Reed City's Exhilarating Thrust
Reed City's Exhilarating Thrust

For my capstone project in Fall 2023, I had the privilege to prepare an evidence-based design proposal for Nartron Airfield, an abandoned airfield in Reed City in Michigan. The airfield, that has been abandoned for thirty years, was reimagined into an amazing race circuit that would become a marvelous tourist landmark in Northern Michigan. The design includes a racetrack that is approximately 4 miles with elevated inclines over the existing Old US 131 road, some condos and a bar for users to socialize, get food, and enjoy the race. The design even includes a bus transit hub to support bus routes and enforce bus connectivity to the site for convenient transportation for tourists. The design together brings together a concept called, “Reed City’s Exhilarating Thrust”, that captures the wonder and excitement that the race circuit brings.

The project involved writing a literary commentary on Play and Learning and a playground design for outdoor learning and play in Tyler Elementary School, Detroit. The design serves to support the learning objectives of Michigan's K-12 Curriculum in Maths, Social Studies, and Science for grades four and five. The project gave me an opportunity to explore play and design and how playgrounds can be great outdoor spaces to enforce learning and development for children.
