ARDEA ALBA NATURAL PARK
GIS based reserch and design of a Habitat Park
Location: Indianapolis, Indiana
Advisor: Miran Day
Independent Work
Spring 2015
Project Scope: The project will involve proposals for habitat
creation and conservation measures of endangered/threat-
ened species in the metropolitan region of Indianapolis. Like
many other metropolitan cities, Indianapolis metro faces hab-
itat decrease due to widespread ongoing development. The
project is to propose a-state-of-the-art habitat center with
demonstration and/or habitat parks for people from the re-
gion to learn and be aware of the importance of endangered/
threatened species and of their habitats in the community. In
addition, the park will increase and strengthen habitats for the
endangered and threatened species.
The species is threatened by wetland habitat degradation
and loss for example through drainage, grazing, clearing,
burning, increased salinity, groundwater extraction and in-
vasion by exotic plants. Breeding colonies in Madagascar
may be declining due to egg and chick gathering from col-
onies by local peoples and the species previously suffered
from intense persecution for the plume trade.

GIS SITE SELECTION PROCESS

8. A R D E A A L B A N A T U R A L P A R K
Existing roads and highway near the site:
• I-69
• State road-37
• Allisonville road
• Binford
• Hamilton downtown road
Potential site near to existing sites satis-
fies all breeding conditions:
• Open water
• Woody wetland
• emergent herbaceous wetland
• 100 feet from road
The new selected site will connect the
nearby existing sites and forms a corridor
as ardea alba’s living habitat.

9. A R D E A A L B A N A T U R A L P A R K
ORRIDOR CONNECTION
The corridor connection creates the possobility of connecting the four breeding
habitats as one ecological corridor for Ardea Alba. During the cold season,
they will fly from north to south for migration. Thus this connection integrifies
the ecological system. Meanwhile, the extending branches of the corridor will
perfectly connect to local park system, which will be potential observation spot
for residents live near there.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
Goal 1: Create a corridor for Ardea Alba, provide habitat for them.
a. Refine existed good condition habitat, clean water body and protect woody
as well as the emergent herbaceous wetland.
b. Build new potential habitat in suitable environment, recover the woody area,
emergent herbaceous wetland and water body.
c. Connect new built habitat with the existed habitat through the design of
bridge, road or trail.
Goal 2: Create a habitat not only for Ardea Alba but also for human.
a. Extend the corridor and connect it with urban green space that human take
activities.
b. Integrate the transportation system that connects to the corridor.
c. Connect the residential area as well as the schools with the corridor; provide
a way for them to be educated.
Goal 3: Create education features in the corridor.
a. Build special path for residential district and schools, make the natural park
is easily accessible.
b. Design education features in this corridor, like lab and observation station.

10. A R D E A A L B A N A T U R A L P A R K
CULTURAL CONNECTION
The cultural connection means the connection of human habitat.
Along the corridor, a series of park sequence will be connected
into the corridor system. As you can see, residentail area as
well as driveway, also the greenway will all be redesigned and
obey to the sequence of the corridor. This strategy will greatly
incerase the city walkability and city interests.

ARDEA ALBA NATURAL PARK CENTER
Ardea Alba Natural Park is a park that not only provides habi-
tat for ardea alba but also creates a large area of public green
space near indianapolis metropolitan area. The park goes from
northeast of indianapolis to Noblesville, which continously goes
more than 20 miles. Four parks consists the whole natural park,
among which the Habitat 3 and Habitat 4 consists the central
park.

12. A R D E A A L B A N A T U R A L P A R K
OBSERVATION TOWER
To prevent the disturb from human activities, the observation
tower is needed on site. This may help reduce the damage to
natural features. The tower has five levels, which will provide
different height for oberserving the bird.

BREEDING HABITAT 3- SITE PLAN
The site plan shows the new developed wetland that for the
future growing colony of ardea alba. The new constructed wet-
land is designed according to the breeding requirement. The
transportation on site mainly based on bike and walk. But open
space like plaza as well as parking still will be provided near
the intersectioin point of driveway and bike lane.
Compare with the before and after
habitat area, the incresed wetland
and woody forest will provide 2
times habitat and breeding area for
ardea alba. And thus, the growing
colony will greatly expand specie
numbers.
Service center, observation deck,
observation tower and open space
are designed on site to satisfy func-
tional necessaty. New plants are
planted to protect the ardea alba
from predetor.
New Constructed wetlands soil
condition: B/D soil is suitable for
wetland construction

14. BOARDWALK
The pedestrain and bike lane are designed with a loop form
around the central park. This makes the park accessable to ev-
eryone. To protect the natural features and prevent the disturb
to bird, the bridges as well as elevated boardwalk is designed.

Field Station Environmental Education Center | Eco-village
Location: Cooper Farm, Muncie, IN
Advisors: Meg Calkins & Miran Day
Team Work with Chao Yang
Year: Spring 2014

Project Scope: This project aims to construct an eco-balanced environmental education campus, which
includes the site planning and design for an FSEEC Land Lab on the Cooper Skinner Field Station prop-
erty in Muncie Indiana. Our goal is to develop a regional Environmental Education Center for the general
public and for Ball State University faculty, researchers and students. All the water, food and energy re-
sources required for the campus are balanced and regenerated on the site. The surplus resources and
energy will be exported to produce economic value. The design demonstrates to residents and visitors
an eco-balanced lifestyle and cultivates the awareness of self-sustain living.

16. I N A S L A M E R I T A W A R D
DESIGN CONCEPT
The design of the Environmental Education Center is inspired by a plant cell. Each system in the
development is equal to a cell organelle. Each system is well organized and relates to the others
while working independently. The operation of the cell is an excellent model for eco-balanced living.
It not only exchanges information in the cell but also communicates with the outside. Through this
inter-exchange and outer-exchange, the cell frequently and efficiently produces and grows, from a
small plant cell to a mature plant.

17. I N A S L A M E R I T A W A R D
SITE DESIGN
To satisfy the demands of on-site research and visitor education, we designed two site programs, the cam-
pus site and the public site.
• The campus site focuses on faculty and students. The laboratory building and scholar housing units are
used for research and living. Vegetable gardens, orchards and livestock provide food to satisfy 50%
of residents’ annual needs.
• The public site will demonstrate an eco-balanced lifestyle to visitors through the use of demonstration
projects in the green technology public education building, the green demonstration house and gar-
den, the early childhood learning center, and the nature play area.

18. I N A S L A M E R I T A W A R D
SYSTEMS DESIGN
Three systems are employed on the site and calcu-
lated to realize the eco-balance goals.
• Water system: Rainwater is captured, treated
and used for potable water. Non-potable wa-
ter, used for toilet flushing and irrigation comes
from wastewater treatment and the storm water
cleansing system. As the rainwater quantities
are not enough, a solar distillation system is
also used for purifying water.
• Food system: The food system, supplying food
for residents and visitors is based on permacul-
ture techniques. Vegetable gardens are coated
around the scholar houses making them eas-
ily accessible. The greenhouse also provides
vegetables for sales in the on-site farm market.
Aquaculture ponds in the greenhouse produce
fish and vegetables. Chickens and cows are
raised in the orchards, sharing space and ben-
efitting each other.
• Energy system: The energy system is com-
prised of renewable solar and wind energy. The
solar panels on the building roof tops primarily
provide the electricity for the on-site buildings.
Wind turbines make up the rest of the energy.
A large solar park is designed near the site en-
trance to produce additional electricity. A biodi-
gestor will process waste and generate energy
for cooking and bus refueling. Net zero energy
and water balanced passive building design:
All of the on-site buildings are designed with
net zero energy and water use. Solar panels on
the roof top provide electricity and solar hot
water. Treated roof top run off is stored in an
underground cistern to provide a potable water
supply for the building. Grey water and black
water produced in the building flow into the de-
signed waste water circulation system.

ECO-BALANCED SITE MODEL
This Eco-balance and self-sustained growing model can become a good
lifestyle model of living for a healthy urban environment. Moreover, the
awareness the design brings to people can rapidly grow and positively
impact our future.

NET-ZERO BUILDING
Laboratory and classroom Building:
The green roof building is designed one side higehr than the other side, whcih allows
the summer wind blows to the adjacent building. Meanwhile, the slope on the roof
makes it possible for the operation of the solar distillation system.

Project Scope: Plants itself possess the function of cleaning
water. The muncie stormwater park shows the stormwater
purification process through telling the story of how plants
absorb, tranport, inflitrite and intilize the water from nature.
The site location provides a good opportunity for stormwater
collection from the avenue as well as the factory. Meanwhile,
the new built will bocome the connection point for all the
green space along the white river. And thus, a corridor
along the river is formed.

PERSPECTIVE1-FLOATING ISLAND
Floating island greatly decreases the
sedimental process and provides life a perfect
habitat. With the flowing water flows year by
year, stormwater cleaning process will be
improved gradually.

26. S T O R M W A T E R P A R K
PERSPECTIVE2-ORCHARD
The orchard is designed at the end of the stormwater
treatment system, which will provide the orchard very
clean water. The fruit will be healthy for visitors. The
falling water from the last stop to orchard not only creates
an interesting space for visitors, but also visually shows
the cleaning process.

27. S P O R T S P A R K
Project Scope: The Blaine Park is designed to encourage people to take part in
sports and make them feel the motion of sports as well as the power. The curves
and the lines just show the path of moving objectives. The collision and the
connection of the lines will create various spaces for activity. Walking through the
park, residents will sufficiently experience the motion.
Inspiration: The idea of motion comes from
sports. Because the sports park is about
to design all types of ball sports. Thus, the
moving curves of the ball inspires me to
design this multiple sports park.

MUNCIE HISTORY PARK PLANTING DESIGN
Location:Downtown Community Revolution, Muncie, IN
Advisor: Susan Tomizawa
Independent work
Year: Spring 2014
The history park is a node of historical
walkable trail. The surrounding
neighborhood and public buildings will
be maximally preserved and restored.
To tell the history of Muncie, the park
is built to memorize the history as well
as provide a good habitat for residents.
So the site will be an attractive and
comfortable place for visitors.
OBJECTIVE AND GOALSLOCATION
Goals4: Separate the commercial area and create a quiet and comfortable place for rest.
The parking lot occupy a large area of space. To create a better visual view of park, planting trees that looks like a screen and create a
relatively closed environment for visitors;
Plant a more attractive entrance that can lead visitors walk from the commercial area to the park;
Plant trees that looks attractive from the perspective of the street.
Goals3: Create a beautiful backyard for neighborhood.
Instead of creating a tree screen that separate the park and the neighborhood, more natural plant design will be extended into the
backyard, and thus attract them walk into the park with their hhchildren;
Plant massed or mixed perennials to create the atmosphere of nature;
In the backyard of every house, the planting design may be various depend on owners’ interests. However, there should be some
similar plants be used to unity to whole neighborhood’s backyard planting design.
Goals1: Strengthen the significance of history
Plant trees in line to direct the axis of the park and lead visitors to follow the footprint of historical buildings;
Select the plants that could represent the character of Muncie and make it as a symbol;
For the old buildings that are restored with contemporary elements and technology, the planting design near these constructions can
be divided into two directions. A natural one and an artificial one.
Goals 2: Improve the walkability of Muncie
The walkable trail on this selected site is a just a part of the trail of the whole design. To make this partial trail connected with others
and also obviously indicate the identity of this site;
Create a corridor by design the plants.

30. P L A N T I N G D E S I G N
Based on the geometry
form of the park, the
planting design will follow
the principle of the design.
The curves as well as the
grid both indicates the
history symbols of the park.
So the choice of plants all
follow the rules.

Project Scope: When you bike around the Ball State Univeristy, you can find out
that there is no bike lane for bicyclists. They have to share the road with vihecle or
the sidewalk with pedestrain. This causes a lot of safety problem. Espencially for
those street section where has narrow space, drop off area and cross for bike and
vehicle to share How to deal with this problem if we don’t want to spend money on
reconstruction the roaad or build a new bike lane?
2012 National Survey on Bicyclist and
Pedestrain Attitudes and Behaviors
In 2012, the average age of bicyclists killed
in cashes with motor vehicles was 43 yesars
old, up from 32 in 1998, and 24 in 1988.

INSPIRATION:
The paved bike lane is inspired
by the worker who pait the road
with the standard modules.
The bike lane will be paved with pre-designed
modules. The size of the module is 2’ by 2’,
which just fit in the standard bike lane width.
And to prevent the car crush into the lane,
the connected two modules will stand at the
boundry of the paved lane and form a buffer
for the safety of people.
The connection of the bike lane modules can
be solved by the interlocking edge, which
makes the lane goes smoothly and the buffer
stand stablely.
