JAPANESE CULTURAL & COMMUNITY CENTER(JCCCW) DESIGN BUILD 2014Undergraduate Landscape Architecture Capstone Class of June 2014Date: Winter of 2013 to Spring of 2014Professor: Daniel Winterbottom TA: Scott Boetjer, Jerry WatsonStudents: Biruk Belay, Chiu-Hau Chang, Janice Chen, Cami Culbertson, Ann Dinthongsai, Machiyo Fujii, Graham Golbuff, Brando Reece-Gomez, Tako Hsu, Lindsey Gadbois, Eunice Lo, Caitlyn Lockheart, Zhou Shaoxuan, Xiaoyang, Alyse Wright, Jun Zhang

Japanese American Culture in the U.S. has a rich history. For this design build we worked with the JCCCW community to design an outdoor garden that would honor three generations of Japanese Americans but also welcome future generations and people of all cultures into their community. Programatic requirements included a flexible gathering space for outdoor classrooms, performances, and cultural celebrations.

Design & Concept Construction Planting

Kintsugi is the Japanese art form of repairing pottery with gold lacquer. The importance lies within understanding the piece is more beautiful for having been broken.

FINAL MASTER PLANJCCCW DESIGN BUILD 2014Plan Rendering: Ann Dinthongsai

Originally we wanted the garden to be ADA accessable for the elderly in the community. However a deciding number of factors made this impossible, including budget, grading, and space. This is our final master plan for construction.

Many details from the original construction set had to be taken out or modified for the final set. Specificaly I had worked on the stage and stair details, ADA boardwalk (taken out), and rain garden details. I also worked on the as built documents at the end.

Shelter and Stage

Cherry Blossom Mound and Plaza

Winter quarter of 2013 our design build studio came up with four schematic garden designs. Each team built a model to better convey our ideas.

Our Garden of Mending design was inspired by the japanese artform of Kintsugi. We were inspired by the Japanese term Wabi Sabi to create a reflective and natural atmosphere with plants and textures of wood and stone.

CROATIA THERAPEUTIC GARDENDESIGN BUILD 2012

Fall of 2012 Professor Daniel Winterbottom took a group of sixteen students to the rural Island of Rab located along the Croatian coast. We worked to design and build a therapeutic garden for the largest psychiatric hospital in Croatia within a span of 3 months. The island of Rab has a culture that lags behind modern times. Salty ocean air is blown by strong breezes through olive and lavender fields, while stone and plaster buildings are capped with red tiled roofs. Sheep, chickens, donkeys, and feral cats litter the island.

MCNEIL ISLAND THERAPEUTIC LANDSCAPESStudio Fall 2013Instructor: Ken Yocom, Jerry WatsonDesign Team: Ann Dinthongsai, and Malda Takieddine

April 2011 McNeil Island the oldest prison facility in the Pacific Northwest shut down. Our proposal for reuse of McNeil island explored the possibility of creating a new community that focused on mental health research and rehabilitation. We proposed a therapeutic loop around the island to key destinations that provide a variety of mental and physical experiences.

Through extensive research on the psychological impact that natural landscapes have on human health and recovery, we came up with a toolkit for understanding and defining therapeutic landscapes.

The origional threshold onto McNeil Island was a stern prison faciliy. We re-imagined it into one of health, innovation, and research.

This high point along the therapeutic loop is important in helping patients reflect beyond themselves. Taking advantage of the grassy rolling hills, a few meandering paths and simple shelters allow views of South Puget Sound.

MADISON VALLEY STORMWATER PARK CONSTRUCTION SETDesign Implementation Spring 2012Instructors: Julie Parrett and Ben SpencerDesign Team: Biruk Belay, Ann Dinthongsai, Eunice Lo

Madison Valley Stormwater Park is the lowest point in Seattle. Our challenge was to design a functional public park that could also withstand high volumes of stormwater. We worked on developing autocad skills and completed a set of construction documents. Below is a selection of the drawings that I worked on including the layout plan, materials plan, and planting plan.

Urban greenways in Lake City can create safe cooridors, and provide areas to interact, learn, and play. Many streams used to flow over Lake City where salmon have used its tributaries to travel. Simularly greenways can become tributaries for the community.

NATURAL PROCESS STUDIOMONTLAKE ORCHARDNatural Process Studio Spring 2012Instructors: Julie Johnson and Ken YocomDesigner: Ann Dinthongsai

Stormwater becomes a major issue with the construction of the new 520 freeway pass over the old MOHAI (Museum of Modern Insdustry) site located in east of Lake Union in Seattle, WA. As a studio our objective was to integrate natural processes into the landscape that would treat water as it entered Lake Washington. We also needed to provide multiple programs for people and habitat.

MINIATURE GARDENSA STUDY OF SPACE

Projects inspired by Janit Calvo author of ‘Gardening in Miniature’. Creating miniature gardens inside of containers allows the user a sense of control over an imagined space. Results offer instant gratification.
