Park-itecture: Recent activity

I like the emphasis placed on the one corner of the park, but I would love to be able to see the environment around it to understand why that corner should stick out! Keep up the great work! Also, awesome pun title!

Nice overall development combining your initial ideas and delivering a completed 3D project. Great to see perspective views showing character of your design. Try developing your material maps to the next level in your next projects.

Overall it is clear that you've put thorough consideration in the pathways as well as foliage placement as your plan is very uniform and clean. One concern would regard your "living wall" and it's exact purpose. I understand your intention in it being a structure primarily for aesthetic purposes, but perhaps you can reconsider its location and perhaps add more of these structures so that they have a greater function. For instance, use said structures to contribute to a seating area, or use it as a shade system. I just feel like your idea of the wall could be expanded into something more.

I definitely agree that the benches in Las Vegas are not attractive nor very comfortable to sit in. I really like your idea to reshape the seating!

The plan is very nice and simplistic. I like how implementation of the gazebo as the center piece and the idea of a "living wall". I personally would have added more open space for anybody that wants to play sports at this part. Overall, great job!

The "living wall" concept is very interesting, twoflips. Like buffaloaf mentioned, including native plants are important when designing with sustainability in mind. The less impact your park has on the land, the better. Overall, great work twoflips. (p.s. I love the clever "park-itecture" title!)

Although they might wear down after a while, these are composite wooden panels that will have some kind of solar-absorbing material in order to add sustainability to the park, but I understand what you are trying to say, and I will take that into consideration!

I agree with the previous comment; an additional entryway would definitely be beneficial. In order to keep the natural aesthetic element and minimize the amount of concrete used, a path composed of flat rock or stone could be used instead of concrete.

In addition to this, I believe that the east and southern regions of the park are a bit too empty. Addition of benches and/or vegetation to either region would definitely benefit the park.

The material you're using for the floor is weird. I would recommend using an actual grass texture. Because although you can tell that you meant for it to be grass it looks just like a green flooring material covering the floor. Or maybe it was meant to be green floor, I don't know.

Overall, the design is very good. The park is very open and allows for a very efficient flow in concerns to foot traffic. However, I have one major concern: the wood panels. I'm quite concerned with their durability with the weather. In addition to the heavy foot traffic they'll be introduced to, they will also experience both extreme heat and coldness. But the most threatening hazard (though Nevada sees very little of it) is rain. I fear that the lifespan of those wood panels will be short lived.
