Overall this park is a whole new different experience the community can now enjoy. The green walls along with the various amounts of trees creates such a whole new atmosphere which is what I was aiming for. There are various entries that allow for many people to come in and enjoy the park and sit around on the benches, that are located at literally every side of the park, in peace.

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 park design is well-thought out. It would be beneficial to possibly show an aerial view of the park. That way, any viewer would be able to make correlations between the different aspects of the park. The park does incorporate a good proportion of landscape as well as hardscape.

The Park looks cool and create an aerial so that you can show the layout and how it incorporates the surrounding area as well.

You did a very good job at keeping up with your ideas from your "brainstorm" tag! The sketches look almost identical to your final model. Consistency is key to architecture!

Overall, the design is great! It has enough shading to keep people cool, it's aesthetically pleasing, and so on.
