I was one of the main designers, working on West Villages master plan from early stages including participating in a charrette. As the main designer, I assisted in developing the plan; designing streets; producing maps, diagrams, architectural drawings, renderings, models and section drawings. West Villages is a master planned community located in Sarasota County, Florida, south of Route 41. West villages consists of several neighborhood villages. The following master plan is the proposed future Town Center of the West Villages. This project Initiated with a design charrette to generate goals and design ideas for the future Town Center. During the charrette, three design ideas were proposed. The following master plan is refined and shaped based on those proposed ideas.

ET O

This master plan is envisioned as a vibrant mixed use Town Center that includes a broad mix of retail, commercial, hotel, recreational, office and residential uses. There is a purposeful transition in intensity from north to south and east to west. The transition is intended to ensure compatibility with the existing village of Islandwalk, to the west, as well as future development to the south and southeast. A simple Trail Network was also developed in order to demonstrate the hierarchy and potential location of nonvehicular access through Village D. Using the wetlands, ponds and natural features of the land as a guide to;

Existing Pond

• Provide non-motorized access to future villages to the south • Provide opportunities to discover and explore, stroll and commute and play or rest XW

Linear Jet Fountain A series of “pop jets” at grade provide an opportunity to encourage active play at the water’s edge. The location permits central activity, but does not conflict with shopping dining and other activities – making the Lawn area a place for all.

Kiosk Court and Outfitter A temporary opportunity to draw people to the water in early phases, the Court is envisioned to showcase an informal but complete built condition at the Lakefront. An Outfitter for rental equipment – bikes, paddle boards, kayaks – is outfitted with a floating dock, while the other kiosks provide simple structures for a variety of food and beverage tenants. Over time, this site could be home to a more permanent lakeside building. A large shade structure provides climate control around the Court to provide outdoor comfort for diners.

Live Oak Playground With replanted live oak trees, an instant shady backdrop provides a naturalistic setting for a playspace for kids and adults to share time together with views to the lake.

The Lake Edge The Lake Edge has been designed to provide different settings along the Lake to promote interactivity – whether during an event or an evening stroll or bike. The edge steps to the water to provide uninterrupted views from the Lawn itself, and from neighboring restaurants and cafes and provides a sophisticated urban solution that marries well with the natural conditions of the water and the land.

MASTERPLAN

TOWN CENTER Great Lawn The Great Lawn is a simple and large gathering space at the heart of the Town Center â&#x20AC;&#x201C; able to accommodate very large and multi-faceted events for the entire community and able to be useful and welcoming throughout the day.

Hall A 4,000 SF building that provides multiple functions for residents and visitors alike. Its simple plan and its important axial location at the end of the Great Lawn reflect its important as a civic structure. Its flexible housing permits it to be a great setting for small and large events, meetings, even weddings. Its garden side includes a monumental heritage tree.

Hotel aligned on the angled street provides desired views for rooms on both sides.

Waterfront Restaurant

A 6,000 SF permanent food and beverage establishment that enjoys incredible sunset views. The location also leverages the proximity to the future hotel and the Hall. With easy visual access to the lakefront, the Waterfront Restaurant provides a singular dining experience in the Town Center.

WATERFRONT EDGE CONDITIONS

R E C O M M E N DAT I O N S : The combination of the hard, activated waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edge with the softer, more natural lakefront edge creates a daily, layered experience for Town Center patrons and residents. The multi-use path along the lake edge will be delineated, yet integrated into the larger pedestrian plaza.

The hard edge within the activity center and along the plaza will step down to the water with deep seating steps.

The heart of the Town Center will engage the Lakefront along a hard edge, where public access is adjacent the water surface.

Outside the primary activity area, the lakefront transitions into a softer, more natural lakefront edge. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible this transition could occur beneath an elevated boardwalk, if needed ensure continued connectivity through wetlands.

SYNTHESIS AT THE BANKS

REGIONAL CULTU

Urban Land Institute Hines National Competition Riverfront Development Project Location: Cincinnati, OH Team Work | Spring 2019 Synthesis at The Banks is a strategy that combines Cincinnati’s existing for culture with its vibrant riverfront, creating an active and walkable urban neighborhood. Cincinnati’s historic identity as the Midwest’s gateway to the north has allowed it to absorb countless cultures that have blended into a unique synergy. Synthesis captures the rich culture, creativity, and lifestyle that already exist in the city and provides an opportunity to experience it amidst the backdrop of Cincinnati’s refined riverfront and regal skyline. The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center is another such cultural asset, resting on the city’s doorstep at the base of the historic Roebling Suspension Bridge. Synthesis builds off of this anchor institution, creating a Cultural Corridor along Freedom Way that offers a variety of ways to experience the unique Cincinnati culture. The Queen of the West Culture Center is home to the renown Cincinnati Ballet as well as local professional African dance company Bi-Okoto and LGBTQ youth choir Diverse City. Mosaic Ethnic Food Hall is also a place to actively participate in a variety of cultural culinary traditions. Part of what keeps the cultural identity of Cincinnati alive and well is the creativity produced by the city’s talent pool. Cincinnati is home to nine Fortune 500 companies and is one of the fastest growing economies in the Midwest. Synthesis paves the way for increased growth by providing a variety of innovative business and educational facilities. Ensemble Tower contains class A office space in the heart of the Cultural Corridor and is in the same block as the Alliance Center which is an educational annex for local universities to make classes easily available to downtown professionals. The Fort West and The Fort East are two co-working hubs built across Fort Washington Way that frame Freedom Park which also extends across the sunken freeway, creating a more seamless transition between the CBD and the riverfront. This vibrant, collaborative environment creates an ecosystem for an urban lifestyle that is punctuated by pockets of retail that support permanent residents and visitors. Cincinnati’s existing Culture, Creativity, and Lifetstyle are what form the foundation of Synthesis and help to establish it as a vibrant riverfront community that integrates seamlessly with the urban core. 33

CONNECTING TRIANGLE TRAIL TO LOCKLAND’S BUSINESS DISTRICT: A NEW STREETSCAPE DESIGN FOR WEST WYOMING AVE & MILL ST Project Location: Lockland, OH Spring 2019 This project proposes a new streetscape design for Lockland’s business district. Lockland is a village in Hamilton County, OH. Currently, The business district has a high store front vacancy rate. Within the 20 vacant storefronts that Mill & Dunn district contains there are 70,037 square feet of available commercial space. Designing a new streetscape based on the complete street initiatives for this district and connecting proposed triangle trail (a proposed regional trail) to it will help activate this business district. Connecting the proposed trail from West Wyoming avenue to Mill street can increase walkability and sense of place. It will also attract people outside of Lockland into the area and help businesses and retailers to thrive over time. As a result of economic growth, property values would also increase.

I N N O VAT I O N I S C O N N E C T E D ( I N N O V AT I O N C O R R I D O R P L A N ) Planning Workshop Project Location: Cincinnati, OH Fall 2018

The Uptown Innovation Corridor is comprised of six Cincinnati neighborhoods including Clifton, CUF, Corryville, Avondale, Walnut Hills, and Mt Auburn. The Uptown Consortium represents the larger institutes located in the corridor including Children’s Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, UC Health, TriHealth, Inc., and the University of Cincinnati. The objective of this studio is to prepare an innovation corridor plan for MLK street for Uptown Cincinnati. For as far as the world’s history goes back, almost every conflict can be traced to the disconnection of people, places, and ideas. Just as our unique body parts work together to serve a unique purpose to sustain life in our bodies and to help us operate to our optimum abilities, /thriving communities. The foundational elements of the Uptown Corridor have the potential to provide the components needed to connect people together and to promote an environment that is innovative and connected.

Vision This Uptown Corridor site plan envisions a sustainable and pioneering corridor that is connected through pedestrian oriented, public transportation, green infrastructure and high performance mixed-used spaces. Central to this vision are three interrelated goals: to connect people, to connect places, to connect ideas. Through these connections innovation will surge throughout the corridor.

•

People

GOAL: Connect people to foster innovation, opportunity and community. •

Develop mixed-use and affordable residential, commercial and third spaces.

•

Provide inter-institutional shuttle buses free for all riders within the corridor.

•

Create integrative and efficient transportation solutions to connect the corridor to the rest of the city, the region and the world.

•

GOAL: Connect places through green infrastructure and transportation systems for the 21st century in order to foster both human and environmental health. •

Increase green areas along walkaways, parks, and open spaces to support human and environmental health and to foster innovative thinking.

•

Places

Decrease impervious surfaces and heat island effects, while increasing carbon capture through building materials and the design of both public and private spaces.

•

Foster pedestrian friendly environments and strengthen public transportation and bicycling systems, reducing cars and increasing shared spaces.

•

GOAL: Connect ideas through vibrant, dense and mixed spaces. •

Remove barriers between neighborhoods and institutions.

•

Create opportunities for both skilled and unskilled jobs, and increase accessibility to those jobs through multi-modal transportation networks.

Ideas

•

De-silo institutions from one another through shared, programmed and mixed-use spaces.

CONCEPT MAP

CONCEPT MAP From the previously mentioned objectives, the site plan lays out a series of actions and specific redevelopment project that when taken as a whole connect people, places and ideas. These interrelated objectives are divided into three categories: Connectivity, green infrastructure and redevelopment hubs (Innovation and Housing).

DESIGN THE HUB The entire Uptown Corridor is connected, and the Eastern Transportation Hub is the focal point of those connections. Defined roughly by I-71 to the

2.75 Million Sq

East, Harvey Avenue to the West, Ridgeway Ave to the North and University

for Institutional, Medical T

Ave. to the South, the Hub will be the center of innovation in the future of the

search and office

Uptown Corridor. Not only will the activities taking place throughout the Hub be cross-pollinated for innovation by the proximity and intensity of ideas and people, the physical structures and their integration into the natural environment will be an innovative model for sustainable urban futures. In this plan, new paths, roads, and entire infrastructure have been designed; high-functioning buildings take the place of old, derelict ones, and new developments are constructed on empty lands. Plazas and parks provide comfortable open spaces for people of all backgrounds. Green infrastructure systems undergird the entire Hub as the basis for resiliency. The goal for land use within the Hub is to ensure that the diverse institutions and neighborhoods of the Uptown Corridor flow together in a coherent way that creates a distinct character and sense of place. Such a vision calls for dense and vibrant mixed uses that will encourage social and professional de-siloing and interaction across disciplines. Mixed uses will also spur direct economic growth and tax base through retail and food service. A first step to achieve this vision is enacting a new zoning overlay for the Hub.

THE HUB

GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE HUB Green open spaces create a healthy environmental balance between human activities and natural systems. Some solutions, such as parks with dense tree canopies will be readily apparent to the residents and visitors of the future Hub. Other solutions, such as underground water catchment, might at first be invisible, but will have equally as significant impacts on the health of the Hub and the surrounding regions. All new streets, plazas spaces, and shared bike and pedestrian paths will be surfaced in previous pavers that allow water to infiltrate into the soils below, or in some cases into specifically design water catchment systems like those installed a t the Cincinnati Zoo. Rain gardens will help absorb water from hardscaped

surfaces

garages and rooftops.

HOUSING IN THE HUB The Hub will comprise a variety of housing choices from affordable town-homes and condominiums to apartments and hotels. The features of the Hub will appeal to those who enjoy a convenient lifestyle because with mixed uses on every block daily needs will be accessible. How satisfying would it be to live in a community that is walkable and close to transportation, work, and recreation.

PUBLIC SPACE IN THE HUB

Central to public spaces in the Hub is the greenway and the transit hub plaza, where green infrastructure, transportation and mixed uses come together. With complete streets prioritizing pedestrians, cyclists and public transportation over private vehicles, the public space of the greenway flows into the shared spaces of the streets.

Providing multiple modes of transportation within the entire Corridor is a key component for transforming the Uptown corridor. The Hub is where all of those modes of transportation come together. This transportation network consists of light rail, streetcar, corridor-focused shuttle buses, citywide metro buses, cars, and expanded infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists. The success of the Hub depends on convenient, affordable, reliable, and safe transportation. These are lofty goals. Proper phasing and transparent visioning is key to developing the community support necessary for such significant investments.

TRANSPORTATION IN THE HUB

COMPLETE STREETS IN THE HUB The future Reading Road as a rendered street section shows pedestrian oriented buildings, safe bike paths, public transit and ecological features.

The rendered street section of the Greenway through the Hub, shows the priority given to pedestrians and cyclists in shared spaces to spur innovative collaborations outside of institutional and structural boxes.

REAL ESTATE As the project currently stands, ownership of Converge Cincy will remain privately held by a single, privately owned development/management team. This means that the team will not only take on all development risks/cost, but once finished, that same group will manage the property. Their responsibilities include: ● Development of the property - completed in 2 phases ● Marketing/brand building of the property ● Identifying tenants and signing leases for residential, parking, retail, and office ● Maintenance of the property (landscaping, electrical, plumbing, snow removal, etc.) ● Staffing needs ● Sales of parking garage spaces when open to the public during special events held nearby ● All other “day to day” duties Converge Cincy is planned to be developed and held for a 15 year period. With the development taking place across 2 phases, the equity required is broken down as such: Phase 1: Residential building/retail/underground parking - Taking place in year 1 construction costs of roughly $50.4M Phase 2: Mixed use building (residential/parking/retail/office) combined with the grocery and parking - Taking place in year 3 - construction costs of roughly $19.5M

TRAIL DEVELOPMENT PHYSICAL PLANNING ANALYSIS Project Location: Colerain Township, OH Spring 2018 The objective of this analysis is to determine whether the suggested trail route by Colerain Township is feasible or not based on the soil, slope, topographic and surficial hydrology analysis. The selected area is located between Winton Woods and the Great Miami River. Within the areas boundary there are single family homes to the east and north, Triple Creek park to the south, Rumpke landfill to the west, undeveloped land in the center. As result, the analysis determined the proposed trail location by Colerain Township is not in the ideal. Therefore, an alternative route for the trail is suggested, which accounts for soil typology, slope and hydrology. The software used for the analysis was GIS. 1x1 square miles

COLERAIN TOWNSHIP HAMILTON COUNTY

TOPOGRAPHIC AND SURFICIAL HYDROLOGY ANALYSIS

TOPOGRAPHIC AND SURFICIAL HYDROLOGY ANALYSIS: The selected area is bowl shaped, the elevation of the rim of the bowl is between 841 and 920 feet, compared to the center of the bowl, which is between 660 and 700 feet. The elevation effects surficial hydrology because water runs off of higher elevation and then collects in the lower elevation area. The reason topography and surface water patterns are important when determining suitable develop is because of the impacts to runoff and water quality. SLOPE ANALYSIS: The perimeter of the bowl has a slope between 5 - 10% whereas the grade in the center of the bowl significantly steeper between 25 - 30%. The higher elevation to the west and east of the bowl are severe enough to block sunlight and create a microclimate in the center of the bowl, as pictured in the solar aspect diagram. The elevation of the bowl shades the majority of the site, which makes it more difficult for water to evaporate and therefore wetter, thus a moist and cooler microclimate compared to the ridgetops. Significantly, the selected site has two predominant slopes: steep slope (37% of overall land area) and level slope (45% of overall land area). The majority of the level slope is already developed, but undeveloped areas with a slope between 5-10% would be ideal for housing, playgrounds, lawns, parking lots, sidewalks, streets and roads. Ideally the steep slopes would be left undeveloped as a buffer for the stream and to stabilize the hillside.

S L O P E A N A LY S I S

SOIL TYPE ANALYSIS

The Natural Resource Conservation Soil Survey was utilized to identify the soil types in the selected area, as well as each soil types suitability for development. The selected area encompasses a wide variety of soil types. The soil types along the path of the proposed trail are included below: Pn: Patton silty clay loam - Deep, poorly drained, moderately permeable, somewhat limited to trail development RpB2: Rossmoyne silt loam - Very limited for trail construction, somewhat limited to trail development RtB: Rossmoyne-Urban land complex - Deep, moderately well drained, somewhat limited to trail development EcD: Eden silty clay loam - Moderately deep, well drained, slowly permeable soils on hillsides, very limited for trail development SwC2: Switzerland silt loam - Deep, well drained, somewhat limited for trail development

SOIL SUITABILITY (40%)

SLOPE SUITABILITY (40%)

HYDROLOGY SUITABILITY (20%)

The rankings of “highly desirable,” “medium desirability” and “highly undesirable” based on the designations in the soil survey were assigned. 40% of the soil was highly desirable for paved trail development, while another 40% was highly undesirable and the remaining 20% has medium desirability. The undesirable soil is highly impermeable and stays wet.

Based on the National Parks Service Trail Construction and Design Standards, the maximum slope for an asphalt or concrete trial is 15%, whereas, for natural surface trails the maximum is 30% slope. The highest slope in the area was 30% therefore the area is only conducive to natural surface trails.

For surficial hydrology analysis, any area with a body of water or riparian zone was categorized as Undesirable, whereas any land area above water level was categorized as Desirable because it is not ideal to build a trail in a waterway.

COMPOSITE MAP

In order to create composite map, soil composition and slope were given the weight of 40%, due to both features significant impact on the development and surface hydrology was given the weight of 20%. Then all three raster images using the assigned weight were overlaid to create a composite suitability map.

Based to the U.S. National Park Service trail standards, in terms of slope, the location is suitable for natural trail development, although grading and leveling will be necessary in some locations. Trail design should account for gentle changes in grade to ensure a user can gently traverse a hilly area. As result, it is highly recommended that if Colerain Township proceeds that they consider natural surface trails as oppose to paved trails due to slope requirements and the lessened impact on runoff and landslides. One consideration not studied in this analysis is the proximity of the trail to residential development. The alternative trail does come close to existing residential areas.

DEFINING PRINCIPLES OF A CHILD-FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD BASED ON CHILDREN’S PERCEPTION UNDERGRADUATE THESIS Project Location: Imam Zadeh Hasan Neighborhood, Tehran, Iran Fall 2016 Abstract, Gradually, with the development of cities, more attentions are taking to children, because the number of children in the world is increasing and also researchers and scientists agree on the fact that every person has an important role in his/her community and the progress of societies is directly related to the ability and creativity of individuals. Therefore, it can be said that children are one of the most important social groups in cities, because the formation of personality, intelligence and creativity is formed and shaped in childhood. In my opinion “every child is an artist; the important issue is to remain an artist”. Hence, urban spaces, especially neighborhoods, must be designed and planned by considering children’s perception in order to meet children’s demands. Therefore, the aim of this study is to define principles of child-friendly neighborhood based on children’s perception, that through identification of indicators, assessment of parameters and children’s perception and their basic needs in a neighborhood have been investigated. The case study is Imam Zadeh Hasan Neighborhood, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Tehran, located in district 17 of Tehran, which has a lot of issues and not a child-friendly neighborhood. The methodology used for this study is descriptive and analytical and is also based on literature review, and questionnaires. The questionnaires have been distributed and completed in two schools among 160 children (boy and girl) and then, the data has been analyzed by SPSS software. As the result, the criteria and factors of child-friendly neighborhood based on children’s perception and by considering their demands were defined. The result has been written in terms of strategies, policies, action plans, the guidelines of neighborhood designing and planning based on children’s perception.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK The conceptual framework is written based on the literature review and children’s perception studies:

Safety, as a normative quality and a criterion in neighborhood spaces responsive to the children’s demands.

Security, as a criterion in neighborhood spaces responsive to the children security.

Serenity and comfort, as normative qualities in neighborhood spaces responsive to the children’s demands.

Designing neighborhood spaces as a context in order to create children’s creativity. Designing neighborhood spaces as a context in order to encourage interactions and participations among children. Designing neighborhood spaces as a context in order to create children’s positive sense of self.

Designing neighborhood spaces as a context in order to provide services based on children’s needs. 77

There are attractive commercial buildings from children’s point of view , such as multiple supermarkets, shops and restaurants on Amin al-Mulk street. 3. The parents with their children visit the shrine of Imam Zadeh Hasan and get together especially on Thursdays 4. There are some local alleys which are leading to provide children’s interaction in neighborhood.

1. The lack of benches for kids and residents inside the neighborhood (Especially on Mehman Navazan St). 2. The lack of traffic signals and signs at intersection of streets close to the school on Mehman Navazan st. 3. The lack of security equipment to prevent vehicles into pedestrians (Especially for motorcycles). 4. Demolished walls around the schools. 5. Demolished buildings and vacant stores in the southern part of the neighborhood. 7. Environmental contamination and surface water runoff.

VISION

Neighborhood spaces are designed in a way that the children have a sense of belonging to their neighborhood. The pedestrians, walls and facades of the buildings are designed according to the children's perception and their favorite materials. The routes to school are safe and secure to prevent any accidents of vehicles with children. In this area urban furniture, equipment and facilities such as drinking fountains, benches, garbage cans, etc., are designed based on the children’s needs. In order to create comfort and serenity for children, all neighborhood routes and local alleys are set based on two elements: water and vegetation. Children in this neighborhood have the appropriate access to local parks and public spaces. The neighborhood spaces are designed as a context to create children’s creativity. In order to create children’s interactions and their participations, they can paint in certain parts of the local parks and on the school’s walls. This neighborhood is providing a space to meet children's demands for their proper growth. 78
