2nd Year BLA - LARC*3050  Landscape Architecture I presents:

PUBLIC VIEWING and OPEN HOUSE - SMALL SPACES.  BIG IDEAS.

In cities around the world, citizens and city builders are converting alleyways, underpasses, vacant lots and underused
parking areas into new public spaces and “pop up parks”. Come see more than 50 ideas created by students from the
University of Guelph’s Landscape Architecture program for creating these spaces in downtown Guelph.
