Inventory & Analysis
Being one of the most crucial elements of a project, Inventory andAnalysis sets the foreground work and help to produce an intent for each
individual design. For the Regent, ND project, my group, consistingof myself, Zack Swanson, Nathan Hill, and Leroy Grant, focussedour inventory and analysis on the history of Regent, Other groupsfocussed their inventory and analysis on the subjects of buildinganalysis and facades, uses of the site, soils and other materials,
light and light pollution, earth air fire and water, slope andcontours, circulation, demographics, site in context, long
range plans, mass/void analysis, and utilities andinfrastructure. Using all of the information collected fromevery group we were able to provide the best designs
relative to the town and the townspeople.
Inventory and analysis, for a project centRegent, ND, began with researching th
history back to its origins. Researching tpast helps to determine what and how a made. Knowing Regents history enable
to incorporate certain historicelements, and us

Inventory & Analysis
This project shows that by c ombining information collected, a new analysis can be intelligently made. The imagthe bottom of this page represent the Fargo, ND downtown area at 9 a.m. during first the winter solstice, then th
equinox, and finally the summer solstice. Each of the images show the amount of shade projected by the buildings inarea, courtesy of a Google Sketch - Up model provided by Prof. Paul Gleye. The compilation of shaded/sunny area
helped my group, consisting of myself, Malini Foobalan, and Danielle Jermyn, to come up with areas that would be possibfor more greenery in downtown Fargo, shown in the above image in yellow. By assessing these areas of possibility, we came u
with another image/map that conveys possible locations for green roofs, shown in the image to the left in green.

This project focusses on all areas of inventory and analysis. The different groups for exploringthis material included mine, solar access and green roof possibilities, building analysis, history,
community stories, uses of the site, businesses in the area, soil and other materials, earthair fire and water, light, light pollution and seasonal issues, slope/contours, circulation,
building materials, building facades, mass/void analysis, pervious/imperviouspavement, zoning analysis, demographics, railroad analysis, model building, utilities

to rejuvenate downtown Fargo, ND. In thisproject my attempt at rejuvenation consists ofcreating new plaza and parking lot in the center
of downtown.

Hardscape
&Softscape Materials
Created by hand, this master plan drawing, done for the Site Development/DetailingI class, shows Riverfront Park, located on the Moorhead side of the Red River,
redesigned to incorporate new utilities, walkways, mini parks, and its ownparking lot. Decision of where each of the new design pieces were
to be placed, bases itself back onto a thorough inventoryand analysis done previously to the design.
The other drawings on this page show different perspectives of how the design could possiblybe viewed and also a section cut drawing, done to emphasize the large facade of the building
in which the design was placed in contrast to small distance to the busy street. The distancebetween building facade and street gave me the conclusion to have this piece be primarilyfor passer-by drivers to help break up the cookie cutter metal mania industrial area that is
driven through on Main Ave. in Fargo, ND.
This piece, being viewed from across thestreet for a longer amount of time, showsthe different agricultural areas of North
Dakota and where each crop is mostlyplanted. The green walls on either side ofthe central ND shaped piece show how the
state has grown from wildflowers to foodcrops

Revitalizing Downtown FargoLocated on E. side of Broadway, N. of Fort Knox Bar
This project shows how something as simple as a new parkinglot and improved use of space can help to revitalize a place.
This is done by creating a friendly plaza with moregreenery to attract people to the outside views
of the downtown Fargo area. Upon beingoutside people will notice more things
such as storefronts and help toimprove consumerism.
This drawing shows the plan view of the design. Transforming from an old dirt parking lot into one of parking lot/plaza combinations in Downtown Fargo, ND.
Created bycombination of

R.A. Steen Community Center Located in Wolseley, Manitoba, Canada
This project shows how a small town can become more pedestrianand event friendly by addition of connecting pathways and placesto hold events along it. These images all depict the Assiniboine riv-erfront along the property of the R.A. Steen Community Center.The addition of the dock invites events such as the l ongest skatingrink and boaters to visit the site for just a stop along their way ormaybe an afternoon picnic. The flags on the floating dock tie thesite to Wolesely by incorporating their towns uniquebanners that carry across their whole community.- All image were created using Google Sketch - Up for my model.

Walking Through History Located in Regent, NDThis project shows how history can be incorporated into something done everyday. By creating a pathway that windsthroughout the most history rich areas of the town of Regent, ND, gives both visitors and residents something to doenjoy while learning and exploring. The path uses recycled metal, relating to the local artists work with metalsculptures, wooden planks, and bricks as the materials. The different materials set the pace while walking along thepath. The metal being the majority of the walking area, the wood notifying that something is coming, and the brick
being a stopping point at which there is something historic.
Ascent Snow Symposium Project
This project combined thetalents of Lyle Witham,Seann Ringwall, and myself tocreate somethingmeaningful that can be createdout of snow for theWinnipeg Festival duVoyageur. In honor of the up-coming winter Olympic gamesbeing held inCanada, we created a piecethat abstractly mimics theatmosphere ofVancouver and theOlympic winter games.This was done by creatinga mountain range, similar tothat of Vancouvers, andplacing the Olympic ringsinside it as steps. The stepsare representative of ahumans aspiration forsuccess, the climb to the topbeing his or her ownAscent.
This image is a plan view ofthe model created in Google

Rings being the most

The above image shows the measurements that this piece is proposed tobe within. The height being the most prominent feature.

Walking Through HistoryLocated in Regent, ND
The materials for this projectwere very specifically chosen dueto what they intended to represent.As previously stated the recycled metal
is used for the main portion of the walkway,the wooden planks for the awareness of somethingthat is to come, and the brick as a stopping point inwhich historic information would be displayed or seen. In theupmost right portion of this page examples of these materialsare shown. To help with winter issues and slippery areas, the metalwill be sandblasted. To the left is a partial overview image showinghow the materials would be arranged, to the l ower right there is adetail of this also. To the upper right of this text is a constructiondocument that shows how all of the materials would be puttogether.
All drawings created by hand.
