TEA SWAMP REDUX CITIES of the FUTURE

PROFILE
My lifelong passion for food culminated in an undergrad in Food Sciences. During this time, I owned and operated a small urban farm supplying vegetables to a local farm-to-fork - facilitating the development of skills my undergrad wasn't able. Agriculture brought me to history, culture, design and sustainability. Wanting to contribute to the world in a positive, tangible way - that both draws on my skillset and compliments my thirst for creative expression - I found Landscape Architecture.

Cities of the Future MULTISENSORIAL LANDSCAPE
Course LARC 582 Date
Aug 2021
Skills
Rhino 3D, AutoCAD, Lumion, Photoshop
From preliminary sketches to rendered views I explore how cities of the future might offer a multisensorial experience. With the provision of olfactory-stimulating structures, audible watercourses, naturalistic forest planting and site architecture that plays with light – the park immerses the user in sensuous experience.

Prospective sketch exploring compositional and spatial elements. My goal was to evoke the solemnity of a morning walk, where the early spatiousness mediates a sensuous experience.
In the transition to model, I refined the needs of the graphic, what senses did I want to convey and to what audience? How did I want the graphic to make them feel?
21
With the second graphic I wanted to broaden my audience, expand the sensorial palette, and convey a diversity of potential activity. The park wasn't solely for monring walks, it was also for picnics and open programming.
Preliminary Sketches & Planning
For the second graphic, I needed more dynamism, which culminated in the exploartion of site architecture. For this graphic, I wanted to elicit the conviviality of youth and socialization.
