Description
This hand drawn and painted aerial rendering is a southwest view through campus from the end of the North Bowl. It was part of an eight piece set developed to capture the design and planning intentions embodied in UC Merced’s 2009 Long Range Development Plan. It was used as the cover image for the 2009 Long Range Development Plan publication. On the right, the Sierra View and North View student neighborhoods overlook the North Bowl’s recreation fields. The tower in the far distance marks intersection of Bellevue Road and Lake Road, a prominent location for a potential landmark. The rendering depicts familiar elements of the campus’ design vocabulary: lantern-like entrances, place-making bridges over the canals and multiuse open space that can accommodate storm-water and recreation. The North Bowl, like the related South Bowl, provides an open space focus for buildings within the core of the campus.
