Located in North Philadelphia, the Kensington neighborhood is a residential and commercial district plagued by high amounts of drug traffic and massive amounts of vacant parcels and store fronts. As a part of the process to bring the neighborhood back to its historical prowess, my plan proposed the creation of a regional landmark and transportation hub, taking advantage of the ConRail viaduct and Market-Frankford Line. The design objectives for this project were as follows:• Foster Safe and Equitable,
Neighborhood Development • Design an Ecologically Viable Urban
Environment and Green Economy • Revitalization of Kensington’s Economy

Kensington Master Plan
Vacant Lot Concept
At the corner of Ruth St. and Hart Ln., in the Kensington neighborhood, are multiple vacant lots; the development of which would serve as a catalyst for similar improvements throughout the Kensington neighborhood. The plan contains a play area for children as well as space for a community garden. The garden would serve as an area for local and healthy food sourcing while also providing educational opportunities.

CEDARBROOK PASSAGE LOCATION: Ambler, PennsylvaniaCOURSE: Studio III : Sep.2013 - Dec. 2013MEDIUM: AutoCad, ArcMap, InDesign, Photoshop, SketchUp
The Wissahickon Valley Watershed Association sought Temple University’s Woodland Design Studio for help in developing a missing link along the 21 mile Green Ribbon Trail in Montgomery County, PA. Site conditions required the conceptualization and development of a boardwalk layout and design focused on protecting and highlighting local ecology.

LOCATION: Ambler, PennsylvaniaCOURSE: Studio III : Sep.2013 - Dec. 2013MEDIUM: Plywood, Foam, Clay, Plant Material Starting by selecting an abstract painting, spaces and topography were extracted through three iterations of models. Each iteration became more tactile and more visually representative of a vegetated space than the last. The painting chosen was Lyubov Popova’s Space Force Construction

OXFORD WETLAND MITIGATION BANKLOCATION: Oxford, New JerseyCOURSE: Studio IV : Jan.2014 - May 2014MEDIUM: AutoCad, ArcMap, Excel, InDesign Photoshop, SketchUp
Under the guidance of the Evaluation for Planned Wetlands (EPW), the Oxford Wetland Mitigation Bank was developed using six ranking criteria. Each category is scored based on a scale of 0.0 to 1.0, 0.0 meaning that there is low potential in the wetland, and 1.0 meaning there is high potential in the wetland. • Fish (Non-Tidal Stream/River)• Sediment Stabilization • Shoreline Bank Erosion Control • Uniqueness & Heritage• Water Quality• Wildlife

The owner of Kim Market purchased the neglected adjoining parcels to his store in hopes of developing the lots in to a one stop shopping corner. One of the major challenges and learning experiences of the project included continuous collaboration with the local government. The following plans represent a small portion of the PWD plan submissions.

TDR SENDING AREALOCATION: Lancaster County, Pennsylvania ORGANIZATION: Brandywine Conservancy: May 2011MEDIUM: ArcMAP
With a Transfer Development Rights (TDR) program, municipalities can create a mechanism for protecting natural and cultural resources as it allows for development rights in areas designated for protection to be sent to areas designated for future growth. With the constant threat of development of these valuable lands, the following maps were created to demonstrate TDR’s effectiveness and possibilities. This map shows which parcels are to be considered for the TDR program.

10.000000
10.000001
The above map displays the TDR allocation of unprotected parcels eligible for the county agricultural preservation program. For parcels to be considered they must be Agricultural Security Area parcels that contain 50% or greater prime agricultural soils and are either 50 acres and greater or 10 acres and greater and adjacent to existing preserved lands.
