PUBLIC LOCATION
Sun Lakes–Dry Falls / Washington

01

Question + scope

At Sun Lakes–Dry Falls, vegetation records the combined effects of flood geology, aridity, moisture, substrate, exposure, and disturbance. The project follows those relationships across the landscape rather than treating the species list as the conclusion.

02

Field to evidence

Two connected parts of the work, with the material that supports each one.

01

Landscape + vegetation

Field observations compare landform, substrate, exposure, moisture, and plant communities across a sharply constrained landscape.

  • place-based field notes
  • vegetation and substrate comparisons
  • landscape photography
02

Sequence + synthesis

An eight-part visual sequence moves from geology and climate into plant response, community pattern, and ecological interpretation.

  • eight-part visual synthesis
  • climate and plant-response notes
  • designed project sequence

03

Linked material

  • ecology through place
  • visual synthesis
  • plant communities
  • landscape process
