Hey everyone, my name is Matt Phillips. I'm an Auburn University Horticulture graduate and a second year Master of Landscape Architecture student. I grew up in Trussville, so I am fairly familiar with the city of Birmingham. Although, working in Birmingham in a studio environment provides a completely different perspective. The approach to this studio is more of a design firm approach, which has helped get us prepared for life on the outside. It has been both challenging and rewarding in the knowlege and skills gained during these few weeks. Ben and Kelly's guidance toward the way a firm works has allowed me to tailor my skills to be more productive both conceptually and graphically. The site for this project has been interesting because it has a lot of potential to help connect the city, while also catalyzing development around it. This potential along with the uniqueness and history of the site makes this a very exciting project for both the AU MLA program and residents of Birmingham. Although we've stayed very busy in studio, in our off time we've been able to enjoy many of the assets that help make Birmingham what it is, which has been both interesting and fun. There's not much time left in the semester, so we should be extremely productive these next few days!
