Abstract

This project seeks to further explore P.V. over canals specifically in urban contexts. I will begin by giving a more detailed overview of climate, water, and energy within the Klamath Basin, focusing specifically on the A-Canal, my project site located in Klamath Falls, Oregon. I will then provide a brief overview of the current state of P.V. over canal and discuss why I chose to focus specifically on this urban canal. Then, I will switch to the process I took to develop objectives and identify the constraints to designing an urban P.V. over canal system in Klamath Falls. Then, I will walk through three design exercises where I explored the role that a landscape architect could play in a P.V. over canal project on the A-Canal or other urban canals. At the end, I will provide an overview of what I learned from this process, including specific strategies that could be used to adapt P.V. over canal to more urban contexts.
