and challenging projects of my academic career. The idea of using my design talents not just to make

shapes, but to shape space, quickly captivated my mind. Landscape architecture gave me the oppor-
tunity to create the stage on which life’s dramas are played. 04 | PROJECTS

Yes, that may sound idealistic. And it is. But it’s why I’m a landscape architect.

DESIGN WORKSHOP
As part of a government social housing initiative to help

produced by others build the middle class of México, several “new cities”
are being planned and built throughout the country.
Design Workshop was brought on to play a central role
in the planning and conceptual design of one of these
new cities in the State of Morelos.
An 1,800 acre parcel of land between the cities of
Temixco and Cuernavaca was chosen as the loca-
tion of this new development. On top of creating the
master plan of this new city, Design Workshop also did
schematic level design of some significant areas, most
importantly of the new state government district and
urban center.

DESIGN WORKSHOP
I played a central role in designing the urban core of the new city. By following an existing
drainage bed, we created a pedestrian spine that links the city’s two major parks. Govern-
ment, office, and retail uses abutt this pedestrian way creating a vibrant and active public
space that sets it apart from more traditional Mexican city centers.
Two challenges faced us in desiging the pedestrian spine: integrating our design with the extreme topography of the site and unifying
the distinctive characters of the spine’s three different spacial typologies: The Nature Preserve, Urban Plazas, and The Pedestrian Street.
In order to address the first issue, I created a 3D working model in Sketchup that helped us understand the grading issues we were fac-
ing and ultimately informed the design to accomodate them. The issue of unity was addressed by celebrating the existing stream bed
through the use of linear forms that move along the spine in direction of the original drainage. Consistent materials and plant types are

DESIGN WORKSHOP
The Nature Preserve helps to bring the existing natural conditions of
the site into the urban center and also provides a physical connec-
tion to the park on the other side of the highway.
Users are given the opportunity to interact with the natural environment by either
observing it from the raised plaza spaces or by directly accessing it through it’s trail net-
work. An amphitheater also acts to bring people down into the natural area by using
the existing environment as a beautiful backdrop for concerts or theater productions.
The dramatic forms of the walls interpret the natural course of the stream and help give
a distinct yet intuitive form to the Nature Preserve.

DESIGN WORKSHOP
One of the most challenging designs I’ve worked on, the Main Plaza
balances the need for daily functionality and large-scale event use.
The main plaza acts as the primary gathering space for the city. From here the
Governer addresses the masses and political demonstrations and protests are
staged. Consequently, it was necessary to balance the need for the plaza to
be failry open and unobstructed while also providng a comfortable environ-
ment for its daily users. In order to accomplish this we used linear forms to
create “garden edges” that captured a more intimate feel and scale while
maintaining an open center for gathering.

DESIGN WORKSHOP
The Pedestrian Steet brings the urban shopping experience and the
natural environment together.
By following the winding course of the existing stream bed, the pedestrian
street takes on an almost european character with the distinct experience of
having a sunken garden run through the center of it. The sunken garden unites
the natural and urban environments and allows users to get a taste of the exist-
ing site conditions. A combination of retail, dining, and office uses abutt the
pedestrian street making it a vibrant and active public space.

I also played an integral role in producing a display
model of the Government and Urban Center.
The client asked us to produce a display model of the urban center
that would be used as part of their marketing efforts. I helped not
only to build the model but also to come up with the strategy of
how to build it and what materials to use.

One of my primary roles on the project team was to produce presentation materials including planning and sys-
tems diagrams, illustrative sections and plans, and 3D visualization graphics.
I’ve been fortunate to have a background in graphic design as it has given me the abilitiy to quickly produce simple and concise graphics
that clearly communicate ideas to both the project team as well as to the client. Recognizing that, the project manager put me in charge of
producing the majority of the project’s presentation materials.

DESIGN WORKSHOP
I designed Palm Way to be a pedestrian promenade that has a look and feel driven by the pres-
ence of luxury fashion retailers. The feel of the street is that of refined elegance.
In order to capture this feel, Palm Way was designed using a layering approach combining
simple, clean forms and high-end materials. A strong sense of unity and rhythm is
created through the consistent placement of trees and planters that run the
length of the street. Variety is introduced by breaking that pattern to
create garden rooms and plazas. The street has lush planting
and a high, arching tree canopy in order to create a
gardenesque quality that provides a comfort-
able shopping experience for its users.

DESIGN WORKSHOP
The result of the design is a unified, yet var-
ied garden street that reflects the character
and refinement of both its retail establish-
ments and its expected patrons.
The use of refined materials and simple, clean forms
helps to tie the architecture in with the street while
the introduction of lush planting makes it a decid-
edly unique, garden-like experience. Palm Way cuts
a swath through the project’s urban fabric without
disrupting it. It is a street designed for comfort and
refinement.

DESIGN WORKSHOP
Palm Way’s design is held together by a series of repeating
rectangular planters used to unify the entire street as well as
act as a buffer between pedestrians and cars.
The design of Palm Way is dominated by the idea of “unity with variety.” Fol-
lowing this concept, the planters were designed to alternate between three
different types: raised, at grade, and inhabitable. This allows the street to
maintain a sense of harmony and unity while avoiding the potential feel of
sterility or monotony.

DESIGN WORKSHOP
The Domain was designed to include a variety of spaces, or “gar-
den rooms” both on and off the street. Each has its own charac-
ter and function.
In order to break up the strong patterning along Palm Way and other streets, we
designed several “garden rooms” that served as intimate courtyards, outdoor din-
ing or entertainment spaces, or efficient, yet pleasant, pedestrian through ways.
I was given responsibility to design several of these spaces and was encouraged
to use a variety of styles and approaches in doing so.

DETAILED STREET GRADING STUDY
OVERALL SITE GRADING DIAGRAM
One of my primary responsibilities was to carry out and/or direct all grad-
ing efforts on the project, including those of the consultant team.
My responsibilities included overall site grading as well as detailed streetscape grading.
Part of this effort entailed extensive coordination with the civil engineers and the architects,
through which, we were able to take on a leadership role in ultimately determining the
general street grades, top of curb elevations and the finished floor elevations of all proposed
buildings on site.

While studying for a semester at the Uni-
versity of Ljubljana in Slovenia I had the
chance to create an urban redevel-
opment plan for a small town named
Logatec which was located twenty
minutes south of the capital city.
Logatec was having problems with
a dramatic rise in unplanned residen-
tial and commercial construction. The
catalyst of such development was due
to a sudden shift in the town’s identity
from an agricultural town to more of
a bedroom community for the capi-
tal city. Other issues facing the town
included a deteriorating and undefined
city center, increasing commuter and
industrial traffic and sprawling industrial
development.
|21|

22. l o g a t e c - a n a l y s i s a n d c o n c e p t d e v e l o p m e n t | L O G AT E C , SLOVENIA
Extensive research and analysis of the city lead to the creation of both general
and detailed concept plans.
DESIGN CONCEPT
In order to come up with a viable solution for Logatec I began by researching and visiting the city.
Using the information and impressions I gathered I was able to develop a design concept indicat-
ing my desire to create two structured centers for the town as well as delineate and preserve open
spaces. I then analyzed essential connections between various important city elements. This allowed
me to develop a more detailed concept plan which led to the more structured plan shown on the
previous page.

Upon completing the general redevelopment plan for Logatec I was then able to move to a more detailed level.
At this scale I could address the issue of redefining the city center as well as look at alternative residen-
tial development options and design an urban green system. My goal was to solidify the
city’s image by developing or restructuring unused open space within the
city and also by defining limits to the expanding construc-
tion into the surrounding hills and farmland.

In designing the historic city
center I understood that the most
important thing to accomplish
was to make downtown Logatec
a destination for people.
In order to do that I proposed closing off
all through roads and instead provided
access to the downtown by means
of a ring road. With roads closed off, I
was able to capitalize on the medieval
structure of the historic center and cre-
ate a vibrant and interesting dining and
shopping district complimented by vari-
ous open spaces and plazas of differing
character and function. A large center
square would serve as a town gathering
place as well as a space for local festivals
and markets.

In providing new housing models
I focused on designing three dif-
ferent residential areas of varying
character.
These areas not only serve to bring more
of the population close to the city center
but also to help define the edge separat-
ing the city from an already established
recreational area.
SERKNICA Each residential area serves a different
RECREATIONAL function for the city. The three apartment
AREA
blocks on the left strengthen an important
intersection and help define the entrance
to the city center. The central high-density
housing area adds variety in height and
character to the surrounding blocks. The
semi circle of blocks to the right mark the
entrance to the city from the west and,
being the tallest buildings in the city, serve
as a landmark for way finding.

imperative to encourage cir-

Amenities were to be enjoyed
and shared with the surrounding
neighborhoods.
Finding the proper form and function of
the site was a challenge. We sketched
out many different ideas both together
and separately until we found the right
concept. The challenge from there was
interpreting that concept into a workable
form that was both intuitive and mean-
ingful. Once we felt comfortable with the
form we focused on defining the func-
tions and uses of the site. We decided

EXISTING SITE
Montrose, Colorado is found in one of the
most arid regions of the country. With an
average rainfall of only 9 inches per year,
reduction of water use is an imperative
issue for all of the regions inhabitants. This
is especially true in the context of land-
scape irrigation.
For my Honors Thesis Project I worked
with BLM staff in order to create a more
sustainable landscape for their Public
Lands Center found in Montrose. The ex-
isting site consisted of large expanses of

turf as well as thirsty shade trees. In order
to educate the public and demonstrate
their own commitment to sustainable
land use, the BLM wanted to redevelop
the Center’s landscape into a water-ef-

A piece of land adjacent to the Logan River is owned by Logan City and is set to be incor-

and second, designing it in a meaningful way.
I drew upon on the city’s rich history as the agricultural capital of Utah as well as the home of Utah State
University, a significant contributor in agricultural sciences as well as in horticulture and botany. Reflecting on this
history I felt that it would be appropriate to develop the site as a botanical and educational garden.
The garden would be set against a backdrop of native plant groups. The site would include sensory gardens, a children’s
