A sample of Ball State University graduate site design studio spring 2011.
The studio explored housing and shared infrastructure as integrative tools to generate a new Ecological Urbanism at the scale of the rurban neighbourhood. Students were asked to question the role of landscape architecture in facilitating social organization - beginning with the supposition that no advances in green infrastructure and site design can occur without re-organizing the existing political and economic structures, in order to promote alternative systems for 'in' and 'co' habitation. These images represent a collective calibration of what role “live/work” programming plays as a generator of landscape types. In other words; Where do people live? Work? What happens in between the dwellings? What extensions of domestic function can serve as economic engines?
