Blurring The Edges A New Typology For Urban Buffers Lake Ontario, the Great Lakes, speculative futures M.LA. II / Spring 2016 Studio 4
This project explores and questions current urban infrastructure to the degradation of fish migration patterns. The convenience and necessity of these infrastructures are not ignored but rather, how can we co-exists and perhaps help enhance struggling ecosystems. While investigating the connection between the water and human communities, buffers are often created to help decrease the impact of the added community; these buffers often becomes areas of wooded habitat that creates a division between the water and the community. From the large scale, this project looks at the edges of where these two meet and proposes opportunities for a buffer that could stitch the two together and work against the division; while we zoom in to one particular site, the idea of creating a “nurturing buffer� for fish migrating to spawn is explored in detail.

Fish Migration Obsticles and Obstructions Urban infrastructure such as culverts, hydraulic dams and water intake stations changes the depth, speed and temperature of the surrounding water. Engineered structures like fish ladders are created to help fish migrate, but what do these structures divide and how do they address the surrounding landscape?
How can they co-exist?

Fish Diversity in Lake Ontario While tracking the species and numbers of fish landings from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) reports from 1971-2013, there has been a drastic decrease of fish diversity being caught in Lake Ontario.
M.LA SPRING 2016
Fishes of Lake Ontario + Their Habitats Out of the six habitats, sandy shoals had the most species diversity and was taken into further consideration for the site design.

City to Water Connections; St. Catharines, ON The current practice of creating buffers between communities and the water varies in shapes and forms but the main commonality of it is that they all act as a division between communities to the water. How can we utilize buffers as something other than a division, but rather could buffers start to become an agent for stitching communities to the water?

Martindale Pond, St.Catharines, ON The intervention of retaining walls along the eastern edge of Martindale Pond. The orientation of the retaining walls creates and disperses water currents in different ways; areas where two retaining walls are close together creates a more channelized water current, whereas areas where two retaining walls are further apart would create a more calming current. The difference of water speed is favored for different species of fish. This also creates more cut and sediment deposition to happen. Areas of deposition poses favourable sandy shoal habitats as it would be less disturbed and would continue to build up over time.

Reintroducing Old Ecologies The introduction of the islands also allowed for opportunities to incorporate upland, marshland and mudflat habitats where it provides shelter (marshland) and food (mudflats as crayfish habitats) for the fish. A switch back trail is designed to slow runoff from neighboring communities, allowing the runoff an opportunity to infiltrate the permeable ground before hitting the pond.
20
M.LA SPRING 2016
Blurring the Edge The retaining walls also acts as foundations for a path to form on top, allowing human interaction and creating a better connection between the two sides of the pond. This path is at its widest at 85’ in certain moments and so cut outs were introduced to reduce surface area, allowing further interaction to these spawning habitats and potentially series of pools while spawning is not occurring. Certain moments along the path, the retaining walls are switched out for dredged islands to allow trees/windbreakers to populate the path.

Insectuary
Revitalizing the Priarie Group project / Joie Chan, Heather Scott, Pearl Yip B.Enviro. Design / Fall 2013 Studio 3
Insectuary invites the insects back into the spotlight by providing them with much needed habitat, which has become increasingly scarce due to agricultural practices and urban development. Through the introduction of wildflowers, forbs, shrubs, trees, and landforms, multiple conditions are created to promote insect presence in the area. The Aquaseum (Kunsthaus Bregenz, Peter Zumthor) and the Insectuary together provides a chance for visitors to learn through the experience and an opportunity to increase ecological literacy by providing an environment for creating and nurturing and appreciation for the natural environment.

Insectuary The site chosen for this project is along the south side of the Rat River and a connecting small creek. Due to the meandering curves of the river, is less desirable for agriculture as it is more difficult to plough.

Pathway to the Aquaseum The constructed pathway leads the visitors to the pavilion, constructed with 4� x 12� concrete slab, the pathway would be elevated above the wildflower field. Areas of rest will appear within the pathway as well, for visitors to enjoy the view of the rural landscape.
Parking Pollination The Parking orchard adds color to the site and while also attracting polllinators. The space gives a sense of enclosure before you walk out to the open fields.

Garden of Plains Construction
Workshop 4 Assignment, construction details M.LA. II / Spring 2016
The Garden of Plains is an excercise that explores detail design through sections. The first exercise is a section that looked at water management, constructing details that would associate with the type of functions that was seeked. The second section plays with a planting design, where a combination of ruderal plants and intentional plantings co-exists. Where the border of the two meets and where the seperation is blurred. The second section evolved from the first section as the planting design developes.

A Temporary Zoo
Muskingum Power Plant Post-Industrial Landscapes M.LA. II / Fall 2015 Studio 3
The Temporary Zoo seeks to generate habitats created by utilizing existing infrastructures and technologies. These habitats aids rehabilitation of ex-captive animals (Zoo, Circus, and Personal Pet), exotic and native. The Temporary Zoo would allow rehabilitating animals to rehabilitate and return back into the wild and therefore would vary in species and varieties, depending on the current number of animal refugees in need of a home. Not to mention the main intentions of reusing old technologies on site to create new experiences through an ever changing landscape; experiencing the landscape when the animals are present or absent. By reusing and refabricating some of the existing infrastructure on site, I wanted to utilize it to create a different “Zoo� experience where visitors are able to visit the site through series of lookout points, cable cars and observing the animals through minimal interaction.

An Edge Proposal The transition and edges of each individual habitat with the public space is sorted through the use of topography. Creating sharp 15’ drops as a separation between Carnivores and Herbivores or using water and the forest as a physical and visual barrier. The experience of the visitors and animals are separated through distance and topography, where in some areas you can be 15’ directly above a habitat, or going up a slope at a distance where your view of a habitat would slowly open as you ascend the slope at a distance

A Dynamic Upland to Lowland Landscape The combination of a system of weirs and the Rain Maker would allow a calculated release of water into each habitats, being able to time when each or one specific habitat would fill up or left dried. This would allow a calculated events of succession in the Marsh and Swampland, where occasional series of flash flood is needed in order for these habitats to grow and develop. This would also allow a contracting or expanding Upland (and aquatic) habitats, allowing, different species of animals to take place at different times, changing the landscape to better suit the habitats that these animals would need.
Post Industrial Marshland Percipitation Rate - Medium (2’-3’ depth of standing water)
This is an open and emergent marshland. The maintenance of the marsh is aided by the mechanics of the site. The series of weirs controls the amount of water that passes through. This will allow for the event of a crontrolled flash flood. The flood than becomes the disturbance that allows a secondary succession to occur within the created marshland.

Post-Industrial Nature; Introducing New Biotopes The introduction of a Mid-Western Alvar Savanna Woodland in the upper fly ash pond and the Thin and Rocky soil Forest (Oaks and Maples) are takes advantage of the imposed capping structure, which causes thin soils in areas that are capped with fly ash and a slightly thicker soil profile in the structures that creates the cap.
Post Industrial Forest Percipitation Rate - High (3’ - 4’ of standing water)
