BACKGROUND T
he following is a collection of work and ideas completed during my studies as a BSLA student at Temple University. I grew up exploring the native Pennsylvania woodlands adjacent to my parents’ property, and traveling around the United States experiencing various geographic and cultural regions. My experiences as a youth, coupled with my education, have sculpted my current love for nature and design, and my future aspirations for a professional career in Landscape Architecture. As a recent graduate, my primary interests lie in the design of educational play environments, net zero impact construction and urban storm water management.

TROY’S URBAN WATERFRONT Troy, NY
T
roy’s Urban Waterfront came about through a 10,000 dollar grant from the city of Troy New York to explore redevelopment options for its waterfront. The project was conducted in groups of 6, and took place over 16 weeks. It incorporated case studies, inventory and analysis, design, and the production of a 376 page book. The plan addresses traffic patterns, pedestrian circulation and green infrastructure issues currently in place at the design site. A visitor’s center, located beneath artists lawn will be the new meeting place of Troy. Re-vitalization of the of existing industrial buildings for commercial space will bring economic development opportunities to the site. Implementation of green infrastructure such as tree trenches, and pervious paving deals with all storm water management issues. Also included are plazas, a spray ground, play ground, stage, and amphitheater. The space uses a blend of modern and historic materials, cohesive plantings and furnishings tie the site with the existing architecture.

Through the early and mid portions of the 20th century the United States was plagued by manufacturing. Since then, the post industrial era and the subsequent influx of a service based economy has left many of these areas unpopulated and impoverished. Being as Troy is one of these cities, the design incorporates features to combat these issues.

DOWNTOWN CIRCULATION
VEHICULAR CIRCULATION
Troy has a network of streets that are generally laid out on a grid with many one-way streets. Downtown Troy is a very walkable place. This is a tremendous benefit to Troy as so many people are gravitating towards the vitality and convenience of a walkable city.

ASPHALT TO GREEN SPACE
Bordentown, NJ
T
his project, located in Bordentown NJ consisted of a combination school yard, and associated community park design. The goal was to design a sustainable, interactive schoolyard focused around interactive play, and neighborhood engagement for children. The incorporation of nature into a learning environment is a priceless addition to a child’s life. This design incorporates that concept, while also integrating active and imaginative play spaces. A similar goal is maintained within the Annex property, the design of which includes a community garden, wetland area, and t-ball field. The realization of these goals, will hopefully inspire the community to pursue further related projects.

BOOK PRODUCTION After completing the design project, the class then began the process of assembling the semesters work into a book, which has recently been published. I was one of three team leaders responsible for layout, editing, and coordinating the production of the book Asphalt to Green Space - Clara Barton Eco Schoolyard, which can be found here (http://issuu.com/zoeboothe-jarrett/docs/ asphalt_to_green_space._clara_barto).

CONNECTIONS The Clara Barton School (CBES) is 1/4 mile from Bordentown’s downtown area. The close proximity makes the walk between CBES, the garden annex and local shops and businesses easy. CBES is centrally located and within 1/4 - 1/2 mile from vicinity green spaces in Bordentown.

The plan of the proposed design meets the goals and objectives that were set for the school yard and annex sites. This includes space for educational, active play, and leisure activities within both sites. Included were multiple features focused on storm water management such as a wetland and a cistern which many will use water from within the community garden. The community garden, the focus of the annex space, includes a composting facility, and tool shed. Overall the intent was to create a well designed and interactive space that will be used by the community.

AMBLER LIBRARY PLAZA Ambler, PA
T
he project consisted of a redesign of the existing Library’s entrance plaza, focusing on construction documentation methods, materials selection, and space functionality. The proposed design will broaden the usage of the space in hopes that students will utilize it for more than a place of transit and/or smoking, as they do currently. Accommodations have been made for students wishing to relax, eat, study, smoke, lock up their bike and even hold group meetings. This was done by creating a multitude of differing spaces within an area of high traffic, that can all be adapted by the user for however they see fit. Care was taken to match existing campus aesthetics and amenities to allow for a seamless integration.

PHILADELPHIA FLOWER SHOW Philadelphia, PA
T
he Junior year Design Build Studio began with conceptual design, moving to construction drawings, and culminating with the build process. The concept for the project was focused around the PHS show theme of ARTiculture, but with a definite twist from what one would expect. Tamanend’s Track, is a journey through the complex interconnectedness of what is; the illusory tranquility of what was; and an exploration of what could be again through ecological restoration. This in turn breaks the exhibit down into three sections. The tangle, being a representation of life in the modern world, the retreat, depicting what true tranquility once was and could be, and the mend, which shows the processes of ecological restoration in action.
RETREAT: Escape the hustle and bustle of the city, and enjoy the serenity nature has to offer.
TANGLE: Depicting the Industry, Pollution, and chaos many of us find in our daily lives.
42
ZOE BOOTHE-JARRETT - PORTFOLIO
THE TANGLE Pipes, wires, and vines engulf the entrance to the exhibit, creating a sense of industrialism. Many of the items were reused, including pipes, lumber, brick, CMU’s, and wires. What did not already have a patina, rust, or dirt on it, was made to look worn. This served to build the experience of walking through a dilapidated post industrial world.
MEND: Restoration, the end “product”, or the landscape reverted to its original state.
43
PIPES - PIPES - MORE - PIPES Within the Tangle portion of the exhibit, pipes became a theme, and ultimately a metaphor for chaos and pollution. This was displayed through the entanglement of pipes on the walls and overhead, as well as in the brown water that spewed from them.
