The 2024 UW Master of Landscape Architecture Capstone Studio asked students to engage in design with the burgeoning Northgate area of Seattle–in the face of climate disruptive futures. The studio’s nine MLA students considered Northgate and its larger context, designing for resiliency, biodiversity, equity, and regeneration for humans and other beings. Over the course of winter and spring quarters, students, led by faculty Julie Johnson, developed their concepts and final designs to present at the culmination of their academic journey in Landscape Architecture at the University of Washington.
Please explore and engage with these projects, and celebrate all of the hard work invested into these designs!
