This Semester's Project - Intro

This year's SURROUNDINGS project is bounded between Burns Park and I-27 in Lubbock, TX. The primary uses today to the east of the park are flea market and parking. Surrounding the park on the N, S, and W sides are homes. Our course goals are to complete a comprehensive study of the neighborhood and to project some alternative tenancies in the voids.

The Burns Park area hasn't always looked the way it does today. Here's a 1958 aerial photo that shows the park to be a vibrant and tree filled park. Where the empty field and large building were (what was that building?) is now the flea market.
