West Campus Commons The mixed garden planting over at West Campus is the perfect destination for those wanting to get away. The plantings are comprised mostly of herbaceous perennials with a couple of deciduous trees and shrubs for ornamentation and screening. The perennials are all pleasantly fragrant and attract wildlife to their flowers, making the pallet of yellows, blues, oranges, whites, and purple attractive not only to sight, but to smell and texture as well.

Street Harmonics Life is moving. Pedestrians in cities are readily in movement. Whether walking to work, to school, to anywhere play is rarely a commodity experienced for those on-the-go. But no longer. Through manipulative play and melodies, Street Harmonics incorporates play on-the-go and activates fun within dense urban centers. Located on the street-scape, a place rarely recognized for play, Street Harmonics allows for musical play along sidewalks.
Play On The Go Americans use walking as a regular mode of transportation on average of 3 days a week.
= 51%
of the travelling public.
Play Together
25%
of these walking trips are used for recreational and social purposes, not work.
In 2005, an estimated
3,291,401 people used walking as their primary mode of travel for their journey to work each week
Play For All

Rain Garden Demonstration As users play with the musical harp, it’s almost impossible not to notice the luxurious rain garden that the harp inhabits. With the rain garden, Street Harmonics not only improves aesthetics to city streets, but also promotes sustainable storm water management. Rain gardens allows for the infiltration of water from street into the soil. Trees and native plants add greenery and aesthetics which contrast with the hardscape of the urban environment.

The Unbroken Circle After the Korean War ended in 1953, thousands of families were separated by the Demilitarized Zone. This zone which seperates North and South Korea stretches many hundreds of miles and is laden with mines, making it impossible to cross. Over 40,000 families sign up each each year in hopes to be reunitied with their families, while 3,000 family members pass away each year. Between the towns of Daesong-dong (South Korea) and Kijong-dong (North Korea) is the place where the Unbroken Circle lies. This location is one of the last beacons of hope for Koreans as each town has a view of the other. This area between these towns is one of the only places along the DMZ where this is possible. The Unbroken Circle evokes memories of those missed, lost, and no longer in our lives. Through a contrast of unity and separation, the absence of human presence in this site helps remember those missing and why they were special.

Solar movement does not distract from the contemplative experience but enhances the figure of the inaccessible space.
The native soil and weather conditions at this site are ideal for growing native plants. Nearby are farming communities that have existed for numerous decades indicating that the soil at this site is fertile.

What Defines Memories? Are they events, activities, or places we have gone? Or are they dominated by something else? Countless memories are shaped by the people with whom we’ve experienced these moments. Spending time with friends, traveling with family, or letting someone you love go; people define our memories—people that we have met, that we have loved, that we have lost. It is their absence which evokes their memory. Their departure from our lives conjures an absence within us, reminding us how special they were.

Stepping Stone Park In the center of Bellefonte is a dilapidated parcel of land, void of recreational activities and exploration within the landscape. Stepping Stone Park offers a landscape where the neighborhood integrates the downtown district in order to communicate this fulcrum. Residents of the surrounding area are but a stone’s throw away from wide lawns, large plazas and a multitude of amenities that offer an atmosphere imbued with exploration and community.

Grading
Condisderations and Reminders. - Driveway opening is fixed. Cannot be moved. - There must be back porches behind the residents.
- Consider putting an entry plaza for a focal point as well as an area that can collect runoff/ direct it. - There has to be walkways connecting the buildings to the parking lot. These might have to be stepped in order to walk with the contous. - The round turn could get wet, causing dangerous conditions around the turn. Do not want Tokyo Drifting. - Must have at least one retaining wall. - Trees must be preserved. - We do not want an engineer on site, so do not make retaining walls more than 4 feet tall. - All slopes should be “Desirable. - Parking and entry must have 3 inch crown. - Drain inlets can be useful possibly in spots where the contours become tight.
