BIRDSEYE // EVOLVING EDGE Elevated pathways extending from the city grid to the beach, much like the cirri that gather nutrients for the barnacle, trap sand from westerly winds to generate dune formation. The constructed dunes between the cirri dissipate wave energy, protect the beach from future storm damage and increase beach access even after years of sea level rise and dune growth. Over time, and with the help of the seed bank barnacle wall, the extensive spread of vegetation will stabilize the dunes, shield landward areas from harsh winds, provide essential habitat and soften recreational zones. Across from the entrance to Golden Gate Park, the Pacific Temple in the Dunes anchors the site and signals an evolving relationship between the city and the sea. Its open air cathedral structure provides flexible space for non-denominational ceremony, reflection and celebration.

GROUND UP JOURNAL ISSUE 05: DELINEATIONS

IS the student journal of the Department of Landscape Architecture & Environmental Planning at the University of California, Berkeley. IS an annual print and web publication intended to stimulate thought, discussion, visual exploration and substantive speculation about emerging landscape issues affecting contemporary praxis. IS an examination of a critical theme arising from the tension between contemporary landscape architecture, ecology and pressing cultural issues. IS intended as a discursive platform to explore concepts grounded in local issues with global relevance. WILL be guided by the interests of our readers and collaborators. We operate on an open call with invited entries from academics, practitioners, students, designers, scientists and activists.
