The Ripples
Creating a Dynamic Journey at the University Square
The Ripples project aims to create a dynamic, fluid landscape design that activates University Square. Inspired by the natural phenomenon of water ripples, the master plan seeks to integrate undulating forms and flowing lines into the landscape to create a sense of movement and visual interest. Through strategically using plantings, hardscapes, water features and other different programs, the design seeks to create a harmonious and immersive environment that invites University Students, dogwalkers, families, workers, and other users. The master plan encourages using sustainable materials and techniques, promoting a holistic approach to achieve the six leaves of sustainability.
