VANESSA SLIVINSKI Bachelor of Landscape Architecture
Ping Tom Memorial Park The project explored the use of live walls as an aesthetic and experimental factor in the design for the expansion of a public urban park in Chicago’s Chinatown. The design constructs a space to move through, not a destination.
BASE PLAN
EXISTING SITE PRAIRIE GRASS LIVE WALL BAMBOO OPEN LAWN
The site is composed of four sections delineated by vegetation and hardscape, which include prairie, bamboo, lawn, and pavement. Gravel paths are positioned to provide access to the entire site, establish connection to the existing park and create unique views in combination with the live walls. The vegetation was selected to provide intriguing textures and color. The scale of the live walls was intended to enclose a visitor in nature, while providing them with an area to exercise and relax. The structures transform into artistic pieces when they illuminate at night. The design presents an opportunity to explore vertical vegetation growth and its beneficial qualities beyond aesthetics.

We envisioned a live-work community with a variety of housing options, a technology/research park and a downtown area in order to create a self-sufficient environment. Each team member developed a specific component of the plan in further detail. The design addresses water remediation and the integration of the detached single family housing into the area. The corridors and pathways establish a connection between the residents and the adjacent open space. Thus promoting a more dominant pedestrian community.

Re-Inventing the Eastern Suburbs: Open Space Networks and Neighborhoods Proposed Network Development Christchurch, New Zealand This design is phase one of a two-phase project that focuses on the revitalization of the Christchurch eastern suburbs affected by the earthquake. In February of 2011, the city experienced the most destructive earthquake in 80 years, causing civilians to loose their homes. I was required to choose a specific portion or neighborhood with an area of approximately a half square mile. The location of the design was based on the potential new connection between a proposed housing development and available open space from the red zone. The intent was to accommodate residents within a short distance from their previous homes. The proposed housing development is composed of different densities and connections to larger open space to provide a new sense of home. The river walk is a compilation of patches that connect to create a network that continues along the river. These patches include, open space, pedestrian and cycle paths, native and pollinator vegetation and wetland areas. Some of these patches are seen in the housing development in order to create a stronger connection. This project generates spatial design solutions rather than looking at specific details by producing ideas at a larger scale.

Re-Inventing the Eastern Suburbs: Up Close & Personal Proposed Housing Development This design is part one of phase two that focuses on specific solutions for the proposed housing development, from phase one, at a smaller scale. The plan includes low and medium density housing with designated public and private spaces. A rainwater filtration system is incorporated to collect and pipe on-site water to the adjacent wetland. The native wetland plantings are detailed on the next page and provide interest when the area is not filled. The filtration system was designed to increase the sustainability on-site and visually educate residents about the process of stormwater management. Native vegetation is implemented in the medium density private space to decrease the use of fences and improve the site’s biodiversity. Public and private space configurations meet the minimum requirements in order to relocate an adequate amount of people, while still providing ample amount of open space. The street layout allows for two lane traffic and parking for the medium density housing, since the low density have parking on site. The proposed housing development offers residents, who were negatively affected by the earthquake, an opportunity to establish a new home in a sustainable environment.

Children in Nature: Robeson Elementary School Proposed Plan for School Garden Champaign, Illinois This is a final project for a class that explored theories and evidence supporting the notion that children need everyday contact with nature. The design focuses on creating an outdoor space that aims to strengthen the bond between children and nature. The site is located at an elementary school in Champaign that has access to a large amount of open space. The site includes materials that a child can easily pick up and touch, like mulch, bark, various flowers, branches, and other items. The elements are meant to encourage group and individual interaction, as well as less structured play. The space becomes a different type of classroom, where children can wander and be creative without any specific, structured guidance. Fort grove was created with the intent of providing students with access to private space and promotes individual play. The presence of a more natural element, like the play rocks, provides the opportunity for the children to experience the natural world. This allows a child’s mind to develop his or her own connection and feeling towards the earth. The design is intended to provide a break from indoors, while promoting creativity and exploration.

Between Matter and Experience: 1 Chair, 1 Light, 1 Wall / Surface, Interface The project developed from a material exploration studio that prompted the use of a skill or craft. I chose to learn how to knit using basic yarn. The instructor then challenged the class to change the material. I explored the skill using caution tape and toilet paper. We were given a specific four by four foot space in a gallery, asked to provide one chair within the space and told a light would be present at three different heights. I was directed to continue with toilet paper and knit thirty-one roles. The continuous knit was dyed with various teas and laid to dry. Two floor jacks were placed diagonally across the space that held a metal pole about ten feet high and a three-foot dowel rod was hung about seven feet high at the right end of the space, farthest from the wall. The material hung from the metal pole, the wall, and the dowel rod using yarn. A wooden chair was placed in the left corner, farthest from the wall. Reviewers experienced the space with the specified light being the only source of illumination. The perforation in the knitted toilet paper produced stimulating shadows and hindered the view of the critic.

Between Matter and Experience: Collaborative Installations Our two-member group was challenged with an unusual installation project. We were instructed to continue to develop our specific skill and construct an installation on site, previously used for an office space, in a two-week span. I knit twenty roles of toilet paper into individual pieces. I grew various types of bean sprouts in the material and watered it daily. Our group assembled a wooden frame, composed of two planes, in which I installed my design on the top plane. The growing medium was arbitrarily hung on the frame, using dowel rods and fishing line. The bottom level, created by my partner, had a layer of trace paper running across the entire structure with plastic army men placed on top and covered by an emergency blanket. We decided to turn the lights off in the room and place flashlights on the table. These allowed visitors to compose their own experience and the interpretations were not restricted by our group’s explanation of the installation.

I chose to explore tempered glass by constructing a shelving unit that is meant to be more artistic than functional. The unit is connected using brass brackets and UV glass adhesive. Tempered glass was chosen for its strength and transparency. The elegant characteristics of the piece are amplified when placed near a window or another source of light. The black box represents left over material. The shelving unit was designed through the development of study models made from a four by eight-inch piece of cardboard. Specific details, like connections and material, were addressed after the object was created.

Design in Detail: Shelter The criteria for this project was to design a shelter that can fit into a 10x20’ area, provide coverage for one to three people and the location had to be within camps boundaries. Conceptual collages were assembled to generate texture and ambiance objectives. A base map was produced in order to specify the location of the structure and additional details, like the added path. Construction documents were required to present specific details of how the structure is assembled. A model was built to further explain the appearance and specific materials. The overhang was incorporated after the shelter was designed, due to excess material. The shelter is composed of rusted steel panels for the main structure and seating. Rebar is used for the vegetation wall on the east side and the overhang on the west side. The steel panels have small slots to allow for connection to another panel and are mounted underground in a concrete block.
