ABOUT ME

My name is Crystal Carbajal-Castillo. I am a third year Landscape Architecture student at Cal Poly Pomona with a minor in Regenerative studies, and an Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) Multimedia Assitant leader in Cal Poly Pomona.

My interest in Landscape Architecture developed through the years, first at a young age with my interest in protecting and preserving the environment and later during community college with classes I took about design and science. I grew up in an enviornment that allowed me to explore myself with nature.

I believe this path suits my passion about fighting climate change, creating spaces where people feel belonging and connection and my passion for photogaphy and exploring new places.

Rialto High School is located in San Bernardino County, a large Latino community. The land use contributes to many industrial factories, warehouses, and facilities potentially impacting their sense of community and safe environment not only in the city but in Rialto high school. After our visit, we gathered many thoughts of how this landscape could be improved and potentially serve as an area for comfort, education, and encouragement for its students.

HOW CAN WE IMPROVE RIALTO HIGH SCHOOL TO MAKE IT A SPACE THAT ELICITS CONFORT, INTERACTION, AND BELONGING?

Circulation: Establishes places for interaction and a new flow of movement.

Public Health: Creates a sense of belonging and identity while also protecting against the urban heat island effect.

STRATEGY

Education: Tackling climate change factors and providing spaces for interaction with outdoor learning and hands-on experience by establishing an ecosystem with native plant life.

PURPOSE

STUDIO PROJECT FONTANA

NATASHA HARKINSON DESIGN

The purpose is to offer spaces that the community can enjoy like art center, parks, museums, green roofs, and sculptures on the top of warehouses. All this focused on the community’s identity and need which is mostly Hispanic/Latinx. Reason of which, the bright colors and the art on the walls. Furthermore, through bridges, we sought to ensure that this community was connected and there was no need to use the car to get from one place to another. To emphasize this, the site included spaces that the community could need most such as stores, restaurants, housing and work spaces which in many cases are the warehouses.

Overall, the purpose of the Por un Buen Vivir project is to have a healthy environment with the warehouses industry without hinder the community’s health but coexit and support each other for the benefit of both.

The Fresh Moves Mobile Market The Fresh Moves Mobile Market

The Fresh Moves Mobile Market is a bus that’s been transformed into a mobile farmers’ market since 2015 rst under the direction of Growing Power from 2015-2017, then continued by Urban Growers Collective.

Goals: build economic opportunity for Chicago’s urban growers and makers; mitigate food insecurity; and increase access to high quality, a ordable, culturally-a rming, and nutritionally-dense food on Chicago’s South and West Sides.

How: customers board the bus, which is out tted with fridges, bins and bags, and shop for delicious local fruit, vegetables and grocery staples. The produce is priced to be a ordable for all and to provide a fair return for the farmers and makers.

Urban Growers Collective

is a Black- and women-led non-pro t farm in Chicago working to build a more just and equitable local food system. The organization donated the following to neighbors on the South and West Sides of Chicago from 2020–22.

60,201 boxes of culturally appropriate fresh produce donated through Fresh Moves Mobile Market

$1,149,500+ dollars of emergency food donated to those in need of nutritionally dense food through the Fresh Moves Mobile Market.
