CPP Spring Quarter Projects

Here are a few of the projects from the spring that I worked on.

More Winter CPP Projects

Here is a construction portfolio from the winter quarter. I really like how it turned out. I'll get to the spring quarter work later this week.

Winter CPP Projects

Not been doing much on here on account of the last two quarters of school. Now that the year has just ended, I'm going to try and do more of the initial ideas that I had planned....sketches, illustrations, photographs, creative things, and get out more of the things have been rolling around in my head. That's the plan anyways. The one area outside of school that I have been keeping up on to some extent is the small container garden. So, I will also be showing what is going on there.

This is some of the work that I did during my winter quarter.

Vladimir Sitta the Man

This is a case study I put together for a design class on an Australian landscape architect named Vladimir Sitta. There are images of some of his more interesting projects, and a short write-up on him. Now being done, I wish I had gone into more detail discussing specifically the projects. Too late for now. Here's also a link to a half hour documentary about him , if you are interested.

Rancho Mission Viejo Park Phase Two

This is the Phase II board for the same park from Phase I. In this plan I have finalized the design of the park with specific detail of the amenities. The topography has been conceptually graded, while the majority of the site is not intended to have any grading. Also included on the board are cross section/elevations and perspectives of areas in the park. Details may be difficult to notice, since this was prepared as a 90" x 42" board.

Rancho Mission Viejo Park Phase One

This is a board I put together for a proposed park in South Orange County. The board is intended to show initial concepts for the park both design and imagery. It would be located at the edge of a new mixed use community and border an ecologically important creek and watershed. The plan I created focuses on keeping the majority of the acreage undeveloped and/or allowed to function as a natural landscape (i.e., it would not be controlled by the mower or chainsaw). Embedded in the park are trails that allow users to see the processes changing the land and offer space to recreate....especially in that they will link to other community trails. There will be programmatic ammenities such as amphitheatre, playgrounds, picnic shelters, rest rooms, parking lot, and demonstration garden for drought tolerant plantings.

Here are a few more shots from the project that I was thinking about using.....and the obligatory sunset shot from Portugese Bend.
