ABOUT ME I grew up spending most of my life in New Hampshire. When I decided to go to college for landscape architecture, I chose to branch out and go further from home. I have attended Philadelphia University for the past 5 years; completing my BLA. I decided to push my self even further and went abroad for a semester where I studied urban design in Copenhagen, Denmark. Now I am in my final year of school. If I have learned anything from moving around the US and traveling the World, it has been to cherish the environment that you live in and the people around you. Designing the landscape and elements that go into it is a way that I can help make these environments better. I feel that I can not only make my life better through landscape architecture, but also improve the lives of others around me as well. I am a highly motivated individual. I enjoy problem solving, sketching, learning, exercising, and photography. Through my life to this point, I have discovered not only how to work efficiently by myself, but also how to communicate and collaborate with others in a group atmosphere. I plan to use my knowledge and skills on the road ahead.

GERMANTOWN Fall 2013 - Spring 2014
Philadelphia, PA USA
Germantown
Community & Urban Design Group: Taylor Klemm, Tim Linehan, Vanessa Miller, Darpan Patel
This interdiscplinary year long studio with landscape architects and architects was focused on creating a long term vision plan for a neighborhood during the fall semester, while also phasing out the project and detailing the initial steps in the spring semester. After inventorying and analyzing the elements of the neighborhood, our group discovered that through the rich history of Germantown, there was a large amount of vacant and underutilized space in the town center left behind by a historic rail spur. During our first semester, it was the vision to create a cultural corridor through these vacant spaces to re-start the neighbrohoods town center. It was our intent to this cultural corridor would not only re-start the failing town center, but it would also add density, make the area more walkable, implement sustainable structures, and create public, semi-private and private spaces for the community to use and enjoy.

Vanessa Miller, Darpan Patel
There are over 250 artists that reside in the neighborhood, so in our design we created a plaza space where live/work residential units, theatre space, and a multiuse space for the community help create vibrant edges to the area.
TREES Provides evapotransporation, cooling of home, creates habitat, manages stormwater, and cleaner air quality
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS Creates a place where people can become educated about the environment but increases corridors for wildlife COMMUNITY GARDENS Creates a place to learn how to grow fresh local food
PUBLIC & PRIVATE OUTDOOR SPACE Not only creates a greenway corridor along abandoned railways but also captures stormwater, allows for community interaction, and food growing
GREEN ROOF Captures rainwater, reduces the heat island effect, regulates home temperatures, provides wildlife benefits
SOLAR PANELS Creates energy from solar rays for the home
TRANSIT Close proximity to mass transit like SEPTA will create a sustainable and better means of transportation in and out of Germantown SOLAR SHADING Windows and shading allow for sunlight warmth to penetrate into the home during winter and shades in the summer in order to maintain efficient heating and cooling

BARTRAM’S NORTH Spring 2013
Kingsessing Philadelphia, PA USA
Brownfield Remeditation Group: Tim Linehan, Mark Keinard, Ryan Harms, Steph Miller
This project focused on a site that was historically an oil and coal yard. The resulting aftermath was a contaminated site that was not only polluting the soil of the property but also leaching chemicals into the adjacent river. As a result, the contaminated site was not only a hazard for the city, but also prevented residents of the area from accessing the waterfront and using this valuable open space. It was the goal of the project to meet the clients needs of adding industry back to the site in a “clean” manner while also meeting the needs of the city to continue the Schuylkill River trail along the rivers edge. Our group focused on cleaning the contamination of the site and finding and interesting way to bring back a natural ecology of the site to through bioremediation, while also creating a symbiotic relationship between trail users and a “lighter, greener” industry. This goal would prevent residents of the adjacent neighborhoods and the city from being cut off from natural open spaces and would rather embrace the interaction between these persons and a new, small scale industry.

SEMESTER ABROAD Fall 2012
Copenhagen Denmark
Urban Design This semester abroad opened my eyes to a lot of things in relation to urban design and the elements that help make a great space successful. A large influence was not only the city of Copenhagen, but also traveling to other cities to study how they were designed and used. Over the course of the semester, I studied multiple developments in and around Copnenhagen area as well as in other nearby countries. A large influence on my view of urban design while abroad and after are the findings of Jan Gehl. His study of urban spaces for the past 60 years has made his work intriguing in relation to the “human scale�. Copenhagen, world renowed for its ideas about urban design, was a great place to study. On the following pages are a few of the urban case studies and projects that I completed.
Orsunds Kollegiet: student housing landscape Before
This view shows how light can not only be brought into the space at night, but also during the day. Uplighting of the space at night can make the space feel more comfortable. Softening some of the edges with lightly colored vegetation as well as some grade changes to create a variety of spaces for different functions.
he This student housing complex lacked natural light due to the height and close proximity of the buildings to each other so the goal of this project was ways to make the space feel “lighter� even if natural light could not be brought into the space.
Case Study: Utrecht Canals
Myself and three other students from various disciplines did an urban study of a city in Holland where historic canals affected its development. We studied how the area was affected by the grade change, the canals, tree coverage, bridges, bends in the river, facades of buildings, and the width of the different pedestrian paths. Each aspect had an effect on the feel and mood of the space. Tim Linehan, Nadine Oelschlager, Adam Strauss, Tim Schaefer
The upper and lower paths as well as the tree coverage had an affect on the feel of the urban space.
Tim Linehan, Nadine Oelschlager, Adam Strauss, Tim Schaefer
The infrastructure of the space, including the arched bridges and the “four second� building facades had a profound affect on how the space was percieved.

PARK WEST Fall 2010 - Spring 2011
Wes st Philadelphia West Philadelphia, PA USA
Community & Urban Design Group: Tim Linehan, Andrew Calderone, Crystal Vega, Kabir Punde
This year long studio was my first introduction to community and urban design. As groups, we looked at the neighborhood of West Philadelphia and completed an inventory and analysis of the area to determine good gateways in and out of the area. After doing an in depth analysis of the area, our group decided to focus on the intersection of Upland and 59th street to investigate ways of making the area more pedestrian friendly and inviting for visitors of the area. The second semester was spent on choosing a site and developing it in more detail. I chose an adjacent property with a closed box store located on it. I looked at how this site could add to the gateway into the neighborhood. Ultimately, a mixed use development was seen as a good way to not only bring people to the neighborhood, but also a good way to keep people living in the area.
During the first semester I worked with other student to inventory, study, and analyze the area to create a more pedestrian friendly gateway into the Park West neighborhood.
Existing Conditions
Looked at multiple ways to re-design the intersection of Upland & 59th in order to make it safer for pedestrians
Before
After looking at the unsafe intersection of Upland and 59th, I focused on designing a property where a closed box store existed. The site was adjacent to the intersection and a new mixed use development could act as a good attraction to bring people to the area and draw people into the surrounding neighborhood.
Detailed view of a plaza space adjacent to the mixed use development.
The drastic 20 foot drop in elevation from the surrounding streets posed an obstacle for access to the site, so various scenarios were explored. Since parking was needed on site, it was decided to keep parking on the outside of the spaces in order to provide a more pedestrian friendly environment for visitors to enjoy.
View showing how the mixed use development could not only bring economic stability back to the neighborhood, but could also provide places to live, work, and play.
MAGEE HOSPITAL Fall 2011
Center City Philadelphia, PA USA
Green Space After visiting the hospital and speaking with our client, it was explained that the patients as well as employees and families wanted to have a space on the existing roof top where they could get away from the hospital environment and be in a peaceful healing space. Therefore, it was the goal to create a passive space to act as both a green roof and a healing garden for its users. When inventory and analysis of the space was completed, it was clear that the vast open space had to be programmed for both larger gathering spaces as well as secluded spaces for all types of users to enjoy. It was at this point that I looked into Japanese gardens and how their passive atmosphere and simple designs could help with the healing process. So, I tried to emulate characteristics and elements seen typically in these types of spaces and seperate the roof top into various “rooms” that people could use. The simple design elements of typical Japanese gardens helped to create these “rooms”.
Above is the master plan for the green roof and healing garden. The flowing movement through the space not only helps to create a comfortable passive space, but also helps to seperate the space into designated “rooms� that people can enjoy.
Doing a detailed inventory and analysis of the site was crutial to understanding the limited space that was available on the roof top.
NIGHT MARKET Spring 2012
Northern Liberties/ Fishtown Philadelphia, PA USA
Green Space & Urban Design Group: Tim Linehan, Chris Lousos, Justin Lentz, Ian Schieve, Jordan Force, Ryan Harms, Megan Krieg
This semester studio focused on selecting and designing an area for a Night Market. For the first part of the semester, we used programs such as GIS to anaylze and chose potential candidates. After a long search, a site in the Northern Liberties/Fishtown neighbrohood of Philadelphia was selected. The space was a large stretch of vacant land under the I-95 overpass that dissects the neighborhood. It was our groups goal to not only create a space for a Night Market, but also to create an area that could be used for eduational purposes, for passive green space, and even for stormwater management. Through the design process, we focused on the ideas based around sustainability and incorporated them into our spaces as the site developed. We made each lot connect to the adjacent lots, but provided design elements that would allow the spaces to function solely on their own if so desired.

COMPETITIONS Fall 2013
Philadelphia, PA USA
Group 1: Tim Linehan, Melanie Whedon, Lea DiSantis, Katie Blumberh, Brandon Saiz Group 2: Tim Linehan, TJ Burghart, Jeff Gu, Adrian
The first competition was for Comcast and the goal was to design the future home of 2020 with technology. Our group focused on the idea of community living and how the typical Philadelphia rowhome promotes interaction. We looked at creating a central “hearth� where all technologies could be housed in order to create a efficient, sustainable, communal space for people to gather around. Our group won second place for the competition. The second competition was a charette that the organization PIPhilly held where students of various disciplines from various schools in the city were asked to come together to help solve a urban design problem. The groups were given a few hours to look at three vacant lots in the city center and problem solve solutions for the space. Our group focused on multi-use live/ work spaces that could create liveable, walkable, and intimate spaces to tie into the surrounding urban fabric. Our group ended up winning first place.

SKILLS Fall 2009 - Present
Skills learned from all around the World
In the following section, there are examples of projects from classes that were unique to the program and aided in a more well rounded view of landscape architecture as a profession. Such classes as construction documents, planting design, grading, and hyrdrology helped me to understand more than just the design aspects of the profession. I learned skills that are used in the profession outside of the educational background. The projects and classes show the dynamic structure of the program where real world applications are brought to the table on a regular basis. This section also includes hobbies and pastimes such as sketching and photopgraphy that I have brought with me around the world. The skills that I have learned and obtained are not only applicable to where I studied, but can be taken with me anywhere I go. These skills have set the foundation for a future in landscape architecture and have created opportunities for continued learning. I hope to use these skills to become a better designer and utilize them in the professional arena.
Construction Documents For this project, I was given a site on campus near the student center where a stormwater management system as well as the adjacent spaces had to be re-thought and re-designed. On the following pages are plans and details that were created in the construction documents course that I took. The project was also used in the following planting design course that I took where plants were selected for the re-designed stormwater management space. Planting plans and details of the plantings are shown on the following spread.
Planting Design
Grading For this project, I was given a undeveloped lot was given certain requirements for a proposed development. Site elements that were needed include: five homes, a convienence store and parking lot with a minimum of twenty four parking spaces, a road, and a stormwater basin to manage runoff from the designed development. Certain grades had to be maintained as a requirement of the project. To the left is the final grading plan for the development.
VERTICAL CURVE
While grading the road through the development, we not only were required to analyze the horizontal representation of the grading but also had to calculate the vertical curve of the proposed street. To the right is the graph showing where cut and fill would be needed if the road were to be constructed.

For this project, I was given a park in Northeast Philadelphia, and the area needed to be anaylzed for potential Green Stormwater Infrastructure systems (GSI). Potential areas were located, concepts were developed, and loads for the systems were calculated to see how much stormwater could be captured.

WORK EXPERIENCE Fall 2011 - Present
Philadelphia, PA USA
Hudson, NH USA
Over the past few years, I have obtained jobs in both my hometown in New Hampshire as wel as where I attend school in Philadelphia. The most recent position that I’ve had has been with the Philadelphia Water Department. I started a summer internship in May of 2013 where I started off only knowing the basics about stormwater management and ended learning a great deal about how many systems are planned, function, and are ultimately designed and implemented. I was asked to come back for part time work after the summer ended and I am currently working on aspects involving the planting design of the systems and how to make the systems not only function, but also look aesthetically pleasing from a design perspective. In addition to my work at the water department, I also spent two summers doing residential landscape construction where I learned a great deal about the construction side of how landscapes are designed and ultimately implemented. Both these positions where unique in the fact that I was able to see both sides of a project from design to its construction. They have helped me to understand the design and construction process and have pushed me to think more critically about how to design landscapes.
Philadelphia Water Department W,KdK E >z^/^
This was a task that I was given while working at the water department where I had to look at a park, inventory the area, anaylze the opportunities and constraints, and come up with a design concept for the site. The project presented many challenges from ultility constraints to extensive grade changes, but in the end, the concept shows that a fair amount of stormwater can still be disconnected form the combined sewer system and managed in or around the park. The concept for this site has now moved onto the design phase and is currently be looked at for actual GSI systems.
