Initial sketches

As this is technically a capstone project, Jess and I feel compelled (and are excited) to apply our project themes to Stanford's environment.  We are in the beginning stages of planning what is starting to look like the historical ecology of Stanford and contemporary perspectives about the landscape that we inhabit.  To capture those elements, we are going to gather information from multiple sources: Stanford's archives, local experts on local ecology, and student experiences.

I've attached a sketch of what we are hoping to accomplish.  However you perceive this image... add live flowers that are native to Stanford, pictures of both the past and present environment, and transcribed interviews.  It's going to be awesome!!

  1. Really like the sketch, Sar & Jess! I know that the tree you're planning to get recently fell down in one of the groves on campus. Maybe you could use the line "If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a noise" as a symbolic theme for your project about how people tend to ignore nature and the environment and how ironic our relationship with our environment is. Just some food for thought as I distract myself from my work...KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!
