This is a top view of my model. The leftmost part is the entrance. KEY: striped white (base) = water, off white (land) = concrete, white (structures, fence post) = shipping container metal, clear (fence, 3rd level of structure) = glass, light brown = wood, dark brown = greenery, black (4th level of structure) = metal wire

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 shape of your chosen lot is very unique. You did a great job creating this model, and showing the main parts and locations of which components that will be located at in the park.

Thanks timon! With the various materials I used, it was very important to create a legend.

Also I chose this shape in order to subtly direct visitors throughout the park. I wanted visitors to move through the spaces and occupy them equally, so I made the width of the front, middle, back areas relatively the same.
