beautify the street without uplifting existing grey infrastructure as well as help to cleanse pollutants that end up in the creeks. Bringing the character of Bourbon County back into Paris was also pivotal in the design, so the characteristic stone walls found throughout the county make up the perimeter of the bioswales. 1

9 Logo & Sign Design

Tallant Music Studio Logo Design & Signs My wife opened a music studio in Fort Thomas, Kentucky, and needed a sign and logo made. The boarder of the sign was derived from the quarter rest and embodies elegance. After several renditions of the logo, we finally arrived at the one shown which expresses sophistication, playfulness, and of course musicality.
