EAST ST LOUIS ACTION RESEARCH PROJECT

Site Plan
 
The site includes prairie, a paved area with planters, and an orchard.  The prairie (orange) offers a nice walking experience, but also keeps sight lines open.  This creates a feeling of safety and community.  The paved area (red) provides a place for activities, including the raised planters near the assisted living area.  There is also a reflecting pool, which set against the unbroken curve of the community center, makes for a very serene experience.  The orchard (top right) offers a place for residents to go out and pick fruit and get exercise.
