Nearly 40 years later, the controversial redevelopment of the 70’s still has its advocates and detractors, so it was important for all voices to be heard. Interviews and engagement with community leaders, former residents, historical archives, Penn staff, and the high school garden crew informed the process and outcome.
The students of the garden and construction crews at University City High School shared ideas and designs which enabled Graphic Design Practicum to develop 4 site-specific information panels that tell the history through quotes, maps and photos. The panels were created to be as vibrant and interactive as the garden itself.
