Transforming urban vacant land through the installation of performative landscapes has been one solution to the problem that has plagued rust belt cities in recent decades. Today Philadelphia has the highest per capita vacancy rate in the country with more than 40,000 vacant parcels throughout the city. This studio focused on another source of urban vacancy, property owned by non-profit organizations. The students developed landscape strategies for the 22-acre campus of the Methodist Home for Children and its several populations of formerly homeless women and children. Students followed the visionary lead of the client who is in the process of converting several acres of lawn into an urban farm in order to feed the residents, promote healthy lifestyles and diet, and to generate revenue from the excess produce. The class established ideas that can help guide the regeneration of the campus with design interventions grounded in a systems approach that will establish an identity, create spatial cohesion, provide recreational space for the residents and their children, create a more sustainable campus with the expansion of urban agriculture and tree production, and will help to reduce water bills significantly through the implementation of devices for the biological treatment and re-use of storm water runoff.
