INTRODUCTION

This portfolio of work has been assembled to showcase design work completed during the first half of my academic tenure in the Master’s of Landscape Architecture program at North Carolina State University. First and foremost, this portfolio demonstrates my design process in abstract and as applied in a studio project. Secondly, it showcases specific technical abilities such as graphics & photography, model building, and construction documentation. Beyond these topics, this portfolio includes information about my background, skills that I am currently developing, and academic interests that I plan on developing.

PROCESS

This graphic abstracts my overall process for my construction studio project. While there were distinct phases of developing the design for the studio, I did not continue through each phase in a

strictly linear fashion. This allowed for a stronger integration of each phase of the design. It also allowed me to address the complexities of the site while maintaining a strong design concept.

Mock-up: Testing materials and design through fabrication. Kebony® , Steel, & Concrete.

In developing a detail for my construction studio project. I revisited some of my early conceptual ideas as well as central themes of the final design. Using digital modeling and sketching, and AutoCAD, I developed a design for a bench. To take the design one step further and to test the strength and comfort of the bench, I made a full scale mock-up of a key connection point.

GRAPHICSThe following graphics are examples of from a variety of projects utilizing various techniques. Some show the mechanics of a design, while others are meant to convey an emotional character of the space. Not all graphical elements shown were used in presentations, many of my drawings or models help me understand a site, a problem, or convey a possible solution to teammates in a group project.

Adobe PhotoShop: Conceptual art for SHIFT: journal

This highly conceptual piece was produced for the inaugural edition of “SHIFT” an academic journal produced by the NCSU student ASLA. This graphic is composed on two facing pages and one page of vellum in between as an overlay. When the center page is turned, the image and its message is modified.

MODELS

Study Models: Used from conceptual to technical design.

Modeling, along with sketching and diagramming, is an important part of my design process. Both physical and digital modeling allow me to explore design alternatives in three dimension, generating new alternatives, and refining concepts.

Laser-cut Model: Final Design

Using AutoCAD to create a complete draft of the design, laser-cut models can be made quickly and with a high degree of precision. The model to the left is from a second semester project.

PROJECT LEADERSHIPDesign Build: Materials and Logistics, Syme Hall Raingarden Design-Build Studio,

As part of a design-build studio taught by Andrew Fox, I was given the opportunity to manage the budget and logistics for implementing a student-designed project on

NCSU’s campus. I worked with a team of 4 people over a 5 week construction schedule. The project was finished on time and under budget.

AREAS OF INTEREST INTERESTS

Design that supports energy-use reduction & environmental stewardship

Design & development strategies that make a project more environmentally and economically efficient through the creative application of technology, re-use of materials (up-cycling).

Design that focuses on environmental remediation and restoration and also human interaction with the environment to support education, natural learning and human as well as environmental health.

Storm management strategies that reduce runoff and reduce pollutants entering our drinking water resources, streams, and estuaries.

Defensible design using applied research.Using qualitative and quantitative research methods to make design decisions. This includes behavior mapping, surveys, questionnaires, interviewing, community design charrettes.

Using GIS for mapping and relating data to geographic space to produce a more complete understanding of a site’s issues and potential.

Context sensitive design. In addition to site analysis, creative exploration using modeling, sketching, and abstractions to create a design that is both intrinsic to its environment and shows artful expression from the designer.

Through an understanding of a site (its ecology, geography, history, sociology, & physiography) to turn it into a place highlighting its beauty and value to its users.

CURRENT WORK

ACADEMIC INITIATIVESHIFT: journal 2010 & 2011: Student-produced, peer-reviewed academic journal.

SHIFT is an effort by the students of the NCSU chapter of the ASLA to produce a peer-reviewed journal featuring the best student research, writing, and design by students from around. An ambitious goal, the first edition of SHIFT was published in the Fall of 2010.

The second edition is underway, for which I am serving as the editor. This project has taught me about project management, successfully working with others, and pulling together a quality product with limited time and budget.

Current Work Interests for Future Study• Working toward a certification in GIS applied in

landscape architecture.• Independent research looking at potential new

business models for landscape architecture• Applied research: Robin Moore’s methodologies

in studying human use of the urban landscape.

• Urban / re-urban design including suburban retrofits • Ecological design: storm water, ecological restoration• Environments for human health• Public space: parks, greenways, green infrastructure• Participatory design

SYME HALL SEATING SYSTEMTEAM: DAVID PEARSON, MATTHEW EVANS

Schematic DevelopmentWe developed three schematically different alternatives for seating spaces.

Design Values

1. The seating should reflect the values of the Syme Hall Rain Garden:

• Low Impact Design: through material choices.• Support education about storm water in the

environment

2. The seating should enhance the outdoor environment for students.

3. The seating should accommodate persons with mobility challenges, such as persons in a wheel-chair.

4. The seating should support a variety of social seating alternatives,

• A person sitting by themselves• A small group of 2-3 people together• A large group of people

As we developed our schematic designs for a seating system, we outlined values important to the design.

Conceptual Sketch

Anthropometric measurements were obtained from databases. Popliteal and lower back heights were calculated using a “Design for Mean” approach - the mean of the 50th percentile of male and female popliteal heights determined seat height. This approach made certain the design met ergonomic standards.
