Senior level architecture design studios explore the Downtown Topeka Design Plan

Kansas State University - KS, Kansas

In the Fall 2000 semester, three senior level design studios at Kansas State University, including architecture, interior architecture, and landscape architecture, are collaborating to assist Downtown Topeka Inc. by developing proposals to explore the formal implications of the newly established Downtown Topeka Design Plan . In this service-learning project, the students gain essential skills in leadership, problem solving, and teamwork, become better acquainted with political realities within a community, and become better prepared to work in the field of their chosen profession. The City of Topeka will be able to test the students design concepts for possible implementation in the community. Contact: Student Services at 785.532.5953 or archdesstuserv {at} ksu(.)edu
