Qinhaui River Front, Nanjing, China
The Qinhaui River Front is a part of an interdisciplinary design studio. The challenge was to design a museum and landscape that flowed continuously together. My design is inspired by the process of excava-tion and uses the grid to create endless program possibilities.

Neumarkt Platz, Cologne, Germany
Neumarkt Platz is the transportation hub of Cologne. People move through the space, but hardly stay in it. This design breaks up the vast plaza into triangular areas that create intimate spaces for people to enjoy. Rows of trees direct movement while acting as transparent walls. The central area is open to accommodate the large festivals that commonly are hosted in Neumarkt.

22 Acres of Wind, 2 acres of Solar, 110 acres of Biomass to create an energy sustained watershed.
134 Acres out of a total of 10,570 acres within the Marsh Run and Little Loyalsock Watershed
This project looks at the feasibility of implementing renewable energy sources (biomass, solar, and wind energy) in a watershed that the Marcellus Shale gas industry is taking over. This could provide economic benefits to the community while improving the environmental set backs the gas industry has brought onto the landscape.

Magombera Wildlife Corridor, Magombera, Tanzania
The Magombera Wildlife Corridor allows endemic species, of the Magombera Forest, to travel to the Udzungwa Mountains. It also incorporates ways for locals to benefit financially, socially, and sustainably through wood lots, crop production, and tourist nodes.

Regional Planning, Spring Creek Watershed, PA
Suitability for Development Suitability for Biodiversity
Spring Creek is a part of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. Its development greatly impacts water quality downstream. A suitability analysis was done to pinpoint the best places in the Spring Creek Watershed to develop based on biodiversity and existing infrastructure. Then a prototype community was designed that would diminish impacts downstream that could be implemented in available lots within the watershed.

Stadionwiesen, Cologne, Germany We were tasked to analyze, in a non-traditional way, the entrance lawn to the soccer stadium in Cologne Germany. My peer and I looked at landscape traces to determine areas that were largely used by people. Most of these traces were stickers stuck to poles and benches, while some included footprints and trash.

Temporary Tram StationOnly open during games, this area was surprisingly free of stickers. Perhaps, because people are quickly leaving the station to go to the stadium or open �elds, there is not enough time spent in this space to place a sticker.
Administration BuildingsBetween the two buildings there was also a lack of stickers. One main reason would be the material. Stickers do not stick to brick. Also, this space is more occupied by sta�; they might clean this area more often than others.
Stadium ThresholdRight past the main gates there is a large amount of stickers. This would be the �rst area visitors see, meaning it is the perfect place to show o� your team spirit. There are also many objects that stickers can be stuck to, i.e. directory sign, light posts, benches.
Tram Tracks CrossingThis is a part of the site where the most removed stickers were found. They were stuck on signs and posts. There is no particular explanation for why so many were taken o� here, but they signs could be important for tra�c �ow.

After analysis, I designed a temporary space within the entrance lawn at Stadionwiesen. My event was the Special Olympics and I designed the space as an exploratory forest of fabrics. It allows guests to venture through the flags and encourages them to create their own adventure and path towards the stadium.

10. Grand Coulee Dam OverlookGaze upon the largest hyrdopower producing dam in the United States while also enjoying the rugged landscape.
At Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area I expanded my design skills by producing media materials and landscape plans. Using the Adobe Suite and ArcGIS I made promotional bookmarks and maps of the park. AutoCAD aided me in designing plans for shoreline restoration.

Horticulture Internship, Orlando, FL As a horticulture intern for the Walt Disney Company I was tasked with the maintenance and care of the landscape within Walt Disney World Parks and Resorts in Orlando, Fl. I also had the opportunity to propose a garden design for the FNGLA Garden in the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival. My focus was on sustainable food, water, and materials to educate guests on recycling and going green.

Center for Green Infrastructure, Lower Susquehanna
As a research assistant I helped in multiple projects, including Greening the Lower Susquehanna. My co-assitant and I created visuals and resources for community meetings including diagrams, pamphlets, felt boards, and more. The goal was to encourage participatory design in neighborhoods across the lower Susquehanna. These neighborhoods all have impaired streams and this project helped community members learn about the importance of repairing them.

VEGETATION TRANSPARENCY
The scale (tree, shrub, grass) and type (coniferous vs. deciduous) of vegeta on will impact the visibility of certain features in the landscape.
What does greening the landscape mean to you and your community?

CONCEPTUAL PLANDesigned by: Devon Beekler & Tara Mazurczyk
Assisted by: LandStudies & Sarah Hurteau
Incorporating the ideas of Colebrook residents, this conceptual plan provides stormwater management strategies for the Conewago Creek as a way to improve water quality, water quantity, and neighborhood aesthetic. These recommendations are suggested guidelines for future landscape design aimed at providing flexible solutions for ecological and community revitalization.
The provided handout gives recommendations to the different landscape strategies outlined in this conceptual plan.
