The decomissioned ISLAND STATION coal power plant in st. paul, minnesota sits along the post industrial banks of the MISSISSIPPI river. anticipated as the possible new regional headquarters of the national park service, the site called for a program based on the needs of both an office and educational facility while maintaining sensitivity to the fragile ECOLOGICAL regimes which have evolved over the course of the stations existence. site analysis considered the regional biome, national park system, and river corridor contexts as well as FLORA and FAUNA who’ve made the decrepit and degrading site home.

With a program of education and urban habitat augmentation, URBITAT became an exercise in innovative design. from the bottom up, polluted soils were cut, burned, and engineered into a vital LANDBRIDGE connecting the former peninsula with a regional bike trail and forming a storm water BIOCISTERN designed to collect and treat run off from the large industrial complexes adjacent to the site. a network of POLLENATOR attracting rain gardens surround the building promoting the necessities for successful avian habitat. pairing ACTIVE and passive educational opportunites such as a climbing tower, zip line, canoe club and rocket based planting restorations URBITAT re-imagines outdoor learning to respond to the modern child. the defunct power plant is repurposed to house a restaurant, museum, and office space while feeding grey water into an integrated LIVING MACHINE adjacent the building.

Used as creative ARTISTS studios at present and formerly a functioning soap FACTORY, this large vacant industrial site propped atop the bluffs of downtown minneapolis required large volume access, cross site movement, and LANDFORM solutions to navigate large grade changes across its width. PROPOSAL Q was developed with these criteria in mind and sought to ENERGIZE this gritty landscape with green. featuring a large plaza gathering space near the rear studio entrance for outdoor gallery display, the plantings and landform radiate outwards from a central point in an ever expanding spiral. a ‘WARP WALL’ follows the curling path morphing from vertical to horizontal from street to plaza.

This three phase design began in teams, creating a guiding VISION for a 30 mile section of the mississippi river between St. Paul, Minnesota and Prescott, Wisconsin at the confluence with the St. Croix River. This CONFLUENCE became the focus of my personal phase 2 and 3 designs, challenging the idea that an existing park space was the best celebration of such an important hydrologic merge. By repurposing the existing rail and highway INFRASTRUCTURE into pedestrian experiences, the new PEDECO bridge becomes a natural extension of an inward focused downtown and an innovative RAINWATER treatment train.

Over the past 100 years, the DUWAMISH River Valley of Seattle has been violently altered from a meandering river/estuary into an industrial monoculture. POLLUTION levels throughout the waterway have reached TOXIC levels making the fish, crabs, and shellfish inedible, the banks unnatural, and vital habitat non-existent. The vision of the behold: project seeks to re-invest communities in the LIFE of the river, creating homes, opportunities for work and trade, and a vital healthy ecosystem for all. Additionally, this project assumes a paradigm shift to a post-capitalist model, wherein stores begin to move to customers. Providing cities with MOBILE markets designed for shop-boats (think house-boat, but for goods) begins a new paradigm of RESILIENT and sustainable business which can move according to the EBBS & FLOWS of tides and commerce. The New Urbanist paradigm of localized “live/work” in mixed use residential/commercial hubs suffers from a fatal flaw wherein the residents of the buildings rarely are the employees of the service sector businesses over which they are perched. As such, in the post-capitalist city the very concept of “LIVE/WORK” will have to be re-evaluated, and the definition of “work” re-defined. The concept of ‘longhouse local’ builds on the communal dwelling history of the tribes of the Pacific Northwest, providing small group residence buildings, INFRASTRUCTURE to house trade and a new CULTURAL structure known as the Orchard House, which can be used as a hub for communities to come together to work.

Integrating established dock-style architecture and the same vegetated wingdam structures found across the river along the shore of the Boeing plant and newly in the JOHN BEAL TIDAL ESTUARY, this is a space and place truly unique and tailored to life in Seattle.
