A Learning Landscape at Santa Rita Elementary turns the school grounds themselves into a teaching environment. Their capstone book opens with a layered site analysis — the school sits in the Pampanga River basin floodplain at about 4.57 meters above sea level, connected by barangay roads — and designs the landscape around how students move, gather, and learn outdoors.

This is a student design proposal, developed for the LA 4621L capstone studio’s February 2026 study trip — it is a design, not built work.
