The original design the students were given to look at.
Research we found that supports our broad problem.

Through all our research we came up with a couple solutions to help.
We came up with a list of over 50 events that could take place in the overflow parking. This is just one of many that we decided to layout so someone could imagine the space.
Another event we planned out.
We did research on new advertising. We found that moss graffiti is relatively self sustainable, easy and not harmful to the environment. It can be applied to almost any surface as well which makes it great to put anywhere.
We also came up with an idea for walking and biking paths that could tell someone which direction SHFF was located and how long it would take them to bike or walk there from that spot. We looked at how we could use light poles to advertise too.
Bus advertising we thought to be very affective too.
The calendar would list all the events planned for the year and would show which season you should prepare to look for them.
Our last part of the project was to create a mock-up app for SHFF. You would log in and have your own profile. There would be tabs to help someone find their way through the app.
You could look at the app to find the location of the Food Forest and any events that would be happening around town that may be connected to SHFF. You can upload your photos and share them with others that are connected.
The event calendar is also at your fingertips. You could find out what time the event starts, where it's located, information about the event, the weather during and much more.

SHFF-Southern Heights Food Forest
Studio: Project 1 (Fall 2013)
Groups of students worked with Southern Heights Presbyterian Church, Nature explore and Community plots, two non-profit organizations, to help find ways of improving a design for Nebraska's first Food Forest. Each group produced different ideas to heighten the space. We focused on several types of guerrilla advertising, creating a diverse event space and producing an interactive app for smartphones that inform users about all the different parts in the food forest.
