Four years, countless memories, and friendships that turned into family.
Grateful for every moment, every lesson, and every connection we built along the way.
This journey wasn’t just about a program it was about growing together, supporting one another, and creating bonds that will last far beyond these years.
Here’s to the memories we’ll always carry and as the next generation of students continue to build and evolve this experience
Please join Dr. Alan Waxman's LA 4621L-03 Capstone Studio today, May 6, from 1-5 p.m. on zoom for

From Dr. Waxman:
“A New Kind of National Park: Columbia River Basin Studio” is a collaboration with landscape practitioners of the Yakama Nation: Elaine Harvey, Bronsco Jim, Miles Miller, and Dana Miller. Our site is located along the Columbia River, Nchi Wana, at Pushpum, now threatened by a “green energy” project and potential AI data center. As a class, we proposed confidential site specific strategies in the midterm for use, in part or in whole, by our colleagues in the Yakama Nation and the Columbia River Intertribal Fish Commission.
For our final review, students are asked to personally reflect on the significance of the site: in terms of intergenerational and seasonal time, the various dimensions of place, and how personal experience in time and place weaves together sacred foods, vegetation, and care in landscape.
Students final deliverables include an ecological section perspective, a seasonal cycle, and a proposed wearable. Students must detail who they intend to receive the wearable and when. This human scale gift should intentionally tie into a specific moment in their vision of time and place; it is their final “design intervention,” which resonates through the human system to care for the land.
two years ago, in october 2024, the bundy triangle collective launched a standalone pop-up event.
bundy triangle night market — aka pop up 1 — was one of many experiments by the collective to reactivate and revitalize bundy triangle: an overlooked public space that had been neglected and inaccessible to the community for more than a quarter of a century.
that one pop-up has since grown into a weekly night market.
we invite you to join us in this ongoing transformation of bundy triangle.
whether by purchasing food, or simply spending time in the space, we establish bundy triangle as an essential, vibrant, and vital civic space for sawtelle.

FINAL CALL FOR APPLICATIONS - Deadline is May 1st
Design solutions that matter.
In Cal Poly’s Italy study abroad studio, you’ll take on real-world challenges:
– Flood resilience in the Venice Lagoon
– Urban cooling + biodiversity in Milan
– Drought + community equity in Tuscany
This is hands-on, climate-forward design with real impact.
Final call: apply by May 1 to claim one of the last spots.

Climate change is global. Your education should be too.
In Cal Poly’s Italy program, you’ll collaborate with students from Politecnico di Milano, connect with local communities, and engage with regional experts tackling today’s biggest challenges.
This is more than study abroad—it’s a global exchange of ideas, solutions, and impact.
May 1 is the deadline—don’t miss it.

Design Workshop is honored to support Cal Poly Pomona’s Landscape Architecture program (@calpolypomona ) through this year’s International Capstone Studio, led by Professor Ray Senes and co-sponsored by the non-profit Eat the Elephant.
Design Workshop President Robb Berg and Los Angeles studio member Deil Fernandez traveled with students to Lubao, Philippines to immerse themselves in the ecological, cultural, and urban systems shaping the region. Through community engagement, site visits, data collection, and collaborative workshops, students began developing design frameworks for community-driven projects ranging from plazas and parks to school landscapes.
A key focus of the trip was helping students translate observation into design, identifying site challenges, forming strong design theses, and establishing measurable goals to guide lasting change.
We’re grateful to the students, faculty, and community members who welcomed us and shared their knowledge, and we look forward to supporting the studio as the projects evolve.
Want to see how world leaders are tackling climate change and biodiversity loss—up close?
Join Cal Poly Pomona in Italy this fall. Explore the Venice Lagoon with local experts, experience the MOSE flood barrier in action, and meet scientists at the Institute of Marine Science leading wetland restoration efforts.
From floodable vineyards to living systems—this is climate learning, in real time.
Apply by May 1 to be part of it.
