LA 301_ FINAL PRESENTATION-Taylor Olson
The necessity for water conservation and awareness is not unique to La Verne, but this city does offer unique opportunities to showcase these conservation techniques. With multi-use landscape elements and the sloping topography of the region, the design will bridge together the community and the process of water treatment and flow, while simultaneously improving water quality and habitat. With a focus on water runoff prevention and usage, the design will incorporate the Water Treatment plant, the Marshall creek and the surrounding community in a network of water collection and conservation. This includes the sensor fountains reflecting water use in the community, water treatment wetlands, native planting bioswales, restored river bed, and strategic corridors between the Treatment plant, river and surrounding residences. The result will be a sustainable community, involving residential and commercial regions, a more interactive space with recreational opportunities reflecting culture, and beneficial habitat and general environmental improvement.
