UCLA Campus Entry Redesign
Student: Jen Moody
At UCLA’s Southern campus entrance, the vision is to revitalize a currently neglected corner of campus. Drawing inspiration from the legacy of Ralph D. Cornell, UCLA’s esteemed landscape architect for over three decades, and his close association with Theodore Payne, the proposal entails expanding the use of native plants and reimagining this space as an inviting garden. The selected plants, ideally suited to the climate, enhance campus aesthetics while simultaneously creating a habitat oasis within the city.
