Dear FaithInMe. I've enjoyed reviewing your project. Much of the text you include in the Overview actually belongs in the Collect Info stage. But kudos to you for this type of research and for contacting other architects/designers/ park planners around the country for ideas!

But I struggled to understand where your park was located. Is it in a dense neighborhood? Outside the city limits? Near housing or schools? By not identifying a specific location for your park, you've lost the chance to use the existing pocket site to help inform your design decisions. And this shows up in your final model, because it has no context (it's sort of floating in space now). What's around it? Which way is north? How does it connect to the neighborhood? It's important to show this.

I do like your use of various environmentally friendly elements throughout the park and the research you did to choose them! Keep up the good investigation work. It will serve you well in college.

You've collected information by writing to other designers (which is good) but you haven't really collected any information on specific site. Where will your park be located?

Kudos to you for this research and for contacting other architects/designers/ park planners around the country for ideas!

Great research!

It's hard to really appreciate these images when they are sideways. It's easy to remove them, edit, and re-upload. Help us - your audience - see your project in the best, professional light.

Using solar panels is a great idea to conserve energy for the community. This seems very suitable for the community that the park is located at.

I like your ideas for your park. I think they are really good, however I think you could have added a few more components in your park, like more benches.

I love this neighborhood of this park! Great location! It works well with the surrounding gray. I love how the color scheme of the gray rock matches with the gray slabs all around ! :)

I love the design. It reminds me of a cabana.
