duncan park I MLA spring 2012
The studio began with the development of a theoretical model for how character and performance operate in landscape. We were then tasked with coming up with a program and a set of objectives for a specific site. I chose Duncan Park in Austin, TX. My proposal is to turn Duncan Park into an adventure playground centered around nature-based play and discovery. I think it’s important for children who live in the city to understand that nature is not something that happens outside of the city, out of their daily lives but rather it’s something that is a part of them. Equally important to me is the integration of natural infrastructure and social infrastructure. I see education as the link between the two entities.
