For my ebook, I continued to research the campus space issues I worked with to create my storycube. My ebook, like my storycube, draws attention to how space changes, becoming diminished and less green as it is more heavily engineered (not only as buildings go up, but as open space becomes tighter and more unnatural and organized, e.g. with paved pedestrian areas), as the University grows, and how this affects people’s campus experience. Where my storycube was based primarily on my own observations, my ebook gives voice to the University’s perspective on and plans for campus space, as laid out in the current Master Plan. I did not write Campus Space to criticize the University’s physical expansion or its attempt to manipulate shrinking space in order to keep some open, “green”-er areas on campus. Rather, my ebook is meant to make users of campus space aware of how it is changing so they may consider it.
