C O M M U N I T Y KNOXVILLE COMMUNITY
S U R R O U N D I N G C O N T E X TI N T R O D U C T I O NThe site is located between Knox Road and Guilford Road in College Park, Maryland. Knoxville community offers a student housing to University of Maryland students; however, it does not have what they need or has poor condition. There will be a new apartment de-velopment for knoxville community. After the new apartments built up, the community will have a lot of possible areas where contain diverse functions and unique connections. The two buildings will have business retails, restaurants and public spaces on ground lev-el. There will be a interstitial space between the two buildings, and this space can be used as a transitional area as well as outdoor seating areas with aesthetic vegetation. Each building will also have a private couryard to provide an area tentants can gather, relax, and do recreational activities.

C O M M U N I T Y PA R K SAN LUIS COMMUNITY
I N T R O D U C T I O NSan Luis is located in District 9 of PuntarenasCounty which is part of the Province of Pun-tarenas, situated on the Pacific Coast near the Continental Divide in the Tilaran Cordil-lera. Most of Monteverde lies in the tropical montane cloud forest. The Monteverde re-gion contains seven of the twelve lifezones of Costa Rica. The area has two seasons: wet (May - October) and dry (February - May) and an accompanying transitional period (Novem-ber - January). Much of the region is divided between forested areas and agricultural land.
San Luis is a rural farming community that has based its livelihood and development on fundamentals such as family unity and com-munity cohesion. The community strives for a better quality of life promoted within a frame-work of sustainability and community efforts. The major economic activities in San Luis in-clude: coffee, livestock, eco-tourism and ru-ral-tourism.
The San Luis Play Space will be a multi-use outdoor space for local families to connect to the community and nature. This destination will help San Luis gather and grow through activities for all ages created with local and recycled materials. Located in the center of the San Luis community near the community center and cemetery it is equidistant from Alto and Bajo San Luis.

To better understand what the community wanted to experience within this play space, a survey was sent out. The survey inquired about pos-sible elements to be included in the proposed park space. 43 responses were collected, which amounts to approximately 10.75% of the total pop-ulation in San Luis.

We conducted a series of site sur-veys including a detailed topograph-ic study. Though a large portion of the site is flat, the eastern bank rises sharply 3-4m to an upper plateau. By surveying the site the team collected data to draw a de tailed contour map.These contours were vital informa-tion during the de-sign phase.

P L A N N I N G CONTERRA TOWN CENTER
I N T R O D U C T I O NCompact development is the application of sustainable principals to land development. It seeks to reduce negative impacts to natural systems, increase efficiency in infrastructure, and create healthier and more livable con-ditions for residents. In these ways they ad-dress the “triple bottom line” of environmen-tal, economic, and equitability concerns. This project was about to plan a specific commu-nity including commercial, retail, town hous-es, single houses, and community parks. The main goal was to accomplish all requirements within a limited space.
S U R R O U N D I N G C O N T E X T
The proposed land development site is located in between South Laurel and Calverton, Maryland. Because of having interstate 95, and route 200 near its location, a new community will have an excel-lent access to Baltimore as well as Washington, D.C. The site is near a hospital, schools, shopping malls, and a variety of restaurants which will support the new community.
