Chattahoochee River Project goes on display in Cowgill Lobby

Posted on by Sara

The in-progress project will be on display for 4 days in Cowgill lobby starting tomorrow and running until Sunday, November 12.

Virginia Tech ‘s College of Architecture & Urban Studies (CAUS) always has something interesting on display in their lobby and for the next 4 days, it’s Landscape Architecture! We are excited to have this opportunity share what we’ve been working on over at the Landscape Architecture Program‘s Collegiate Square Studio!

Today, 3 graduate students from LAR worked hard on readying all the different studio projects for transport over to Cowgill. For our 10′ tall base map, that meant a lot of prep work!

We are extending a warm thank you to those students for taking care with our labels, pictures, string, pins, posters and boards. Without you, we wouldn’t be headed to Cowgill!

Here are a few pictures to illustrate what these students did to bring our work to you:

Box cutter, bar stool, & pint glass full of tacks

 

As the pins come out, things that need to stay together get taped together. Thank you Jisoo, Dan, & Soyoung!

 

Clear tape replaces push-pins for transport, at the same time, it is giving the map a cleaner look. Thanks Dan!

 

Down to the smallest details: groups of site pictures are prepared and then numbered to keep them organized through the move. Thanks Jisoo!

edit: received a picture late last night of the progress in Cowgill at around 9pm!

Students work hard into the night to get the project ready for display.

Join us to see what’s happening in our 5th-year design studio & how we are leading 4 groups of students through an exploration of what a 21st century National Water Trail could be.

The students are working hard on their in-progress presentation videos and we are looking forward to sharing those here on the blog in our news feed Friday night. Be sure to visit again soon to see how they are applying their concepts to on-the-ground designs.

Landscape Architecture Program Displays in Cowgill

The Chattahoochee National Water Trail Conceptual Plan Project display takes up an entire wall from floor to ceiling. Analysis surrounds the base map and flows around the corner.
An exciting milestone for our 5th year studio.
Students zoom into different areas of the 48 mile reach and demonstrate how their concepts could be deployed at site-level.
String connects pictures taken during the float trip to locations on the ground-and water!
