Comments
Overall, the purpose of this pocket park and the design overall really met standards. The Final Solution gave a simple perspective of a pocket park, but it fulfills everything that the Overview mentioned. The designer effectivey laid a design that showed the orientation of the park and good ideas. Some of these ideas were then incorporated into the Developing Solutions. The designer should of considered adding more vegetation to make the area environmentally friendly. This could enhance the Final Solution of the Pocket Park by making it aesthetically pleasing.
The recycled content idea is very strong. I dig the examples of other playground structures which use tires, etc. But are all of the structures you designed recycled?
The neighbors on either side are going to have a problem though - lots of noise / people. What could you design to deal with that?
