Anyone looking for inspiration about the future of Berkeley in these remarkably bleak times should take a look at the New Century Plan. It's a collection of 'if we could' designs for campus, tearing down bad sight lines and replacing ugly pavement with beautiful tile. The pictures are of some utopian campus, green and almost opulent. My personal favorite is this vision of Evans being replaced by two buildings similar to the Bancroft Library. This vision of the area around Sather Gate being opened up is nice as well, although there doesn't seem to be much room for trees in their grand vision of the future.
Academic Senate Student Representative Lia Kraemer suggested an excellent Senior Class Gift idea: reworking the area in front of Dwinelle. It's one of the most popular places on campus yet has ugly pavement and dumpy planters surrounded by ugly benches. There's plenty of room to open the area up, add some thought-out places to sit, and make it greener. Email This Post! |
