Landscape as Identity: Representing Change at 230 College Street
Student Ideas Competition

The Landscape as Identity ideas competition offered the opportunity for competition entrants to foreground landscape as a medium for change to the new Daniels building at 230 College Street.  The ideas competition was intended to promote exploration of landscape strategies that would transform and augment both the landscape and the environmental wrap of the building, utilizing state of the art landscape design methods and technologies.

Landscape as Identity was open to currently enrolled MLA, MUD and MARCH graduate students along with graduates of these graduate programs at the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design.
