Our design manifested from the idea of children’s interests. We used shapes, curves, and color to appeal to them as well as offering them opportunities to interact, learn, and socialize. Our Community has a zone that focuses on residents and 0 another that focuses on children. They are connected by the curved pattern on the ground, similar planting strategies, and the use of colors. Color was a continuous them throughout our site.

The Playscape offers opportunities for children to play, learn, and socialize. It includes The Community Center, Green Houses, and Play Lot. The Play Lot contains structures that are unique and highlight our design goals. The strucures include colored triangle shade structures that creates new colors as sunlight passes through them. As well as a mound of soft colored foam-like rocks that allow children to climb and get a view of the surrounding play area. A meandering wall, on the edge, creates outdoor rooms, keeps children secure and gives them an opportunity to interact with different types of materials on the wall.

The surrounding mountains and valley terrain along with the dry, hot climate were influential in the outcome of our design. We as a group focused on the surroundings and the children of the area to create a space that adds color and youthfulness to an otherwise overworked dreary environment.

Healing Gardens Winter 2015 LA 499 Project Description
Recruited by USC Norris Cancer Center to propose possible designs for their rooftop, hoping to create a space for patients to enjoy from their rooms. Our proposal was to use vegetation and create a veil and using various materials to activate the ground-plane, while still meeting with the limited weight requirements.

INTERACTION
Possible additions to the space for more stimulation could be the addition of bird feeders or humming bird feeders. In this example we have IV bag hummingbird feeders, giving this common hospital symbol a more positive connotation.

Paint/Mural
A
The table becomes a canvas, being covered with paint either as a solid color or in a pattern. A less expensive option with a wide variety of outcomes/ possiblities.
Mosaic/Tile
Using tiles or stone as a veneer on the table. More expensive and more weight. Can be somewhat reflective and can come in a variety of options.
Lighted
Using lighting, LED for example, within the table to create a pattern as well as being visible during the late hours. More expensive depending on teh extent of the lighting.
Wood/Pannels
Using wood as a facade. It can be burnt or carved into to create patterns. It can also be used as a clean surface. Expense depends on type of wood.
SUPPORT
A variety of options that are meant to guide the eye and allow visual interaction as well as mask the less asthetically pleasing aspects of the roof.
Table allows a heavier load displacement on the rooftop, creating a space for the rows of vines.
