    STRUCTURE & FREEDOM A Montessori School in Georgetown By: Stephanie Suzanne Tincher Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE June 28, 1996 Washington-Alexandria Architecture Center Alexandria, Virginia Keywords: Architecture, Education, Montessori, Georgetown i Susan C. Piedmont-Palladino Gregory Keane Hunt James W. Ritter Committee Chair Committee Member Committee Member The design challenge of this project was to create an engaging environment for learning; one that through its architecture, encourages discovery, sensory and intellectual development and stewardship of the environment. This school seeks to embody the Montessori ideal of “structure and freedom”. Through the design process, an “architecture of opposites” emerged – edges and endings, light and dark, solid and transparent, quiet and noise, city and nature, bridge and barrier. It is this struggle between opposing forces that creates a dynamic environment. A site at the intersection of P and 26th Streets in Georgetown on the western edge of Rock Creek Park was chosen for the project because of its nature as a haven within an urban context.

    This walk starts in Georgetown and utilizes the Lovers Lane Walkway to reach Massachusetts Avenue and view some of the diplomatic residences in Washington, DC. It returns via a well-utilized paved trail through Rock Creek Park and a short walk through a portion of the Georgetown historic district. Since the Lovers Lane portion of this walk is isolated it is suggested that this walk may not be appropriate for singles. Only on-street parking is available and it is somewhat limited in this area. 1. Lovers Lane serves as the entrance to Dumbarton Oaks Park from R Street NW. Look for the sign marked 'Dumbarton Oaks Park' on R Street just east of the Dumbarton Oaks mansion at 31st Street. The paved path goes down a steep hill with a wall on the left and Montrose Park on the right. 2. There are intersecting paths to the left and right at the bottom of the hill and the pavement ends. Continue straight and follow the dirt path as it curves to the right and climbs a grade. The path to the left enters Dumbarton Oaks Park. The path to the right heads down towards Rock Creek. 3. After the next turn to the left Rock Creek can be seen below when the leaves are off the trees. 4. The building to the left as you near Massachusetts Avenue is the Italian embassy. 5. Cross Massachusetts Avenue to Rock Creek Drive on the opposite side. There is a crosswalk to the left. Follow the sidewalk on the left side of Rock Creek Drive.

  • Rock Creek Trail Final EA
    Rock Creek Park Multi-Use Trail Rehab ilit ation Affected Environment CHAPTER 3: AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT This “Affected Environment” chapter of the EA describes existing environmental conditions in the proposed project area. These conditions serve as a baseline for understanding the resources that could be impacted by implementation of the proposed action. The resource topics presented in this chapter, and the organization of these topics, correspond to the resources discussions discussed in “Chapter 4: Environmental Consequences.” 3.1. SOILS Geomorphic processes shape the landscape of Rock Creek Park, which consists of a steep, rugged stream valley and rolling hills. The park straddles the boundary of two physiographic provinces: the Piedmont and the Atlantic Coastal Plain. The transitional zone between the two provinces is known as the Fall Line. The Piedmont is composed of hard, crystalline igneous and metamorphic rocks, extending to the west of Rock Creek Park. Rolling hills of the region were formed through folding, faulting, metamorphism, uplifting and erosion. Piedmont soils are highly weathered and generally well-drained. The Atlantic Coastal Plain is a generally flat region composed of sediment deposits from the past 100 million years, extending to the east of Rock Creek Park. The sediment deposits have been continually reworked by fluctuating sea levels and erosive forces. As a result, typical soils of the region are well drained sands or sandy loams (NPS 2009). The United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has compiled an inventory of District of Columbia soils, in order to deliver science based soil information. The locations, descriptions, recommended uses and limitations of soils are identified in The Soil Survey of the District of Columbia (USDA 1976).
