ABOUT I am a farm-raised, mountain-climbing, sunshinepraising, urban-dwelling, aspiring landscape architect. My undergraduate degree in Political Science and International Relations from The College of Wooster has given me a people-oriented view of society, but my love of nature and ecological education at Temple University has given me the knowledge to connect the two. Please inquire within! Photo of yours truly in the turquoise jacket. taylor.h.keegan@gmail.com www.issuu/com/taylorkeegan 610-406-3992

PROJECT DURATION
September 2014 - December 2014
PROJECT OBJECTIVES
Create public lands along waterfront of Schuylkill River in downtown Philadelphia. Incorporate the greater context of the natural environment for design inspiration. Help restore a pocket of floodplain within the city context and design a park that could withstand a100 year flood. Reconnect people with the water through fluctuating water patterns, natural structures, and ecoregion inspired planting schemes.
MATERIALS/SOFTWARE
Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Autocad, Sketchup, with v-ray extension butter board for model. Light table for photographs.
LESSON LEARNED
In completing the majority of the graphics within the last three weeks of the semester, it forces quick decisions, which can offer a different design process. Also, no rest for the weary.

FIGURE GROUND The site is located along the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, in close proximity to the following (via Google Maps walking directions); 11 minute walk (.6mi) from the Franklin Institute and Logan Circle 11 minute walk (.5mi) from the University of Pennsylvania 16 minute walk (.8 mi) from Rittenhouse Square and City Hall 17 minute walk (1 mi) from Philadelphia Museum of Art
H Y D R O LO GY The site is located in a floodplain, that floods frequently. According to FEMA, the entire site is more than likely to flood on an annual basis. Additionally, due to channelizing the river, this site is along the corridor of the Schuylkill that is most likely to be flooded in the event of a storm. For our site, the current hydrology is as follows:

PEDESTRIAN AND BIKE COUNTS Based on data from the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (also referred to as the DVRPC), the majority of pedestrian traffic accounted for is located to the south of JFK Boulevard.
On the south side of John F Kennedy Avenue (JFK), twice as many pedestrians on the south side of the road, which also has access to the Schuylkill River Trail. This points to somewhere between 250-700 people using JFK to access the trail, daily. The bulk of the pedestrians currently come from the Schuylkill River Trail and Downtown Philadelphia.

This model was used as a preliminary exploration to create the skeleton of topography for the site. The intention was to create a space that people can interact with through climbing, hydrology, and materials. By focusing on the way people move into the space, it created the platform that the rest of the design was based upon. The larger photograph was helpful in visualizing the lower lying areas (the lighter), that would be fluctuating pools of water correlating to the tides of the Schuylkill River

PROJECT OBJECTIVES
Work with the New Kensington Community Development Corporation to provide alternatives for vacant lot development and a master plan of the neighborhood. The area is known throughout the region for its high lot vacancy, violent crime, and drug use.
MATERIALS/SOFTWARE
InDesign, Illustrator. Vellum, Prismacolor markers.
LESSON LEARNED
Talk to members of the community individually, because they know more than any site analysis could tell you. Don’t use your microns on trace paper or you’ll need a separate loan for pens.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES
This section is a sample of the work in ecological restoration I have done including classwork and working with the National Park Service in Denali National Park.
MATERIALS/SOFTWARE
Degraded ecosystems, plant field guides for Pennsylvania and Alaska, sand tables, rakes, hardhats, herbicide, hand lens, native seeds, measuring tape, lots of water, Autocad, GIS, Illustrator and InDesign.
LESSON LEARNED
Waterproof paper is helpful, bring extra batteries for your camera, and don’t forget the snacks. Also, duct tape really is a fix-all in the field.

As the Exotic Plant Management Intern assisting with revegetation and exotic plant treatment in the park, I spent the summer mapping and treating invasive species along the park road and supervising re-vegetation efforts in new construction in the park. These maps illustrate the work done and were included in the final report for Denali National Park 2014 Summer season.

EXISTING Detail design for Cedarbrook Passage included small erosion mitigation project surrounding a culvert that had been built to funnel water into the site during storms. A hiking trail runs over an area that is extremely eroded due to a culvert. This has resulted in a gap and unsafe walking conditions for hikers in addition to creating a compromised ecosystem.
CULVERT ,EROSION
HAZARD TREES
SHRUB REMOVAL
TREE REMOVAL
Part of the restoration includes strategically placing large rocks closer to the culvert to slow down and redirect the high velocity water coming out of the site coupled with a vegetated buffer along the gently sloping sides of the newly graded banks. As the current conditions are unsafe, for hikers, especially when the ground is wet, a bridge must be built to connect each side of the trail. By utilizing the tulip trees that are being taken out along the stream bank, a 15’ bridge can be made on site spanning the gap creating safe passage for any pedestrians enjoying the space.

A fellow classmate Teresa Pereira and myself also made a video describing the process which won the Society for Ecological Restoration and Island Press “Why Restore?” Scholarship.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES
Create opportunities to challenge perceptions of the what you design to the built environment. Engage Philadelphians in their streets, and with each other.
MATERIALS/SOFTWARE
100 + Mason Jars, Coffee, Lumber, Brackets, a power drill, gem shaped crayons, a table saw, recycled carpet, sod farm trip, plants, people, plants, clay, and plants.
LESSON LEARNED
Expectation doesn’t meet reality, sometimes its better than what you expected. People like cute things, they like to sit, and they like to take risks.

PA R K ( I N G ) DAY 2 0 1 3 : L I G H T Park(ing) day is a national event celebrated all over the world that encourages artists, designers and citizens to transform metered parking spots into temporary parklets, or public parks. My classmate, Ken Tomczuk and I designed and constructed each part of this park from bench to wall. In this exploration we wanted to understand where expectation meets reality in the design-build process. The parklet was a medium between a scale model and creating a permanent park. An excellent opportunity to explore scale, color, and form while also making a social impact through participating in the event itself.
45
PA R K ( I N G ) DAY 2 0 1 4 : P L AY For 2014, the theme was play; How can we get adults to play? The answer: you can’t, you can only get them to take risks! Folks were more likely to participate in Giant Jenga, and writing on the walls when they thought no one was watching.

MODEL STUDIES :
TOPOGRAPHY
Traveling from the Appalachian Mountains into the Piedmont Region of Philadelphia, this topography study is a playful homage to my commute from my home in Hamburg, Pennsylvania to school in Philadelphia. Through playing with scale and form, this dynamic experience is formed, giving on the feeling of traveling from high to low.
