DENVER METROPOLITAN STUDIO Site Planning and Design Studio Professors: Blake Belanger and Jon Hunt Spring 2011

Arapahoe Square, a twenty-block study area within downtown Denver, was explored at three levels of detail: urban design, building and civic space design, and tectonics. Three landscape architecture students [Jake Jenkins, Natalie Martell, and Lauren Patterson] and two architecture students [Tracy Ford and Katie Gallagher] collaborated to develop urban design ideas to create a more resilient and livable urban district. The building and civic space design effort was done in collaboration with an architecture student,

Entry Perspective

Katie Gallagher, who designed an economic assistance center adjacent to the selected pedestrian transit plaza. The assistance center and organic grocery store provide opportunity for outdoor cafes while a light rail stop and parking garage add a park and ride component to the site for those commuting to the nearby Central Business District. By offering an interactive and engaging commute to residents, this pedestrian plaza can help shape the new identity of Arapahoe Square.

Berms

Berms are used throughout the site to direct pedestrian movement, as well as provide a sense of enclosure for the outdoor dining spaces which are linked to the economic assistance center and organic foods store. They can also act as seating or a play structure for children. Asphalt, re-used from the existing parking lot on site, is broken up and stacked gradually at one end of the slope. Over time, vegetation will grow though the gaps left between the asphalt pieces to add additional visual and tactile interest.

Park Avenue West

Additionally, by replacing the existing parking lot with a new urban plaza made from modular pavers, there are opportunities for increased water infiltration and subsequent groundwater re-charge during rain events.

Design Process After a series of organization studies were done in plan and section view, I created a number of charcoal drawings to draw inspiration from. After selecting one charcoal drawing, I began using it as an ordering system, looking for different patterns or shapes to guide the design while also thinking about the different uses and circulation flows throughout the plaza. Clay modeling became a useful tool with which to explore many different schemes and begin visualizing the site in three dimensions. While working with the clay models, sectional drawings were created to determine if the forms were working at the pedestrian scale. Charcoal Drawing as Ordering System

M A N H AT TA N M E N N O NIT E C O N G R EG ATIO N PLANTING DESIGN STUDIO Professors: Jessica Canfield and Lee Skabelund Fall 2010

In order to reflect the values of the Mennonite community, a sustainable site was created where the building and landscape respect, create, and celebrate the environment. Natural ecosystems and a connection to the people and culture are also incorporated into the design proposal. The proposal mimics agricultural land by the organization of program spaces within a grid system. Just as the organized nature of farmland exists in the natural landscape, the orthogonal program spaces are surrounded by more organic spaces.

Spring Plantings Collage, detail view

In selecting the palette of plants to utilize on site, it was important to plant a sustainable landscape using non-invasive plants adapted to the site climate and conditions to encourage ecosystem and habitat health. People friendly development was also a focus. Small, quiet outdoor spaces were created for site users to have an aesthetic and restorative experience. Community building was also a focus when organizing spaces and vegetation masses.

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION The Manhattan Mennonite Congregation project served as a design, planting, and construciton documentation project. A set of construction documents included planting, grading, dimensioning, irrigation, and lighting plans as well as construction details. Additionally, the earthwork estimation was calculated using the Average End Area method.

MILE HIGH WATER: DESIGN STRATEGIES FOR DENVERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S DRYLANDS Specialization Studio Professor: Jessica Canfield Fall 2011

The Denver Metropolitan Area expects a population increase of two million people by 2050. With this increase comes a rising demand for water supply and subsequent need for wastewater treatment. Decentralized Denver proposes a new urban form, where new development is centered around a network of closed-loop, decentralized wastewater treatment landscapes. These multifunctional landscapes utilize a combination of natural and mechanical technologies to treat and re-supply water locally, reducing potable consumption by 74% and total water use by 46%, while providing

Wetland Community

sociocultural benefits such as community gardens and play fields. These decentralized wastewater systems will not only reduce transport costs, but also reduce treatment and energy costs by isolating and separately treating the three types of wastewater (greywater, dark greywater, and blackwater) in a series of naturalized wetlands, based on level of cleanliness. This new typology of residential development is scalable for different densities, and is replicable for other semi-arid metropolitan areas while creating a network of productive and socially sustainable landscapes.

As urban populations continue to grow, parks will become a critical component in creating and sustaining healthy cities. A review of literature related to landscape performance and 21st century parks reveals a paradigm shift in the ways we engage our built landscapes. No longer is it environmentally or fiscally responsible to implement and maintain resource consumptive city parks that are exclusively concerned with fulfilling social needs. To create ecologically, socially, and economically beneficial spaces, 21st century parks must include design elements and best management practices that ensure long-term sustainability. In Manhattan, Kansas, most of the city’s parks are recreation centric and primarily focused on fulfilling social needs. However, Fairmont Park has yet to be fully realized, and therefore presents the city an opportunity to implement its first sustainable park.

performance evaluations were conducted on Fairmont Park’s existing conditions in order to reveal its current level of sustainability. To understand how the park was originally envisioned to perform, the same analysis was conducted on Fairmont Park’s 1998 Master Plan. Findings from this process revealed an opportunity to update the park’s current master plan, in order to achieve enhanced environmental, social, and economic benefits.

Guided by 21st century park design, implementation, and management strategies, the redesign of Fairmont Park will not only help Riley County fulfill its goal of becoming a State leader in sustainable design, but it will provide the Manhattan community with a state-ofthe-art productive park, which promotes environmental education and stewardship, physical activity, local food production and composting, and stormwater Using the Sustainable Sites Initiative’s 2009 Guidelines management practices. and Performance Benchmarks as a guide, a series of

I have experience using ink, graphite, charcoal, mixed-media, colored pencils, and markers to create graphics. I usually use these skills during the design process to explore different alternatives before deciding on a final design. I especially enjoy creating physical clay models to illustrate and explore landform and grading through the design process. During my free time I enjoy creating collages and exploring photography.
