The site is located in theBussey Brook Meadow, nearthe Harvard Arboretum in Boston,MA. It features a meadow, a brook and a dense forest canopy that are scattered over the site. The concept of the design was to redistribute the courant of the brook in order to create a new topography that would stitch the existing landscape together and form a diversed megalithic garden.

The idea behind this design isto use an industrial site andsustainably transform it intoa new landscape that wouldhost the Jamaica Bay refuge,which is threatened by maritime submergion as a result of an alarming sea level rise. The design is also intended to achieve many environmental objectives likeprovide flood control andcoastal protection, along with cleaning the soil and water of the Gowanus Bay.

ENVIRONMENTAL OBJECTIVES OF DESIGN{SEQUENTIAL SECTION}
The site is the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway in Boston. Our project was to design and transform three parcels of the greenway that arecurrently unused. My design consists of transforming the parcels into small gardensthat merge both gardens andurban agriculture that can beopen and used by the public. Harvests can also be soldin a small Farmer’s Market that can be located on the parcels.

The concept of this designis to sustainably transformclosed landfills that are currently margined lands into botanical parks that would be functional for thepublic while simultaneously protect the IcelandicEnvironmental heritage. Thisdesign also aims to overcome the severe deforestation situation thatIceland suffers from by also using these botanical parksas nurseries or forests where native Icelandic trees can be planted.
