Abstract

The planting design scheme of the project attempts to moderate the discomfort feeling of being in the tropical outdoors. The careful selection of trees, shrubs, vines, and groundcovers resulted in aesthetically interesting and functional outdoor spaces for students. The planting of dense canopied trees in groups, pergolas and lattices create comfortable shady spots. To entice students to move out of their design studios, water features provided a cool and relaxing surrounding to restore tired minds. The proposed planting design contributes to enrich the outdoor space as well as reduce energy use to the adjacent studio building.
