Introduction
Though the work in this portfolio doesnt have a shared theme or subject,
there is a common thread running from start to finish. From my liberal arts
education, I have been taught to question and critique. These projects are not
answers to design problems. Instead, each creates a jumping-off point from
which to advance. The projects explore multiple perspectives and mediums,
and some have raised more questions than answers. I value these projects the
most. They have shifted my focus in different directions, but with each project
the question becomes more compelling.

Site Strategy
Planting Strategy
By dividing the length of the railline into three zones, the right-of-way
is transformed into a physical representation of a trees growth. As each group
grows, it is moved down the line until the trees can be transported to be used
as street trees. This creates a dense planting scheme for the park, while also
drastically reducing the distance traveled per street tree for the Somerville
area.

Defining Order
I began to explore how the relationship between order and
chaos could be projected into three-dimensions. Diagram 1
displays duration of time spent per node and which nodes were
connected. Diagram 2 reduces all edge information to simple
connections from one node to another. While this ignores the
intricacies found in the first diagram, it presents a clear formal
language for delineating order between nodes.
Ultimately it was this formal language that was used to indicate
order within the landscape. This subtle introduction suggests
orders, but does not prescribe in. By simply suggesting order,
the intervention sets the stage for chaos to ensue.
Creating Chaos
As in the first diagram, it was important for the chaos in the
landscape to occur in the spaces between nodes. To create the
framework from which chaos ensued, a grid was positioned
over the diagram. At every intersection on the grid a timber
pole was positioned to mark the framework. This intervention
creates an ordered, rational structural system, while
simultaneously registering chaotic activity within the system.
The nodes in the diagram were translated into open spaces,
where one would remain static within the landscape. As one
travels through the gridded landscape he or she is faced with
two options: to follow the path suggested by the rope, or to
move freely throughout the grid.

Art 302 and the Trip to Connecticut College
This map shows the journeys made by the fifteen students of Art 302 from their
hometown to Connecticut College. The lines depict the angle and distance between
their major waypoints. Each point and line is scaled according to a map of the
Continental United States. Additionally, the map and associated graphs depict the
various modes of transportation utilized in the course of these journeys.
