Come see innovative design and planning solutions to sixteen real-world projects and hear three distinguished professionals offer helpful criticism on the projects.
In the fall term, each Conway graduate student is assigned an individual project selected from property owners in nearby communities who have contacted the school requesting site design and planning services. Although the focus is on a small project area, the projects are never simple. Students are expected to learn and use a basic knowledge of geology, climate, soils, hydrology, botany, wildlife and other natural sciences, as well as skills in surveying, engineering, construction, planning, and conservation. They follow a coherent, logical process of site analysis and assessment to develop design alternatives and recommendations shaped by that information. The design solutions strive to fit the particular needs of the clients to the specific ecology of the site and uphold the school’s mission.
Comments received at the presentations will help guide revisions the students will make over the subsequent weeks.
Join us for all or part of the day!
