Extreme Ecology in the Living Rock Marble Cliff Quarry closed fall 2013 due to the decrease in limestone demand. The studio question posed to what can be done to this enormous land. My group focused on the reserve typology, a landscape set apart for the protection of unique biological, zoological, or geological phenomena. The deepest part of the quarry is my group’s main focus in the quarry. The ooze, extremophiles, and ruderal vegetation all of which follows the water patterns, groundwater seepage and infusion are the main attraction to the site. Our goal is to amplify this type of typology in our design as well as exposing the water pumping process.

Creating shallow pool infrastructures of water around the deepest part of the quarry redirecting the water into these pools will create a new ecology at the bedrock surface. Currently, about five million gallons of water are being pumped out via pipe into the Scioto River.

The bottom floor of the quarry is left the same allowing the quarry to establish its own vegetation and quarry cycle. The water process will ultimately come down onto the bottom floor into the pool of water that exists at the bottom. At some point when the water reaches a certain high level and it will be pumped out into the Scioto River. With this design, a new reserve typology can establish in the unique quarry grounds.

Water Pumped to Scioto R

Marble Cliff Quarry, 2000 acres of land, located west of the Scioto River.

The northern part of the quarry is the active quarry site, whereas, the southern part is no longer active. The quarry has many micro-climates and strange ecologies.

Bringing people into the quarry to experience the man made land and explore the unique typology. Utilizing the elements, a spraying of water is used to add a misting effect to the bottom quarry as an attraction bringing people to the bottom quarry.

Adena Brook: Augmentation of Wildlife The project lies within the Olentangy Watershed in Whetstone Park. Focusing on Adena Brook, a ravine which runs through the park, augmenting the ecology for wildlife providing a place for biodiversity to thrive. Using the greenway plan as a guide to design my site and implementing more program areas for bird watching, wetlands, native vegetation, and education resulting in more biodiversity. Within a complex ecology, it is broken down to understand how it works and where to apply the design. Augmenting the existing ecology I look specifically in how to bring back American Kestrel, Eastern Screech Owl, and salamanders to the site. A drop in American Kestrel population has been seen in the past years due to development and the destruction of habitat. Having salamanders in the area will expose the need to have clean water and allow people to understand these organism more. Having a hierarchy of circulation, the tree house route allows people to be closer to wildlife and observe them from above. This allows a east and west, and north and south access point to the site.

I propose to install native plants, but not remove all the invasive species. Plants, such as Japanese Suckle, have beneficial medical properties; therefore, I suggest to harvest these invasive species in invasive garden as an act to control the population. Complementing to the more formal rose and herb garden north of the ravine, having this invasive species garden will provide an education to the public. It also creates a source of revenue for the park.

Italian Village

A depression allowing runoffs to flow into. The high point lead water both ways down or behind the path. The slope of the path allows it to be less wet when raining.

71 A manhole in the center of the depression draws in water from the surrounding area. When water fills up to a certain level, the water will start to infiltrate the manhole. It is also well hidden by the trees.

Fort Hayes

The soil is lifted up against the building creating a high point allows water to run down from the building to the path. Ultimately leading the water to a depression. This stormwater management keeps water away from the building.

The center of the ramp lets water run down from it. This keeps the ramp as dry as possible during a rain shower keeping water away from it as well as the sidewalk and the building.

Small mounds allow water to flow in different directions. This prevents pools of water to form in one area spreading out the volume of water received.

The stairs has cracks in it (maybe intentional) which creates a different path for water to travel. Ultimately, the water will seep through the cracks and flow down to the concrete surface making its way to the manhole; the steepness is noticeable.

Another stormwater management showing the different level where runoffs come from. In this case, water comes from the parking lot and from the vegetated area on the left. Water will fill up to the height of the manhole and drained, or it will become a temporary pool of water.

The vegetated stormwater basin catches the runoffs allowing water to fill. When the water is up to a certain level, it will flow over to the other side or vice-versa creating a pool of water.

This shallow rocky stormwater basin catches runoffs and act as a filter filtering out sediments before flowing into the vegetated stormwater basin (as indicated above). The hierarchy of stormwater management allows for cleaner water to drain into the drainage.
