Here is the "corner / street view" of Park-itecture. This is a rendering of the park in order to show the appearance of the trees, and the silhouettes are there to show scale. The view is kind of obstructed, but to relate back to what I stated in my overview, I added in a "living wall" that would be available to the community, which would provide shade and is also a way to 'grow' with the arts district.

Really nice park! I like the idea of squared sub regions, but one question: Are the brownish squares supposed to be dirt? If so, do you think it'll be ideal to have a lot of it? I noticed someone running throughout it, would it cause any trouble for people? I think you might want to consider that just a bit. Overall, your park is looking great!

I think that the idea of a living wall literally "growing" with the Arts District was a very nice touch. One thing to keep in mind is that your park is set in a desert and you should utilize desert-friendly plants that are low maintenance and use low water. I noticed a lot of green flooring in your park. An alternative to grass would be thyme.

The "living wall" concept is very interesting, twoflips. Like buffaloaf mentioned, including native plants are important when designing with sustainability in mind. The less impact your park has on the land, the better. Overall, great work twoflips. (p.s. I love the clever "park-itecture" title!)
