During the fall semester of 2014 the 32 Bachelor of Landscape Architecture (BLA) students in the traveling Savanna Studio participated in a semester-long experimental “crowd-sourced” project that was designed to engage students in hands-on site-assessment/field research for 32 separate “roadscape” sites arrayed along the 7350 miles traveled by the students and faculty during two three-week excursions. The students divided responsibilities for inventory of particular aspects of the sites (e.g. physical properties, existing plant communities, materiality, cultural conditions, climate factors, phenomenological character, etc.), documented their assessments while on-site and then later shared the information among the group in cloud-based files. Upon return to Iowa following the second trip, students chose individual roadscape sites and designed interventions (roadside shelters) in response to the site inventories, such that each student engaged a unique place but relied on the assessments performed by all 32 class members. This presentation documents the various phases of group work including inventory, analysis, and the author’s individual design proposals as developed and communicated through an iterative multi-media exploration in drawing and modeling.
