Groundscape encompasses the design and transformation of earth, terrain, and landscape surfaces. This includes projects that work with existing topography, soil, and natural systems to create functional and meaningful spaces for communities and ecosystems.

The community explores landscape interventions ranging from ecological restoration and agricultural design to public playgrounds and community gardens. Work here addresses how ground-level design can facilitate social connection, environmental revival, and the adaptive reuse of sites from landfills to historic ruins.

Bend It

The more dense our urban environments become, the more valuable open and natural settings become. This struck me first when reviewing how the adjacent community has appropriated the abandoned train route to commune with nature and neighbors in ways that are informal, organic, creative, and productive.

SPROUT FROM SPRAWL

Sprawl the Programs, Sprout of Communication. In a market that emphasizes only fragmentary purchases, people simply comfortably and impulsively consumed agricultural products. So we look forward to bringing together each field of agriculture scattered sporadically through our design like a sprout, just like the title of the contest, "Sprout from Sprawl."
