Peter’s Courtyard Landcare
Spring 2020
The Peter’s Courtyard planting design is a professional project created while working at the University of Minnesota’s Landcare under the supervision of a licensed Landscape Architect. Due to the nature of Peter’s Hall being within a large institution, two objectives for the design was simplicity and unity for purposes of manageable maintenance and connection to context.
Although minimalistic, this garden is filled with texture and bold colors that balance each other out through every season. These aspects entice comfortability and relaxation within the intimate space.

The intention of Convergence is to mimic the surrounding landscape, poetically and experientially. The narrative of the building represents two pieces converging together, similar to the spectacular continental divide. Not only does the tectonic movement continually shape the divide’s geological structure, but also the corrosive water that flows through it.
The building is representative of the jagged and jarring rock formations through the northern Icelandic landscape. Furthermore, the boardwalk path system expresses the movement of glacier rivers. This project aims to honor the interactions between earth and water.

05 Modular Path System The pathway module concept was designed with land and geo-conservation at the forefront. The overall modules are elevated with an edging to limit visitors from straying way from the path which will reduce the amount of landscape damage. Footings of the modules are meant to be non-destructive in which they sit on top of the land verses being drilled in. To accommodate to the terrain, the footings are adjustable. The materials were chosen for its low maintenance and durability. Lastly, the construction would be carried out in a top-down process, reducing the possible landscape destruction via machinery.

VERAMBULO The Resilient Walkway Spring 2020
Through a series of material research and investigation, this project aimed to understand the intersectional relationship between the material of plastic and landscape. There is no question regarding the negative impact plastic has on our environments. The first objective of this project is to re-imagine the life cycle of plastic from extraction to decomposition, all while creating a precise and comprehensive material detail that is regenerative in various ways. This project focuses on styrofoam (polystyrene). Because of its chemical bonding, it is almost impossible to decompose and recycle.
Superworms, or Zophobas morio, are special creatures that have the ability (and desire) to consume, digest, and break the chemical bonds of styrofoam so that it can be biodegradable. This is due to their bacterial gut microbiota. Verambulo is a sidewalk detail that incorporates recycled styrofoam panels and superworms to create a generative, living walkway. In the summer months, the worms are incorporated with the panels to ultimately produce a permeable walk surface that is ideal for catching runoff. In addition, the worm secretions from the foam are able to be biodegraded.

Upper Harbor Terminal Culture of the People Nature of the River Fall 2019
Upper Harbor Terminal was a highly active industrial site and barge port built next to the Mississippi River in the 1950s. Today, the majority of the structures are left abandoned as the companies vacated. The site is far from empty, however. Nature and artistic explorers have reclaimed the space as their haven. As a missing link between the Minneapolis Grand Rounds, the Upper Harbor Terminal site creates a perfect opportunity as a park for the community of North as well as the region. The North community has been under-served and over-promised which can be seen throughout history. An objective for this project is to
design a space in which both the North community and region can connect and celebrate each other’s culture, without being at the expense of the North citizens. Showcasing one’s culture through food, art, and music is an immersive way to connect people from many walks of life. The comprehensive design of the park incorporates a web of community connections. In addition, nature is woven back into the city which is vital for the health of the river and humans. The geometries of the main pedestrian path, forest, and river edge are inspired by Harold Fisk’s Mississippi cartography.
