In order to tie this new park for my community into my school I decided to use the buildings weird and interesting features such as the various angles of the structure itself.

This Step

Summary

Take A Book, Return A Book

Parks can be places to read, learn, dream, and share - Check out the Little Free Library project! They're popping up in communities all over the world!

What should I upload in this Brainstorm Ideas step?

Consider uploading

  • hand sketches
  • site plan drawings
  • a quick study model of all your first ideas.

You can scan these drawings or take photos of your model.

Although this is a very good idea, I feel there was a better way to tie it with the school and the community.

Schools, like parks, are usually always built for function and forum with a budget. Borrowing ideas from a neighborhood school is useful in both feeling the vibe of an area, connecting the new to the old, and achieving design which the residents will be more likely to accept and enjoy.
