Dredge City: Sediment Catalysis

Matthew Moffitt, Student ˿Ƶ, Undergraduate,

Faculty Advisor: Sean Burkholder

Unprecedented levels of nutrients currently trigger toxic algae blooms and elicit Lake Erie as a restoration success story. The remediation and re-use of nutrient-laden dredge material are essential strategies within future restoration efforts. Dredge City: sediment catalysis proposes the use of Edison Park in Toledo, Ohio as the site for both the processing of and exposure to sediment gouged from the Toledo Shipping Channel, the greatest producer of material within the Great Lakes system.

Paths of Life- Rethink the Relationship Between Different Agriculture Landscapes and Community Life

Yitian Zhao, Student ALSA and Siyu Tian, Student ˿Ƶ, Graduate,

Faculty Advisors: Laurie Olin, F˿Ƶ, Tony Atkin, Gavin Riggall, and Katy Martini

Because of the very unique climate and landform in New Mexico, the traditional pueblo life style is deeply relying on the understanding and exploiting of local landscape. However, contemporary residential development in this area is somehow ignored such kind of relationship. This project rethought and applied the traditional understanding of agriculture landscape into the contemporary residential development design.

Natural Water as Cultural Water / A 30 Year Plan for Wabash River Corridor in Lafayette

Daniel (Zhicheng) Xu, Student ˿Ƶ, Undergraduate,

The design solution is an embodiment of cultural representation and technology of stormwater management in order to achieve ecological and social resilience. With potential for spontaneous use and dynamic programing, the site can transform into a sustainable infrastructure with a cultural identity that provides active waterfront experience.
