The exhibition is a showcase of three years of work by master’s students in the Division of Landscape Architecture\u2019s first year core design studio. The proposed\u00a0pedestrian trail became a catalyst to imagine a more connected, more accessible, more equitable, more ecological, and healthier city. The studio focused on the relatively overlooked areas along the island\u2019s less-developed southern and eastern coastlines, engaging in a diverse range of urban and natural\u00a0landscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
