Site Design: Birdland

My third semester planning studio focused on accessibility in planning. While finding a way to properly use a space for housing of sightless and visually impaired peoples I explored the idea of using a portion of a public park that is land owned by the client but being leased to the local government in North College Hill. My goal was to design a housing development that brought members of this community into this park while providing necessary amenities for the visually impaired people.

I explored the idea that a healthy community behaves in a lot of ways like a jazz combo, each entity adopts a role; the rhythm, the roll, the melody and so on; all while the people keep the tempo. Different stakeholders in a community may fill a role but it is all in service of the people. When designing a space, making it as usable as possible with the smallest impact on nature and with the maximum equality for a community is my primary goal.

Camp Washington Cincinnati
Our studio was guided by the Cincinnati urban growth firm Build With Yard to take on their method focusing on underutilized lots in communities to bring widespread revival and redevelopment. Our class used this idea in the Camp Washington neighborhood of Cincinnati, OH. The semester culminated in an event to create demand for an underutilized portion of Camp Washington. Our event was able to fill the space and a collaborative mural was created by the attendees on the wall of a vacant building . The goal was to show the potential of this space and similar spaces in Camp Washington. The main issue was a lack of community presence but there was a showing of a few residents and nearby property owners. The owner of our site has since demolished the building the mural was painted on and plans to utilize the space soon.

Interpreting Contours as Landscapes
Exploration Of Electric Prisms through different methodology such as comparing lights and darks, reading textures as well as finding line weight and brush stroke patterns reveals hidden organic shapes and creates interesting compositions.
The painting Electric Prisms 1913 by Sonia Delaunay was examined through different methodology to examine how different factors can impact perception of a design. I broke down my piece into different cropped portions than pulled out interesting compositions through ideas like saturation of color, and direction of brush stroke texture. The composition became a foam core model with a scale and illustrates my question of, what would it be like to walk through an abstract painting?

Site Planning Studio Inventory and Analysis My third semester studio was given a client located in the city of North College, located on the northern border of Cincinnati. During Fall 2017 Site Planning Studio, my studio took the position of a planning firm who are hired by their client to preform a Site Inventory of their relatively large site in North College Hill. Each student was responsible for various inventory and analysis of the surrounding area.

Woolpert
My first Co-Op was at Woolpert in Dayton, Ohio as a Planning Intern. The planning team at Woolpert primarily does Department of Defense Master Planning on United States military installations. I was exposed to a new world of planning at Woolpert and was guided by some very excellent planners. My work was mainly preparation of graphics for submittal documents ranging from 3D models to cartographic requirements for the different military installation plans.

Cuyahoga County Planning Commission
My second Co-Op was at the Cuyahoga County Planning Commission in Cleveland, Ohio. I was given the opportunity to work with planners and landscape architects on municipal master plans ranging from community plans to corridor plans. I was also allowed the opportunity to work alongside the Better Block Foundation and the City of Euclid on the implementation of a pop-up parkway.

Walnut Hills Neighborhood Analysis
My second semester I worked in a group studying the neighborhood of Walnut Hills in Cincinnati, Ohio. We analyzed impressions of the neighborhood, identity, imageability, mobility, history, census data, architecture as Imageability map of Walnut Hills. Depicts paths, districts, landmarks, nodes, and edges Hand Drawn
well as land use. I created maps and graphics
