James Steiner with LANDCO2 was one of the landscape architects to participate in a community design charrette with Milwaukee’s Escuela Verde (Green School) in the Silver City Neighborhood on the south side. The goal of the charrette, in collaboration with UW-Extension and Greenprint Partners, was to work with students of Escuela Verde on the redesign of a large open lot across from the school. Greenprint Partners set design guidelines for green infrastructure strategies to capture stormwaters on the site and LANDCO2 worked with the students to visualize creative ideas for a new gathering and activity space on the lot. Here are a few images from the two-day event and some of the conceptual design sketches.
