A senior year studio project to propose a town-wide greenway with trail connections of different parts of Framingham.The design scenario will be beneficial to the town of Framingham’s Greenway to connect other greenway plans and existing trails. The scenario is to have an open andclear gateway entrances to Victory Field and Riverside Park and a bridge at the Sudbury River which connects both sites. The recreational area invites residents and visitorsfrom all directions such as; residential and commercial areas. The site offers a serene circulation walk on the trail throughout the whole site. The walking trail goes through Victory Field’s athletic field, multiple conservation areas including VictoryField’s wetland, and Riverside Park’s Canoe Access area.

The town of Framingham is a town that has deep roots in history and its’ culture is influenced by the Metrowest region. The town of Framingham prides itself on its’ history and culture. Visitors and residentswho are not familiar with the town’s history and culture need a greenway that will not only highlight the history and culture of the town but provide beautiful recreational areas that will be enjoyed for years to come. In addition, the greenway will improve the town’s economy by making it a place people want to come and enjoy. Created using AutoCad, Sketch Up, Photoshop and Illustrator.

A group project led me to chose this area as my focus site. The Sea Serpent concept provides multiple open and private gathering spaces in a variety of sizes. The center of the site offers a large lawn area for recreation and relaxation with biomorphic walking path throughout the whole riverfront park.
While the riverfront park provides recreational and gathering spaces, it also is a space that people from both the metro and residential areas can easily access on foot to enjoy the unique views of the Connecticut River.

Studio Projects
This project provided an introduction to site planning for housing developments in institutional and commercial scale, Within its 100 acres, Pocumtuck Creek offers various housing developments for multi-family living. The site brings a moderate grading change in which water can travel to swales to muiltiple rain gardens. The site also provides one and half parking spaces per unit.
