DESCRIPTION
Landscape FolioTRANSCRIPT
Joey Hays 2014
A generalist at heart, my interests in landscape architecture build
from a foundation in construction, sculpture, math and photography.
From a background making small scale gardens and well crafted
details, my interests now include regional scale planning and urban
infrastructure along with the maintenance practices that inform them.
I believe landscape architects can reframe challenges as opportunities
by understanding the social and environmental context of each site as
simultaneously unique and part of a larger story.

The micro-topography of the ground plane and spatial arrangement of urban groves define the
distinct market rooms that attract a broadened public who knit the social fabric that anchors
access to local healthy food as the new civic and regional identity for Charlottesville.
Strategic infrastructural placement requires neighbors to share spaces.

Located on the Scioto river
across from downtown Columbus,
the site sits on the edge of an
earthen levee and levee wall.
The garden features a memorial
wall, drawn from the existing
geology of the region creating
a timeless icon embedded with
engravings from the Ohio military’s
significant moments in history.
The wall wraps around a memorial
grove, where a variety of oaks
symbolize the strength of the
military branches while providing
a place for quiet contemplation.

Level areas carved into the accessible
slopes provide a variety of spaces to
relax, eat local produce, drink beer,
watch an event, or learn something at
the environmental education center.
A product of over 200 community
meetings, the competition focused
on four major goals: connecting the
communities on either side, promoting
public health, engaging with the
river, and economic development.

MELTING, 2002
500 peeled crayons are loaded into
the top funnel. A hot plate within the
pedestal melts the crayons, allowing the
stream of wax to pour down a funnel
and out the exterior pipe, cooling into a
solid mass in the steel tray below.
Opposite:
EROSION, 2001
Salt blocks erode down a steel tray
into a vessel below. As rain fills
the vessel and evaporates, the salt
remains and rebuilds itself. The
cycle of state changes defines the
project. Rain switching from vapor
to liquid to vapor drives the salt
changes from solid to liquid to solid.

indoor/outdoor gardening with
rainwater storage for gardening

Our team consisted of three
art students, one architecture
liaison and one art faculty.
As a grad assistant, my roles included
design consultation, poster design
and presentation, model making,
fabrication, installation in DC and
reinstallation at Powdermill Nature
Reserve where the house serves as
educational classroom, scientific
laboratory and demonstration center.
An international design build

A collaboration with robotic artist
Gregory Witt, Green Roof Roller
Coaster was one of eleven BigBots
chosen to be part of Robot250, a city-
wide community art and technology
program designed to challenge public
perception about what defines a robot.
Based loosely on bad science - that
plant’s feelings can be monitored
through the electrical conductivity in
their leaves, Green Roof Roller Coaster
uses a wireless signal from the plants
in the cars to a micro controller that
sends them on a ride when the levels
stabilize or they become “bored”.
Gregory Witt is largely responsible
for the design. Fabrication was shared
equally aside from CAD drawings,
programming and wireless controls.
A roller coaster to entertain
plants offers an absurd
spectacle for visitors.

In the 1890s Pittsburgh city engineers
thought it was more economical to
combine sewer and storm water into
one pipe and carry it directly to the
rivers to reduce disease and flooding.
In the 1950s the accumulating waste
forced ALCOSAN to build 90 miles
of pipes to intercept the combined
system and divert the water to a
centrally located treatment plant
(asterisk). During dry weather, the
interceptors (purple) carry waste
water to the treatment plant, but when
it rains (as little as one tenth of an
inch) they divert the overflow directly
into the rivers. An average rainfall in
Pittsburgh is one quarter of an inch.
Gardez l’eau celebrates the
composting toilet as a means
for people to rediscover their
place in the nutrient cycle.

“Outhouse with a View” is a three-story
self-sustaining marsh system designed
to plug onto the side of any existing
structure or to reside as a free standing
model to raise public awareness about
wastewater treatment alternatives.
The tower grants a meditative view
as well as an education on the cycle
of consumption, decomposition,
fertilization and growth.

The exhibition featured a two story
toilet, located in between the second
and third floors of the gallery. It
allowed participants to choose which
colored toilet paper and colored
saw dust to cover their contribution
with. A foot-powered trap door then
releases the colored poo into a clear
vitrine at ground level, creating a
communal ‘sand art’ compost.
