The Feed + Seed is right at the expansion of the Swamp Rabbit Trail, which provides a great opportunity to intergrate bicycle transportation with urban farm. It offers health, environment and economic benefits while also contributing to the community involvement.

URBAN AGRICULTURE

S t r a t e gy

F r a m e w o r k Pathway Strategy: Curve the pathway for cyclists along different program.

Entrance Strategy: More entrance from Swamp Rabbit Trail to Feed + Seed Farm.

Hierarchy Strategy: Two vibrant public space in 5.5 acre farm.

Our design intergrates the landscape architecture and architecture, and solves the food crisis problem in the upstate of South Carolina in en educational way.

The Feed + Seed building will be complexity functional, mainly works as a grocery store and Cafe. 5.5-acre farm on the back of the building will provide local farmers and students examples of different farming method.

Sandhill Campus conceptual trail design

Year Location Advisor

2013 Fall Columbia, SC Mary Beth Mccubbin

As the area has grown and changed, the focus of Sandhill REC has also evolved to better meet the needs of the community. As part of a commitment to the local community, the University has allowed public access to the site for daily recreation activities as well as special events—including fairs, markets, and sporting events. Building on the historic farm landscape and the history of research on the site, this system provides a variety of experiences through experimental pine plantations and orchards, wetlands, riparian and lake ecosystems. New sensory gardens have been suggested, the play area renewed and enlarged, and sculpture integrated into the landscape to attract more people and encourage them to stay for longer periods.

Graniteville Downtown Renovation

Year Location Advisor

2014 Summer Graniteville, SC Mary Beth Mccubbin

The central Mill District will be a mixed-use area including restaurants, retail and entertainment with a potential for residential use as well. The creek and canal can be used for kayaks and paddle boards, with launch sites placed throughout the trail system. The location is within easy walking distance of many Graniteville residents and a short bike ride from neighboring communities.

URBAN DESIGN for Muttrah, Oman

Year Location

2014 Spring Muttrah, Oman

Muttrah, located near the ocean, is a well-developed city in Oman, it has a density and organic urban form. In this project, the site is much more empty and undeveloped. The urban design here will be consistent with the downtown area but more sustainable for the environment and economy. A greenbelt will be built in this interconnected design.

The goal is to protect natural and semi-natural environments, improve air quality within urban areas, ensure that urban dwellers have access to countryside, with consequent educational and recreational opportunities, and protect the unique character of rural communities that might otherwise be absorbed by expanding suburbs.
