Comment on Stormwater Management by Juliet Fogarty

Wow, these are definitely some great ideas. Hopefully successful implementation of such tactics in Oregon will inspire the rest of the country to take similar measures. In related news, the state of Florida is considering forming a task force to decide whether landscape architects or engineers are best suited to develop stormwater management systems. If it passes, perhaps the contractors would take into account the environment, resulting in such “green” designs being implemented here as well.

Good looking project. I bet it feels good to be done. Nice model pictures, especially the ones with hands in them!

Comment on Incorporating intermediate spaces within the over spaces by Steph

I’m struggling with how to deal with the space between the buildings and expressway too. One thing I need to focus on is how the new (pretend) buildings will change the place and what needs the new residents and workers will have. Adding buildings with two more floors – including residences – could definitely change the area. It could drastically increase the foot traffic. Office workers would want places to have lunch, and everyone would like coffee…maybe Perks would move down to the new buildings to expand and upgrade the space. I imagine more restaurants could come in, too, and so patio space around the buildings. Hmm…people may have dogs. I can’t believe no one has incorporated any kind of dog walk area. Maybe that’s what I’ll do with some of the “now what?” left over areas.

I really like your sketches, they look good. What exactly is phyto remediation? I think I have an idea: constructed wetlands and bio-swales and that sort of thing, but I am not sure if that really is the same thing.

I like the temporal quality of the last video. The idea that your phenomena lasts over a short period of time is intriguing. :0) You could almost relate it to something completely different yet similar as far as time. Or you could study the movement of the light with the movement of a brain wavelength as it processes what it just saw.

I don't have much to say, as we talked a bit before you posted. Speaking of resiliency, I am reminded of an old high school friend of mine who currently lives in New Orleans and I am passing on some things he wrote about the city after Katrina. It's not really what he says about how the storm changed things, but about how communities work and how people conceive of a place they call home. Perhaps you will find something to bring in what Brad is saying above... perhaps not, but his writing is beautiful (English and Film Studies teacher) and, I think, it's worth the couple minutes. scroll to the The Meaning of Community Hauling: An Update from New Orleans

In regards to the idea of the palimpsest, is the site incorporating the past or is it a starting point that begins to mark future events? How do you mark the past without trying to recreate it as a theme park of past disasters…

This layering concept could begin to find similarities between cultures/time periods/uses/disasters that it uses as an armature for subsequent layers.

Good post, lots to digest. My comments are much shorter…
