Sunshine Paradise
Summary
I collected pictures of things I thought were important. It's very important to know what the community that's being worked on consists of. For example, the kind of people living in that community. I think it's important to view the different settings around the park because that's what any person in that park is going to see. Then it also helps to add things to the park that maybe these views lack in some way. Communities are very diverse and not everyone uses a park the same way- that's where it gets tricky when it comes to designing. How will I make it work for everyone? I decided this particular park is mainly set for sit-down and enjoyment. I also included pictures of plants and trees and their vivid colors because it's something I really want to incorporate throughout my plan. I continue to collect info about the neighborhood to give myself a mindset to what people around there living might need, want, and enjoy.
