A sliver of ecological heaven that has been importantin my life as
long as I can remember. Gave me an incredible
affinity for nature and taught me the importance of preservation+ restoration.
A truly dynamic citythriving with incredible
diversity. Serves as botha local city with uniquecharacter, as well as a national capital for the
United States. Continues to be in the forefront of
most green movements.
A design and designphilosophy by Lawrence
Halprin that has reallyleft its mark on my own
philosophies. Understood+ embraced city life bychoreographing spacesthat welcomed people.Linked social + cultural
issues with design.
A benchmark of homethat always will have
influencesme. An incredibly rich history +
character that gives the city a soul. Embraces itslocation on the ocean +activates people to the
waterfront area.

Central Maryland Greenway

Park
Development
greenway features:Reclaiming Brown Station Land�ll and using it as an active athletic �eldand horse training area. Taking a once toxic area and creating a healthy,functional, and inviting area where people can recreate.
Linking loops are spaced between the major park ‘nodes’ in order toencourage people from the developments and future developmentsto enter the greenway.
Upper Marlboro is the major development density of the areaas well as a connection point between a formal loop and themain natural path spine.
The primary spine of the greenway, following the WesternBranch stream valley, is a natural hiker oriented path. While the formal looping extending outward is intendedto invite bikers, joggers, and strollers.
There are several possible extension and expansion points along the greenway. They extend towards other major cities, nodes,parks, and other points of interest in the area.
Environmentally sensitive design,driven by contour trail design, createsa sustainable greenway. For major roads, land bridges span the gapallowing people and fauna to cross.
