1. CityEngine Web Scene Views of Campus Models:
Campus Changes — From the Perspective of the Elm Trees
“Penn State elms have been the living witnesses to our roots as a University, dating back to the 1890s when the first elm tree was planted. They have watched history unfold through generations of students and have stood to symbolize Penn State as much as the iconic Nittany Lion Shrine and Old Main, making them near and dear to Penn Staters everywhere.” (read the source here)
However, many of the elm trees were infected by a bacteria-like organism spread by tiny insects, leafhoppers that cause Elm yellows disease. Eventually, many elm trees were cut down and replaced with different tree species. The following two pictures show a corner of the change of elm trees on campus. These pictures are from the above campus models. This is an example that certain landscape components can influence the overall characteristic of the landscape.
Campus 2005, the elm tree “cathedral”
Campus 2015, same location
