2. This studio portfolio is divided into two distinct parts. Part I (Page 3-11) documents the
process of exploring and understanding the fundamentals of landscape architecture.
This involved an exercise of visualizing ephemeral landscapes, conducting a transect
study, and discovering & modifying landscape typologies. Part I culminated in a
final mid-review project of altering a landscape based on the modifiers of landscape
typologies. Part II (Page13-29) documents the final studio project that involved
the redesign of the proposed Richmond Ferry terminal at the Port of Richmond,
California. Portfolio Part II documents this design process and includes the final
design posters, on page 27-29.

4. Ephermeral Sketches
Exercise 1.1
These series of watercolor drawings were developed
in order to capture ‘ephemeral’ landscapes. The
Campanile Tower was used as a subject for these
series of drawings.
5. Transect Study
Exercise 1.2
The Modalities of Informal Settlements along Infrastructural Elements
was the subject of this transect study. The purpose of this study
was to document and explore the different ways people inhabitat
spaces along the West Berkeley Industrial Park. This required field
visits to conduct an informal survey of how many different modes of
settlements existed along this 3-mile route.
6. Transect Study
Exercise 1.2
This layered diorama was used to represent the various layers that
people of informal settlements used, in order to create privacy
and safety for themselves. The existence of overgrown vegetation,
fenced in underutilized spaces, and large infrastructure elements
were identified as favorable conditions for informal inhabitation.

Modifying Typologies
Exercise 1.3
Exercise 1.3 analyzed existing typologies along the transect route and to
modify them in several ways. The graphic above presents the existing landuse
typologies on the far left and the various transformations that occurred with
modifiers like, Permeate, Fragment, Encroach, & Diversify.

Modifying Typologies
Exercise 1.3
In order to further analyze the modified typologies, applying verticality and
materiality allowed the graphics to manifest in a more physical form. This
allowed for better understanding of the interactions of the land uses.
9. FRAGMENT THE CITY
SCALE: 1”=600’
Modifying the Landscape
Exercise 1.4
This exercise acted as an experiment to apply the modifiers explored in
exercise 1.3 onto a real landscape at three different scales. Using the modifier
“Fragment”, the city of Richmond, CA was fragmented and envisioned as
a network of canals across the city. The graphic on the left illustrates the
‘mashing’ of Richmond and the canal city of Amsterdam. These maps were
both“Fragmented” and collaged together to be retitled: Richsterdam.
10. FRAGMENT THE DISTRICT
SCALE: 1”=200’
Modifying the Landscape
Exercise 1.4
Fragmenting the district zooms in from the city scale of the previous drawing
to the district level. This was intended to better understand interactions among
buildings and existing city infrastructure. The graphic on the far left depicts
The Marina Bay Community and the Boreno Sporenburg, a housing project in
Amsterdam, overlayed together to illustrate the future land uses of The Richmond
Canals.
11. FRAGMENT THE SITE
SCALE: 1”=600’
Finally, “Fragmenting” the Site illustrates how the canals can transform a site
and encourage new and exciting uses. The graphic on the left is a visualization
of the canals being used similar to that of Venice’s canals adjacent to the
historic Ford Assembly Plant.

12. BORENO SPORENBURG
MARINA BAY COMMUNITY
+
These models interpret the drawing at the district scale. The models transforms
the existing portion of Richmond’s industrial waterfront by fragmenting it and
applying two distinct building patterns. One of the building patterns is a sub-
urban master planned community, “The Marina Bay Community”, located in
Richmond, CA. The other is the “Boreno Sporenburg” located in the city of
Amsterdam.

Scale and Precedent Studies
Exercise 2.1
The precedent and scale case study exercise was
an attempt to understand the function of waterfronts
as well as understanding what could potentially fit
within the Richmond project site.
15. Site Impression
Exercise 2.2
Vignettes were used to capture the initial impressions
of the site during the studio site visit. This illustration
captures how the Craneway Pavilion affects the
environment of the site by creating two distinct
microclimates on either side of the pavilion. On one
side of the site the environment is warm and sunny,
while the other side is cold and shady.
16. Site Impression
Exercise 2.2
This vignette illustrates how the Craneway
Pavilion affects the environment below the pier
structure. The large pavilion and pier structure
creates a dark shadow preventing sunlight to
penetrate deep below.
17. Sectional Model
Exercise 2.2
Creating an undulating landform at the water’s edge
was a strategy to lessen the impact of the ocean
waves. In terms of materiality, the water’s edge was
envisioned as a large artificial tidal pool that would
allow for the habitation of marine wildlife.
19. Folded Model
Exercise 2.3
The folded chipboard surface model was a method
of experimentation to develop new forms. The
constraint of the material allows for unusual and
unique forms to be generated in order for new
interpretations of spaces to manifest.
20. Lightly Rendered Plan
Exercise 2.3
This lightly rendered site plan was derived from
previous folded surface model. The site plan
represents the various programs and spaces that will
be integrated in the plan.

COASTAL SCRUB PALLETTE
GRASSLANDS PALLETTE
“Among the many California shrub vegeta-
tion types, “coastal scrub” is appreciated
for its delightful fragrances and intri-
cate blooms that characterize the coastal
experience.It is sometimes referred to as
soft chaparral because of its flexible
stems and foliage, herbaceous understory,
intergradation with coastal prairie, and
smoother appearance in the landscape.”
“Less than one
percent of California’s
native grassland is
still intact today.”

Exercise 2.5
To further the design of the project, these material/plant palette
boards were created to select which types of materials would
be used for the design. This also includes a planting plan which
was created in order to select plant types as well as developing
a planting strategy.

26. Rhino Model
Exercise 2.5
The Rhino Model was an integral part of the design process.
It allowed for a better investigation of the design ideas. It also
served as an important base used for the visual perspectives,
exploded axonometric, and the birds eye oblique graphics.
