historic downtown manhatt an

Manhatt an, Kansas’ rapid projected populati on growth will increase demand for housing and encourage the current trend of suburban sprawl into un-touched nati ve prairie. Outward expansion decreases populati on density, increases traffi c, and marginalizes older areas of town. Many of Manhatt an’s downtown neighborhoods have not realized their full potenti al to accommo-date more residents, augment pedestrian and bike use, and enhance identi ty.

density- reversing urban sprawl mobility- biking and green space

identi ty- historic core

The 9.2 acre project site located downtown reveals potenti al for infi ll de-velopment that could include mixed use, increased pedestrian mobility and enhanced identi ty for the neglected historic core of the city. Major improve-ments include widened sidewalks, designated bicycle lanes, extended store hours for buildings with shops on the fi rst fl oor and programmed commu-nity acti viti es.

The proposed master plan capitalizes on the existi ng traditi onal infrastructure including the street grid and architectural character. Strategic architectural retrofi tti ng was planned based on historic preservati on requirements, existi ng building use, property values and desired mixed use percentage of the site. Phasing was determined by land value, profi tability and existi ng property ownership that would most effi ciently allow for the complete build out of the proposed plan.

building bridges outdoor discovery

Building Bridges Outdoor Discovery was a pro bono design-build project com-pleted during a summer internship at Golden Associates Landscape Architects. Conceptual design, dimensioning, sensory planti ng, irrigati on, details, plan and cost esti mate were included in the two-week design process. The 2,315 square foot courtyard atop Building Bridges Child Development Center was designed based on an environmental educati on program for infants and toddlers. Esti mated constructi on and material cost is $35,000.

Conservati on Community Development of Manhatt an, Kansasstagg hill development

Stagg Hill Development was a studio project exploring the possibility for a conservati on community located near the southwest city limit of Manhatt an, Kansas on 31.5 acres. Prairie restorati on, forest preservati on and stormwater management were focuses for the sustainable design. Major site features include 44 single family homes, 6 town homes, a community club house and recreati onal trails and pedestrian linkages.

Earthwork Estimation: Average End Area Methodstagg hill development

Minimizing grading reduces the impact of human presence on the site while allowing the natural drainage to be sustained where possible. Minimiz-ing infrastructure costs was achieved by implementing best management practices such as bioswales and stormwater retention areas. Horizontal and vertical road alignment was necessary to site the primary and secondary roads within the development. Other services included in the scope were proposal writing and estimate of fees.

Lakeview Village of Topeka, Kansas is a senior living community that consists of 95 acres with 600+ homes and 800+ residents that adusts to all stages of aging seniors. The site is bisected by a major uti lity infrastructure easement which restricts de-velopment in the area. Extreme stormwater management issues include fl ooding, erosion and exposed infrastructure. Group members include myself and Felipe DeNarvaez.

Transforming San Diego’s East Village- Celebrati ng our Faults

The 2010 Urban Land Insti tute/ Gerald D. Hines Student Urban Design Competi ti on is a multi disci-plinary competi ti on that challenges students to devise a comprehensive design and development pro-gram over a two week period for a real, large-scale site that incorporates challenges and opportuniti es.

east village in context

East Village in San Diego, California, rests on top of acti ve and passive fault lines, has a declining economy and contains many buildings that need re-purposing within the 73 acre site. Our team goal was to celebrate these “faults” and revamp the surrounding community, incorporati ng sustainability, mobility and mixed-use for a variety of income levels. Maintaining the existi ng culture while creati ng a new identi ty for East Village was both a challenge and opportunity. Team members include myself, Brad Mascal (Architecture), Cynthia Wiederholt (Architecture), Heather Grogan (Landscape Architec-ture) and Zachary Ransom (Finance).

hybrid learning landscape framework

MontClair Elementary’s 3.5 acre campus is located in Oakland, California and serves 420 Kindergarten through fi ft h grade students. Student populati on is projected to increase to 600 by 2012 which will not be supported by existi ng faciliti es. Therefore, the Oakland Unifi ed School District awarded the school a ten million dollar bond to upgrade the facili-ti es and schoolyard.

Site issues addressed through design improve the campus unity, identi ty, aestheti cs and functi onality. Major Issues include a weak link between curriculum and schoolyard, lack of shade and accessible vegetati on, awkward asphalt terracing of the site, heat island eff ect and weed control.

contextual diagrams

To provide students with a holisti c high performance school, both the interior and exterior school environment should be uti lized for comprehensive learning and play. Through analysis and synthesis of University Colorado Denver’s Learning Landscapes Program and California’s Collaborati ve for High Performance Schools Program (CHPS), a hybrid learn-ing landscape framework was formed. The framework principles were then applied to MontClair Elementary and resulted in a curriculum inspired school environment that links students, community and nature.
