[Concept Development] Designing for experience: human centered design- This style of space making focuses on the creation of ‘moments of engagement’ or opportunities for the dynamics of life and emotions to occur. This is done by placing design emphasis on people; designing with culturally relevant solutions and with the quality of audience experience at the forefront of the design. Human centered design emphasizes the experience of the visitor instead of designing places of functionality and efficiency.

[Concept Diagrams ] With public-works it’s important to explain the concept with simple visuals and non-technical terms. So Citizens understand why this project is important to them.

Location- Pinal County, Casa Grande Arizona

Activist Agency- Pinal County Open Space Initiative

Working with the Concepts- *Living and Building with Wildlife*Urban Ecology -Riparian in the city*Increasing Urban Wildlife biological diversity*Providing social-cultural needs for citizens*Public Buildings in order to protect wildlands *Ecological Research -Wildlife Corridors*Research - Riparian Geomorphology*Research -Sonoran Desert Wildlife

Project Statment: Right now, we are living in ‘The sixth Great Mass Extinction’ of Earth’s history. Globally, scientists predict that by the end of this century, half of this planet’s wild-species will be extinct. The culprit is human habitat development; as our cities sprawl outward, the wildlands next to our homes have decreased in acreage. This project explores a solution -the idea that human development can exist intermingled with the wildlife ecosystems and both can blend together to become a bio city.

Full project: www.TwistOfUnique.com

Thesis|Landscape Ecology

BioDiversity- The Biocity intends to increase habitat diversity –for both wildlife and people by designing a biologically diverse land area where there are several species, and human activities with an equal distribution. This is done so that no one plant or animal species, nor human socio-economic activity uncharacteristically dominates above all others.

If we dont start now there will be a sunrise, one morning, where there are no songbirds to greet the dawn. There be will an afternoon, when there are no butterflies dancing upon the winds. There will come a midnight with a moon full in the sky, but there will be no coyote songs.

There will be questions too; young eyes will look towards us, the stewards of their land. What do we say when our children turn to us and ask, “Why are we so alone? Where did all the butterflies go?”

Will our answer be, “We forgot to build them homes too?”

Proximity- As wildlife biodiversity diminishes, if wildlife is to be pro-tected, its habitat must be integrated into locations where people can see it, people can interact with it, and people can become familiar with wildlife and its habitat can enrich their lives.

Experience - There is no greater teacher then personal experience. If natural places are to be preserved then it is imperative that people are able to walk among the trees, touch the earth, listen to he birds and find kinship with other living things. For an individual can ever understand what loss is, until they have experienced what they are loosing.

Education - The only way the ‘natural look’ is going to be accepted by the public, who see it as messy, is through education. The site incorporates signs, banners, and plant plaques to make information available to the public. So that they too can realize that nature and natural are designs too.

[Development Plan] The plan diagrams for this project include documentation for both Citizens and wildlife. Labeling the plan diagram was done this way to reveal the complexity of the site in a visual manor. This makes it easier for the client to see what is going on for people and then for wildlife and where they overlap.

Fragmentation

Looking at land fragmentationIn the broadest way, habitat fragmentation is the physical fracturing of once continuous habitat, often by man-made modifications to the biological land surface (including water, vegetation, bare soil) into smaller sized habitat lands called patches. For wildlife these patches are often so small that the land can no longer sustain the ecological interactions between different wildlife types, thus this land often has little

value for wildlife as habitat.

In addition, fragmentation of land into patches means that as interior space becomes smaller in size, edge conditions are able to take over; this reduces the populations of

rare interior species and makes room for common generalist and ‘weedy species’.

As Interior habitat and species Decreases Edge habitat and species Increases

08|Phenology [Phenology and data Mapping] The diagram is the visual representation of data on the seasonal animal life cycle of Az amphibians and what habitat and food items these animals require to thrive in their natural habitat.

Arizona Wildlife Species Information

TO UNDERSTAND The Wildlife phenology was created in order to understand Sonoran Desert wildlife as a subject matter. So that the needs of the wildlife would be understood before the design process started.

TO IDENTIFY The Wildlife phenology looked at the Sonoran desert wildife in order to identiy which wildlife would be affected by the loss of ripairan wildlands -- 19 Orders looked at

TO KNOW The Wildlife phenology was used to gather all the information a designer needed to know about the sonoran wildlife in order to make a corridor rehibilitation effect:

The gateway steps- The city floods, and that water travels along this once roadway into the riparian zone. “The gateway steps” are a flood control measure that is able to retain stormwater flows and prevent them from bring dirty petro-chemical water into the riparian channel, and at the same time allows these waters to infiltrate through sand filter to refill the aquifer. (signs are provided for education about this process) This area supports water hungry trees and creates a unique experience for visitors to watch the monsoon events under the cottonwood trees.

Activities at the edge- biodiversity- sports activities are behind the unmovable shops, so if activity spaces wish to expand the parking lot, not the wildlands, will have to be removed.

Farmers market biodiversity (interior and exterior) - The week-end Market is provided outside. During the week visitors can go to the indoor farmers market were food is sold by a shop. The shop is owned by the local farmers and their food is sold there for people who could not make the weekend market.

About this area:

Coyote

Name:Canis LatransFavorate food:Requires mice, rats, insects and rabbits before its able to make a home in our garden!

Favorate habitat:Requires an upland habitat zone before its able tomake a home in our community’s garden!

Did you know: a variety of calls which help defend their territory as well as strengthen bonds and communication

Class: Mammalia Order: Carnivora Family: Canidae

The sky deck- The bridge and sky deck are nestled within the branches the cottonwood forests and it seemingly appears to hoover above all the action on the riparian floor below. Here Wildlife can be seen in close proximity while their habitat remains un-trampled by human footsteps; a compromise for the residents of both habitats.

A biodiversity of activity takes place on the sky deck. Civilized birding - where birders can watch and listen to the wildlife while having morning coffee at one of the many tables provided. Wildlife tours - tours provided by the wildlife center- these guided tours provided education to the public about the importance of this habitat. The sky bridge- the bridges provide interesting walking terrain and unique views- some at the tops of the trees, others right at ground level. Lunch- at the tables provided, people can picnic at the treetops of cottonwoods.

Bug and bird windows: These are escape hatches (on all buildngs) for wildlife (bugs, birds, bats) so they do not become trapped in a building. Built as an exit not entrance.

Bee homes: bees are an extremely important part of the Sonoran ecosystem- where there are flowers on site, bee home have been provided and signs to educate about them.

Bird houses: are provided on the outdoor roofs, making use of this space for song birds- yep there are poop gards too so people below dont have to worry. (proximity)

Beware: do not overwater, good drainage; good planted on hills to preclude overwatering Beware: THORNS! everywhere

NOTES: Recently planted ocotillos should be watered by spraying the canes. They can look dead for several months before sprouting leaves.

NOTES: Ocotillos are. Limestone rock stores (and then gives off during cold nights) more heat than most rocks, and limestone weathers into a thin soil, both of which favor desert-adapted plants at higher elevations. Indeed, “desert vegeta-tion in general extends about 1000 feet (300 m) higher in elevation on lime-stone...” (ASDM 2000).
