Abstract

This thesis is a study of an urban, wilderness park, the National Park Services Rock Creek Park in Washington, DC and the ways this park is interpreted. The first part of this thesis discusses landscape interpretation in general and specifically investigates the manifestation of interpretation in Rock Creek Park. It analyzes and discusses the existing interpretation methods the National Park Service uses in the park. Next, it explores new or different methods of interpreting by examining related examples, from art installations, other landscape architecture projects, museum exhibits and land art, that help to expand traditional interpretation. Finally, using the broader ideas about interpretation, it develops schematic design examples of new and creative ways to reinterpret Rock Creek Park. The end goal of this thesis is to develop new methods of interpretation in hopes of reaching more of the variety of users in the Park, giving them a broader understanding of the Park and its resources.
