This is the view of the enclosed park from the 4 way intersection, one of the most crucial aspect of my design was to to find a solution for this potential problem. I wanted my park to me as quite and peaceful as possible which is why I decide to make green walls to buffer out the noise from the streets.

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

I like the fact that you included grass in the outer walls of the park. It hints what the park inside has to hold and that is full of grass and places to relax. I also suggest putting vines on the walls as they represent freedom of growth.

I really like the concept of a pseudo natural barrier, not only does it provide the privacy that the park required based on your design, but it is a great natural and sustainable barrier.
