LIVE LOVE POTENTIAL
The Live Love project, El Oasis, aims to convert a deserted urban lot into a vibrant social, educational, and residential center in Chandler, AZ. The most prominent POTENTIAL of the site is its ability to satisfy these purposes simultaneously, to the multigenerational participants of the organization’s activities. The best ways to achieve this POTENTIAL through the landscape is to offer unique experiences within the landscape for play and exploration to community children and to
PERSPECTIVE A
connect visitors to a sense of place created by the use of native Sonoran and edible plantings. Visitors will have immersive experiences with the plantings of the site, whether taking a stroll through the Sonoran Desert Rain Garden, foraging in the Perennial Food Forest, or harvesting fruit from the Citrus Orchard. These experiences will serve recreational, educational, and restorative purposes to visitors and residents who will find areas for rest and conversation throughout the site.

EL OASIS SOUTH ELEVATION The Live Love project, El Oasis is a proposed community center located in Chander, Arizona that creates a space for people to gather, learn and live all within their own community. The design intent for the El Oasis project was inspired by the need for a space for the community to come together for a variety of uses. The space was inspired by one’s own yard. Small, intimate spaces around the site create the perfect place to hang out with friends, have an afternoon picnic or find a cool, shady tree to read under all in one safe and fun environment.
1: LOCAL ART MURAL

CONNECTING WITH THE ALA WAI PROJECT TEAM
This year-long studio was aimed to engage local communities in Honolulu’s Ala Wai watershed to develop a water infrastructure design that focuses on the indigenous practices in contrast to common westernized watershed interventions. We explored landscape architecture and design with an emphasis on the urban landscape where ecology plays a significant role in the design interventions. Coursework for this studio included a literature review, design research, community engagement, conceptual design, and presentations by faculty and students. Eventually, this interdisciplinary studio will develop a site-specific design to showcase how our community engaged water system design can bring the “water is life” concept by the winners of the 2016 Make the Ala Wai Awesome challenge into fruition.

Aloha – Welcome and pay respect to the presence of water in the landscape.
B.S.L.A. CANDIDATE 2019
This design concept is based on a sequence called Aloha – Ola – Mahalo. Aloha is the Hawaiian word for hello or welcome. The aloha spirit is about welcoming others and sharing a mutual respect, when we apply this spirit to storm water management, we welcome water into our landscapes and respect its presence. Ola translates to life. In a landscape, water is the source that gives life to all plants and animals. Through design, we can show that we cherish the life that water gives us and manage water in a way that enhances and nourishes all life. In the final stage, Mahalo, we give thanks to the water and express our g ratitude through the landscape. We do this by celebrating and acknowledging the importance of water, then allowing it to flow through its natural cycle.
Ola – Manage water responsibly to allow it to enhance and nourish all life.
Mahalo – Give thanks to the water and celebrate its importance in the landscape.

The most significant idea about this concept is used stormwater catchment system to clean water and reduce the flooding issue. People in Hawaii like to plant taro in farmland, and the catchment system could clean the water before flows to the ponds. Kids can have an outside activity here to learn how to plant taro with farmers. Students can have experiments here to use a test tube to test the water quality and learn water conservation. Three benefits from this concept are land use multifunction; kids education and taro planting.

My conceptual design is inspired by the kanaka Hawaiian Ahupua’a system of land management and resource division. 1st part is where we welcome the water on site. 2nd we celebrate the wealth the water provides. 3rd we celebrate water for all the life it has given us. In my design I have focused around these principles, 1st to capture and contain, 2nd filtration and infiltration, 3rd the reintroduction of indigenous vegetation.When weconnect the Spirituality of the Hawaiian people with the techniques of the low impact development tool kit we can properly address the watershed isues.

These conceptual principles were inspired by the tour we took of a LOI’ at the University of Hawaii Manoa metaphorical connection between the diversion and flow of live-giving water through a LOI’ and the diversion and flow of water through a green infrastructure system. Divert, flow, and nourish are all principles extracted from this phenomenon that occurs in both LOI’ and green infrastructure systems. Upon a closer look, the kalo itself in its cultivation bed is rich with metaphor and representation of Hawaiian values. These metaphorical connections themselves are also being extracted as design principles. Each part of the kalo plant represents a component of the Hawaiian culture and values that we learned about during our field trip. The life-giving, photosynthesizing, protective leaves represent generation. The stem represents connection, a crucial step that enables collaboration and true progress to be made. Connected to the stem is the kalo corm, representing nourishment of the Big Brother to the Hawaiian people and healing. And growing out from the kalo corm are the roots, which represent the indigenous heritage of Hawaii that the people respect and consult with such reverence.

The Arroyo district seeks to restore canal right-of-ways surrounded by natural open spaces back to rich riparian and desert ecologies. Natural areas near roadways and communities that are prone to flooding, arroyos are diverted into a series of retention basins, a sort of natural sponge, promoting the growth of native vegetation and creation of habitat.

SOUTH MOUNTAIN REIMAGINED OVERVIEW
GOALS
South Mountain has always contained both beautiful natural features and deep historical roots, but as South Mountain Village began to develop, both the unique features and history of the mountain have been forgotten. Thus it is in the community’s best interest to reimagine critical areas along South Mountain that bring natural features and history back into the community through improved trail systems and trail heads. This would benefit the community by allowing citizens to fully utilize the irreplaceable natural benefits that South Mountain provides.
1: Create a network of ecologically diverse and healthy environments promoting an increase in habitat and walk-ability
NEEDS
SOLUTION
1: Accessibility to the South Mountain Preserve and its historical origins.
South Mountain Design Guidelines that:
2: Increase social and ecological interactions at a variety of scales within the community. 3: Promote a celebration of the unique ecocultural history of South Mountain Village. 4: Implement replicable, proactive design initiatives throughout communities to mitigate effects caused by extreme events.
2: Unique identity that is representative of the community.
-Reimagine existing trail heads
3: Improve areas that are affected by extreme events, such as heat waves and flooding.
-Propose urban trail heads

REIMAGINE EXISTING TRAIL HEADS (Phase II)
Existing Character
Existing Character Phase I is located on 19TH Ave just South of Dobbins Rd. Currently, the vacant site is owned by the City of Phoenix and is home to a wide range of native species. With relative proximity to the canal systems, this spot offers beautiful views and a flat terrain that will offer future users an experience that is unique.
Phase II, located at the current 19TH Ave Trail-head is currently in fair to poor condition. Again, owned by the City of Phoenix, this site has potential to reduce the existing footprint and create something that encompasses the irreplaceable mountain preserve.
Proposed is an “urban trail-head that will contain retentions, bioswales, vehicular parking, equestrian parking, shade structures and multi-use trail systems that span into Phase II.
Proposed is a ‘reimagined trail head’ that will contain bioswales, equestrian parking, equestrian trail systems, multi-use trail systems and Hohokam terracing.

South Mountain Village Streetcar
Concept
Streetcar Route and Stops
A six-mile street car in South Mountain Village will aid in the connection of riders to neighborhoods, business centers as well as regional events and destinations while the infrastructure of the streetcar itself will collect and filter storm water, provide areas for vegetation, as well as reduce heat. These two separate systems will be connected to help mitigate urban heat and offer the community a more efficient mode of transportation and will cool riders through evapotranspiration, shade, and intercepting heat radiation.
Section Without Stop (A)
Goals
Section With Stop (B)
1.
Increase the amount of both living and manmade shade through street trees as well as a shade structure at each streetcar stop.
2.
Expand natural cooling methods to streets and transit stops through evapotranspiration by increasing the amount of vegetation and the implementation of bioswales that collect storm water.
3.
Provide a more efficient mode of transportation for the community to decrease the amount of time public transit users are exposed to the heat.
4.
Reduce conventional paving methods by implementing pervious paving at street corners and decreasing the amount of asphalt in street medians.

Shade Structure for Existing Bus Stop
City water could be connected to the structures misting system which would provide relief from the summer sun for both the people and the plants.
Desert Plants would grow in PVC Troughs above to enhance shade and aesthetic appeal Green walls would be made out of wood or plastic pallets that would be lined with landscape fabric and filled with soil. Incisions could then be made in the fabric through the pallet slits to plant several types of flora.
Horizontal planks could be rearranged by the users of the space to provide both solar and wind protection. They could also serve as a play feature for younger kids.

El Oasis
Site Context
- Site located within Chandler, AZ - Nearby are a few parks and this space is commonly passed by during school hours - Galveston Elementary School is a few blocks away and this site is by the local high school as well - Currently is serving no purpose other than being a dirt lot
Building a Community With this site currently being neglected, the redesign of this site should have a focus on family as the residents around the area are strongly linked together. With this in mind, the idea of quilts is utilized to bring together a sense of continuity to the site as well as to give a reminder of the bonds that this community has. From the shade structures to the pavers used on the ground, a variety of elements are implemented to pay homage to this philosophy. Through the thematic programming on the site to the vegetation accentuating these features, El Oasis will serve to be a place rooted in strong community values.

Stormwater will run off towards the bioswale due to the angle of the roof
Not for Construction Water will slowly seep towards the bottom of the swale, revitalizing the shrubs and utilizing that excess water caught by the structure
Date
Native plants are well adapted to the climate and can be a habitat or food source for some animals/ insects The roots of the deergrass in the swale can act as a filtration measure for water runoff before entering a main drainage system
09.13.18
A bioswale is a landscape element that can be helpful in directing the stormwater from the roof towards a planted area for stormwater filtration. Water is easily able to flow into this area due to the sloped sides of the planting bed, where the water is cleaned by the soil and root systems. This water then is directed towards a drainage system where itExisting finally goes back to a body of water or stream.Conditions This design is situated in front of all the buildings on site to capitalize on the pitch of the roof. In relation Sheet to the bioswale designs in front 1 of 5 smaller swales are also utilized of the buildings, throughout the site to form connections.

In the Golden Plaza, the emphasis resides in the open and bright space that is offered. The Parkinsonia praecox offers a brilliant yellow bloom that livens up this area up for festivities and business activities. The trees are 25’ on center, which should give an adequate amount of room for pedestrians to move around the area and to talk to each other. The area under the quilt shade structure offers a stage, a place where people may gather for events and performances.

At the private residence area, an emphasis is made on keeping this area serene and family oriented. Because this space is located towards the back of the site, there should not be any public disturbances that effect this residetial complex. A bioswale is situtated in front of the building as a means to rejuvenate the deergrass and to filter the stormwater that runs off the building. A good amount of shade is established in this area due to the Prosopis chilensis and Parkinsonia praecox, making this area an enticing spot.

The Outlook
Context and Conceptual Master Plan
Concept Theatre Production and Design is the process of creating a staged picture. Ranging from costume, lighting, media, scenic, sound and stage management. Theatre production designers are creating extraordinary pictures and moments, but these moments are only temporarily. Even so, the process is not far from the design of Landscape Architecture. The Outlook on Forest Mall will serve as a duel outdoor amphitheater and a small oasis for all people of any abilities to come and enjoy. Most importantly, the larger amphitheater will be a space where designers of theatre production, as well as other disciplines, will be able to express their art or simply themselves. The sub-amphitheater will create opportunity for everyone and anyone who has a voice figuratively that they would like to share with the audience of Forest Mall. The site will also call for users to actively come out and participate in the role as a designer of theatre production. Simultaneously, these users will be also contributing to the local homeless shelter and more, by reusing unwanted apparel that can be turned into art and later donated. The whole site inclusive, will sustain, manage and capture storm-water to prevent further flooding to the adjacent area. Storm water management is indeed a powerful feature on site, however there was also room for opportunity to mange storm-water throughout Forest Mall and to further connect its brilliance to The Outlook.
Goals 1) Create a space that serves as a platform for theatre production an design, while also considering how this space can be used for other disciplines. 2)To bring theatre production and design on to Forest Mall and most importantly to the people. 3) To bring awareness to users, by promoting performances from theatre, as well as HIDA’s many other events.
Inspiration
4) Design the site to manage storm-water, while also cleaning the water to reuse for irrigation.
I took Inspiration from costume designing and lighting design.
Execution
Four Manikins with limbs that have mobility, have been placed on site for users to come with their unwanted apparel to dress and position the manikin based on their own expression.
Permeable block paving with same level stabilized DG
Site Plan The main amphitheater has approximately 500 square feet of stage to serve the needs of any performance. In addition, Outlets for the stage will be provided.
The subamphitheater will draw in people who feel intrigued by the performer.

The seating is designed to be sat on a sloped turf, while still providing accessibility for people of all abilities. The design also calls for wheelchair visibility from both the lower row and the typical top row. If an actor, singer, speaker, etc are on stage, the burm rises six feet above ground level to shield any obstruction coming from the Mall. Following after the burm, is the sub-amphitheater adjacent to the Mall. This allows easy access for anyone to quickly pull off to the side and listen to what is being shared. The shade structure above the stage will cast colored mood lighting onto the performer, who has total control of the mood he/she would like to have for what they are presenting.

The water gathered on site and also the roof runoff from both Payne Hall and Farmers building adjacent to the site, will pool into the first basin where it will begin the first step of bioremediation. Eventually the water will find an outlet and this step will continue once more. The second outlet will lead the water into the retention area where it will be captured into a cistern.
Hydrology The topography of Forest Mall guides water from the North side of the Mall, to the medians in front of Coor building which has a cistern as well to collect water for irrigation. The water will go through a bioremediation process as well before entering the cistern. The south side of the Mall has the same characteristics, bringing the water to the middle of the Mall.
Plant Palette
Materials
The plant community that are in the basins and Forest Mall wash will filter out any contaminants and while also helping prevent soil erosion. The upper two basins have more shade tolerant plants and the lower one has more sun hearty plants.
The materials used on site are permeable paving and permeable concrete. The bridge and railing material was implemented to match the on-site bike storage which is stell bar grating. Concrete with mosaic tiles from the old child’s care facility is reused for the outlets inside the ponds. Gabion walls are implemented to seperate the two amphitheaters and also create opportunity for germination.

Concept:
Forest Mall at Arizona State University is filled with creative Herbeger Iinstitue for Design and the Arts students, but lacks the inspirational outdoor accommodations for them. Students should be able to show off their school with pride, and that’s exactly what Theatre Respite plans on doing. Theatre acting students aren’t represented much outside of the traditional theatre halls, with no place to get away from being inside all day. This project plans on giving the theatre program and any other visitors a special getaway surrounded by colorful, lush vegetation. ASU’s Masterplan goals were simple; have creative spaces with placemaking and wayfinding features, along with a sustainability story focused on water conservation, ecology, and habitat. Theatre Respite will achieve these goals through the use of creative lighting, retention basins, and low water-use plants.

The slope of the entire site flows towards the street causing water to travel from roofs and adjacent areas into and across the large, heavily vegetated retention basin. The surrounding permeable paving and planter beds absorb any access water remaining on the ground plane. The permeable paved walkway along the street allows water to infiltrate soil for stronger root development for trees. The use of circular shapes along with the panel theme for the walls was inspired by the facade of the Student Services / University Housing Building. Materials were chosen to represent Arizona’s true colors found in nature. All lighting under trees and between is LED light sensitive bulbs, gradually creating a soft glow in the evening. Existing concrete from the site was reused to make the benches, platforms, and top soil in the retention basin.

The Apertures Concept
HIDA asked me to find out what the people in the Photography Major need in a space. After speaking with students and professors of the photography department, they told me they wanted spaces dedicated to working in studio, a public gallery, and relaxation. I designed this location to fuse all their needs and the needs of Arizona State University. The spirit of the design lies within The Apertures, an interactive shade structure inpired by a camera aperture, to give photographers the ability to control the light in their art.

An inclusive outdoor oasis. Multi-use space designed for the Herberger Design & Arts community to gather, teach, learn, relax and recharge.
Section View of Elevation Change
ENTRANCE
Two wide sets of shallow steps framed by ramps lead from Forest Mall into the space. Hard scape is concrete variations and decomposed granite of the brickred color. Direct observation revealed that traffic barriers needed to be added to Forest Mall for safety. Vegetation includes shade-bearing mesquite trees and whimsical tall grasses. Hard scape and Vegetation work together to create fixed seating options while not cluttering the space.

Site Observation and Vegitation Analysis
FEATURES
A grassy knoll constructed out of dirt from the site, concrete retaining walls, and sod acts as a resting place or an outdoor amphitheater. A grove of Mesquite trees provide shade for the movable bistro seating and cafe that have been added to the space. All planters are within a 3ft height range and adequate width for additional seating. All plants are drought-tolerant and planter loving.

A functional outdoor space such as this would provide jobs in the cafe, healthy snack and drink options, an outdoor learning space, several places to decompress from the stresses of school (and life), a multitude of space for gatherings large and small, a refuge for local Tempe wildlife such as birds and insects, and an endless amount of daydreaming and inspiration. “I go to nature everyday for inspiration in the day’s work.” -Frank Lloyd Wright “Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and winds long to play with your hair” -Kahli Gibran Perspective Sketch of Cafe

Tyler Mall Site D Redesign
Our project will give students, faculty, and staff a greater sense of community and connection by adding more interactive spaces for the members to mingle. We decided to execute our mission through the use of three different “design interventions.”
Site Analysis and Path Observation:
The space has a total of 6 long views. Longview A ends on an alleyway of bike racks which can be corrected with a change of focal point. Long views B, C, D, and F are good as they are. Longview E ends on a bike rack framed by an alleyway which can also be improved with a change in focal point. Overall the space lacks in program with the exception of the seating areas along the side of one building and near the cafe. As a result of this, the space is used as a breezeway. When passing through, everyone with the exception of two people stayed on the paths. One cut straight through the grass area to get from the far upper right-hand corner to the far lower left-hand corner. The other wandered through the grass. Overall only 10 people lingered for longer than 10 minutes. Most people walked through with the purpose of getting somewhere.
Final Redesign at 1”=20’ Scale:
Our first intervention was to add new, creative forms of seating to attract students’ attention. Our second intervention was to add a statue of school-mascot Sparky dressed in the attire that a student might wear to preform in their respective fields of study; his outfit will be based on the purpose of the surrounding buildings (i.e. a labcoat and goggles so students and visitors know that they are in a science area). Our last intervention was to incorperate lawn games into our designs to encourage the community to actively use the space and engage with each other.

Fountain with Spary statue where Sparky is dressed up to match the majors that are featured in the surrounding buildings (lab coat, engineering scale, book, and beaker).
Cafe Area at 1”=10’ Scale:
To address the issues of this area, I have added trees with bigger canopies and more covered tables as well as a stucco dividing wall with built-in benches to create a more intimate framed space. I have also replaced the easily-flooded concrete with gravel. Tables made of native stone were added to provide interest; the larger ones have small fountains in their centers as well. And finally, to create more space for seating, I have opted to remove the brick archway in front of the cafe. 5. 6.
