This Step

Summary

What should I upload in this Develop Solutions step?

  • images (JPG, GIF) of your rough digital model.
  • an axonometric or perspective view of your model with people, which will help others understand the scale of your park.

It's ok if your model is still a work in progress.

Comments

I'd be curious to hear more about the privacy idea. Is this a private park or is anyone welcome to enter? By having walls all the way around, there are fewer chances for people to see the beauty of the park from the outside, and therefore know that they should look for the entrance.

The park is supposed to be a public park. In regards to the privacy idea, what I meant was that I designed the park in a way that there was privacy within the park. I tried to designate seating areas, such as the ones currently on this image, so that there are both remote spaces and collective spaces. To fit the "hidden desert oasis" theme, I decided to engulf the site with live walls. Conjointly, I decided to add an additional entrance on my Final Design besides the ones within this model.
I want to thank you for taking your time and giving me feedback for my design. I carefully read all your comments and I have been very delighted! Your assessment is very much appreciated!
