LAND 6020 - Site Applications - Prof. Jessica Fernandez

Exploring the intersection of ecological function and aesthetic expression through data-driven planting design, this project visualizes key aspects of plant selection and arrangement, including:

• Seasonal Change: Illustrating shifts in color, texture, and bloom cycles over time.

• Biodiversity Relationships: Mapping interactions between selected plant species and their associated fauna.

• Ecological and Aesthetic Functions: Showcasing the role of plants in ecosystem services and design composition.

Primary Project Goal(s):

• Accurate dataset creation to ensure meaningful representation of plant characteristics.

• High-quality graphic communication to effectively convey complex ecological relationships.

This study refines analytical and visual storytelling skills, reinforcing the role of planting design as both a scientific and artistic discipline.
