This provides an environment based activity that would engage the community with nature and their surroundings. The inclusion of environmental art would inform planting strategies in order to complete the cycle of growing, harvesting and making within the site.
The arches could be renovated and included as part of the new design. The arches could be used for community growing, cafes and shops that will provide a central plaza for the community.
