It sits in the residential area with some neighborhood business along the creek, linking the campus zone to the city center from west to east. The site is almost a hidden place covered by wild vegetation, which is always out of citizens' horizon. Thus, the proposal of the design is to daylight the creek and bring it back to citizens' sight. The design widens the creek corridor and rearrange the planting. Enabling the creek to be exposed to the light and attract more attention is the first meaning of "daylight". The site has serious problems with the water ecology: poor watet quality, heavy sediments, and uncontrollable flood. To improve the water environment, constructed wetlands, bio-swales, and small islands are applied to the site to purify the water and create ecological environment for living things. The boundary of the creek is redesigned to be more convoluted. The metal retaining wall changes to different types of ecologial revetments. This is the second stage of "daylight". The site is inaccessible, as the mesh fence and metal wall keep people and other living animals away. The design increases the accessbility to the creek, so as to provide more activities with water environment for the local community. More entrances are added and the path is continuously connected to both ends of the segment. People can reach the water by stepping down and the barrier will be no longer exist, which is the third part of "datlight". SECTION D SCALE 1:10 Boneyard Creek - Interactivity Yixuan Wang The site is surround boneyard creek, from Main Street to the Lincoln Street. Through the site investigation, I focus on increasing the residence 3 activity and combine the design with the architect’s environment. To reduce the risky of the flood, I broaden the creek and change the steep slope to the gentle slope. And I also used the vegetation which are moisture. The first segment is focus on sidewalk due to the strawberry fields café 1 which will can function as a view point. The second segment aim to create a rest area around the recreation center. The third segment is the flood 3 zone which is serious and I arrange some small island to increase the interesting of the site, the forth segment is focus on the different type of vegetation and built a garden for the belivers. 1 2 2 0 60 120 180 240 feet grass trail bridge Vehicle sightseeing stand plaza flowers callery frame tree shurb section1-1 1’’=15’ Material section 2-2 1’’=15’ section 3-3 1’’=15’ Purpose BONEYARD CREEK SITE DESIGN LA 537 MLA COMMUNITY DESIGN STUDIO II TERRA FLUXUS STORMWATER MANAGEMENT YANG XIA DESIGN PLAN SITE ANALYSIS Boneyard Creeek 130 DESTINATION & Proposed Creek District 13 10 Main Vehicle St Pedestrain & Bycycle St CIRCULATION Bus Stop 50 130 MAIN VEHICLE ST 5 13 10 One main street goes across the site. 130 eco walkway 50 13 5 10 PEDESTRAIN & BYCYCLE ST W MAIN ST 50 2 8 130 There are several pedestrain & bycycle St 5 70 DESTINATION & CIRCULATION 50 go across the site.
