The business center is located in the suburbs and includes office spaces, a hotel, and convention facilities arranged around a central plaza. The thesis project proposes an exhibition center complex with a pedestrian bridge, public plaza, art gallery, and auditorium to serve as a dedicated space for exhibitions in Pune.
Reconstructing Water Levels in the Lake Michigan Basin from Embayed LakesSERC at Carleton College
This document discusses reconstructing past water levels in the Lake Michigan basin from sediment cores taken from embayed lakes. Lake level histories can be determined from geomorphic evidence like stranded shorelines and submerged forests, as well as sedimentological evidence like layers of sand, peat, marl, and gyttja in cores. Cores from small embayed lakes can preserve records of fluctuations in large lake levels over thousands of years. Comparing data from multiple sites allows development of a composite lake level curve for the region.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

study. Buffalo Aquifer Park becomes one of an outer ring of parks around the Ru.3a
area designed to establish hydrological resiliency through strategic land-use.
It aids in preventing flooding, while re-charging aquifers, in addition to a long
list of other environmental and economic benefits, including serving residents
with a vast program of year-round recreation.

/Fargo-Moorhead, ND-MN
This award winning thesis integrated high-performance landscapes with carbon fiber windstalks (4a)

system accessible up to the 100 year flood. The solution of ‘weaving‘ the cantilever bench (4c)
cast concrete
2x4 treated wood
trails of the three major park types (Rural preventative, Suburban mitiga- stainless steel support

tive, and Urban interpretive) fortuitiously derived from the bending river rock underbed
paving pattern of the existing Memorial Bridge project that joins the
hearts of downtowns Fargo and Moorhead. This also led to the interwo- planting

As an individual excerpt from a post-industiral urban infill team project, my
Festival
design takes form with elements complementing the shipyard heritage of Park
the site. The shape of the ship slips is noted in the elongated water feature
running the axis of the site and in the industrial I-beam seating. Multi-surface
groundcover and wooden planks embedded in the plaza give nod to the
wooden decking of a ship. Riprap boulder seating complements areas of the sli

In the NDSU urban design studio we were challenged, as a team, to create a form-based plan and regulation standards for an
urban infill development on a former cement plant site in the Duluth Harbor Basin. Seeing the strengths of each team member,
I became the organizer and go-to person, as such I quickly developed into the project leader. Our team created booklet which
included our design for the site with write-ups for building use, street types, and open space standards.

/Vedauwoo, WA
The objective here was to create a series of outposts for a satallite summer campus
of international landscape architecture study. GIS and handdrawn analysis were
used to place outposts, each covering a specified aspect of the overall program.
Outposts include: central Lodge built into the slope of the main rocky outcrop,
computer lab and library atop Turtle Rock overlooking the valley, main classrooms
in the northern prairie of rocky rifts called Tarsus, an observatory in the open field
of Devil’s Playground, a natural amphiteather built of restructuring rocks, firepit,
meditation study huts within aspen groves, study rooms located along the river, and
cabins of recycle rail-cars built into massive boulders.

As part of my Environmental Design degree I combined an ecological

The resulting explorations of ditch design to solve for

with a computer component theme including ‘USB plug’ sculture seating of local sandstone, motion sensored multi-

In Printer’s Row, a historic downtown district of Chicago, Dearborn Park became
a rundown thoroughfare. The park lay barren and derilect, the grass dead from
dog use. The re-design takes into consideration needs of local residents, a
demographic few in children, many dog-owners, and large student population,
contributes to the area’s historical narrative, preserves existing planting, and
maintains a flexible program for additional and future uses.

/13th Arrondissment, Paris, France
The final project in my english course, Writing in the Design Profession,
was to draft a design proposal and prepare it for translation. ‘Mixed-Genre‘
and ‘Mash-up‘ culture prompted the pitch for the small park in a dense
mixed-use area, as multi-purpose with multi-functional site furnature,
aesthetically bridging the locational architectual gap between the old and
new, ‘classical‘ & ‘modern.’

My professor, Merlyn Paulson, once told me, “Unless you write it
down, it didn’t happen. Always carry a sketchbook.” Ever since, I
have carried one with me. Some pages are refined with elegant
drawings, some in full color, others merely scribbles only I can
decipher. To me, the act of drawing an object or place allows
you to know it, capturing it in your memory a way a snapshot
can not.

OBJECTIVE
My immediate aim is to build towards
my Landscape Architect licensure.
I am seeking a firm that is looking
to make the addition of a hardworking,
eager, determined, ethical, good- “YOUR WORK IS TO DISCOVER YOUR WORK
humored, talented, professional, to AND THAN WITH ALL YOUR HEART
their team.
TO GIVE YOURSELF TO IT.
THAT’S THE MARK OF A TRUE PROFESSIONAL.”
ABOUT ME -Buddha
VC.HEFTI PLANNING + DESIGN// 2013
I am an avid outdoors enthusiast & a
wellrounded nerd.
Jogging, biking, hiking, and snow-
boarding are my joys in life. These are
balanced with a vigor to learn and
explore. WIRED, Nat Geo, classic literature
like A Sand County Almanac, LAM, Co-
Design, Hustwit films, TEDtalks, and site
visits are on my list of interests.
I’m not a fan of talking about my-
self, but discussing Landscape
Architecture always lights a spark
in me. Particularly, I am drawn to
high-performance landscape design
in community development & public
space, re-assessing the value of
land. It is my passion, my calling, to
advance the field with better design
through greater understanding.
