My final studio presentation boards. I’m not really happy with any of them, but I guess they turned out ok in the end. It’s a Garry Oak Woodland Sculpture Park in Chinatown, Victoria, B.C.
I’m so excited about this I had to share it with someone… This is my site for studio this term. I am currently starting site (specific) analysis, and noticed that there is a change in ground cover that is visible from google earth on the site as it stands right now (a vacant lot). From variouspictures I’ve found, I’m guessing they’re differences between herbaceous plants and shrubs…. ?? Either way, this is really interesting to me right now…
the life of a landscape architecture student…. getting excited about ground cover….
Documentation for all final projects in the LA Masters program at RMIT uni in Melbourne is available for public view on issuu. They are all works-in-progress and intended as an overview of the projects before final review in late October. There’s a fairly broad range of stuff in there, giving a very comprehensive cross section of the program. Check them out!
The MLA program at RMIT is a two year Masters by coursework. Major Project is developed over a full year and we are now about 6 weeks from the end. The documents on issuu are our concise ADRs (ADR stands for appropriate durable record) which are basically an executive summary and 3000+ word visual essay discussing what the research is, why it is important and how it is being approached.
INTERSECT: What Happens When Transportation Corridors and Cities Collide? When transportation corridors such as highways and rail lines meet dense urban areas, choices must be made about how to balance the needs of the transportation modes and the lively city it intersects. Across the world, cities have found innovative solutions for addressing issues relating to large-scale urban transportation infrastructure. Recently in the U.S. cities such as San Francisco, New York, and Minneapolis have transformed highways into urban boulevards. Boston buried Interstate 93 in the famous “Big Dig,” but at a huge cost. Other cities have worked to bridge highways and rail corridors that separate downtowns from waterfronts. With international precedent for design solutions, the Center for Architecture challenges the next generation of urban thinkers to propose novel solutions to integrate Philadelphia’s major transportation corridors into its urban fabric.
Thought some of you may be interested? Looks like it has lots of potential for some crazy interesting transit design!
