Discussion:
The Discussion focused segment of campus focuses on bringing all voices of community members, artists, and visitors into the discussion space. The main goal of this section of campus was to create dynamic spaces for discovery of works and escape. This could be escaping into nature or into the work itself. With this area we hoped to provide a variety of multi use spaces in order to ensure that all are able to participate and share within the discussion. Providing smaller scale discussion spaces and larger scale ones will help to diversify opportunities and space within the campus. Additionally these spaces should be integrated within the landscapes to ensure that lighting and acoustics are kept in mind for the purpose of presentation of works. Overall, the discussion section of campus aims to ensure that all people are able to engage in deliberation and discourse across all aspects of the campus as a whole. There is the hope that the work and display of artists will head start this discussion, and the people and community members within the campus will then continue it bringing advanced ideas into the space.
Education:
The education lots centralized their focuses on ideas of collaboration as well as a creation of varying spaces that idealize gathering and inquiry. To break traditional norms that restrict education to certain people and places, like enclosed areas and indoor classrooms, the education lots seek to create accessible outdoor spaces integrated within the landscape. The outdoor areas were created to give ample space for activities such as performance, gathering, play, one on one spaces, quiet areas, facilities, and areas of exploration and reflection. All characteristics facilitate one's needs to garner new ideas and challenge previous ones. Whether the area is composed of walkways, art installations, physical forms, or simply areas of grandeur in the landscape, they all become areas of thought and mediums of education.
Work/Production:
The work/production portion of the collective campus focuses on establishing an environment for all kinds of creators to build, construct, and craft works of any medium. Studio spaces, materials workshops, and ample open space give creators the means and opportunity to learn and grow freely, shaping the world around them with the fruits of their labor. These spaces are a key part in this portion of campus because it is important for all students of all disciplines to have a free space to think and create their visions. Although it is important for students to be invested during their time of work, it is also very important to recognize that students need to be invested in their well being. The landscape throughout these plots reflect activities that are both beneficial to students and the surrounding community. The community garden provides food insecurity relief to those who need and an opportunity for students to interact with their community. The sculpture garden is an area where anyone can take a break from their work and take time to reflect. Overall, this portion of the collective campus is a place where students and the community can work together to produce an ideal campus.
