You've considered the site and users. I appreciate the attention to plant varieties to provide shade and color and would be curious to learn more about how you developed the final design. It would be interesting to see more views of your 3D model, or to see other methods of expressing your ideas, like sketching.

I know you've spent time considering the most appropriate plants for your design, and that's hard to detect in this rendering. If you develop this design more, it might be useful to try sketching by hand or making a physical model. It seems like you may have been limited by the technology as you were trying to express your ideas. Also, since you built this 3D model, a shot in plan view (looking straight down) would be helpful.

Beautiful example.

That's great that you're thinking of specific ways that people might use this park, like as a lunch spot.

The idea behind your work was decent,but I don't think you implemented it to the best of your ability. Although, you have one of the only sites in the competition that actually used topography to develop a sloped portion of your design. I'll just leave it at that...

You tried. That's a good thing.

Large trees will provide a lot of shade during those hot summers Vegas has. It's a nice idea to have different levels in your park; it makes it interesting. The paths are not all perpendicular to the edges of the park which is great.

You have an interesting idea with the sloped planters. I really like the benches you created!
