Besides providing a place for the nearby professionals to relax, for the family together and enjoy the presence of each other, allowing the kids have a place to enjoy themselves and be kids was extremely important. In today's age, going outside is something that is uncommon for kids, but providing a unique place to do this would enable them to do that. A kid needs physical activity and this jungle gym would provide that opportunity to them.

Summary

What should I upload in the Final Design step?

  • final hand or digital renderings
  • images of your finished physical 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 like how you considered making a space for children to use. It shows that you really thought in depth of what your purpose of your park should be. That being said, do you think that a jungle gym is the best item to place in that area? Given the location of the site, the jungle gym itself would not be utilized as much.
Less than 20% of the residents within the 89101 area are below 12 years old.
I do think that you thinking about an area where children can enjoy themselves and receive physical activity is great, but don't you think a space that could be used for multipurpose would be better?
Other than that, I think you're heading down the right path. Good stuff!!
