This is a well thought out design, and I appreciated how the steps were documented skillfully, using sketching, drawing, Photoshop, and 3D modeling/rendering. It seemed like you thought carefully about what would attract someone to this park, and how people would move through it and us it. Very impressive!

This is a nice sketch, but would be presented better if it was scanned, or if at least the background was cropped from this photo. I like the scale of this entry.

It's really nice to see you using a variety of media to lay out your ideas.

This is a really nice design. I like how there are distinctive areas for different uses, but it all blends together nicely. You've really thought about how it would be used - things like fencing in the playground and providing a path to all the various destinations show that you've spent time developing your design.

I really like the idea of having interactive sculptures as a reason for people to come to this park. Your renderings are beautiful and really bring the idea to life, and the scale figures help as well. Thank you for including such a high level of detail!

It's great to see the overview like this, and I especially appreciate the view with the shadows turned on. I only wish it was larger so that I could see more details.

Collecting information was really thorough and diverse. I especially liked the attention to the specificity of the location during the formation of the park concept. The sketches and renderings were carefully done and well presented. I would have liked to have seen the final project tied more closely to the specific site that was collected.

I do like the idea of putting up some sort of shade structure around the benches -- it was actually an idea that i was considering with the use of some sort of vine trained up on the structure. In the end however, I just decided to make it so that the trees were what provided the shade for the benches, though it does not appear that way in the rendering.The trees are more or less supposed to create a partially secluded alcove as a sort of retreat for patrons of the park (i probably should have included more trees so that this was obvious)

I did originally have plans to incorporate benches around the outside edge of the park. Unfortunately I forgot to place them before I did my renderings and did not realize until later that I had not placed them. There should be a representation of the benches in the Develop Solutions tab though.

I really enjoy the park. it can be enjoyed by both children and adults. There is a well balance between hardscape and softscape with the mixture of rocks, concentrate, and grass provided in the park. All the plants are kid friendly is that is really important to have if you want to have a playground in your park. Everything flows well together. The only suggestion I would make is to try rendering more images at different angles.
