DESIGN AND SPACE: EXPLORE THE LANDSCAPE MEDIA: LANDFORM, WATER, PLANT ,& STRUCTURE Model Design Studio Feb 01 - Oct 25, 2013 Instructor: Prof. Joseph Volpe Individual Work
The Structure model is one of five models that explore the landscape media - landform, water, plants, and structure - in professor Volpe’s design studio at UMass. The site is open, friendly context, and supports the client’s required gathering nodes that links “ Walk for a Walk Sake” in the garden place. The circle form of the symmetric design links gathering spaces that connects to all four sides and the friendly context. Repeating patterns of archs, benches and tranluscent walls define the gathering places and the surrounding corridor. People can playfully, enter, move, and come to rest in the garden structure.

CAMPUS DESIGN: STORMWATER MANAGEMENT DESIGN Campus Design Studio UMass Campus, Amherst, MA. Jan 20 - Mar 15, 2014 Instructor: Lecture Sarah La Cour Individual Work In this studio, students are request to use Green Infrastructures and Sustainable Stormwater Management measures to design our campus and make it healthier. Student can pick specific site and then develop their our design base on the site condition. The site I pick is Northeast Residential Area, located at the northeast part of the UMass Amherst Campus. This area is next to the Orchard Hill and Graduate Research Center.
ISSUES There are several rainwater issues going on here. Because it's close to Hill, huge amount of rainwater pour down to this site. Secondly, slopes here are steep, so site cannot hold rainwater quite well.

SHELTER+ FROM WASTE TO TREASURE: BIODEGRADABLE LANDSCAPE COMMUNITY Residential Community Design Studio Amherst, MA. Sep 03 - Oct 15, 2014 Instructor: Lecture Racheal Loeffler Individual Work The site is located in South Amherst and close to Hampshire College. It has very important ecological value because on the northeast of the site there is a Plumbrook Conservation Area and on the south of the site there is a Mount Holyoke Range State Park. It’s located in the key point which could connect to both nature conservation areas, and stream and wetland area passing across this area. Thus, Many species of wildlife live in or cross over this site. On one hand, this design preserve its existing ecological value and keep its existing green corridor for wildlife. On the other hand, design target is to build a environmental-friendly and well-function community. Design target: Ecological-friendly community: -Preserve existing wetland -maximize green corridor for wildlife -Biodiversity Sustainable community: -Grey water treatment system -Stormwater treatment system -Kitchen waste treatment system Recreation Community: -Elevated walking path -Athletic Facility -Outdoor& indoor Market -Community center

Biodegradable Firstly, each person will generate lots of garbage every day, including kitchen waste, bottles, papers, etc. What if we collect part of this garbage and let them self-digested. Then after few months, it will become fertile compost. These fertilizers are treasure which could help plants or vegetables growing faster and stronger. Secondly, storm water and grey water are waste as well. After using series rain gardens and bioswales to infiltrate storm water, it will be clean again and could replenish groundwater. Or be introduced to our watershed. Therefore, they become treasures after treatment.
