The Friends of Schuylkill River Park began developing the new vision for the gateway to this park, and contacted the Community Design Collaborative to transform the park into an archetype of a living, didactic landscape. The project  concentrated on the front parlor entry and the larger, paved gathering area, referred to as the living room, to solve the problems of dark space, cracked pavement, storm water drainage, cross circulation for bicycles, and the re-circulation of water in the central fountain.

Project Involvement: facilitated group charrettes and discussions in two separate community workshops, produced renderings for submissions that secured grants for post conceptual design services​
