Cardinal Sculpture Plaza

A sculpture plaza that meets the needs of the Ball State Student Body in an urban setting.

Design Skills Employed

Thematically this site takes its form from the “desire paths” that once crisscrossed its boundaries. Pedestrian circulation has been abstracted into a modern design thatincorporates many lines and planes similarto the ones seen in the Arts and JournalismBuilding nearby. These lines and planesgive life to otherwise static pathway mostpedestrians are used to, drawing them to the site and offering the a variety of intimate experiences.

Thematic Statement

Studio: Planting DesignLocation: Muncie, Indiana

Main Pedestrian Axis: Creation of the two paths, bisected by hawthorns, was key to help alleviate congestion seen on site.

Franklin’s Ground Squirrel:A GIS Vector Suitability Study

Potential locations for a preserve and interpretive center located in Porter County.

Design Skills Employed

For this study, three different types of data were selected from the land cover GAP data. Tall grass prairies, deciduous forest and marshes were used to locate the ideal geographic location for the Franklin’s Ground Squirrel. The final step was synthesizing this data to find a location that would be ideal for a preserve and interpretive center.

Studio: Regional PlanningLocation: Porter County, Indiana

Tall grass prairies, deciduous forest and marshes were extracted from the GAP data and exported into their own shapefiles. From here I selected tall grass prairies and deciduous forest that are five acres or more in size and marshes that are three or more acres in size. Then I selected the prairies and forest that intersected each other and finally found which of these were one mile from marshes.

Vietnam Veterans Memorial:Space + Meaning

An application designed to bring Landscape Architecture to a broader audience.

Thematic Statement

Year Three: Washington, D.C.

More info @ asla.org/2014studentawards/436.html

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial tablet app represents a collaboration among 23 students from 16 disciplines. The app synthesizes the history, design, and context of the Memorial with cultural history and current social practices. Compelling narratives with images, audio, text, video and animations, are offered, with the intent of reaching the millions who visit the Memorial each year. The intent of this app is three-fold: to increase the general public’s exposure to and understanding of contemporary designed landscapes; to raise awareness of the Memorial as a therapeutic landscape, and to tell compelling stories about the making of the Memorial, and its presence in many lives today.

Vietnam Veterans Memorial:Space + Meaning

An application designed to bring Landscape Architecture to a broader audience.

Year Three: Washington, D.C.

Home ScreenThe app’s graphic introductory screen presents the 5 major sections: the National Mall, American Culture in the Vietnam Era, the Names, Design, and Place of Connection. The timeline also appears on this page, illustrating the overlapping eras important to communicating the Memorial’s story, organized by events and processes that began before its 1982 dedication, and those that occurred afterward, through present day.

Presents the Mall at important points in its history: The Federal City, Civil War, Turn of the Century, World War II, the Bicentennial, and the New Millennium. Within each category, maps, images, and descriptions detail additions, subtractions and key events that shaped this landscape.

Uses a timeline format to explore American culture from 1945 – 1982 (the Memorial’s dedication). With 109 entries subject matter in a range of categories is presented: General War Information, Civil Rights, Women’s Rights, Anti-War Efforts, Music, Pop Culture, and the Soldier’s Experience.

the National Mall American Culture

The Design section is organized into two sections: Design (basic design terms including: ground plane, journey, connecting with history, shaping space, time, scale), and Construction (where the granite came from, how names were inscribed and much more.

The powerful connection many experience at the Wall, organized into three categories: The Names, Offerings, and Traditions. In The Names section the user can learn how to find a name and how names are arranged. The Offerings tells the history of items left at the wall.

Traces the idea of the names from the earliest thoughts of the Memorial to Dedication in 1982, when the names could be touched. The Legacy of the Names has 5 sections, sequential in time: The Spark (the genesis of the idea).
