concept diagram sequence
topographic analysis  :  contours, hatchers, slope-based height field, and composite mappings show how an erroded river corridor fans out to become the ground of Baltimore city
parametric analysis of the urban topography identifies watershed sub-basins that drain into the Jones Falls corridor, and calculates their precise areas
sub-basin areas yield volumes for the various design floods conservatively assuming 100% impermeability.  these volumes are imagined populating the edges of the corridor site
how to construct a voronoi area diagram
manipulating grids of dots to conform to site traces and geometires generates adaptive voronoi field strategies with calculable area divisions 
this strategy is adopted along the entire site
creating a field pattern that is a direct repsonse to site geometries and lines of motion
Baltimore city drains to the newly unearthed Jones Falls corridor, which doubles as a public circulation line that bridges gaps in the existing transport networks and connects important cultural nodes throughout the city
prototypical plan  :  articulated stormwater basin landscapes, unearthed Jones Falls River, and intensified public transport infrastructure along the Jones Falls Expressway
