Landscape Parametric Design in Owens Valley
Voronoi Diagram and parametric tessellation. I should keep learning Rhino and Grasshopper. A ZA!

The first chance for me to apply the basic parametric design in landscape architecture. There is a long way to go. A Za A Za Fighting!
To help control the PM-10 pollution of Owen’s Valley, my partner Benjamin and I provided a plan that will help control the dust through the work of a grasshopper script […]
Exploring the Owen’s Valley brought a particular place that is often overlooked by many travelers to one’s acknowledgement. Eidetic videos helped student’s become more of aware of the feel, emotion and […]
When first arriving to Owen’s Valley, I really did not know what to expect of this place. Year after year, passing along the 395 Hwy for family vacations, I have […]
As we created abstract markings and hatches from our wind drawings, we were to explore how to make a machine that can make markings and drawings that were enforced by […]
Mapping alignments that were interconnected and adjacent to the lake revealed the physical existing conditions of the lake and influenced the conditions of proposed earthwork patterns. The selection of the […]
Translation is an exercise in abstraction. This series of wind drawings attempts to capture the multi-layered nature of wind patterns across the Owens Valley landscape using mylar paper and audio-recordings […]
From the beginning, Barry’s approach to the class made me somewhat uncomfortable; the idea of designing for a future scenario, and not getting caught up in the constraints of today. […]
In a way I can’t decide if the resource colony is a more benign form of colonialism or a more offensive one. European colonialism in Africa, Asia, and Latin America […]
As Project 4 was coming to end we were finally seeing how all the assignments were coming together. How all the phases we had done before added to our final […]
For our final project, we gathered all of our information and created variables from them which we put into a Rhinoceros 5 plugin called Grasshopper. Working with parameters and components, […]
During our fourth week of the quarter, our studio packed our bags and traveled to the Owens Valley. We brought along our basic survival gear such as food and tents, […]
Along with the previous exercises, our first real attempt on creating patterns in the landscape was with the use of clay. We were instructed to envision our sculpting tools as […]
For this assignment, we were tasked to create a machine that would move from direct influences in its environment, and by attaching different drawing mediums we systematically created a drawing […]
For the Spring 2015 quarter at Cal Poly Pomona, we had the opportunity to learn about the Owens Lake in our studio class. To dive in, we attempted a series […]
Computer programming was something I had always wanted to grasp more upon. Every design must have a verbal and visual language, and computer programming seems to be one of the ways […]
Writing our project narrative was probably the most exciting part in our design. We had to really sit down and think about what the project is about and how it […]
History shows that there is a consistent reaction (by some), against new technology. This subset of people often believe that the new technology represents some type of negative shift in […]
As a former science teacher, we had an instructional model called the 5E model: Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate. This is “Problem-based learning” at it’s best…
