This image gives a basic view of my park from the front entrance. In the center of the first section you can see the fountain, and behind it to the left you can find the seating areas in sections two and three. Also, to the right you can see the beginnings of my small walkway.

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 love the idea of putting a fountain in your entrance. When trying to visualize and picture the site, it gives off a serene atmosphere. Great job!

The overall look and feel of the park is great, but I have a few concerns. For a place like Las Vegas, water is in short supply, and has been for the longest time now. With that many trees, there's going to be a high water consumption rate. They provide excellent shade, yes, but perhaps something else could provide that shade?
