Umbra | 2018 Landscape Architecture Portfolio

POR T FO LIO tanner jordan prewitt

a word from the designer umbra 2018-2019 Umbra represents the development of sites hidden in shadow. Light is shown on out-dated projects, been-done memorials, try-hard urban development, and underutilized space. Umbra includes new ways of thinking, of designing, and of planting the natural world. These projects, like all projects, are never finished. They still evolve.

the village at cardinal downs housing and urban design The Village at Cardinal Downs is a mixeduse community located north of Ball State University. Created with various housing types and landscape uses, the VCD envelopes people into the landscape.

This symbiosis blurs the lines between nature and man, between the lawn and the homeowner.

Project Statement The Village at Cardinal Downs is a mixed-use development north of Ball State University’s campus. Radiating from the village center, the avenues and housing pulsates away from this central hub. Despite the number of housing types, the VCD integrates itself in the landscape.

There is no clear boundary when it comes to hardscape and softscape.

The village center is the strongest feature of the VCD. At nearly 60,000 square feet, the center features a farmer’s market and grocery, the Cooking Cardinal restaurant, a mixed-use building with a coffee shop, fitness studio, daycare, and other amenities. This commercial hub is constructed in a circular fashion, modeled off Jeffersonian architecture.

Connected by colonnades, the village center is a vibrant social hub in the warmer months of Muncie’s weather. Jefferson Park is also directly accessible by the school.

The VCD boasts three other major park systems. Cardinal Lake is another social hub, with an amphitheater and concert pavilion. South of it is the Meadow, a more rustic and serene setting nestled between housing developments. Here, copses of trees allow privacy and a retreat from domestic life. Finally, Delta Park is a formal park space away from the village center. The gardens here attract a number of visitors, and the Cardinal Christmas Celebration begins here with a tree-lighting ceremony.

Housing Typologies lofted apartments Inspired by the Circus in Bath, England, these apartments curve along the radial pattern of the development. With a livework structure, these apartments are optimally located by the village center.

townhouses • • •

955 sq.ft. per individual townhouse parking is accessed off the street 33,838 sq.ft. lot with average (12) townhouses per lot

The townhouses allow residents to live in a community of its own.

Affordable and manageable, these townhouses feature pocket greenspaces to better integrate nature into the development.

These pockets can function as a private yard, a natural area, or for bioretention.

9

single family homes • • •

1,153 sq.ft. per individual home detached two-car garage faces street 7,936 sq.ft. lot with average (2) homes per lot

Designed for small families and college students, these small homes allow neighbors to truly be next-door without the clutter of suburbia. Facing an expansive park rather than a street increases the value of these units.

Easy access to bike lanes also decreases the need for cars.

10

family homes • •

1,822 sq.ft. per home 7,467 sq.ft. lot with (1) home per lot

With only two on the site, these family homes are rare. Larger than the single-family homes, they are better fit for larger families or a large group of college students.

The family homes also have a larger yard for larger occupancy.

11

This symbiotic relationship also includes transportation. Most of the roads in the VCD feature bike lanes, allowing sustainable transportation in a city dominated by commuters. Many of these bike lanes are separated by landscaped medians, especially in the more urban areas. A series of trails wrap around the development, better connecting homeowners with the landscape.

12

the lyndenbrook housing and urban design The Lyndenbrook combats the invasive consumerism rampant in Muncie. Using various typologies, the Lyndenbrook has reformed the idea of the main street, an American icon that has lost its hold on commercialism as time has progressed.

It focuses on bioretention, uniting the landscape with the streetscape.

Project Statement the american main street Architectural historian Richard Longstreth stated: “Main Street became to America what the piazza was to Italy”. Small towns across America are defined by a “main street” typology of commerce, residence, and recreation. It is the root of character for urban environments. It is a driving force of centralization, the heart of civic life.

The Main Street’s dominance parallels the dominance of streetcars and trolleys. Rail transit concentrates populations. Yet in the 1920s, when personal automobiles became a fashion, then a commodity, and now a necessity, the Main Street became obsolete. Automobiles distribute populations.

A well-designed streetscape provides non-traffic social functions related to commerce, assembly, recreation, and aesthetics. It neither concentrates populations to a singular space or distributes populations to alternate spaces. Instead, the new Main Street connects populations.

It creates a series of connections that attach to similar forms, typologies, and uses. a commercial conglomeration Today, Muncie is known for its university and for its fast-food chains that link McGalliard Road. This traffic artery is metaphorically clogged on the fat and grease of tens of chain restaurants (as well as clogged with commuter traffic).

Wedged between these chain restaurants are little pockets of commerce. Strip malls cut through the landscape, selling everything from cell phones to bail bonds. Professional buildings dot the entire eastern border of Lyndenbrook, consuming most of the land. Marsh used to be a large pull to the area, but with the company’s bankruptcy in central Indiana, the large supermarket is now super empty. Rural King serves as the major flagship in the district.

The entire district is a conglomeration of knick-knack locations that draw passerbys in. Little development occurs along McGalliard Road, and little residential development occurs north in those pockets. Student apartments, small subdivisions, and senior living communities are walled in by fast-food, box stores, vacant storefronts, and busy traffic intersections.

Project Statement The garden’s “streamlined� appearance is seen in tiered geometries creating a feeling of immense weight at the foundation. Art Deco is also characterized by the heavy ornamentation these forms receive, though it is not gaudy but symmetrical and a more intense replication of those linear forms. Metals and stucco painted in brilliant pastel colors were the chief media of ornamental Art Deco designers.

Art Deco represented the Roaring Twenties, a period that preceded the Great Depression and a second world war. Garden Moderne looks at Art Deco styles as applicable to landscape architecture, transitioning them from fashion, interior design, and architecture. The southern plots of the garden feature dense, green plantings in strong lines. A central allee lined with ginkgos leads to an ornamental fountain and an explosion of colorful perennials. Curving berms pull the visitor out of the garden, bathing them in an array of soft colors accented by intricate flowers, leaf margins, and plant forms.

The various plantings chosen for the garden stem from their unique foliage or flowers. Many of the plants also have brilliant color through a long blooming season or overlap with later-blooming species. Most of the plants are natives, a few are rather aggressive species, and the zinnias themselves will have to be replanted each year. However, the species and cultivars of perennials add unique textures, shapes, colors, and features to Garden Moderne.

iowan gothic — memoriam planting design Iowan Gothic — Memoriam hearkens back to a second-year project. The original project replicated a Gothic cathedral and landscape, as if plucked from the streets of Prague. This re-visitation looks at that same project as ruins, as a landscape consumed by the native prairie and ruderal plantings.

Project Statement The original project statement called for an attraction at a rest stop in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Much of the design work and criteria was left to the imagination. Combining Czech heritage in Cedar Rapids with Iowan agrarianism proved fruitful for the former. A large Gothic cathedral was built as an extension of the rest stop, complete with cloisters, formal gardens, and a large arcade. It became less of an attraction and more of a destination, an opulent gem like Thorncrown in Arkansas by E. Fay Jones. The project became architectural, and this memoriam reexamines the approach taken.

Taking the idea of the past, of Gothic ruins, and the behavior of native prairie, this project looks at the former site as a ruderal body. Consumed by grasses, wildflowers, sedges, and vines, the stone ruins of the former buildings begin to fade into the landscape. The rest stop is still an experience and a destination, less of a tacky, American roadside attraction that cars pass by on the Interstate.

Iowan Gothic — Memoriam allows tourists, motorists, nature, and architecture to interact in various seasons. People can walk over ruins, pass through ruderal vegetation, and take a respite from their journey. Before, Iowan Gothic was Gothic elitism triumphing over Iowan agrarianism. Now, Iowan Gothic is Gothic elitism brought to heel by Iowan agrarianism.

Project Statement In the days leading up to Japan’s surrender, and the end of World War II, a battle cruiser sailed for an island. On board was top-secret cargo, the contents of which the Navy personnel weren’t privy to. Returning from its destination, the U.S.S. Indianapolis was struck by torpedoes from an enemy submarine. A few leagues from where the survivors fended off shark attacks, the top commanders in the Pacific Theatre were planning a full-scale invasion of Japan that could result in the deaths of thousands of U.S. soldiers. And unbeknownst to the commanders and the survivors at sea, on another island, men were loading the greatest weapon the world had ever seen onto a plane. These three parties were unaware of each other’s circumstances, yet were intricately entwined.

Trinity Park addresses these legendary stories. Not only is it the name of the project that tested the atomic bomb, it serves as a unifier between the stories of the crew of the Indianapolis, General MacArthur, and the airmen that flew the bombs. What the stories contain is destruction and pain, but also determination and courage. These stories can be shared, in the namesake of that fateful ship, in the heartland of America.

Sources for historical research on the Trinity Project include Silent Voices of World War II (Rogers + Bartlit); Robert Oppenheimer: A Life Inside the Center (Monk); The Effects of Nuclear Weapons (Glasstone); The Decision to Use the Atomic Bomb (Alperovitz); and Five Days in August: How World War II Became a Nuclear War (Gordin). For information on the atomic bombing, see Death in Life: Survivors of Hiroshima (Lifton); Hiroshima (Hersey); Hiroshima Nagasaki: The Real Story of the Atomic Bombings and Their Aftermath (Ham); The Bomb: A Life (DeGroot); The End of the Pacific War: Reappraisals (Hasegawa); and The Decision to Drop the Atomic Bomb: Hiroshima and Nagasaki: August 1945 (Wainstock). For sources on the sinking of the battle cruiser, see Abandon Ship!: The Saga of the USS Indianapolis, the Navy’s Greatest Sea Disaster (Newcomb); In Harm’s Way: The Sinking of the USS Indianapolis and the Extraordinary Story of Its Survivors (Stanton); and The Tragic Fate of the USS Indianapolis: The U.S. Navy’s Worst Disaster at Sea (Lech).
