Quick-to-emerge, short lived plants provide early interest.

Mature prairie species replace the rudurals over time.

BADGER ROOF

The American badger hunts for ground squirrels by digging into their burrows.

Building off a scientific study of the positive effect of badger disturbances on prairie biodiversity, this green roof abstracts the process into an artificial ecosystem of planter bags made with UV-degradable textiles. The planting progresses from a peaky topography to a mellowed, mounded prairie planting. Ruderal and mature prairie species seeds in the bags replicate the growth process in the prairie, where seeds buried in prairie dog burrows, the badger’s prey, are brought to the surface by the badger’s digging.

Their digs uproot or bury existing vegetation and leave mounds of bare soil.

Prairie ruderals colonize the mound.

NORTH 1 PROSPERITY GARDENST

A PRODUCTIVE YOUTH TRAINING GARDENIn addition to managing the operations (and the youth workers) of the garden in its inaugural year, I assisted with its design and construction. Contributions include: Planting design around the base of the concrete retaining wall Selection of fence, red shelter, and shed to the left of the existing building Minor adjustments to the design during construction Selection of locally available red decomposed granite as an affordable paving option.

The home is constructed below the surface as an adaptation of the American prairie vernacular sod house. Compressed soil bricks are used in the construction of both the home and the landscape. The landscape bricks create analogous microclimates of those found in the nearby chert glades.

CU(d)scape AGRICULTURAL PUBLIC WORKSThe CU(d)scape creates infrastructure to support local agricultural production at a significant scale. Sited in typically underutilized land, it is a replicable model for supporting local food-based economies while creating unique open space.

rotational grazing builds soil quality

Phase one of the CU(d)scape is a pastured meat operation that uses rotational grazing to improve the land while producing over 80,000 pounds of high quality meat annually. As the soil becomes amenable for crop production, entrepreneurs are backed through CU(d)scape infrastructure, which connects small operations with the efficiencies of cities, large-scale agriculture, and natural systems.

STRUCTURING THE LANDSCAPE WITH TEXTILE-DERIVED CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUESSASAKI DAY PRIZE FOR TOP THESIS

Tectonic theory describes the relationship between construction and expressive intent. Such a theory has yet to be developed in land-scape architecture. Through historical and theoretical research of architectural texts, making textiles, and analyzing existing projects in landscape architecture, I inductively generated a seedling tectonic theory for my thesis.

Textiles are porous and flexible, uniquely suiting them to integrating, responding to, and even structuring landscape contingency. Textiles visibly entwine and integrate contingent forces, displaying an inher-ent quality of landscape construction: landscape architects, by inserting materials into the environment, change the contingent forces acting there. Textiles structure the small spaces in which these contingent forces can act, suggesting that these impacts might be made strategically.

A tectonic theory based on this aspect of the constructive practice of landscape architecture could serve as a forum for the collective development of best practices for structuring contingent forces in the environment and exploration of the expressive potentials of such techniques.

FOODS RAISED AT EAST SIDE HEALTHF.R.E.S.H. GARDENThe comic on the following pages tells the story of this garden project.

Page 16: Landscape Architecture Portfolio_ Janet Broughton

a model with movable components helped us to collaboratively design with our community partners.

After ESHD contacted the East St. Louis Action Project (ESLARP), I was assigned to lead the project. I recruited five other students and a faculty advisor.

OK, I guess I need to get back to the office!

Thank you for helping me today. It’s nice to spend time with you.

I just wish sue had come. I’ll have to ask her what happened during the WIC class later.

These peppers are from the cookout! We have to plant these next year.

I can’t wait to kick those tires over and harvest the potatoes.

Ruby, I am so pleased that the healthy dinner cookout was such a success!

together, we designed the garden:

I wonder where Ruby is with those greens. We just sold out!

East side health district (ESHD) is a public health organization with clinics serving the East St. Louis area. ESHD wanted to improve a lot adjacent to their administration building and one of their clinics to support their mission of preventative health and education services.

F.R.E.S.H. (Foods Raised at East Side Health) garden combines a venue for health education classes and events, multiple options for community gardening, and a safe place for employees to exercise during their lunch hour.

After the trip with ESLARP students, I planned another day to take the design team down to plant flowers and tie up loose ends.

we took a quick break for a photo op...

do you think we can finish all these beds in time?

we transplanted plants from a local garden and found donations, planting the front beds at no cost to our partners.

contributions in whole: led team, coordinated with eshd, arranged travel and meetings, secured donations, built modelcontributions in part: design, planting plan design, drafting, digital modeling, rendering

f.r.e.s.h. midway through the first season

ON SITE I led eSLARP students clearing debris from future flower beds. we found treasures in the soil...

PEDOLOGY PARKREVEALING GEOLOGIC, GLACIAL, AND HUMAN HISTORY THROUGH SOILSSASAKI DAY PRIZE FOR TOP 1 YEAR STUDENT DESIGNThis guidebook explains how the yellow poles, which delimit the distribution of soils, can be used to interpret the site’s fascinating history, complete with fold-out pages and a pop-up.

The site’s diverse mix of soils, unlike its vegetation, have been minimally disturbed. These soils reveal the site’s fascinating history; yellow poles delimit soil types and bring them to the surface for interpretation. Translucent poles display the beauty and meaning of typical soil profiles at the park entrance. The intervention minimally disturbs the community’s prairie while enriching the well-used park’s programming and vistas.
