Site Design: Birdland

My second year planning studio focused on accessibility in planning. While finding a way to properly use a space for housing of sightless and visually impaired people 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 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
My third year summer 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, Ohio. 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 we had 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.

Bluegrass Land Conservancy Only in the Bluegrass
My third year planning studio worked with the Bluegrass Land Conservancy in Central Kentucky to produce a collection of story focused maps and graphics that can be accessed online to inform and educate the landowners of Kentucky to the importance of land conservation for preserving the natural character and history of the Bluegrass region of Kentucky. The application used was the Esri story maps application. The interactive story map can be viewed at this link: https://arcg.is/14DGOT

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.

My third Co-Op was at Jacobs Engineering in Forest Park, Ohio. I worked as a landscape architecture intern where I worked on projects in Ohio and Indiana. The majority of what I worked on was quality control working on planting plans and detail drawings in AutoCAD for commercial and government projects.
