Hello M.Z.Z. I've enjoyed reviewing your project. I really like how you've identified a specific location for the park and also talked about who might use use. The statistics, maps, aerial photos, etc in the Collect Info step help paint a picture of the area. But I'm wondering if you could have drawn some conclusions from the data about the needs/wants of the neighborhood... which would then have informed the design decisions you made later on.

Your final renderings have a very nice quality to them. But your model is sort of floating in the blue sky, not rooted to the site you've identified. It would have been helpful to build/draw a bit of the surrounding neighborhood to help us see the context of where the park will be located and how it connects to the existing landscape, infrastructure, and buildings.

Keep going... You're on a good path!

Very nice rendering.

I really like the idea of the planters and the way they are placed, your park looks very spacious in this view by the way! I also really like the fact that you have the park well lit, thinking about it in night time or just when it's getting dark, I feel it's safer that way.

I really like the idea of using the planters to allow people who want some privacy to get it in the park, and it can also allow students in the area to have a place to study that is near their school.

I love how your brainstorm ideas really incorporated with your design. You knew what you wanted to create and made it real in REVIT. You did a great job at building up to your final design.

The addition of green space and planters are a nice idea, but it probably would have been better to only use the planters on one side of the seating to allow more access to the tables as well as a less crowded feel.

The pathways are nicely done. The use of circles would lead to interaction; however, I would have prefered a main path at went to the center. Individuals who visit the park would have to walk through other elements of the park to reach the main area of your park.

The design on the concrete is really innovative.

The planning of the placement of the trees is very thoughtful as it is done perfectly, to consume space in the area. However, it seems to my understanding and visual orientation that I have noticed your park floating in the air? Maybe Show buildings perhaps...

I like how you incorporated the stone walkways into the design. It offers a more natural look while still being modern.
