This studio was dedicated to creating a master plan of CU Boulder’s South Campus which exists currently as large open and green space. The assignment emphasized the incorporation of apartments and townhomes, academic buildings, and recreation buildings all while preserving as much open space as possible.

Main Goals

For this landscape architecture-focused assignment, the focus is on creating a walkable and inclusive space for the apartment residents which are the buildings shown in this plan. The goal was to emphasize the undulating nature of the site’s existing open space within the design, influencing users to slow down and stroll through the curved pathways.
