LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO
AMYUENO
Landscape architecture is my passion because it is the very environment we live in. Landscapes evoke emotion and impact our senses, whether you are a designer or not. It is exciting to think that depending on spatial organization of our environment, the feeling and experience changes. I also believe that ecologically responsible and environmentally healthy design enhances our lives. I love to experiment, create, and learn. Conversations about landscape architecture through interdisciplinary work, engaging in international projects, and my never-ending curiosity of the world fuel my growth as a designer.-AMYUENO

Eugene is an eclectic mix of young college town, urban fabric, and ecological habitats. However, these elements currently exist without any relation to each other, and circulation and movement among these places is diffi cult despite the close proximity to each other. This 24-student collaboration reimagines Eugene as a cohesive piece, while recognizing and enhancing the riparian habitat on the Willamette River.

Too often when people hear the word “density”, they think of concrete jungles and tall skyscrapers. Metro’s Transit Oriented Development program and Nature in Neighborhoods program have come together to demonstrate that vibrant, dense development on a real site can provide green amenities and sustainable building features and infrastructure that benefi t people, fi sh, and other wildlife. This multi-disciplinary collaboration showcases applications of low impact, or nature-friendly, development practices in a highly urban setting for built structures, stormwater management and natural spaces. “Green” density is possible.

Winter 2010
The SAIF Corporation came to our studio seeking design help on their one acre courtyard. The 200 employee offi ce requested a safe, sustainable, and aesthetic space while preserving the existing 300 year Oregon White Oak. The project accomplishes these tasks while focusing on clear circulation, craftsmanship, and the blending of architectural and landscape space.

Kellogg Lake resembles a natural and social clog, where polluted stagnant water sits, people cannot access, and native vegetation is overwhelmed. This urban public park with lightrail transit breaks up and releases this congestion to create a healthy fl ow of water, habitat and people through the Milwaukie’s urban core. Refl ecting on Milwaukie’s unique and rich history allows us to move forward. This project is the next chapter in Milwaukie’s future as a vibrant and healthy community.

ABOVEIn addition to collaborating with the City of Milwaukie, I hosted Open House sessions. Data collection through surveys and conversing directly with the community members helped shape my design and was a very rewarding part of the design process.

Design is a language that has no borders. Our diverse group consisting of landscape architects, planners, and architects from University of Oregon brought fresh ideas to the historical city of Kyoto. The design team studied local culture and tradition, and merged it with modern ecological technology and aesthetic.

Our project titled “Salute da Zingonia” means “Health to Zingonia” in Italian. It is also a play on words from the phrase “Saluti da Zingonia”, which means “Welcome to Zingonia”. To research landscape identity, cognative maps on postcards were created by children in the local schools. Later, the postcard concept was carried through to the PR and advertising branch of the Zingonia project.

The seed was planted for a vision for Zingonia as a sustainable, integrated, and democratic community in Bergamo, Italy. This intensive one-week workshop jointly with the City of Verdellino Planning Department has helped catalyze new initiatives and opportunities for the requalifi cation and re-invention of Zingonia. Our research included studies of new towns (i.e. Zingonia), and also included an town branding component.
