For this assignment, I revisited a studio design project to refine the layout in order to create a planting design and a more refined design. We had to select a past project from a previous studio that is complex and large enough to incorporate a variety of plantings. I was allowed to tweak the original layout design to provide spaces for plantings and to improve upon the spatial quality, edge definition, circulation, focal points, etc. The Senior Center site was created in order to connect the elderly to the community and access vital health benefits to stay healthy and independent. To address that, the new program of the senior center will allow the members of the senior center enjoy outdoor activates such as cooking, walking, and games such as pickleball, shuffleboard and yoga. I strived to develop a place that will become a meditation, relaxation, and accessible space to enjoy a habitat walk of native Indiana plants and animals. The botanical, social and naturalistic aspects of this site will attract people from all over Muncie and grow as a focal point of the city. MARCH-APRIL 2023 LA 302 PLANTING DESIGN
