HONORS AND AWARDS
McNeil Island Therapeutic Landscapes│WASLA Award of Honor 2014Studio project Fall 2013 Our team proposed for McNeil Island (formerly a prison island) to be reusedas a center for research and rehabilitation of mental disability. Our project explored how designcould facilitate the interaction of human and nature, creating healing landscapes.
Japanese Cultural and Community Center Design Build│WASLA Award of Honor 2014Undergraduate landscape class of 2014 worked with the Japanese Cultural Community in Seattle, WA to design and build a garden space that can be used for outdoor classrooms and large events. Challenges presented were incorporating Japanese American culture and history into the design. The build was complete early June of 2014.
Croatia Therapeutic Garden Design Build 2012│WASLA Award of Merit 2013Study abroad design build on the Island Rab in Croatia. Students worked with a psychiatric communityto create a therapeutic garden for patients to use outdoors. Careful thought went into creating sensory experiences through textures and materials.

Japanese American Culture in the U.S. has a rich history. For this design build we worked with the JCCCW community to design an outdoor garden that would honor three generations of Japanese Americans but also welcome future generations and people of all cultures into their community. Programatic requirements included a flexible gathering space for outdoor classrooms, performances, and cultural celebrations.

KINTSUGI SCHEMATIC DESIGNJCCCW DESIGN BUILD 2014
Kintsugi is the Japanese art form of repairing pottery with gold lacquer. The importance lies within understanding the piece is more beautiful for having been broken. We believed the concept of Kintsugi in the garden would be the best representation of Japanese American history. People can interpret the golden lines in the plaza with their own stories and experiences.

Winter quarter of 2013 our design build studio came up with four schematic garden designs. Each team built a modle to better convey the ideas we had for the community garden.
Our Garden of Mending design was inspired by the japanese artform of Kintsugi. We wanted to create a relaxing atmosphere with plants and natural textures of wood and stone. The model is constructed with cardboard, basswood, hand dyed paper, drided plant material such as branches, and synthetic fiber. There is also a thin piece of brass through the plaza that represents the kintsugi concept.

FINAL MASTER PLANJCCCW DESIGN BUILD 2014Plan Rendering: Ann Dinthongsai
Originally we wanted the garden to be ADA accessable for the elderly in the community (plan on left). However a deciding number of factors made this impossible, including budget, grading, and space. After we had finished a set of construction documents for the initial synthesis master plan we had to re-designed it, taking out the boardwalk and ramp, and included steps. This plan, on the right, is our final master plan for construction.

Construction Set: Completed by undergraduate class 2014Stage and Steps,Boardwalk, and Raingarden Details: Ann Dinthongsai
Many details from the original construction set had to be taken out or modified for the final set. Specificaly I had worked on the stage and step details, ADA boardwalk (taken out), and rain garden details.
CONSTRUCTION JCCCW DESIGN BUILD 2014Construction: Undergraduate Class 2014 and Volunteer Master StudentsProfessor: Daniel WinterbottomTA: Scott Boetjer and Jerry Watson
Contruction began during our spring break at the end of March, and completed early June, ahead of schedule. It was a transformation of space. As we build the garden, we watched the seasons change from winter, spring, to summer. On site it was noisy with the sound of work, there was always people, power chords, and tools everywhere. Some days were very hot, some days were cold and drizzly, but at the end of each day there was a sense of pride in the work that we had accomplished.

CROATIA THERAPEUTIC GARDENDESIGN BUILD 2012
Fall of 2012 Professor Daniel Winterbottom took a group of sixteen students to the rural Island of Rab located along the Croatian coast. We worked to design and build a therapeutic garden for the largest psychiatric hospital in Croatia within a span of 3 months. The island of Rab has a culture that lags behind modern times. Salty ocean air is blown by strong breezes through olive and lavender fields, while stone and plaster buildings are capped with red tiled roofs. Sheep, chickens, donkeys, and feral cats litter the island.

Plan
The old prison grounds were re-envisioned to incorporate new health facilities and programs for the practice of psycotherapy. McNeil becames an island where a hollistic and natural approach to therapy can be practiced and researched.

MCNEIL ISLAND THERAPEUTIC LANDSCAPESStudio Fall 2013Instructor: Ken Yocom, Jerry WatsonDesign Team: Ann Dinthongsai, and Malda Takieddine
April 2011, McNeil Island, the oldest prison facility in the Pacific Northwest shut down. Our proposal for reuse of McNeil island explored the possibility of creating a new community that focused on mental health research and rehabilitation. Researching the relationship people have with nature, we proposed a therapeutic loop around the island to key destinations that provide a variety of mental and physical experiences.
Between Malda and I, we researched extensively on the psychological impact that natural landscapes have on human health and recovery. We came up with seven categories we thought best made a toolkit for understanding and defining therapeutic landscapes.

The origional threshold onto McNeil Island was a stern prison faciliy. We re-imagined it into one of health, innovation, and research.
This high point along the therapeutic loop is important in helping patients reflect beyond themselves. Taking advantage of the grassy rolling hills, a few meandering paths and simple shelters allow views of South Puget Sound.

MADISON VALLEY STORMWATER PARK CONSTRUCTION SETDesign Implementation Spring 2012Instructors: Julie Parrett and Ben SpencerDesign Team: Biruk Belay, Ann Dinthongsai, Eunice Lo
Madison Valley Stormwater Park is the lowest point in Seattle. Our challenge was to design a functional public park that could also withstand high volumes of stormwater. We worked on developing autocad skills and completed a set of construction documents. Below is a selection of the drawings that I worked on including the layout plan, planting plan, and cross sections.

NATURAL PROCESS STUDIOMONTLAKE ORCHARDNatural Process Studio Spring 2012Instructors: Julie Johnson and Ken YocomDesigner: Ann Dinthongsai
Stormwater becomes a major issue with the construction of the new 520 freeway pass over the old MOHAI (Museum of Modern Insdustry) site located in east of Lake Union in Seattle, WA. As a studio our objective was to integrate natural processes into the landscape that would treat water as it entered Lake Washington. We also needed to provide multiple programs for people and habitat.
