7. LAYERED LANDSCAPES
Image Reclassification – GIS
Black Water National Wildlife Refuge, Maryland
Project Description
Perform a supervised classification using aerial photography with 4-
band (true-color and color-infrared) and 1-foot resolution image
Problem:
The increase of cultivated areas threatens ecologically sensitive
areas, such as wetlands, water and forest. The solution to mitigate
this problem was to identify the different classes types to formulate
‘Training Samples’ of the 4-band (true-color and color-infrared) and 1-foot
guidelines for the future. The categorization of the land cover resolution image inform the Image Classification Tool in ArcMap
classes (forest, cultivated field, barren area, developed/impervious,
wetland and water) can be accomplished through the analysis of
aerial photography.
Strategies:
This image is resulted from remote sensing information that
provides information about the features within the study area.
Image Classification tool provide an computerized method to
classify the areas, classes in an image, by using training samples
polygon analysis per land cover class.
Application:
The classification and analysis of the different land cover areas allows
us to see the evolution of each class such as the increase or
decrease of natural areas in urban areas or to classify different spatial
configuration of ecologically sensitive areas in regional landscapes.

2011 ULI Hines Urban Design Competition – First Place , NC Chapter
Mt. Baker Station Seattle, Washington
"North Rainier, a Design to Nurture Growth" focused on creating a revitalized
urban core in an existing underutilized commercial/ industrial area in central Seattle.
By combining the efforts of architects, landscape architects and MBA disciplines the
competition sought a design solution that was based both on creativity,
functionality, and economic feasibility. Goals of the project were to create a mixed
use village that could leverage the newly constructed light-rail station with new
programmatic elements in a dynamic walkable urban realm.
14. URBAN/ TRANSIT LANDSCAPES
Victoria Station Revisioning, London, UK
A proposal for a re-envisioned transit hub in
Central London, the master plan utilizes a
concept inspired by the ‘Warp and Weft’ of the
existing urban fabric and explores the
integration of a new pattern language into an
existing linear rail vocabulary. Cross linkages
span linear ‘vectors’ that mimic the linear rail
corridor. Urban spaces are strategically situated
to form pockets of public, democratic ‘moments’.
Within the station itself, legibility and clarity were
the primary goals. Combining transit modes
both through circulation and proximity created
new opportunities to enhance the transit
experience.
