A RIVER WALK
OLENTANGY RIVER STRATEGIES Landscape architecture section autumn 2015 Instructors: Paula Meijerink | Karla Hedman Trott
Investigating into space making and movement is the major goal for this project. Experience through movement is the main point of waterfront project, it amiing at developing space making strategies through dynamic environment which lies bewteen the restored Olentangy River environment. The Olentangy River environment includes a wilder and more spontaneous vegetation and the controlled landscape enviroment of Ohio State University’s Cannon Drive.
This project is based on the idea of exploration through dynamic movement. At the mean time, creating a place for people to be invoked to explore and emerge in for a while under the fast-paced society is meaningful. So the sense of flowability through one continuos line is being put emphasis on, which is being curved to create a path way of exploring. Also adding pedestrain bridges to explore not only the lower ground space, but also the upper space can link the air movement through serious of bridges.

A HYBRID ALTERCOLOGY HETEROSIS ALTERCOLOGIES
Landscape architecture section spring 2016 Instructors: Justin S Parscher |Jacob Ross Boswell
Bringing ecology to city in new and improved forms is always a target people pursues today. So in this project, the idea of altercology is introduced to reinsert high-performing ecological hybrids into dense urban areas in order to provide marketable ecosystem services(stormwater reduction, air quality enhancement, and habitat). As breeding together two totally different ecology, in this case, one is the southeastern coastal plain riverfront&leeve bottomland forest featuring seasonal flooding and high moistureness in air, the other is great plains sand pairies featuring drought weather. Hybridizing these two ecologies has the potential to create places that are once more resilient and more suited to human needs. The ideal machine or mix of machines are inroduced to hybridize two plant communities, in this case is the siphone system and v-notch system to reduce the wetness of sand pairie ecology and block seasonal flooding of bottomland forest.

Creating a hybrid altercology stsrem requires the consideration of combine the same characteristics. As southeastern coastal plain riverfront & leeve bottom land forest and great plains sand pairies various in all aspects, the oasis system become the key to create a buffering ecology for the altercology idea, which could be suitable for proper dessication and moisture.

Contruction Diagrams
This series of phasing diagrams of section view represent the visual development through construction. By laying out the subsurface situation, the installation of the machine and soil compaction is clear. The bed rock and subsurface manipulation is essential as well.

This series of phasing diagrams of plan view represent the visual development through decades. By laying out the surface situation mannually, the transformation is to be carried out in an expected way as the outside effects mainly decided by weather situation such as preveiling wind.

AN ALTERCOLOGY POOL MICROSPAS FROM ALTERCOLOGY
Landscape architecture section spring 2016 Instructors: Justin S Parscher |Jacob Ross Boswell
From the altercology project from breeding two ecology system while working with mechanics, the question of how to make altercologies viable in the long term is a concern. By applying fuction to the current altercology system, a series of exclusive microspas for a dynamic urban clientele is an avaiable approach. As prosthetic ecologies introduced into cities to provide vigorous ecosystem services, now the added function of providing space for relaxation, recreation,a dn reconnection to nature are being taken into consideration.
By inserting spaces for microspas or swimming pools into design, the idea of allowing ecology enables the entire program to function as before while utilizing the environments made possible by altercologies. In this case, an altercology pool is established to provide a phenomenal profit-sharing opportunity for he city of columbus. The intervention in the most favorqble way to maximize the altercology's function and effect is adapted.

This master plan and model include specific representations of various plant strategies, topographic conditions, soil and bed rock conditions, seasonal water flow, and the presence of spa program and machine, which is the archimedes screw go across half of the plan in the middle. The planting aside and the only entrance by the waterwall keep the priviacy of the pool.
By showing the subsurface and surface detail, the section represents the sepecifc conditions of the project. The archimedes screw is the major machine introduced to pump the water source from the river to the higher sand pirarie, so that the sand underneath could be utilized to create a sand filter to purfiy water. Then underground system could deliver water to lower swimming pool place.

These model photos show the overall perspective view of the altercology pool program.
From the section, the different layers of slow sand filter could be better understood. As the slow sand filter is able to introudce a way to purify water by origional ecology features, the permeable wall also creating interests for people inside the pool. Another interesting factor is as archimedes screw pulling water all the way up to the higher level, the waterfall entrance is placed to show the flowability of water by glass wall.

These phasing diagrams help showing the construction developments step by step. The plant species, topographic conditions, soili and bedrock conditions (including speculated subsurface conditions), seasonal water flow, and the presence of archimedes screw are took into consideration while laying out the specific steps.

OPERATIONAL LANDSCAPES RESEARCH LANDSCAPE
Landscape architecture autumn 2015 Instructor: Kristine Cheramie| Karla Hedman Trott
This project aiming at researching a typical landscape type with ediable vegetation such as potato, tomato and orange to collect enough infomation of how a vegetable could come to a full growth in life circle. The conditions of land form and weather are also main factor to influence the production of vegetable.
The main focus of project is on idaho potatoes. Idaho is one of the most famous state producing potato products. So the operational landscape puts emphasis on the soil it grow with and the geometric conditions provided by the moutaion surrounded. The weather is another key to create seasonal perfect situation with plenty of mountain-fed irrigatio and rich volcanic soil, producing the unique texture, taste and dependable performance that keep the idaho potato famous and delicious.

The working diagrams put emphasis on two essiential moment of idaho potato, one is the irrigation time, the other is the collection time.

OTHER WORKS
ILLUSTRATOR+MODEL MAKING
The atlas program is completed only by illustrator. As it is a project to be conssensed by daily life, an entire sketch book is used up to collect information of life. Also, the data is visualized enventually to show the anaylsis of daily life.
The models are being made by toothpicks from the project Spliced Accumulated Wood. As no other materials could be utilized but wood to make model representing landforms. By glueing the toothpicks piece by piece to a balloon and adding thousands of toothpicks on the top, then break the balloon, the underneath shape of circle is formed. Afterall, the idea of sand dune as landscape is formed as each toothpick is like a single sand. Although one sand is always being ignored, huge amount of sand could form dangerous landscape. Each toothpick shows how the wind influcence the landform randomly.
