Elementary Academy Site Proposal
UCLAx
Intro to the Landscape Design ProfessionsThis project focused on designing an outdoor learning environment for an elementary school campus, integrating play, education, and community space at a child-friendly scale. Beginning with site inventory and analysis, I studied circulation patterns, microclimate, access, and program needs. Through conceptual diagrams, hand drawings, and physical model-making, I developed a site plan that organizes learning gardens, flexible play areas, and shaded gathering zones around clear pedestrian movement. The design emphasizes safety, accessibility, planting as sensory experience, and spaces that encourage curiosity, exploration, and social interaction.
