As seen above, the shade structure is designed so that it not only protects its guests from the brutal summer suns, but is also designed to have an artistic design and appeal to it. I designed the shade structure so that water can still run off of it but at the same time still have a very sharp and unique design to appeal to the guests at the pocket park.

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

Very intricate design of the shade structure. However, the form of the design seems to be unstable, since Las Vegas has very strong winds that might make it unsafe for clients.

The structure looks very nice but there is room for improvement. Maybe try expanding it a little bit? Make it so the shade reaches the little cobblestone perimeter things.

The structure is nice but doesn't look too safe,try placing more beams toward the center of the structure, in case of any harsh weather,otherwise it could be dangerous
