PLAYFIELD FARMERS MARKET
From the course syllabus: Places of urban agriculture have numerous benefits: they cultivate healthier lifestyles, strengthen communities, teach stewardship, and provide economic opportunities. As landscape architects we have an important and unique role to play in the developing urban agricultural movement. We can apply our landscape architecture skills to help design dynamic urban agriculture spaces that contain multiple functions and ecological benefits, build community through the design and build process, and reveal and educate communities about natural processes and cultural histories. Urban agriculture is rich with the potential to create successful urban public spaces.

Design statement: Food, play, and active transportation are all unique assets to Cascade, a neighborhood situated in the heart of the rapidly evolving South Lake Union district. With the existing Cascade P-Path community garden located in close proximity to greenspaces for diverse play and a multimodal transportation network, there is an opportunity for health and wellbeing to be incorporated into future thinking of urban agriculture in the area. Focusing on varioius health intersections allows for desires expressed by the gardening community to also meet the needs of Cascade’s most health vulnerable populations: elderly, food insecure households, medical patients, youth, and the homeless.

02 Making the Cut Location:Lake Washington, Seattle Type: Mapping Course: Landscape Urbanism Studio Instructor: Ken Yocom From the course syllabus: In layman’s terms, cartography is commonly understood as “the art, science, and technology of making maps.” More officially, it is defined as, “the science and technology of analyzing and interpreting geographic relationships, and communicating the results by means of maps.” Noticeably, the second definition does not include art as a primary foundation for map-making. For many, the making of maps has shifted to an entirely analytical enterprise, empirically grounded and devoid of creative license. Yet, this approach, disregards past practice, essentially flattening their history and meaning. In this way, maps are no longer reflections of social construction and cultural influence that relay power and knowledge. Others have challenged this notion, urging the viewer to read between the lines of what is displayed to challenge the ‘facts’ of the display, so that we can begin to understand how maps, like art, are culturally stratified, a “particular human way….of looking at the world.”
Design statement: In commemorating the centennial of the lowering of Lake Washington in 1916 (which had significant biophysical and socioeconomic impacts in the Puget Sound region), I chose to use mapping to explore underrepresented stories of Chinese labor. The lowering of the lake requires a major shifting of earth material, and Chinese laborers in the 1900s were inextricably tied to earth. Through the labor contract system, they were involved in major earthwork projects that included railroad building, regrading, and cutting and filling of Seattle’s landform. However, due to racial tension, their role in these engineering marvels have not been acknowledged.
1. Approach
Participants approach a modular grid of boxes. Boxes containing earth material are areas of Seattle that were modified by earthwork projects in the early 1900s.
2. Excavation
Participants excavate into the boxes to reveal the stories of Chinese labor undernearth, shifting earth around and depositing them in containers.
3. Revealing Stories
Colors and texture of earth-filled containers indicate the fertility of information regarding stories of Chinese labor. Underneath is a collage of stories and information I gathered.

03 Festival Island Location:Elliott Bay, Seattle Type: Event Space Course: Art and Landscape Studio Instructor: Laura Haddad From the course syllabus: Islands possess a sense of isolation and individuality. They can be vividly out of sync with their surroundings; even distinctly strange and unconventional. Arriving at an island can feel like stepping back or forward in time. This project is an opportunity to break away from old orders and introduce visionary, catalytic, possibly utopian, possibly dystopian, techniques of manipulating systems and phenomena of landscape. Like much art, the islands will be small in size but large in the impact of the messages they seek to transmit. They should be conceived as compact platforms for enacting transformative difference on a societal scale. The islands will be about the territory within their boundaries; but just as important will be their engagements with the human and natural systems in which they float.
Design statement: Inspired by the term “cultural embroidery�, I designed a floating makerspace and festival grounds that physically and metaphorically stitches together different traditions of making: arts, crafts, music, etc. Conceived on a barge akin to the shipping barges docked in Elliott Bay, the intention of the space is to facilitate greater multicultural exchange at Seattle’s waterfront, which it currently lacks due to physical and cultural barriers of access. With materials from different geographies and people of Seattle coming onto the barge, the space also serves a repository for culturally valuable materials to be stored, displayed, and remembered.

Material + Culture
Textiles define function and stitches connect textiles together. This embroidery metaphor is implemented as a strategy to integrate various practices of making. Patchwork design interventions are used within three programmed spaces that engage with material crafts in different ways. Stitching patterns are used to create furnishings, textures, and structural elements for tying these spaces together.

Island Flows & Exchanges After our individual site design process, our studio envisioned a future scenario in which all our festival islands were floating out in Elliott Bay. We imagined the types of material and energy exchanges our islands might make, how they might compete and cooperate in order to survive, and how they might influence mainland systems in the process. The following diagrams illustrates how our islands would operate as an archipelagos system based on the type of exchange that is made.
04 Tsunami Memorial Location:Sutro Baths, San Francisco Type: Memorial Course: Case Studies in Landscape Design Instructor: Karl Kullmann From the course syllabus: On March 11, 2011, an undersea megathrust in the Pacific Ocean triggered the Tohoku tsunami. The resulting wave devastated a swathe of coastline in east Japan, killing 20,000 people and wiping entire villages from the map. The wave made its impact as far away as California, with one person swept away from a beach. The Japan disaster followed a recent glut of devastating tsunamis. Memorials are being designed and constructed in many of the directly affected regions. A tsunami memorial in San Francisco will give many who were affected a place in which to pay their respects and to not forget.
Design statement: Sutro Baths is a dramatic coastal landscape with its own destructive history: a fire in 1960s ravaged a public bath house, leaving remnants of its destruction amidst a backdrop of crashing ocean waves, cypress trees, eroding cliffs, and coastal shrub. The power of nature as both a destructive and healing force over mankind is evident in this landscape. Sited within the ruins of the bath house, the tsunami memorial serves as a focal point for loss, grief, and recovery for all those affected by natural disasters in the last decade. The infrastructure of the pools in the Sutro Baths plays a key role in the site’s history, but has been submerged and deteriorated over time. Through the act of palimpsest, the memorial design utilizes the pools’ lost yet iconic form, overlaying new circulation, infrastructure, materiality, and experiences regarding the tsunami. The result is a landscape where past informs present and conversely, present informs past.

Pier/Water Rise Interaction The Inner Memorial consists of five boardwalks that extend into the water. The boardwalks vary in length and height, based on the level of engagement that visitors want to have with the ocean. Based on the tide level, piers fill up with water, creating reflection pools that serve as a reminder of both the site’s history and nature’s power.

INNER MEMORIAL: PIERS
The power of nature is fully experienced, with the dramatic sounds and sights of the ocean, as well as the backdrop of hills, immersing visitors with its overwhelming presence. The walls of the Inner Memorial are etched with prayers that glow in the night, serving as a beacon of hope and memory in the darkest times of day.
OUTER MEMORIAL: TUNNELS
An elevated tunnel with highwalls takes visitors into the Inner Memorial. It is a dynamic echo chamber that captures and amplifies the ocean waves, serving as the first reminder of nature’s overwhelming presence through the power of sound.
ENTRY CHAMBER
Sheltered from the waves and shaded by coastal trees, the chamber is a calming point of departure.
05 Post-Freeway Park Location: Market-Octavia, San Francisco Type: Park Course: Case Studies in Landscape Design Instructor: Karl Kullmann From the course syllabus: The city block bordered by Octavia Boulevard, Fell, Laguna, and Oak Streets, has had a difficult recent history. Originally an intact residential block within a similar urban fabric, the properties on the site wre demolished in the 1960s to accommodate off/on ramps servicing the freeway that was constructed over Octavia Street. Due to structural earthquake damages and a changing tide in attitudes toward inner city freeways, the double deck structure was systematically removed. Having lain fallow for several decades, local activists cut open the gates and appropriated the formerly embargoed site for urban agriculture in 2010. However, this farm is only temporary. We will explore an alternative future for the site: one which acknowledges the violence reaped onto it by the freeway, but one which seeks to explore the possibilities latent in the site as we find today.
Design statement: The park proposal pulls inspiration from San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique city grid, symbolically bringing the streets onto the site itself in order to reflect the city blockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history as something emerging from decades of destructive and creative transportation history. The park is a testament to the power of public engagement: it was local residents who reclaimed the streets from the private automobile in the 1900s, who transformed a vacant block into a thriving community asset in the 2000s, and who will bring new life to a public space that serves the community at large.

A context analysis of zoning and walkability reveals a lack of amenity-rich recreational spaces within a 5-min walkshed. The study site also sits at the base of a steep hill, limiting access to neighborhood spaces and services for users with impaired mobility. Therefore, the park should balance many different park programs to fill siginificant activity gaps.

Publications Citywide Assessment of Parklets & Plazas: Summary of data collected for Summer 2014 Public Life Study. Panganiban, J., & Abad, R. San Francisco Planning Department: Pavement to Parks Program. 2014. Abstract San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pavement to Parks Program aims to transform parking spaces and street intersections to new and easily reversible public spaces such as parklets and plazas. These temporary spaces are typically outfitted with amenities such as tables, seating, landscaping, bicycle parking, and public art. These new spaces help to achieve heightened neighborhood interaction, enhanced pedestrian safety and activities, use of non-motorized transportation, and support for local businesses. This study evaluates the effect of parklets and plazas on street life and public response to these new types of spaces. Data collected will also help the program further understand how parklets and plazas are currently serving the needs of users who visit these spaces, and if these spaces are achieving the goals built into the initial vision and expectations for Pavement to Parks projects.

TOOLKIT
Living Alleys Market Octavia Toolkit. Winslow, D., Look, J., Kim, J.Y., Panganiban, J., Hrushowy, N., Varat, A., Chen, G. et al. San Francisco Planning Department, San Francisco Public Works & San Francisco Municipal Transportation Authority. 2014. Abstract This toolkit is a resource for community members and designers to develop and implement living alleys. The toolkit includes 20 design tools, as well as example prototypes, to give community members a range of options and inspiration for creating living alleys in the Market Octavia Plan Area, though much of this information is applicable to alleys throughout San Francisco. In addition to the design tools, constraints and opportunities are discussed so project designers and residents can understand the full breadth of the project.
