700 Studio _Instructor: Ellen Neises Building atop the Great Green Wall initiative that
seeks to halt the expansion of the Sahara Desert
and restore 100 million hectares of the African
Sahel, the Dakar Greenbelt studio brings this
premise of large scale ecological restoration
and reconnection to the rapidly urbanizing
Senegalese capital city. Rempart Popenguine
proposes a policy framework that calls for the
government and private developers to fund an
initiative that mitigates the damage anticipated by
a new incoming port construction. Category Regional Planning, Ecological Design, Academic

500 Studio _Instructor: Yadan Luo
Located on the banks of the Delaware River in
North Philadelphia, the design of this public space
was heavily informed by a rich narrative of place.
Artistic legacies of the shad fishery & working
landscape by Thomas Eakins and others took the
forefront of inspiration and formal logic of the
park. A hatchery
system for native, anadromous shad will be
placed at the banks of their present and historical
migratory route, to ensure their presence for
generations to come. Category Ecological Design, Academic

Relocalizing Lehigh imagines a future for the Lehigh
Valley that leverages its unique ability for adaptive
re-use into a framework based around adaptive
regeneration. The Re-localizing Lehigh framework
plan emphasizes the shift in the region’s agricultural
output towards climate-resilient/regenerative
practices, economic stimulation,
intra-regional connectivity and increased food security
and stability. Category Regional Planning, Ecological Design, Academic
DECOLONIZING LANDSCAPE
\.24 Design Seminar
_Instructor: Dilip da Cunha In this course, taught by Dilip da Cunha, students
are encouraged to develop a new language for
landscape that avoids the opposition / strict
dichotomy between land and water. This project
seeks to ivestigate the ancient body of water
known as the Western Interior Seaway and
explicate its role in the creation of our present
condition. Category Academic, Landscape Theory
