Landscape Our landscape aims to represent the feel of Gainesville by eliciting the positive associations of the swamp. It pools water into two retention areas, which are also used to collect rainwater for use in the building. Additionally, there will be a green wall on the south side of one of the buildings to help filter the air as well as to add greenery to the space. We plan to use a hydroponic system where the water with fertilizer for the plants is pumped back to the top of the wall so that new water does not need to be fertilized for the plants to get the nutrients they need and thus no water is wasted. The green wall will feature plants embedded in rockwool, which is mounted to the wall, allowing for a vertical wall of plants. We intend to keep two of the original on-site trees, which will be transplanted to the desired location. They will provide shade as well as continue to be the type of
