Yenikapi Harbor Post Industrial Landscapes

Istanbul, Turkey is a palimpsest of civilizations both ancient and modern. Geo-graphically Istanbul is located at the nexus of east and west but the city of Istanbul is uniquely its own world. The city is booming economically, unemploy-ment is low, growth is high and people are moving to this incredible city. There is a need for housing and a desire from the young people to have places to go and live a modern Turkish lifestyle.

The Turkish culture holds the natural world close to their hearts. Tulips are present in tiles in mosques, in paintings in museums and in the shape of the tea cup that every Turkish person drinks out of every day. Water is an important part of the rituals of the Muslim faith and the sea is visible from almost any point in the city. Unfortunately, green spaces in the city has historically been held only by the sultans and the very wealthy. Common people could only visit these spaces temporarily.

Our project introduced the idea of public open space with the creation of a large linear park linking the sea to a new neighborhood. This neighborhood is located next to a new trans-portation hub and organized around stormwa-ter flow.



FINA

L SITE PLAN

new neighborhood mosque(designed by team member)

Water plaza holds large trees and connects neigh-

borhood to park and transit hub.

No stormwater infrastructure, all streets

channel water towards park.

Blocks at higher elevation have roof gar-

dens.

New public park filters and transports urban water to the sea and creates a link from the old Byzantine shoreline to the new modern shoreline (filled in over 700 years).

Orient Express Rail Line

Blocks at lower elevation use water in

interior courtyards and vegetated street treatment.

Streets at higher elevations function for pedestrians and water distribution.

700 year old neighborhood. Existed in a peninsula, when site was a Byzantine harbor

New Transit HubThis combines the stopping points for local and regional bus lines, the new under-ground “chunnel” and the trans-national Orient Express(designed by team member)

Growing Healthy Cities Bringing Food Back into the Urban Core

Grocery Stores and Walkability

Fast Food and Walkability

Convenience Stores and Walkability

As a class we facilitated three design charrettes and two walking audits with community members within the Maryvale neighborhood. The comments were distilled down into three main barriers to healthy eating and healthy living: access, economy and education. The project attemptes to solve barriers to healthy eating in Maryvale’s children by providing community assets that empower citizens to grow, produce and sell their own food.

The project provides gardens and commercial kitchens as well as spaces to sell produce and food products on a site that used to only have space for fast, unhealthy, corporate owned food.

The project elements, such as a community garden and an orchard as well as larger scale row crop production, coupled with classes and a space for commercial food preparation provides opportunities for community members to both create better food choices for themselves and make a living doing it.

FINA

L SITE PLANRunning Path

The path that circles the site is about a half a mile and will be lit at night.

U-Pick-It Agriculture fields planted with fruits and veggies that community members can pick themselves.

Citrus grove parkingIntegrating farmer’s market parking in the citrus grove will allow multiple uses for the vast amount of temporary space needed for cars twice a week for the a.

Farmer’s MarketShaded space for over 60 stalls for farmers and local artisans to sell goods to community members.

Shade StructureMany students walk from Estrella Middle School and Trevor Brown High School to catch the 41 East at the corner of 75th and Indian

School Rd. Currently there is a small shade structure and no

open space around the bus stop.

Maryvale Community GardenThe circular shaped pods for

individual or group gardening are lowered below grade to facilitate

water catchment.Groups and individuals can

participate in classes in gardening or cooking at the

adjacent community kitchen.

Festival AreaOne way for communties raise

revenue is to hold festivals involving a unique resource, such as a pumpkin patch or

a migrating bird. The Harvest Festival Area could celebrate

the double harvest we enjoy in Arizona.

New Community Teen CenterDuring the charrettes, aarents

requested more spaces in their community for teen activities. The

building has spaces for active classes, such as dance or yoga as well as communal spaces for

studying. The building frames also has outdoor activities such

as basketball.

Arizona State University asked the School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture to propose projects in-spired by ASU President Crow’s vision of sustainability. President Crow wants to increase students travelling to school using alternative transporation, install solar energy collection on all rooftops of campus and promote “sustainbility” on campus.

In 2008 Phoenix opened its first lightrail system, about 40,000 people ride the lightrail per day. My teammate and I focused on developing a new coordior linking the Memorial Union to the new lightrail stop just north of campus. We proposed design interventions along this cooridor based on the amount of water collected from various building sources.

One of two main lightrail stops for

Arizona State.

DESIGNING FOR MOTHSProcess Diagram

Plant natural vegetation in wash, moths will use grasses as

cover from predators during non-rainy season.

1. EGG

The pupae stage takes place underground or hidden in tree bark. Pupae can lay dormant for days, or whole seasons. Emergence from pupae is often triggered by a natural event, such as spring rains.

Pupae need light soil cover and an undisturbed site.

DISTURBANCESMoths find nectar by looking for flowers which reflect moonlight. Street and house lights interfere with the moth’s normal foraging

by out competing the subtle reflections of moonlight on white flowers and fatally attracting the moths to hot lamps.

Moths rely on floral scents to find flowers. Studies show that VOCs released by cars compete with the natural VOCs released by flowers as scent. In urban environments the range of flowers’

scents have decreased dramatically due to air pollution from cars.

Due to the short time of a moth’s adult life any increase in nectar foraging time due to these disturbances could decrease mating

and egg laying causing a decline in moth populations.

MOTHS AS POLLINATORSIn the southwestern United States, many plants rely on moths for survival by blooming at night,

which protects their fragile flowers from the daytime heat. There are more moths in the

southwest than in any other part of the United States.

POLLINATION

The larvae stage takes place on a host plant; larvae eat the leaves of

the host plant until they are ready to pupate. Moth larvae are voracious eaters and are often seen as pests,

especially with some agriculture crops. Larvae are often food for other species such as birds and

larger insects.

Larvae need host plants and an undisturbed site.

Adults lay eggs on the top or bottom of host

plants leaves or on the ground around the host plants. Eggs hatch after

5-7 days.

Eggs need host plants and an undisturbed site.

MOTHS AS FOOD SOURCEMoths are an integral part of the food chain by

providing food for flying creatures and also are one of the main species that pollinate night blooming plants, which is particularly important in this area where plants have adapted to bloom at night to

avoid daytime heat.

4. ADULT

Most species of adult moths only have a few days after emerging from the pupa to mate

and lay eggs before they expire. The emergence is usually timed with an

environmental trigger, such as the blooms of the sacred datura or a heavy rain.

Use trees to block light and emissions from cars.

Separate visitors from egg, larvae and pupae habitat with natural

barriers such as cacti.

Place larvae habitat near pupae habitat, such as trees and

fallen logs.Common vegetable plants are pollinated by moths. Plant a vegetable garden with tomatoes and

peppers to increase moth habitat.

MOTHS AS POLLINATORSMoths use moonlight to find white, night-blooming flowers. They also prefer flowers with a strong scent. Moths use scent to locate areas of

flowers and then sight to get to individual blooms.

Hawks, birds and bats eat moths on

the fly.

Lora S. Martens Graduate School Portfolio [email protected]

I organized first Park(ing) Day park in Phoenix in 2009, with a team of Architecture and Landscape Ar-chitecture students from Arizona State University. The idea caught on and expanded to six spots in 2010.

I initially came up with the concept of a park with movable boxes filled with desert adapted plants and assembled the team of students to build and move the space the day of the event.
