Richmond Virginia City Masterplan 5th Year Land Planning Studio In this studio, we investigated a holistic city vision and masterplan for the diverse city of Richmond Virginia. This proposal focuses on creating infrastructure and public space to facilitate the hosting of large scale events within the city. This economic driver facilitates the densification of downtown neighborhoods, bringing people back to the city from the suburbs. A primary goal of the project was to first respect the James River, reconnect the city to it, and use it as a basis for all design decisions.

Elderspirit Community Gathering Space 4th Year Construction Documentation Studio This small scale project explores the relationship between design and construction. In this studio, we produced not only a detailed design for the central community space in the Elderspirit community, but a full set of construction documents describing the methods for bringing the ideas to life. Physical site models were essential in the design process for this project.

Professional Work in China Summer 2012 - Landscape Design Intern at Turenscape In the summer of 2012, I had the opportunity to spend 90 days in Beijing, China learning from Dr. Kongjian Yu and working as an intern at Turenscape. The projects I engaged ranged from small scale streetscapes to massive cities for hundreds of thousands of people. This was an incredible cultural experience both inside and outside of the office.

This 20 acre park design embeds the traditional programmatic elements of an American park into a series of iconic landscape typologies. Active recreation fields, ball courts, an amphitheater and active play spaces are all carefully weaved into the landscape. Completed as a companion to our watershed sensitive site design course, this design also focuses on stormwater management as a primary function of the landscape. Playground

adjacent to corresponding building activities, to encourage the relationship between indoor and outdoor activity. Connections are made to the corner and the street, while the playground is safely tucked away in the park. A large conservation area exsists to the west of the building to treat the excess runoff from the roof of the building as well as the parking lots. A 2000 sq. foot paved community space is located of the nothwest corner of the building, providing additional event possiblities as well as enjoyable views off the “bluff”.

Freedom Park Concept Development Vertical Studio Charrette - Virginia Tech This project, located in Rosslyn, Virginia, in close proximity to Washington DC, explores the re-purposing of a failed auto infrastructre project into a linear public park within the city. Our proposal envisioned a distinct progression of unique spaces along this corridor, each with its own character and program. The focal point of the design highlights the view of the Washington Monument with a passive recreation anchor. A program for utilizing the facade of the signature building as a canvas for light at night brings it to life in the city.
conceptual development
“What is the good of your stars and trees, your sunrise and the wind, if they do not enter into our daily lives?”
“Night, the beloved. Night, when words fade and things come alive. When the destructive analysis of day is done, and all that is truly important becomes whole and sound again. When man reassembles his fragmentary self and grows with the calm of a tree.“
E. M. Forster Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Professional Work - Design Development, SFCS Harbors Edge, Norfolk Virginia This complex project seeks to marry a new independent living tower, historic fort, and proposed linear pedestrian spacesystem in a holistic design proposal for the Harbor’s Edge community in Norfolk, Virginia. As the community seeks to duplicatetheir existing program and expand into the future, this proposal crafts a distinct bond between built architecture and the landscape.
Thesis Project - In Progress - Oklahoma City, OK, USA The overarching goal of this project is to investigate, define, and describe community design strategies for encouraging physical health of human beings, focusing on the current obesity epidemic. At its heart, this thesis is about defining and underlying structure, an engineered framework through which physcial health is inherently built into the places where people live. It is in this way that the work becomes invisible - and individuals begin making the right lifestyle choices subconsciously on a daily basis, resulting in positive long term impacts on their health. perfromance criteria - planning methodology
