Harbor Point, MarylandHarbor Point in Baltimore, Maryland, is a brownfield site that used to host a chromium plant. Redevelopment of this prime waterfront location provides an opportunity to improve the community’s relationship with the water, and each other. It will also act as a magnet to draw in investment and people from outside the area.

Fells Point

Harbor Point

Harbor East

Inner Harbor

Harbor Point is located near the historicaly popular Inner Harbor that houses the Baltimore Aquarium, and the increasingly desireable area of Fells Point, home to many young professionals. The design includes market-rate and low income housing, office, ground floor retail, and ample public space. The site is connected back to the existing community through bridges and a continuous path around the development.

An intriguing aspect to this site is its interface with the water. The bay was already busy with boats and waterborn activities, so the design included transportation nodes with access to water taxis. These taxis ran often and gave convenient access between Harbor Point and the Inner Harbor.

Mang’ula, TanzaniaA small village sandwiched between a protected national park, and a privately owned sugar cane farm, Mang’ula is facing change from both population growth and climate change. Very few of the residents have formal education, and do not have the resources to solve some of these growing issues. Their need for solutions to major issues catalyzed a research project in the field, that culimnated in a report looking at changes the village residents could make to improve their situation, all without additional monetary inputs.

Due to a high illiteracy rate, images and diagrams with minimal wording was necessary. These images can be made into signs or posters for farmers to read and understand what they need to do to accomplish a task.

Crops and trees were measure and researched in order to provide farmers with designs that would involve multiple crops grow together, while also improving soil quality. Legumes, for instance, planted next to maiz provide nitrogen to increase crop yeild.

Ensuring an adequate number of residences to support local retail without relying on tourism is important. Larger companies are given the opportunity to create small office campuses for their workers. This affords them the opportunity to live close to work or, if they live elsewhere, to still enjoy a vibrant social atmosphere during the work day.

I was contacted to assist in creating realistic 3D terrain models of the United States. My workflow started from contour data in ArcGIS, to ArcScene, and finally to Rhino. Slight adjust-ments in the data allowed me to create a wooden MDF model that was cut on a C&C router.
