The idea of using multi-levels for the park struck my mind when viewing the surrounding areas of the park. The park will most likely be used by the workers in the surrounding areas. Most of those workers work in law firms and to allocate a place for them to unwind was a key component for my design. The idea of multi-levels, such as seen in the image (designed by Maxthreads Architectural Design & Planning), provide a representation of the possible separate and division of space. In choosing to do multi-level plans, it would enable those that intend to use the park to be given a serene zone and privacy.

This is actually a really cool idea! But do you think this can be incorporated near the office area since it has a futuristic vibe to it since the downtown site does not really have that type of atmosphere.

You are correct that its theme does not fit the downtown site. However, the main point I tried to take away from this was to use the idea of multi-levels and employ it into my site. Rather than the actual plan itself, I tried utilizing the concept and incorporating it into my site.
Of course, the multi-level plan I intend to create would not be hyperbolized to that magnitude! It's more meant to create separate spaces for those who intend to have a sense of privacy within the site.

Thank you. :)
