My design process is to engage in understanding the pattern of the landscape’s elements as they are depicted physically through space and time. Through appropriate design thinking, design methods and creative management this approach creates long-term value. In this way, it is possible to address problems and considerations which are presently neglected. Additionally, innovative design solutions used in landscapes I have designed create experiences touching users on a life-long emotional level.

GREEN WEAVER ECO-VILLAGE
Balancing Conservation with Economic Development Brunswick County, NC Year: 2017 (Team project in master plan planning) Project Type: Agriculture, Rural Development Client: The Gore Family is in collaboration with North Carolina College of Agriculture and Life Science Instructors: Andrew Fox, David Hill My Role: Site study, program design & design detail
THE VISION
GREEN WEAVER ECO-VILLAGE is a unique project that weaves development as harmlessly as possible into the landscape so that it functions as one continuous fabric. The vision is to create a model of a highly sustainable, self-reliant community that preserves the area’s rural character and natural resources, but embraces 21st century technology and research. HOW IS THIS ACHIEVED? • Partnerships between local government, private landowners and conservation organizations • Higher-density lots on less acreage so more space can be dedicated to productive conservation • Shared amenities and open space that are walkable, bikable and accessible and connect with existing greenway systems within Brunswick County • Productive conservation through + Conservation easements + Productive Longleaf Pine stands + Leased agricultural fields on prime farmland + A boutique bed and breakfast village + CSAs and Farm to Fork events + Farmer’s market + Native restoration projects that will contribute to a native plant nursery that includes Venus Fly Traps • Unique commercial village that brings in local artists and craftsmen, small business owners and breweries/restaurants and anchors site to Hwy 17

Aging Population • The number of seniors age 55+ will have increased 217% between the years 2000 to 2030.
• By connecting the proposed trails and expanding existing trails, we can encourage people to visit the site and other potential adjacent destinations not only by car, but also by foot and bike. In this way natural characteristics of the site and it's surroundings will be preserved. Meanwhile people will be persuaded to experience access to the existing on-site fresh food and water resources. These methods will lay the foundation for future development.

CONSERVATION
• Conservation easements allow landowners to preserve open spaces and protect wildlife habitats, heritage sites, forests, or farmlands for the long-term public good. • Undeveloped lands can take various forms, including parks, recreation spaces, greenways, and farms. Those spaces can enhance the property value by selling the picture of "sharing backyard" in the livable communities.

ORGANIZING ELEMENTS • Clusters of development around the winding road act as a scenic byway through the site to maintain slow traffic speeds. • Dense, sustainable, mixed-use development preserves 70-80% of open space, vistas, prime farmland, biodiverse habitats, and rural character. Residential villages shared greenway backyard

The plaza is designed to be an iconic public space serving as a catalyst for increased occupancy and phased development, which begins with Battery Tower - a mixed-use residential/office tower built atop the redesigned MARTA station. Together with residents of Battery Townes – luxury townhouses along the south boundary of the plaza - Battery Tower sows the seeds of community ownership, insuring the plaza fulfills its role as a central civic space.

DOROTHEA DIX ART CENTER
SITE ANALYSIS
Dorothea Dix Park Raleigh, NC
Year: 2015 Project Type: Site Design, Art Center Site Size: Overall: 7.5 Acres / Art Center: 5 Acres Instructors: Carla Delcambre, Kofi Boone
Dorothea Dix, historically known as North Carolina's state owned mental hospital near the heart of downtown Raleigh, represents a spirit towards the role of the landscape in healing physically and mentally.
SITE
Connection to east of historic district and north of green spaces.
SITE ANALYSIS
The Site
Existing Parking
For a century Dorothea Dix served the community and patients through the outdoor activities provided on site. Whereas the height of the skyscrapers downtown give downtown social significance within the context of Raleigh - the elevation of the site I chose within the Dorothea Dix Hospital campus proposes an equivalent social significance amongst its surroundings.

DESIGN CONCEPT
I integrated my chosen site into the proposed green spaces for the Dorothea Dix Art Center by successfully maintaining the standard of health and activity that preexists in the surrounding greenway and bike system through newly proposed trails. This allows Raleigh's citizens to embrace the landscape and history of the historic district that was once Dorothea Dix Hospital through walking and bike access. By centralizing the building footprint on the property a focused gathering space was formed. This focused space serves as the central "hub" and most active area for people to meet, sit and visit the proposed art center.
