I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death. -- Leonardo da Vinci

MID-TOWN DEVELOPMENT, DENVER, COLORADOThe plaza conceptually and physically shows the process in which rainwater is being both harvested and allowed to infiltrate. Rainwater that falls on the ground will be directed toward three infiltration trenches, allowing for overflow which will then be directed south toward larger infiltrations trenches. Water that falls on roof tops surrounding the plaza and above ground collectors will be harvested in underground cisterns on site. The plaza ultimately provides an informative process that allows people to visually connect the source from which the rainwater is collected to the cistern storage system.

MID-TOWN DEVELOPMENT, DENVER, COLORADO
Rooftop Rain Harvesting Diagram:
Rainwater from surrounding buildings is concentrated into underground cisterns to be utilized on site. Approximately 1,200,000 gallons per year can be collected from the six buildings surrounding the plaza.

The Western lawn of Pioneer Park slopes from southwest to northeast directing runoff into an inlet running under Wharton Road. An infiltration trench and low-flow vegetated swale are proposed to help manage the flooding to the south of the park.
Infiltration trenches are engineered stormwater conveyance systems used to treat small drainage areas. The size is calculated to infiltrate the amount of cubic feet (570 cu. ft.) per average storm (1.37 in). The overflow for the trench is directed into the low-flow vegetated swale. This feature is designed to receive runoff from the site as well as Clafflin Road, directing it back-and-forth across the site. This allows for the water to cross a greater amount of surface area thus, allowing for greater amounts of infiltration. The swale has the capacity to infiltrate approximately 1,890 cu. ft. of runoff.

Impervious surfaces account for 36,550 cu. ft. of runoff per average storm (1.37 in.)
Approximately 58,000 square feet off lawn area accounts for 10,700 pounds per year of carbon sequestration.
Proposed water infiltration practices allow for 14,650 cu. ft. of additional infiltration. (Reducing direct runoff by 40%)
Increase canopy by 40% accounts for 3,600 pounds per year of carbon sequestration. Existing- Dark Green Proposed- Light Green

Where there is shouting, there is no true knowledge. -- Leonardo da Vinci
collaboration projects
The Manhattan, Kansas Mennonite Congregation has significantly grown in membership in the past five years and are in need of facility expansion. Third year Landscape Architecture students collaborated with fifth year Architecture students on a design project to provide the congregation with a site plan that addresses interior and exterior spatial relationships.
The planting intent for the Tuttle Creek site was to put an exclamation on the Mennonite belief of being a steward for the earth. This proposal delineated areas throughout the site for yearly harvesting, allowing for the congregation to benefit from their labors and gratitude for their rewards. In addition, a majority of the layered, space defining vegetation would be either edible, or of medicinal significance. This concept is emphasized by the relative size, position and role of the edible garden to the entry drive and sanctuary.

5EXISTINGLANE 4 PROPOSAL
CITY PROPOSALPrairie Village, Kansas is faced with three key dilemmas: lack of a definitive town center, lack of housing variety, and dealing with urbanization without disrupting the seemingly successful local businesses that the local community is very fond of. These dilemmas were addressed within the selected site of Corinth Square shopping center by implementing a mixed-use plan incorporating multifamily housing. This plan utilized strategic tenant relocation through phasing in order to address the three identified dilemmas. Phasing not only addressed economic feasibility, but also allowed for cultural integration within the urbanization of suburban areas.
This project required design groups to contact and schedule meetings with the city planning department for each Kansas City suburb listed within the problem statement. Site visits and final presentations for the planning departments as well as the community were also scheduled by each design group.

LONG ISLAND INDEX DESIGN COMPETITIONGREENDUSTRY is an economic LIVE-WORK MODEL that provides the new and old community members of Port Jefferson Station with a new vision. In the redesigned downtown, individuals can become innovators in the flourishing field of green energy technologies while living nearly seconds away from home.
With the implementation of GREENDUSTRY, a new and stronger economy will create a new era resulting in a updated job market that will stimulate 25 to 34 year olds, increasing overall demographic retention. These new sustainable technology divisions will create ideas resulting from the research, manufacturing, and marketing departments of this new industry will be distributed across the island to improve the overall economy and provide individuals, families, institutions, businesses, and local agencies alike a more affordable way of life.

PROPOSED TRANSIT SYSTEMThe proposed north-south light rail takes approximately 28 minutes. Sidewalk improvements and bike lane additions strengthen car-free options.
CURRENT TRANSIT OPTIONS The existing rail system takes 3 hours to travel from Port Jefferson Station to Patchogue due to a non-direct route. It takes 33 minutes by car on Route 112. Bike and pedestrian mobility is limited.
PROPOSED LIVE-WORK SITUATIONSThe proposed local live-work centers allow for a sociable commute to and from work through means of pedestrian oriented mobility.
CURRENT LIVE-WORK DISCONNECTThose residing in Brookhaven primarily use automobiles commuting to different communities for work, thus spending time in social isolation.

Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art. -- Leonardo da Vinci

NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR WIND ENERGY, PORTLAND, ME
plaza entryway lined with seated planters
The National Institute of Wind Energy desires a plaza area for their national headquarters in Portland, Maine. The concept presented strives to represent both the NIWE and the culture of the Portland region. The idea of harnessing wind for human use is combined with ample seating in order to facilitate the three themes of the plaza.
These themes include regatta racing, visual arts, and night-life. Regatta racing combines the local culture with the act of harnessing wind for human benefit. Throughout the site sail-like structures create a sense of enclosure around secondary gathering spaces appearing to capture the wind. Each secondary space is located where wind theoretically would spiral upward as it enters a terminating space.
Visual arts and night life are represented by maximizing the seating availability for social gathering and art display. The local tradition is to set up make-shift display tables and share personal art pieces on the first Friday of every month. There are also over 2000 art shows a year held in the Portland area.
