Milpitas Parks System

2024 Milpitas, California

Concept proposal in development for a series of small parks and pavillions in Milpitas, California, USA. The core of this proposal is a 3D form, reminiscent inspired by the Möbius strip. This design is meant to symbolize the continuous growth and interconnectedness of the community. The infinity form provides four distinct surfaces, offering ample space to display material about the parks' namesakes, community artwork, maps, and information, enriching the visitor experience with educational, aesthetic, and community-driven content.

Another integral part of the design is the incorporation of raised garden beds within each loop of the infinity symbol. These garden beds are planted with local flora, creating a living component that not only situates the piece “within” the park but also educates visitors about the native plant species of Milpitas, underscoring the project's aim to enhance the natural landscape and promote environmental awareness.
