This creative project produced a master plan for a 120 acre area of the Cincinnati waterfront known as Riverfront West. In 1990, the City of Cincinnati adopted a zoning ordinance in for the Riverfront West area changing the zoning from light industrial to high public investment. In other words, Cincinnati City Council has visions for this site as a multi-use area in the development of offices, retail and residential. But how the site will develop, how the development will connect with the existing downtown, and how the development will be flood protected was the problem at hand.The entire site in this project lies within the floodplain of the Ohio River. This creative project explores design considerations which will protect new development from the flood waters of the Ohio River while increasing opportunities for people to enjoy physical and visual contact with the river. This master plan reclaims a portion of the floodplain and reweaves it into the urban fabric of Cincinnati. Inspiration for the flood protection in the form of a serpentine earth work was found in the meandering of the river, the Native American earth works which were prevalent in this area when the first settlers landed at Cincinnati in 1788, as well as the Serpentine Wall found up-river from the site.This project will address the history of Cincinnati, the evolution of the Cincinnati waterfront, cases studies of similar projects, inventory / analysis of Riverfront West, and finally the design process and final master plan of Riverfront West. / Department of Landscape Architecture

Through the last hundred years, the state of Ohio has had a high concentration of amusement parks located outside its towns and cities. The numbers peaked in the 1920s, and have steadily decreased since that time. Amusement parks represent a unique period in a community's history, usually one of economic prosperity, and are threatened by large, corporate-owned parks and low attendance.This creative project studies Ohio's amusement parks. It traces the broad history of amusement parks from their roots in Europe to early American influence such as the World's Columbian Exposition and Coney Island in New York. The project also focuses on park development within the state of Ohio, and discusses the physical patterns that emerged out of the amusement parks, as well as the positive and negative social patterns that have surfaced and their impact today. The project suggests further areas of research needed for amusement parks, as well as steps that may help preserve those that are threatened.The project also includes an inventory of all known amusement parks located in Ohio throughout the state's history. The inventory includes the location, dates of operation, and attractions at the parks. It also categorizes parks according to the varieties found in Ohio. / Department of Architecture
