I am an MLA graduate aspiring to advance my design skills and creativity through professional practice. With the future goal of licensure, I am eager to find a home with a firm which fosters individual growth through new opportunities and provides a mentoring environment to promote personal achievement.

I am drawn toward smart, ecologically sound design that cultivates positive change within the environment. I believe great design breaks convention and proposes new paradigms for valuing, experiencing and understanding landscapes.

LA 8201 STUDIO: Professional Award of Excellence

During the fall semester of 2012 the graduate studio I participated in, LA 8201 Everywhere Nowhere was recognized for our work by the Minnesota chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects. I am very pleased to have been part of this graduate design studio. Our Professor Matthew Tucker submitted our work related to the Duwamish River Valley in Seattle, WA. in the Professional Unbuilt Works category. There were 26 professional entries, but myself and the other graduate students received the Award of Excellence surpassing other professional design firms. Within this portfolio, Pioneer Bay is the project that I worked on individually which is part of a larger framework of group collaboration and analysis that helped make the LA 8201 studio so successful. In addition to this work, there was an earlier site visit where each student documented various paradigms of the river valley by making a short video which can be seen here http://vimeopro.com/professortucker/la8201duwamish-site-visit. The collaborative portfolio can also be viewed by following this link: http://issuu.com/professortucker/docs/2013_la8201_duwamish_executive_summary

Concept Plan

Perkins + Will was commissioned for a small plaza by a non-profit organization Be The Match. Located in downtown Minneapolis next to Target Field, the site offered an active urban setting that would be seen from ground level, as well as above from an elevated rail platform.

The concept was based on a sunken plaza that echoed the organizations logo. Site modeling and concept renderings were done using Revit Architecture.

Sea[ing] ChangeAdapting to SLR Along the North Embarcadero

Sea Level Rise is affecting urban waterfronts across the globe. The result of rising tides in urban landscapes has brought to light a need for flexible infrastructures and is changing our perceptions of how these spaces should be used. The threat of sea level rise is real, but San Diegans are at a crossroads. There is a great opportunity to be proactive rather than reactive to dangers of SLR that lie ahead.

Sea[ing] Change is a project that proposes to dramatically impact The North Embarcadero. As a catalyst for renewed ecologies, the design couples a coastal defense infrastructure, people and economic opportunities in order to transform San Diego’s North Embarcadero urban bay-front into a resilient waterfront.

San Diego Bay’s rising tides are expected to reach 18 inches above sea level by the year 2050 and nearly 5 feet by 2100. The North Embarcadero, which is a civic amenity and vital economic asset is in jeopardy of continual flooding and the potential for complete inundation within only a few generations. The current bay front is a highly developed edge that has limited the shorelines ability to adapt and flex with changing sea levels. As a result, [Sea]ing Change suggests a new waterfront experience which couples ecology and public space to rehabilitate ecological function, connect people to place and generate new economic opportunities.

02

SLR18” @20505’ @2100

Project Site

The North Embarcadero is highly susceptible to inundation as a result of sea level rise. The hardened edges that line this urban waterfront lack the flexibility to adapt to rise seas and storm surges. Therefore, in the extreme 2100 scenario much of the existing waterfront would become permanently inundated by sea water. This thought should greatly challenge the existing paradigm of flood protection and allow for resilient strategies to protect the waterfront.

Project Site

Access to the North Embarcadero is daunting due to wide streets that give vehicles the primary right-of-way. Broadway Avenue which is thought of a gateway to the waterfront from the core of downtown is massively wide and only recently is under construction to make access more pedestrian friendly. Due to impervious surfaces, very limited road setbacks and a lack of quality public space, the waterfront feels empty and repetitive. Offering more or less, views outward and limiting user experiences along the promenade.

Port control over much of the promenade has left the public amenity largely unattractive. A variety of quality pedestrian spaces are loosely linked together and appeal to tourism more than build a regional character that can be identified with San Diego as a world-class waterfront.

North Harbor Drive’s real estate occupies significant space that becomes underutilized roadway and severely deteriorates user experiences.

The Embarcadero is an urban waterfront that is host to a range of commercial activity. Various marinas and maritime port activities take place on a daily basis which all contribute to pollution that has impacted the waterfront. But the bay has been receiving restoration efforts that have improved Eel Grass Beds and recent research has shown that re-populating the native Olympia Oyster has been successful in test sites.

Target Wetland Species

Aquatic Species Transition: deep to shallow

Living shoreline projects create important buffer areas between land and sea. Through the re-establishment of native vegetation within the transition zone of intertidal habitat, the horizontal levee provides critical flood protection at roughly half the cost of a traditional levee system.

Due to space requirements, bay bathymetry and the limited number of large vessels needing direct access to the crescent area of the North Embarcadero, the horizontal levee provides an opportunity to significantly improve bay ecology through the reintroduction of targeted wetland species. Further, this flood protection infrastructure serves as new green space for the Little Italy neighborhood, as well as increasing a larger connection to the waterfront.

ISLAND STATION//National Urban Park

During St. Paul’s industrial boom of the late 1800’s, the back channel forming Island Station was filled, leaving a peninsula extending from the Mississippi’s shore. The site served as a coal power plant until being decommissioned in the early 1980’s and despite several failing attempts for reuse, the facility and land has sat derelict for over 20 years.

While recognizing that the upper Mississippi River is also protected as a national park, the hypothetical client became the National Park Service and with a close proximity to downtown St. Paul, the design approach was to envision a public landscape that was attuned to the river’s hydrology, provide critical floodplain forest and also generate an unprecedented urban park. The design intent therefore capitalizes on the landforms qualities by providing a new feature building located on the point of the peninsula. As a National Park, the facility would serve recreational visitors, as well as house the NPS and local DNR staff.

Island Station’s new NPS building activates the Mississippi River’s shore on a late foggy morning from its glowing interior as a father and son paddle across shimmery water to catch a glimpse of a Bald Eagle who happened to be fishing.

As an urban national park, the Mississippi sees a renewed winter interest for recreation. The ice and snow that cover the back channel of the peninsula create a seasonal extension of park land which becomes used for snow shoeing and cross country skiing.

AIRFIELD ECOLOGY//Reclaiming a Wetland Landscape

st. paul, mn

contamination hot spots

wetland portals portals and pathways

existing runways

Air Field Ecology was part of a larger framework for transforming several sites along the Mississippi River from St. Paul, Minnesota to Prescott, Wisconsin that were neither sustainable or economically valuable. Initially this multi-phase project began in groups to identify several areas of opportunity along the river and later worked individually to design a specific site.

In a complex industrial corridor with many ecological components, my design proposal was focused on Holman Field which is a small airport located just across the river from downtown St. Paul. The airfield resides in a former wetland that had been filled with dredged materials by the Army Corps of Engineers and no longer has a meaningful interaction with the river.

Due to years of jet fuel leaks and other chemical pollution, the site is littered with hot spots of contamination. As a response to this, my design called for the removal of the contaminants and the utilization of the excavation pits as portals that would allow for a unique human and water interaction. Many of the runways have been re-purposed as the connecting pathways within this newly created/restored wetland, serving as a reminder of this landscape’s past.

04

Water Experience Portals

Created WetlandsMigratory Bird Habitat

“Portals” where contaminated soil once existed has become a feature component of the newly created wetlands. A system of catwalks and re-purposed runways from the former airfield offer a human scale connection to each portal where the regions natural hydrology is represented through fluctuating water levels.

Within the wetland, water is celebrated as people embrace the rain and experience this landscape in a new way. High water has spilled over the edge of the distant portal making for a dramatic affect while blurring the lines between occupiable space and habitat.

The lower Duwamish waterway of Seattle, WA. is an urban landscape that has experienced tremendous change. The waterway today is now home to heavy industry and has been channelized from a 19 mile river into a mere 7 mile industrial waterway that supports manufacturing and freight shipping.

With it’s current status as an EPA superfund site, this landscape has several critical challenges which led to my design on the waterfront. Pioneer Bay is an extension of the Pioneer Square neighborhood located just north of the mouth of the Duwamish. Characterized by a strong arts community and a need for public space and affordable housing, Pioneer Bay utilizes Seattle’s iconic pier form vocabulary to develop a new waterfront community centered around mixed use, community activity and a pedestrian scale.

The space between the two piers form a slip that serves as an opportunity for stormwater management while becoming a contemporary public green space. With water as a central component to the community’s design, the project offers several water-touch moments and vistas out onto Elliot Bay.

SITE CONCEPT PLAN

Stormwater management becomes highlighted as an activated public space. Here vegetation lines a public promenade to Elliot Bay where people engage in their community. This space redefines traditional notions of stormwater by captivating attention through vegetation.

The transformation of existing Port of Seattle land provides opportunities for neighborhoods to reconnect by breaking the barriers of industrial infrastructure. Mixed-use neighborhoods with walkable green streets reaffirm place and provide a stage for social interaction.

Capitalizing on waterfront access, residents and visitors are delighted with spectacular vistas. Reworking former industrial piers has provided for leisure and recreational space along Seattle’s iconic Elliot Bay.

Through the removal of a deteriorated seawall, Elliot Bay’s waterfront recaptures a lost shoreline. Tidal flats create pocket pools which mitigate water pollution and also provide the backdrop for a playful scene while reconnecting wildlife to this former industrial landscape.
