Eos: Terraforming with Nature to Power Life

Eos is a visionary project that redefines sustainability by integrating ecological restoration while creating new design fashions. Developed as my final 3rd year studio project, Eos embodies a bold approach to environmental healing through the ABC’s of sustainability—Alta, Bria, and Circa—each playing a crucial role in revitalizing the Brazos River and its surroundings.

Alta is a terracing green roof atop a key urban building, designed to capture, filter, and redirect runoff back into the environment. By utilizing native vegetation and engineered filtration, this system reduces stormwater impact while enhancing urban biodiversity.

Bria is a natural pavilion, embracing the power of native plant communities and structured by reusable materials naturally made by our Earth. By creating a mosaic of plants and flowers, Bria transforms an open space into a vibrant ecological sanctuary while using sustainable materials to strengthen the connection between people and nature.

Circa is a phytoremediation system that leverages the river’s current to cleanse pollutants. Water is naturally filtered before being reintroduced into the Brazos River or directed to a cove featuring a sandy beach, activating the space for community engagement.

By merging ecological function with human interaction, Eos envisions a future where carefully curated landscapes and architecture actively repair and sustain the environment. It stands as a testament to the power of landscape architecture, demonstrating how we can terraform with nature to power life and restore our most vital ecosystems.
