The Pocket Park: Recent activity

The original research helped inform the early stages of the project; the rationale for having a pavilion was the most interesting part. You state that you're hoping to provide practical solutions but some of what you're proposing might be particularly challenging for the specific site you've selected.

I like the individual ideas but I am not seeing how your research about the specific site is connected to your final choices - how will an ice rink be maintained, for example?

I am wondering how your assessment of lack of water connects with the idea of having fruit trees? It seems like these might be contradictory ideas.

In the "collect" info stage I would have liked to see you offer more analysis - why were these relevant data points for you?

You have stated a clear problem and solution. I like that you have thought about design for all ages as well as the climatic environment and how it will affect people. I like how you incorporated a few sustainable features into your park. I definitely enjoyed the section. I would like to see further development in the execution of your design such as final renderings and floor plans.

The spaces you have are well planed and spaces though not quite suited for the weather in Las Vegas and well not very suited for the site you have planned,

While the pond is a nice touch, I believe having a large body of water in a desert with a drought is impractical. In addition, maintaining the quality of the water will be difficult. Similarly, the skating rink may see difficulty with maintenance because of staffing the rink and there seems to not be a building that will provide skates.
