Re-imagining the Masterplan for the New American University:
What if the Master becomes a Student and the Plan becomes an Act?

Yellowtrees embarks on a journey to help ASU create a more dynamic masterplan to foster greater cohesion and connection across all five campuses, satellites, and the online community. Bridging the physical, digital divide became the subtext.

How do you create a shared experience that helps the students and faculty to find connections across geographic space, that tells the story of ASU in a seamless way as part of their daily interaction with the University linking both physical and virtual space?

“Respect, in the deepest sense, the strips of chaos that have a weird wisdom of their own not yet encompassed in our concept of urban order.”
–Jane Jacobs
