This is my final design looking at it from a perspective. The rendering took into play of the sun during the summer solstice. I did this to show the amount of shading that would be within the site even during the hottest of days in the heat of Las Vegas. When taking this render I also took into play the beautiful scheme of the tree colors and placement.

This Step

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

The design of the pocket park is nice and has a clean layout. I think the addition of benches under the trees would have helped to maximize the shading though or the addition of trees in the main courtyard area.

I'm curious about your decision to have walls around the park/plaza section. Also, where did your water and rock feature go to?! We seem to have a path that leads into a wall now.

You've done great work making decisions and explaining your process this entire project! Great work & keep it up.
