Reimagining the Auraria Campus

Principal Researchers: Kayla Hart, Emily Mesa, Emily Beeson, and Ella Reid Faculty Advisor: Emmanuel Didier

Instructor Emmanuel Didier’s Fall 2022 Landscape Architecture studio reimagined the Auraria Campus for CAP's Living Urban Campus Initiative (LUCI). The work featured here is by MLA students Kayla Hart, Emily Mesa, Emily Beeson, and Ella Reid. Their project titled “Camino Medio (Middle Path)” proposes the “reconnection and flow of people with place.” Their project uses the form and function of an arroyo, an intervention that aims to transform a series of linear concrete sidewalks into curvy, rolling pathways along the intermittent flow of drainage channels, swales, and ponds.
