The concrete chess tables, the large outdoor chess and the water wall. The chess area, equipped with concrete chess tables and a life-size outdoor chess table, acts as a central point for community members to socialize while they play chess. However not everyone who comes to the chess area has to be interested in chess. A water wall towers over the chess area, providing tourists an attraction to visit while providing the community members a spectacle to marvel. Even the park-goers not interested in the water wall will be affected, as they listen to the white noise of the man-made waterfall.

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

Maybe think about details regarding the water aspect of the wall. Since you are designing something in the desert you may want to think about the various costs associated with sustaining this structure. You also may want to consider how the chess table may be utilized with maximum efficiency due to the heat, heating the chess pieces during the summer.
