“No men are foreigners to me; of one blood are all nations.”

This section of the city really came into its own after the trolley cars began running on Central Avenue in the early 1900s, in the days before the automobile changed cities forever. “Trolley cars running along Central Avenue were the open sesame, as it were, for the development of unoccupied land, bringing homesteaders and adding to the taxable valuations of the city. The Elmwood section, in its highly populous state of 1920, justiﬁes the City Council’s action” (Pierson 544).

A birds-eye view of Next City’s office and the “Storefront for Urban Innovation,” as it was transformed for Above Below Beyond.

Event Space

The exhibit celebrated it’s opening night was an official event for Design Philadelphia, an annual city-wide design festival.

Panel Discussion

The exhibit culminated in a panel discussion that explored how student involvement can encourage development of sites like the Reading Railroad.

Storefront / Office

During business hours, we stashed the boards away and Next City used their office as usual.

Open Exhibit

We kept the exhibit open to visitors 7 days a week for 6 weeks.

Meeting Place

The exhibit allowed us to have impromptu and planned meetings with all kinds of people interested in the site.

How do we design landscapes?

4 steps to a landscape: 1. Site Observations 2. Study and Analysis 3. Conceptual Design 4. Technical Drawings

Landscape Drawings: 1. Sketches 2. Plan Drawings (maps, birdseye) 3. Sections/Elevations 4. Perspectives/Models 5. Diagrams
