大学校园广场几何结构地形高差设计意向图

跨学科设计师小组是由五个本科学生；两个风景建筑学专业学生，一个建筑学学生，一个摄影学学生和一个音乐艺术学生。作为校园该场地设计大赛竞争的优胜者，五人跨学科设计师小组得到了机会，并且成功实施了他们所提出的设计。

设计过程中首先开始了各种设计方案和讨论，从个人到团队。然而，最终设计了一系列的团队讨论构思，通过讨论制定了他们的想法和方案，直到第一天的实施。这是一个合作的过程，使整个团队设计和建设这样一个成功的项目。作为一个团队，他们意识到校园的项目需要提供可以参与的空间。它也需要遮荫，让人坐下来休息，聚集和聚会的场所。他们也很早意识到在设计阶段，要把设计绑在参与性的背景下，这些问题不能留在在以后的思考中。

Through several days of dialogue it occurred to us that solution was a series of simple, yet powerful moves. The form of the design needed to adopt an ADA accessible circulation from the beginning. Then, spaces for potential gathering areas needed to be defined. Third, box trees would be brought to the site to provide shade for these spaces and link to the existing canopy. Finally, the placement of the trees is what informs the surface of 2ft and 4ft strips that covers the boxes while creating a variety of seating typologies. The result was X-scape, a hybrid landscape that is a multi-level and multi-purpose space that the community can use for gathering, studying, relaxing and performing.
