Experiential Learning Partnership
A group of four Senior Students, at the School of Architecture, University of Florida, under the guidance of professors Martha Kohen and Martin Gold, developed
in the Spring Semester 2012, an Independent Study for Visioning alternatives to enhance the Identity and Development possibilities for the Down
Town area of the City of Crescent City, Putnam County, in the State of Florida. It has been a privilege to have the opportunity to develop a Service Learning
Experience, allowing our students to work with real Florida issues and interact with Local Authorities, members of the CRA, Community Redevelopment
Agency, and the Community at large.
The study has built on the fi ndings of the Crescent City Workshop held on June 3-4, 2011, that identifi ed the main ideas for the city, enhancing the “Sense
of Place”, acknowleding Art as a Catalytic Draw, recognizing Architecture and Heritage as important assets, and engaging Aquatic Activities on Crescent
Lake and Stella Lake.
