This is the back of the park and one of the most beautiful things here is the flowers and plants that are right in front of benches where people can sit to enjoy the scenery.

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 would have liked to see a view from the top of the final rendered design that I could relate the other renderings to. a tree less view would be nice to see exactly where everything is better. I do like the fact that you used so many trees because that's something Vegas doesn't have a lot of.

I really like the overall design, it looks modern, and I especially like the grass wall that you have placed in your park it makes it look more relaxing and inviting.

This is definitely one of the better designs I've seen. The layers of greenery sort of create a beautiful escape from the outside world. Awesome design.

Walls are usually unfavorable in park design- as they segregate an area which is created for open space, create costs and in some cases harbor safety and security concerns. Your walls however are tasteful and represent the green initiative this project sought to attain.
