Floating Pools
Ecology + Simple Machine + Spa The edge of the pool is occupiable. It is filled partially with air to that the pool floats and rises with the level of the river.
Professor(s): Jake Boswell, Justin Parscher Duration: 1 Semester Completion Date: May 2016
This project was developed over the course of 4 phases. The Dirty river water is filtered through various permable layers in the pools lining
projects goal was to develop a personal lexicon of ecological processes with an understanding of how to encorporate these systems into a final design. By weaving together ecology, passive systems, and program, the project sought to examine how landscape functions as a system of interconnected pieces emphasizing an integration of performance and aesthetics.
A loose system is attatched to the pools lining in order to allow the pool to fluctuate with the river water

Ecology + Simple Machine Phase two combines two randomly selected ecologies into an unknown contextual area by incorporating one or more simple machines.
BELOW: Rocky mountain forrest buttes jut out into the marshy area to incorporate the two ecologies and experiment with the riparian edge between the two.
The herons fountain pumps water up into deep, great lakes marsh “pods� to show vegetative variation within an ecology. When the herons fountain stops, a drinking bird powers a gear system which refills the herons fountain, starting the process over from the beginning.

Ecology + Simple Machine + Spa
CONTEXT
Phase three was a combination of the previous two ecologies into a specific site in columbus to create a relaxing spa for elite columbus clientele. By choosing a site next to a river with a lot of elevation change it was easy to achieve the balance between the butte and marsh ecology.
Research into the history and reimagining of floating pools led to an incoporation of this updated technology into the project.

Accumulation + Wood Professor(s): Paula Meijerink, Karla Trott Duration: 1 Month Completion Date: September 2015
This new project continues the investigation into space making and movement, focusing on three dimensional imagination and projection through model making. Spatial manipulation allowed for develop in three dimensional aptitudes related to movement through space while addressing topographical manipulation/grading, spatial sequencing, landscape transformation, space organization and orchestration of movement/path making. This project follows a process of iterative moves which transform the project according to a set of actions, each building upon the previous while ultimately working towards a spatial complex in later phases. The model has to evoke a designed landscape; an intentionally shaped ground; by arranging the wood members in such a way that a constructed or intentionally formed ground is produced and the intention legible.
11
Toothpicks were selected due to their allowance of subtle manipulation in order to produce great variation. Manipulation of the height of the toothpicks creates an undulating ground plane.
Toothpicks To develop a physical model evoking “ground�. The model was not supposed to represent a real existing landscape (ground), rather it was supposed to elicit a sense of landscape. The model had to be designed in such a way that it showed we had intentionally shaped it and arranged the wood members so that a constructed formed ground is legible. 12
13
Pieces + Sectional Relationships The next phase sought to develop and transform the first model by introducing access, program, and vegetation to further establish a richness in our three dementional environment. The first model was the base of our new iteration, the template to interpret into a real physical landscape. The original model still had to remain legible in our final model.
14
A series of maquettes experimenting with materiality, dictated the use of a layered wood with a series of small incisions on the top in order to mimic the small components used in the first project. A labyrinth-inspired path created access throughout the space as well as a large gathering space in the center. As one moves through the space, they are woven in and out of a tall forrest. This creates a contrast between a dark, dense space and a light, open space, enhancing the experience of the guest.

Given a rendering of a constructed snow fence, a set of construction decouments were created. These documents are an interpretation of what the correct materials, sizes, dimensions should be. Research had to be conducted about foundation techniques, joints, materials, and graphic conventions.

Dimensions were decided by expirimenting with different angle arrangements in AutoCad. Cedar was decided on because the snow fence was going to be constructed near sand and salt water, which cedar resists quite well.

River + Program Professor(s): Paula Miejerink, Karla Trott Duration: 6 Weeks Completion Date: December 2015
This final project continues the investigation into space making and movement. The project site is a dynamic environment which lies between the recently restored Olentangy River environment which includes a wilder and more spontaneous vegetation and the controlled landscape environment of OSU’s Cannon Drive. The site includes topography, flood zones, public access, flora and fauna.
25
The design strategy focuses on program structured by a subtrative and additive grid in order to bring the river into the site and the people out to the river.
The project site is situated in an unused and underutilized space on Ohio State’s West Campus.
26
A grove of Ginkgo bilobas brings a feeling of untamed forrest to the site while also maintaining order and linear views to the river. A gridded seating area adds volumetric interest as well as a place for people to relax. Gracious ramps allow for easy site access.

Construction + Ecology Professor(s): Karla Trott, Ethan McGory, Jason Kentner Duration: 4 weeks Completion Date: May 2016
The first phase of this project was a development of a previous section cut; achieving a detailed construction section that combines the aims of both design and technical performance. After many lectures discussing the term ruderal and ecological succession in general, professors proposed a new phase was proposed. This next step involved picking a location around the midwest and studying its ruderal species. Students were then expected to incorporate this ecology into the previous construction section, making changes as neccesary.

Agriculture + Graphics Professor(s): Kristi Cheramie, Karla Trott Duration: 4 Weeks Completion Date: May 2016
This project was an exercize enhancing the ability to communicate processes graphically. A specific crop was selected from a list and researched for the various operations that were required to be able to efficiently produce the crop in large quantities. Things such as pruning, pesticides, soil, harvesting techniques, and machinery.

Grading, storm water management, and practical planting were all topics that had to be considered in this project. Students were given a realistic check list from a client who had purchased a piece of land and wanted to put a particular house on that land. One of the clients was handicapped and ADA accessability had to be met around the house. As well as additional wishes like a lap pool, entertaining areas, paths, and gardens.

below. Integration of architecture and landscape was a key focus of this design. The pool has an infinity edge to further enhance the integration of nature by creating an ambiguous edge between the outside and inside of the pool, much like that of the house that has a blending of outside and inside. Permeable concrete, a rain garden near the entrance of the house, and an inaccesable roof garden efficiently manage storm water, whiel also adding visual appeal. 43
