Abstract
Green stormwater infrastructure, mimics natural infiltration processes and has the potential to function as a public amenity. This study evaluates public amenities at 20 structural storm water management projects built within Philadelphia in the past five to ten years. “From Stormwater Management to Artful Rainwater Design” ( Echols and Pennypacker 2008) served as the foundation for a rubric which scores site designs based on a Likert-like rating system (1 - 5) in six amenity categories: Education, Recreation, Aesthetics, Safety, Publicity, and Best Management Practices. Scoring was conducted on site, after taking photos and producing simple sketch diagrams in plan and section. Data reveals a correlation between Education and Recreation public amenities (73%). For each stormwater project neighborhood and site scale data are interpreted to affect the total score of public amenity. Drawing on technical, theoretical and city planning documents, this thesis exposes how stormwater management sites in Philadelphia function as public amenities, thereby informing the conceptual design process.
