URBAN GREENBELT
Within the Sonoran desert biome, Phoenix, Arizona demostrates
the future opportunities in modern urban devel-opment. With the
accelerating rate of population growth, a paradigm shift of
socio-economics and culture merge, establishing the vast approach
of urban ecological networks, reducing carbon emissions and
intiating resilient sus-tainable communities. The context remains a
unique site with various markets, historical landmarks, diverse
neigh-borhoods, industrial activities and connecting major
transporatation routes. The possibility of a high-speed rail system
near Sky Harbor International Airport will connect from Los Angeles
to major eastern U.S. cities, increasing economic prosperity and
long-term environmental planning. Collaboration: Christine

The Mansour residence elaborate the intricacy of a home site
where family outdoor activity and spatial connectivity with nature
generates a space that improves the viablity of the neighbor-hood.
The client conveyed the idea of a paved driveway, a raised planting
bed at front entrance, backyard putting green, a pergola for food
and entertainment, vegetable garden beds, a rama-da with firepit, a
volleyball court, and the family 4 car/RV garage. These elements of
programs presented a unique way of fullfilling the clients desires
that meet their innovative character of home. An Ironwood tree at
the final conceptual design became a family icon of nature.
