Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
Students enrolled in LA 324 Landscape Architecture Design Studio IV (UKLA) delivered their design ideas for the Parks and Public Spaces Network plan to Princeton, KY in December 2016. The first draft of the report was utilized by the city to get revitalization discussions started. The city embarked on further development of ideas for their downtown renovations with the firm Land Development and Design (LD&D) based in Louisville, KY. LD&D designed the initial plan for the downtown renovation for Big Springs Park and the surrounding area. Some ideas put forth by the students have evolved and been incorporated in the plan such as using Native American shapes as the design theme in focal areas within the downtown location as well as a cantilevered stage over the creek that starts at the urban cave system in Big Springs Park. LD&D has complimented the comprehensive pre-planning projects that UKLA and residents of the Princeton community worked on, such as the public participation workshops.
