Saturn Internship

Back in '91 I did an internship at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. The Landscape Architect department was hired to do "spirit of place" drawings for the Saturn Automobile company. The factory was installed in a part of Tennessee so that when you passed by on public roads you could not see it. The entire site was out of view and all you could see was the surrounding natural countryside. These were some of my drawings created that summer.

Sorry for the photo and not a scan. This was framed as a gift to my father and I never got a scan of it prior. This is the show room of what used to be the Saturn Automobile company.

One of the service roads on the property. The idea was to let the landscape return the natural plant material after construction. Only maintaining the areas immediately adjacent to the roads and facilities.
