has been a pressure on the School of Environmental Design and Rural Development (SEDRD) students, and while we’ve been compressed under the pressure of stress, we have been gathering energy. We enter the profession built-up with energy, ready to reform ourselves.
Although, however fitting the scientific definition of resilience is, it is also quickly becoming pedantic. We are so much more than resilient. We areWeempathetic.arecurious.Weareoverwhelmed.Wearescared.Wearedriven.
Let this journal be a celebration of the SEDRD students’ creativity, passion, and interests throughout the compelling and overwhelming 2020/2021 academic year, as well as a thank you to the supportive and imaginative community we have cultivated and continue to grow – propagate – and foster.
Dear Studio V readers,
And we are all of these things all at once.
The theme of the previous issue was Growth, and it is as appropriate for last year as it is for this one. But more than growth, we are ready to Propagate. We are ready to release the energy built up inside, move outward from ourselves, and take root.
We used the symbol of the dandelion because although it is not a native plant, it is naturalized. As students who come from all corners of the globe, we have become naturalized plants: pioneering, growing against the odds, adapting, and living cohesively in ecosystems around us.

The idea of material resilience has been borrowed from physics to describe how humans react to stress in their environment. An object that has pressure applied to it begins to deform, changing its shape, becoming skewed. What isn’t seen is the energy being absorbed in the process. The force pushing down on an object needs somewhere to go and as a result it gets stored in the object itself. When the pressure begins to lift, the energy stored in the object begins to be released, flowing outward from the object as it Covid-19reforms.

Working towards healthier seas must follow a series of vital steps; or perhaps work through countless puzzle pieces to evolve back into a healthy whole. Let our design be a few of the more straightforward pieces. The overall premise being large segments of concrete mimicking the topography of the intertidal zone, allowing for water to flow, force, and fracture. The abstract color pattern is both functional and aesthetic, serving as means to circulate hot air flow just like a zebra’s back, while protruding out of the coastal landscape as a natural art piece, becoming a sight that people recognize as home to the Owl limpet. The structure does not need to remain static, and through the use of car airbags, has the ability to float and be shifted into new positions as water levels rise or become inhabitable for intertidal species. The Owl limpet sculpture can be constantly enhancing and re-creating our coasts as we begin to lose them.
When we design for a creature as small and peculiar as the owl limpet, we may intiate a motion that has a greater effect.
The intertidal zone is one of the harshest environments to exist, but life continues to grow and evolve despite the thrashing waves and burning sun. One of the most resilient and novel creatures existing within this environment is the Owl Limpet, Lottia gigantea. Owl limpets are key stone creatures, maintaining biodiversity within the intertidal zone by protecting and establishing individual territories, preventing intruders such as barnacles and sea stars from taking over the Intertidal habitat. They also keep algae content under control through grazing and foraging methods. Unfortunately, the future of Owl limpets is at risk with rising water temperature and levels pushing more southern creatures to migrate into more northern intertidal habitats zones. In addition to facing the effects of climate change, Owl limpets are also excessively harvested by humans.
TO THE OWL LIMPET
If we can enhance intertidal biodiversity in areas where it is depleted then we can contribute to the overall health of our seas, including rising temperatures and water levels.
In targetting our efforts towards the wellbeing of this offbeat creature, we will find ourselves tipping the first domino in a process that cultivates an overall sense of stewardship for our seas.

Modern industrialized agriculture has been a disaster — evironmentally, socially, and economically. Short-term we boosted yields and profits, but long-term we have shot ourselves in the foot by destroying the soils and waters that support these systems. Farming is what puts food on our plates and cannot be allowed to die out.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION

My design is that of a farm school, located on a piece of land in western Kansas that has been in my family for 5 generations. The farm will focus heavily on regenerative agriculture and borrow from multiple schools of farming including organic farming, no-till, biomimicry, “do-nothing” farming, and more. The goal of the project is to give prospective farmers the tools and knowledge they need to succeed, and how to farm in a manner which heals the land and people.

This farm will be heavily diversified and be set up as a 401(c) non-profit. Students can come and stay for as long as they wish, ideally at least several months in the dorms on site. There will be a classroom/community center where students will take classes. Students will learn as much as possible about being farmers. From how to both milk and butcher a goat, to caring for chickens, tending a garden, running a tractor, and more. And that is just on the farming side of things - A farmer is not just a farmer. He is also a biologist, soil scientist, ecologist, businessman, economist, accountant, carpenter, welder, mechanic, and more. To be a successful and independent farmer, students must have at least a rudimentary grasp of all these things. The farm will also offer tours, as education is not limited to people staying at the farm, but also established farmers in the area.
HATCHING ATLANTIS
Hatching Atlantis is a multi-trophic aquaculture initiative to improve upon the aquaculture industry and transform the practice of offshore aquaculture from a harmful, environmental degradation agent into one that performs symbiotically to help restore biodiversity to the west coast of British Columbia.

Salmon are becoming more at risk with each passing day. As an important part of the coastal food web, pacific salmon populations must be protected and rehabilitated. Methods include hybrid netpen salmon aquaculture, the inclusion of multitrophic aquaponics, fertilizer generation to recycle fish waste, sonar to protect cetaceans, low impact vehicles and algal carbon sequestering techniques. These innovations can help aquaculture develop a mutualistic relationship between aquaculture and the ocean. All will benefit from the restoration of biodiversity, maintained populations of vital species (namely wild salmon) and the new-found ability to feed the word in sustainable manner.

Following the ecoLogic Design Studio's carbon sequestering microalgal buildingcell model, the diesgn has been retrofitted as a part of the hybridaquaculture Egg. Taking on one of three prospective models (A, B, or C) the cells function underwater as a means of carbon sequestering to help reduce the effect of ocean acidification due to rising water temperatures. This feature doubles as a means of Red Tide clean up and repurposement as the algae used in the cells with be collected from the neighbouring shoreline of Bedwell Sound that has a history of intense algal blooms. Once cells have reached their maximum capacity of algae, the algae can easily be removed and sent on shore for repurposement into other products.

A few years ago, I took a trip to Mexico and visited Oaxaca (pronounced Wah-Ha-ka), one of Mexico’s premier tourist destinations, a UNESCO world heritage site and unknowingly - for the past 17 years - the centre of a flourishing political street art movement that has arisen from the political turmoil in the southern state. Oaxaca, high in the mountains of southern Mexico, is a mecca for printmakers. Artists identify as activists by posting large prints infused with indigenous and political symbolism on the front of the stucco buildings, or banners for parades and protests. (I would have photographs to share of the trip, but unfortunately my phone was pitpocketed shortly afterwards in Mexico City. Travel tip: keep your phone in a secure place while riding the subway).
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Featured here are western style prints with black ink. Soon, I hope to experiment with Japanese woodblock printing (mokuhanga) using water-based paints and rice paste.
These vibrant woodcut prints inspired me to invest in some wood carving tools and black ink of my own. I find the medium combines my passion for woodworking and drawing landscapes/natural patterns. It is also a slow process, involving many steps along the way to a finished print. This time-consuming process often promotes improvisation and the ability to adapt to new thought and ideas, which I often find rewarding.

Glow is a landscape architectural project that hopes to use principles of colour theory and chromotherapy to create an outdoor space that promotes healing and meditation. The design focuses on the 7 main colours in the visible spectrum: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet. Glow provides a space for healing, mediation, enjoyment, and hopes to push the boundaries of landscape architecture.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Inside the neighborhood of Kensington Market lies Sonya Parkette on the intersection of Oxford Street and Augusta Avenue. Within the energetic atmosphere of Kensington Market, there is potential to create a space where people can escape to respite from urban congestion. Sonya Parkette, at approximately 7363 square feet is one of two public green spaces within the entire neighborhood, the other being Bellevue Square Park which is usually overrun with visitors.
This parkette was originally built to honor the legacy of Sonya Lunasky; small businesses like Sonya’s fruit market are what early Kensington culture was built upon. Today, the parkette is rarely used and signs of deterioration are very evident. The reimagined concept will not only be a revamped landscape but will also be designed with elements to induce tranquility for its users. The new design is soundscape conscious and incorporates various features that increases the contemplative value of the space. This is a design aimed to support the health and mental wellbeing of its users, as well as its surrounding ecosystem.

139 Steel City Ct is a 17-hectare lot located at the east side of the Hamilton Bayfront Industry area. It was once the site of old steel industries and is currently being redeveloped into a metal sorting site for auto parts. It is derelict, lacking in softscape, underutilized, and disconnected from its surroundings - the perfect place to create a mesocosm.
However, one key feature missing in the industrial system is a system of recovery. Once an industrial site becomes vacant, there are no decomposers to recycle the resources left behind. Can we landscape architects act as decomposers in post-industrial sites, using existing layouts, features and resources, to transform them into mescosms?

My goal was to develop a strategy to activate and enhance the public space surrounding the new Baker Street redevelopment project, which centres around the public library. The site located beside a network of active urban bike lanes and an existing multi-use trail that runs along the Speed River. It is the perfect location to create a node, where trail users can take a detour and explore the heart of the city. My intention is to complement and connect the existing sports infrastructure in the Baker District to encourage residents and visitors to spend more time outdoors in nature.
Activation Circuit is a sports node in the Baker District to support year-round outdoor activation and encourage people to engage in healthy and fun recreational exercise. My design intervention includes a bike-share program, a temporary ice trail, a set of reading hammocks, and a splash pad, as well as a covered patio.

My final design included residences divided into smaller communities to mimic neighborhoods and encourage friendlier, more intimate social interactions. Every residence was to be oriented so that each cell has a window with a view out to the surrounding mountainous landscape of Salt Lake City allowing for a constant connection to nature. Connecting residences to the various facilities on site were long, winding pathways designed to slow inmates down and mimic daily commutes to work or school. I also ensured access to ample outdoor spaces which could cater to social gathering, exercise, recreation, and tranquil leisure time. My design is merely a hypothetical, as, reform is needed in the entire criminal justice system before design can be more seriously considered to have a real impact. The reform of prison design however, is long overdue.

I completed my fourth-year thesis paper on rehabilitative design, exploring how spaces and landscapes can be manipulated to improve psychological and sociological health. I then used my research to inform my capstone project, a redesign of the Utah State Correctional Facility. The goal of my capstone project was to experiment with what a prison with health, safety, and rehabilitation as its top priorities might look like. I wanted to push the boundaries of conventional prison design and experiment with more ‘radical’ ideas in its form and function. I thought about how the landscape itself, as well as its relationship to the built form on site, could actually prepare inmates for their eventual return into society, and how it could ease psychological pressures to ensure the humane treatment of those serving life sentences.

Many of us were struggling with the stress of adjusting to remote learning, the ongoing lockdown and the relative isolation that came with the peak of the pandemic. So it was harrowing to imagine the difficulties essential workers shoulder on a daily basis. At this point, everyone had heard about, if not directly felt, the mental health pandemic underlying the COVID-19 crisis.

MARIKA LI Bench One Tree started with one question. During winter semester 2021, in one of our class’ weekly virtual cocktail parties—a way of staying sane during online learning—my classmate, Everett Dejong asked, “What if we started a project to give back to the community during this pandemic? It could be something small and simple, like donating a bench and a tree to hospitals.”
amidst constant change and outdoor space for healthcare rest and unwind during their we could do. We decided to metres apart to symbolize place to keep communities safe.
“There was a whole variety of people calling, who were struggling,” continued Hassall. “People experiencing homelessness, teachers, healthcare workers, students, parents, and youth. Their usual coping strategies weren’t working in the face of the changes that came with COVID-19.”

After a few meetings we solidified the vision for One Bench One Tree. We wanted to tie together landscapes and their healing properties with the mental health crisis. A quick search online will reveal a dense and diverse forest of research linking time spent outdoors with improved mental and physical health outcomes. The struggles of our communities are emphasized in the media, but the spotlight is often off the frontline workers who keep our lives running as smoothly as possible even
Erin Terwissen, Acting National Director of the CMHA told us that the Toronto branch experienced a 100 per cent increase in the volume of work.
Everett Delong, from his many years of experience in the landscaping industry, connected us with Tony DiGiovanni, executive director of Landscape Ontario. Through DiGiovanni we got our foot in the door for our first install at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto. Coincidentally, Sunnybrook was also the first hospital in Ontario to receive a COVID-19 patient in January 2020. We were also able to secure funding from the OALA, thanks to Alli reaching out to our instructor Kendall Flower, who invited Alli to present our project at one of their weekly meetings. Then, we connected with various Canadian businesses, such as Maglin Site Furniture, NVK Nurseries and Maple Leaves Forever. Unilock partnered with us to provide the slabs for the benches to rest on.

With a bench, a tree, and a site secured, we were raring to go for the first install. Of course, real life doesn’t run as smoothly as our plans. It took a few months of planning and lots of back and forth, since Sunnybrook was overwhelmed with COVID-19 patients on top of their usual operations. The install date was finally scheduled for June, and Casey Ross and Everett coordinated the pick up and delivery of the materials. Even with all our planning, there were some road bumps on the day of the install. We hadn’t located the utilities coordinates, and the soil was really poor - fill left over from underneath an older building that they tore down to construct a parking garage.

Still, the ceremony went incredibly well and opened many doors for One Bench One Tree. Alli was interviewed by U of G News, and the story was also picked up by multiple media outlets like The Toronto Star, Global News and CBC. Suddenly we were able to secure installs more quickly. We started receiving interest from members of the public who wanted to support One Bench One Tree. This summer finished off with installs at St. Peter’s Hospital in Hamilton and Hamilton Health Sciences. Upcoming installs include the St. John’s Rehab branch of Sunnybrook Hospital, Hamilton’s St. Joseph’s Healthcare, plus two branches of Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) in Ottawa and Guelph General Hospital. With help from local chapters of Landscape Ontario, the hospitals can coordinate directly with local contractors and their communities for the installs and ceremonies. When One Bench One Tree expands to other provinces, collaborations with the Canadian Nurseries and Landscape Association will be in full swing.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Recovered Connections is in a prime location for exploring Canada’s history as it is surrounded by Canada’s Parliament, the National Gallery of Canada, and other major attractions. This site is designed to celebrate the capital’s original inhabitants; the Anishinaabe peoples. Throughout Canada, the heritage, culture, and land of First Nations have been lost due to colonization. Recovered Connections aims to create a space to reconnect and learn about the First Nations Communities of Canada. This is done by creating spaces inspired by the land’s geography, native species to the area, and increased space for meetings. These meeting spaces are intentionally large to provide space for Indigenous workshops and to provide spaces for potential small vendor opportunities that can highlight Indigenous businesses. The Samuel de Champlain statue is to be moved, and a steel frame is placed in front of it with etched glass that explains the negative and positive history of Canada’s colonization. Etched glass is used throughout the site including along the footbridge and side entranceway, these panels will highlight Indigenous art and culture. Overall this site is a place of learning, relaxation, and reconciliation. It is proposed that the National Capital Commission who currently own the land, give this land back to the Indigenous community as a potential partnership.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This design uses the relocated Historic Lighthouse as a focal point, drawing users towards the site and providing a hub for community activity. The proposed Eco-park design aligns with a potential Plaza redesign to illustrate the full potential provided by the site’s unique location and existing programmatic elements.
Fisherman’s Pier is located at the heart of Hamilton’s cultural roots, and through this redesign will honor regional culture while creating a space for locals to enjoy. The Fisherman’s Pier Redesign pays homage to Hamilton’s industrial maritime heritage, and encapsulates this through a mix of sustainable design practices and use of reclaimed materials.
The development of Fisherman’s Pier will provide a naturalized waterfront escape at the hub of the Burlington Canal and the Skyway. The design intends to create an environment that will sustainably support biodiversity, provide eco-friendly relationships between built structures and vegetation, and will demonstrate a stimulating visual setting. The final site will provide a unique space, integrated with Hamilton’s culture and history, which is easily accessible for the public. It will generate a flow of pedestrians and site users, and ensure a new community space which is welcoming for all visitors.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Sault Ste. Marie was first inhabited because of its strategic location within the Great Lakes system and the rich ecosystem services that the rapids and Algoma region provide. The story of this working waterfront and repeated reincarnation follows spiritual gatherings, fur trading empires, vulnerable fisheries, industrial giants, and community shopping centres.
54
Baawating aims to reveal the layers of place and establish a new working relationship with the waterfront. One that promotes cultural vitality, place-based tourism and enhances the same ecosystem services that encouraged visitors to call this place home.
The waterfront redevelopment proposal comes at a crucial point for the City of Sault Ste. Marie. With large mall vacancies caused by recent consumer shopping trends and an aging waterfront boardwalk, there is an opportunity to integrate a vibrant, walkable and mixed-use district, sustained and enhanced by new employment opportunities, higher density residential development and a broad range of amenities for both local residents and tourists.
Intensive modifications made to the waterfront over time has reduced the rapids to a fraction of its original state and caused the river to be designated an area of concern under the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
With mental health being a major problem in Canada, increasing evidence has suggested that nature can positively contribute to the improvement of individuals’ mental wellness. Therapeutic gardens have been developed based on these studies; however, these are typically located only at healthcare institutions. The outdoor spaces that currently exist in our neighbourhoods are often designed only to improve physical health. The nature refuge at Lisgar Fields aims to bring the healing benefits of nature to our local communities by introducing an interactive and immersive healing garden into a residential neighbourhood. The proposed garden will include space for events and social gatherings, flexible open space, and a boardwalk and lookout surrounding a pond. A community garden will allow visitors to interact directly with nature through various horticultural therapy and teaching programs. It will include wheelchair-accessible planters and raised beds with ledges for people to place tools on or rest against as needed. A series of sensory gardens will help individuals reconnect with the present and pull away from negative thoughts, emotions, and memories. These gardens take inspiration from the common 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique in which a person takes note of 5 things they see, 4 things they feel, 3 things they hear, 2 things they smell, and 1 thing they taste. The healing garden at Lisgar Fields will be as accessible as possible for people of all abilities and provide many opportunities for interaction with nature. Visitors will be able to experience the full range of benefits that nature has to offer and the garden will provide the first step in helping individuals improve their mental health.

Thisdevelopment.project
focuses on redeveloping the existing Georgetown Market Place Mall into a vibrant, mixed-use, community hub. The transformation of the Georgetown Market Place provides a unique opportunity to create an innovative, dynamic, and sustainable mixed-use community with a strong sense of place. Market Place Commons aims to redesign traditional suburbia by addressing issues related to sprawl and walkability through the use of landscape urbanism and suburban retrofitting.
Market Place Commons intends to environmentally repair the site through the transformation of existing parking lots and underused retail space into a connected network of pedestrian-friendly, tree-lined streets, inviting storefronts, as well as provide a variety of housing, and open green spaces. Market Place Commons aims to combine existing infrastructure with additional facilities to improve connectivity and create an overall sustainable, and efficient community. This community will serve as the new center for neighbourhood retail, recreational activity, and active living in Georgetown. Market Place Commons aims to become a popular destination for the people of Georgetown to live, work, and play

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
MarketPOPS aims to improve the pedestrian experience for downtown Guelph, and increase potential for vital economic activity, and social infrastructure. We wish to demonstrate what’s possible when local businesses, organizations, and residents come together to create public space. We hope that the MarketPOPS legacy will outlast COVID, and make Guelph more livable, connected, and fun for the long haul!
STEVEN SHUTTLE, MATT CANARAN MARKETPOPS
The impacts of COVID-19 on local businesses have made it clear that we must re-imagine downtown Guelph’s open spaces. Our project MarketPOPS aims to animate existing spaces as places for people and food, and begin the conversation around transitioning Guelph into a circular food economy. We proposed to activate the existing municipal parking lot with food huts. These modular huts will be offered to local restaurants with a communal patio to facilitate outdoor dining for Summer 2021, in accordance with public health measures. The food experience is intended to highlight the restaurant’s specialties and unique Macdonelldelicacies.Market supports the recovery of the main street by making better use of outdoor space. The Market’s Community Stage will frame the key view of the Baker District and the Royal City Mission and provide year-round activity. This would mean reconfiguring the parking lot’s vehicular access to be from Cork Street and reuse 25 offstreet and 7 on-street parking stalls.

Pier 8 salutes the waterfront’s industrial history through the site design and nautical theme that can be experienced throughout. An urban destination that is bustling with activity, where work and play can coexist. This new community hub will be a destination for art, culture, recreation and leisure, prioritizing accessibility for all members of the community, accommodating to the rapidly growing population. Overall, Pier 8 will bring a unique recreational waterfront experience to the members of the community; an active design that the city can be proud of.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
For my final Capstone studio project, I chose to design the Pier 8 Site in Hamilton, ON. Pier 8: A Waterfront Revitalization is a place created to support the recreational needs of the Hamilton community. In line with the city of Hamilton waterfront goals, Pier 8 provides visitors with a close connection to the water’s edge while encouraging active and passive recreation to support a healthy lifestyle.

GRACE DOIRON VOLITION PARK
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The design of Volition Park, aimed to mitigate urban congestion and gentrification in Liberty Village. The term “Volition” refers to the power of using one’s will based off of internal motivation. This park represents an active response to the gentrification existent in Liberty Village, which has displaced residents over the past twenty years. Gentrification can be described as a major change in character of a neighborhood through the influx of affluent residents, while displacing the social, economic and environmental aspects of place. The goal was to strategically create a new sense of community in neglected areas. The project brings forth contemporary improvements of accessibility, leisure and recreation in hopes to benefit residents of Liberty Village instead of displacing them.
OSSGA Student Design Competition Winner
The Carbon Sink Conservation design intends to compensate for the released gas emitted from the Codrington Pit extraction period. The transportation of materials in the aggregate industry generates 13 million tons of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per day and the site’s vegetative communities strive to reverse these negative effects through carbon mitigation. Following the completion of four rehabilitation phases, over a timeline of twenty-two years, the once extracted gravel pit will develop into a 259-acre carbon sink. In ten years alone, this site could potentially absorb over 2,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide. Not only does the newly rehabilitated park promote awareness but will also play a role in alleviating the effects of climate change. This site plays a small but imminent role in improving air quality and strives to influence and act as a precedent concept for future rehabilitation projects. The integrated park facilities and year-round activities will become a strong addition to The Lower Trent Conservation by creating an inviting community experience with educational opportunities. Furthermore, the site enhances biodiversity, connectivity and encompasses rare community types uncommon in southern Ontario.

In consideration of the Claire Maltby landscape as the last greenfield within the municipal boundaries of Guelph, our team found it imperative that we implore a landscape forward focus to the development of the site. Our goal was to maintain a continuous open space system that prioritizes active transportation, equitable access to the landscape, and the integration of dense urban form that is respectful of the sites unique topography. Guelph is the largest city in Canada to rely almost exclusively on groundwater and, therefore, maintaining the form and function of surface water recharge further informed our design process. Geological remnants in the Paris Moraine weave through this landscape and we took this as both a challenge and an opportunity to dovetail the glacial history into a story scape where the built form and typologies reference and maintain the sites history, vital hydrological functions and unique landscape character.

In our fourth year Urban and Community Design Studio, we were challenged to come up with a conceptual design for an ecologically and historically significant site in Guelph, Ontario. This project process stimulated methods utilized in design practices: we worked in collaborative teams of four to understand the site and its context through exercises in inventory, research, and analysis. As aspiring landscape architects, it is essential to understand the community design field, its scale, function, internal organization, and how to integrate them into their context.
Our group decided to focus our plan on active design. We created a community that fostered active and passive recreation through the use of park spaces, connected streets, playgrounds, pedestrian pathways, trail systems, event spaces, and bicycle infrastructure. Our design provides community members with the opportunity for an active lifestyle, leaving our sedentary car-dependent lives behind.

the Winter 2020 semester began to come to a close, more than half of the BLA 2022’s including myself were quickly finding out where we were set to study abroad in the new year. I could remember opening that envelope and seeing the words: Canberra Bilateral Exchange and I was immediately overwhelmed with excitement. Not a single thought or worry was going through my head at that moment and I’m sure some of my other classmates could relate just by seeing the reactions on their faces. However, there was another note in that envelope. A little half-page yellow note that talked about “COVID-19”. Of course, the majority of us disregarded the note completely and didn’t worry about it too much. But little did we know that the small yellow note would become much more relevant within a matter of days.
AS GO.

The winter semester officially ended and the summer somewhat began. We all tried to think positively and held onto our hopes that COVID-19 was going to go away within a couple of months and that we were still going to be able to study abroad at our destinations come January 2021. But alas, the email none of us wanted to see eventually made it to our Inbox at the end of August notifying us that our W21 Exchange programs had been cancelled. what now? For those of us who were supposed to go on exchange, we now needed to come up with a new plan. The fall semester had hardly begun, and we were all told to start thinking and figure out what we were going to do in the winter semester. We were ultimately left with two choices: Doing an Internship or doing 2.00 credits worth of electives.

find an internship, there were to find an Internship like Emerson always to try and get an internship semester of third year. However, happened in the fall semester about being able to get an was able to land an online internship based firm, thinc design.
Along with this course, I also took the opportunity to complete another Independent Study during the Winter Semester. I did my Independent Study alongside Professor Nadia Amoroso focusing on advanced digital design representation specifically animation. The renderings consisted of typical drawings that you would see on a panel such as plans, perspectives, elevations, etc. I wanted to showcase how you could easily and efficiently enhance your drawings and presentations using this application within a matter of minutes. Depending on how detailed you want to make it, you could bring your drawing to life in AfterEffects in less than 20 minutes.
In the end, most of us including myself took 2.00 credits worth of electives. However, we all took unique and different approaches to this semester given the Ascircumstances.thecourse selection began to open for the winter, things started to become more optimistic. Professor Karen Landman was very kind to offer an arborist course through an Independent Study for the third year BLA students to take during the winter semester which was normally only offered to fourth year BLA students. This course guided us through the ISA handbook, where we completed a series of weekly tests proceeding the completion of each chapter. The knowledge we had gained throughout this course as well as the ISA Handbook would then help us if we ever did decide to pursue an Arborist certificate in the future after graduating from the BLA program.

WITH out a doubt, the option to do an internship sounded like the preferable and ‘fun’ option. However, nothing comes for free, or easily for that matter. The Internship option was there; the only problem was finding one. During a global pandemic, chances were slim. The whole month of October was filled with back and forth emails to firms and offices, updating portfolios and resumes all while trying to finish assignments for courses. By the time October had ended, only a few responses had circulated my inbox and time was running out.

As we enter our fourth and final year of the BLA program, I know that we will be faced with more challenges.

As you can see, we all managed to make the best out of the particular situation we were experiencing in our own unique ways. Some of us had better semesters then we had originally planned and in the end, we got to still have an amazing experience whether they were virtual or in-person. Personally, I would consider this year as one of the most challenging and frustrating academic years I have experienced, yet I must acknowledge it was extremely rewarding and affirming to have persevered through it.
He goes on to say that “There are definitely some things I feel like I’ve missed out on due to the alternative format for this internship like being able to properly meet my coworkers, or easily being able to ask general questions about LA”. He also says, “overall, I was still really happy with how the internship went and how much I’ve been able to learn in terms of technical skills, but also about myself and my place in this field”. Other BLA3 students took this semester as an opportunity to take courses that went towards completing a certificate or even a minor that they planned on getting.
