Introduction

This is my first design project in the field of Landscape Architecture. In this design studio I face difficult real-world problems in West Philadelphia. Also, I have chances to work with Sulzberger students and teachers in the classroom, which give me an opportunity to get to know the neighborhood and what my "clints" think about their living environment.

 

 

Site

The site is located in West Philadelphia. It's on the corner of 48th street and haverford street. Sulzberger Middle School is on the north of the site. The site is now used as a football field. There are some huge trees on the edge of the site which is worth of preservation.

 

Story

With the project procceeding, I know the neighborhood gradually. West Philadelphia is not the region what I think before. I notice that there are a lot of activities in the neighborhood. People live here and enjoy their life. Therefore, in my design, I would like to talk about "the daily life in the neighborhood".

 

Design

For me, the challenge of this design comes from how to orginaze the sequence of 18 holes miniature golf course, and how to deal with urban environment. I learn some different approaches in design by discussing with classmates. Also, I extend my imagination from kids of Sulzberger Middle School.
