Schuylkill River Competition: AMTRAKs main corridor through Philadelphia lies just outside Center City, on the Western bank

of the Schuylkill River. Wrapping around the station and hugging the Western bank of the River, Interstate 76 provides the city

with one of its most heavily used entries and exits for passenger vehicles. The goal was to connect the people of Philadelphia

to the waterfront by creating an alternative route for the highway.

Solution: Deck over railway and bury Interstate to provide open access to waterfront by foot. Convert AMTRAK bridge into

pedestrian bridge connecting Center City with West Philadelphia. New AMTRAK connection goes under Schuylkill River.

11th Street BriDge Location: Washington D.C.

Aerial Perspective from Navy Yard

Project Overview: two bridges built in the 1960s are being replaced with three new bridges that will separate local and freeway

traffic. The existing 11th Street Bridge has potential to become a Recreation/Pedestrian Bridge linking river trails and recreation

amenities. This is a great site to connect communities in Ward 6 with communities in Ward 8 by providing performance/public

space, art displays, environmental education, or adventure recreation.

Aerial view of Amphitheater

Solution: On the ground a multi-purpose deck connects with the bridge both by ramp and through the building. This building can be used for dining space, classes, and storage for rental bikes and boats. Exiting the building you are faced with an educational garden and an open lawn. Later comes a space for foodtrucks and a streetcar stop. After that you have a childrens play area and an amhpitheater that holds a large lighting tower to notify the community when an event is taking place.View of Multi-Use Building with Greenroof and Educational Garden

The District of Columbia contains four corners of very distinct developments: Alexandria in the South, Falls Church in the West, Silver Spring in the North providing a nice transition from suburbs to urban Washington D.C., and the Heights in the East, an area with great potential to grow and become the next Urban Go-To Place. Economically, the area has gone downhill with suburbinization; walkability score is currently a 48 making it car dependent; there are many empty lots, currently the property of the DC Housing Authority. What is present is a Metro Station, Marvin Gaye Trail across East Capitol Street, a Senior Center .3 miles away, a Community Center, and a Recreation Center, all making the Heights become an ideal candidate for improving: walkability and safety, business, and creating an entertainment site for all ages.

The three neighborhoods in D.C. have lower household incomes than that of Maryland's two neighborhoods. The proposed Walmart will provide job opportunities to residents of the community.

BACKGROUND

The District of Columbia contains four

corners of very distinct developments:

Alexandria in the South, Falls Church

in the West, Silver Spring in the

North providing a nice transition

from suburbs to urban Washington

D.C., and the Heights in the East,

an area with great potential to grow

and become the next Urban Go-To

place. Economically the area has

gone downhill due to suburbanization;

walkability is currently a 48 making

it car dependent; there are many

empty lots, currently the property of

PRESENT

Capitol Heights Metro Station,

Marvin Gaye Trail in the North, a

Senior Center, a Community Center,

a Recreation Center, and new

communities help make the Heights

an ideal candidate for improving:

walkability and safety, business, and

creating an entertainment site for all

ages.

SOLUTION

and WIDER MEDIANS

1. Remove or relocate unnecessary roads (this includes removing free right turns, 61st streets entrance to East Capitol, and relocating bus drop off). 2. Removing the third lanes and widening the medians reduces the distance covered on the street and allows for more vegetation. Street Parking is still available.3. Crosswalks to be relocated for added safety.

"Grocery stores had no fruit or vegetables"

URBAN COMMUNITY GARDENThe purpose of the community garden is to provide the community with not onlyfresh fruit and vegetables but also with the knowledge and experience of plantingyourself for those that choose to learn by volunteering. This project is one of the many ways this new urban development will bring the community together. Organicfood will be sold at the Cooperative Opportunity (Co-Op) which is located west of the Urban Community Garden.

The purpose of the community garden is to

provide the community with not only fresh fruit

and vegetables but also with the knowledge

and experience of planting yourself for those

that choose to learn by volunteering. This

project is one of many ways this new urban

developement will become a closer community.

Organic food will be sold at the Cooperative

Opportunity (Co-Op) which is located west of

the Urban Community Garden. Throughout

the garden there are yellow benches. These

benches flow throughout all of East Capitol

Gateway helping tie everything together. It will

help create a sense of place.

FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

Many simple fruits and vegetables will be

grown here like: cabbage, cucumbers,

tomatoes, carrots, lettuce, and potatoes.

BrierS mill run greenway Location: Riverdale, MD

Criteria: Use GIS to find areas of Briers Mill Run that are suitable for development. Multiple maps were created in determing these

sites including both natural and cultural features. Later, a larger map was created to determine all opportunities and constraints

located in Briers Mill Run.

Analysis: Natural features include: streams, wetlands, and waterbodies; vegetation; and parks, trails, and recreation. Cultural

features include: buildings with schools having a 1/2 mile buffer; the 11 different types of zoning; and main highways, arterials,

and connectors along with any noise barriers.

Riverdale Office Plaza

This area will focus on both natural and cultural

aspects. The design will improve the overall

quality of the area by using LID techniques

such as greenroofs, wetland restoration, and

dechannelization of the streams. The design

consists of two office buildings with a cafe

on the first floor of one building and a bar/

restaurant on the other. Along Riverdale Rd will

be a number of small retail shops allowing for

a bright future for Riverdales economy. Bike

paths are conveniently linked to the plaza to

promote a healthier future in commuting with

bikes or walking. Lunch breaks may also

include a jog through the Wetland Park.

Riverdale Community

The community lacks a central place to meet and theres no better place to create this space than across the street from the proposed

purple line Riverdale station. This proposed community will accomodate the increasing population with its multi-use residential buildings while

minimizing surface runoff with greenroofs and other LID techniques. Consists of a: community center, community plaza, mixed-use residential,

urban bike trail, and Purple Line Riverdal Station

educational facility dedicated to all things agricultural.

Analysis: Site is currently forested sloping to one corner. Neighborhoods surround the site on the West and North sides.

Solution: Include urban farming and a farmers market that the surrounding neighbors may participate in. Great location for a

farmers market since its located at the exit of the Greenbelt Metro. An orchard for fruit, an area for animals, and residential

buildings are to be included on the site.

Criteria: Select a residence and design a deck that fits the homes character. Team project responsible for producing construction documents and a scaled model of the deck with the use of a laser cutter.

Analysis: The residence selected was linear in form with only partial decking. It looked out onto Cortes Bay.

Solution: Extend the deck, with the exception of where the bedrooms sit (for privacy), adding special features: sauna, hot tub, outdoor kitchen, dining, sunbaithing, and stairs that wrap around to a fireplace.

Project: From January-March of 2013 hired as a Freelance Consultant in Vectorworks to create a library of +750 plant symbols,

light fixtures, outdoor furniture, kitchen appliances, and misc. objects that the company specifically uses on designs. The plant

symbols had a scheduled size and price associated with it that allowed for quickly generating a plant schedule. Numerous

worksheets were then created to calculate hardscape, landscape area (turf, mulch, loose stone, and perennial beds), and plant

costing with the option of separating cost by phase of development.

Example of several plant symbols (left images) and outdoor furniture (above)

created for company with 3d option. Different seating options and conversation

layouts available.

As an Assistant for Richard Sweeney Landscape Architecture, I create plans in Vectorworks Landmark and SketchUp models

for more complex designs. Only the house is built in SketchUp and the planting design is placed on top of the model using

hand rendering techniques developed by Richard Sweeney.
