Element Oasis Park
|Here in Las Vegas we have a reputation for our gaming and hospitality industries and while that is a big part of our city, those of us who live here know that we are hardly ever on the strip or even downtown on the regular basis. "Element Oasis Park", will be a family-friendly, green, and gutsy, it is not common to find a cool looking, and refreshing place to be in the desert, but I am dedicated to designing this pocket park as a tranquil and beautiful environment to enjoy the elements.

Not enough final design posts in my opinion.
Overall, the process of designnig the whole park did not meet standards. The designer should have considered sketching some of the ideas mentioned in Brainstorm Idaes. For example, the sketch could have shown other kinds of plants or bushes of flower around the park. There were a lot of elements that show the park could be family-friendly, but the designer did not actually show the whole "picture." Everything should have come together in the final solution, but the overview did show what was is noramlly needed in a pocket park.
