One of the main features of my design was an interactive sculpture area. These sculptures can be moved, played with, and some have the capability to be climbed on. This, I would hope, would create a fun environment for both children and adults, since this is supposed to be a family park.

This Step

Summary

What should I upload in the Final Design step?

  • final hand or digital renderings
  • images of your finished physical model
  • or your finished digital model

You can even include links to a YouTube or Vimeo of a digital walk-through like this one: https://youtu.be/ncaVQ2V6XXU

Adaptive Reuse

Architects often find creative ways to reuse old structures that are no longer in use. Check out how old rail lines were adapted to create New York's High Line and Chicago's 606.

Comments

I like the idea of the sculptures. It will be nicer to have a seating near the sculptures in order to relax and for viewing of the sculptures.

I did originally have plans to incorporate benches around the outside edge of the park. Unfortunately I forgot to place them before I did my renderings and did not realize until later that I had not placed them. There should be a representation of the benches in the Develop Solutions tab though.

I really like the idea of having interactive sculptures as a reason for people to come to this park. Your renderings are beautiful and really bring the idea to life, and the scale figures help as well. Thank you for including such a high level of detail!
