Adena Brook: Augmentation of Wildlife The project lies within the Olentangy Watershed in Whetstone Park focusing on Adena Brook which runs through. Using the greenway plan as a guide to design my site implementing more areas for bird watching, wetlands, native vegetation, and education resulting in more biodiversity. I am proposing to install native plants, and not remove all the invasive species. Plants, such as Japanese Suckle, have beneficial medical properties; therefore, I suggest it gets harvest creating a source of income which controls the invasive population.

Hudson Yards’s location is in New York City. It is the site where the trains are stationed with the high lines encircling the site from above. Using the NYC 2030 plan, our group focuses on transforming the site into an attractive and sustainable urban area. Also a connection to the waterfront was required. Fabricating this large site requires special attention to the NYC 2030 plan and its plan for the growth of the city.

Godman Guild Association
High St
The goal is to compare the similarities at two different sites, Thompson Park and Godman Guild, with each member focusing on a variety of physical and social relationship. My concentration is the social relationship between bees, the environment, and humans. The importance of their involvement in the pollination cycle is addressed.

Challenges of the Bee Pollination Cycle Abstract Diagram Bees have many predators ranging from birds to large insects and spiders. Bee #1
Bee #1 did not escape the predator resulting in death. Pollination cycle ends.
Predator in sight; swats back and forth.

3D Modeling: AutoCAD 3D These renderings are from AutoCAD Using the 3D function. The goal of the project is to present the materials on the object, in this case the bench, within a space. Adding and using different lighting techniques to illustrate the light and shadow effect. Capturing the essence of the dogfriendly park and their interaction with the environment is the secondary task.

3D Modeling: Revit Architecture 2012 Revit Architecture 2012 generated these renderings of a apartment. The objective of the project is to learn and understand the interface of the software. Starting with generic materials and advancing to adding materials as well as modifying. Also learning how to create schedules, furniture, and outdoor objects.
