Regenerative Integration of Water, Space, and People: A proposal for landscape renovation of UNM Student Family Housing<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Pei Li<\/strong> <\/strong>
Honor Award – Student Category<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project proposes to regenerate and integrate water, space, and people on this multi-family housing site by harvesting stormwater and reusing greywater to activate underutilized, fragmented outdoor spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project challenges the way we traditionally design stormwater detention ponds and may serve as a prototype for many others around the world. While many have become parks, the reuse of collected stormwater is not common. Capturing and storing water vertically provides a new method for managing stormwater in the basin while providing various other functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alameda Storm Drain Outfall Water Quality Improvements Feasibility Study<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Bohannan Huston, Inc.<\/a> <\/strong>
Merit Award<\/em> – Unbuilt Category<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Study of the Alameda Storm Drain Outfall to incorporate multiple GSI features, improving the quality of storm water being discharged to the Rio Grande. Our collaborative approach led by an interdisciplinary design team has produced innovative GSI options that optimize the site and help meet MRG MS4 permit requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sites Southwest<\/a> <\/strong>
Honor Award<\/em> – Constructed Category<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project demonstrates that very innovative green infrastructure can integrate elegantly with traditional streetscape design and construction. Also, while this Revitalization Project was an economic development project, the village of Los Ranchos was a strong advocate for green infrastructure. That is very unusual of many public agencies and deserves recognition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honor Award – Constructed Category<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Description: The Alameda Drain Trail transforms a nine-mile drain located in the Middle Rio Grande Valley into a regional transportation and recreation asset. A collaborative effort between four public agencies, this project brings a multi-use path to utilitarian drainage conveyance system, while incorporating several green stormwater infrastructure features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Merit Award – Constructed Category<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The landscape at CNM\u2019s Smith Brasher Hall is an innovative water harvesting landscape that includes GSI features throughout the site. Features include stormwater harvesting basins, stormwater tree trenches, and a bioswale with check dams. This LEED Gold project uses stormwater to decrease irrigation needs while increasing shade and habitat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Merit Award – Constructed Category<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The site’s teaching and demonstration strengths allow professionals and citizens to experience how a project initially described as “impossible” can be achieved. On \u00bd acre it provides ecosystem services for 20 acres of impermeable or compacted surface. Complete recovery from invasive species that originally choked the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
