Unique Forms of Continuity in Landscape


We are proposing a systematic design that seeks to enhance certain parts of the landscape around Blake. Starting with an initial mold, the tiles will change form when exposed to different landscape features such as something structural (stairs, benches, overhang) or organic (trees, perennials, grass).


From this starting point, there are two possible ways this structure can manifest. Option one would be to implement this system in an space around Blake that is "dead," under utilized, or awkward in order to revitalize it(a place that comes to mind would be the area around the truncated brick paving path). Option two would be to implement the system in an area that will presumeably have high traffic (the space in between the benches).


Depending on which option we will pursue, the function of the design will vary slightly. However, the basic intention of these moldings will be to direct people from Red Oak Lane into Blake Hall, and to create a wider variety of seating and spaces for people to congregate.
