I wanted a tree to be the focal point of my whole park and I accomplished my goal. From each side of where you may enter, it leads to the center where there is a large oak tree with a nice grate around it. From the center, each pathway leads you to different parts of the park which is all intertwined from the pathways that guide all throughout the 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

I like the fact that you made many of the natural elements in your park the focal point of your park. It emphasizes the outdoors and also add natural beauty to the park as a whole.

The artistic design surrounding the tree is amazing. It creates a general theme of that region of the park. The color scheme you decided to use is also great, it brings out different contrasts in the park and bolsters its natural elements.
