Bigger Darby

Bigger Darby is a land-use proposal for the 84 square mile territory governed by Big Darby Accord in Central Ohio. The project is an alternative, landscape-based approach to contemporary watershed planning that enhances the vernacular landscapes of the Big Darby region, improves the health of the watershed, and provides new development opportunities.

Beta Laydown

Beta Laydown is a site work articulating surplus capacity within a mineral reclamation system. In Beta, the reciprocity between slow, geological processes of evaporation mining is linked to the exceptional velocities of land-speed trials.

The Salt Mountain Disturbance

The Salt Mountain Disturbance, exhibited at Artisterium in Tbilisi, drew from field research on the vegetation and substrates of a salt stockpile site in Columbus. Through subtle grading changes and vegetation management, Salt Mountain converts what was a hazardous surplus—road salt—and channels it into a striking urban landscape of mineral gradients and salt-tolerant ruderal species.
