Freemont Pocket Park
|This park will be designed to go in an area that is beginning to grow more culture and draw a bigger sense of community. So, I hope to fill my pocket park's design with those elements. It will be efficient, fun, and a place for all people to gather. I also want it to look like it belongs in this area. Recently in Las Vegas, there has been a grow in our city's culture, a bigger sense of community, especially in the Art District and downtown Las Vegas. Since this site will be nearby, I want it to be a new addition to help the growth of community and culture.

some of the most merit ive seen
Really awesome project! You should be proud of your sketches and renderings. They are really vivid and give a unique perspective to your design.
Great design! I love that you have created a variety of different spaces within the lot, which makes it feel very inviting. You also have a good attention to detail, providing opportunities for multiple audiences and showing an awareness of climate needs. Don't forget about some of the basics though - what is the scale? How big is the lot?
