Landscape Development 2




The concept of the connections stills intact in the way that I found a better form to distribute and forms of spaces in the site. The four main existing path still connect to my site, and they found a form to influence the new paths to maintain a well circulation outside and inside the site and the buildings. It seems to be that the circulation is smoother for the pedestrians and adjacent building, either way they all are connected besides the ones in the site.


The site it self has two crucial elements that definitely influences in the developments of paths, angles and spaces in the site. There is a natural grid of trees which are approximately 15 to 20 feet apart from one another. The grid helped me to create few angles and spaces that could flow better and also conserve part of it and adding few more trees. The other element is the synthetic field where plethora of activities happen as well. 

  
What I did with this element was instead of having something to block and separate my site and the other part of the park I moved the buildings and created a more open space to allow view connection to the rest of the park. I also created a reflective pool in which the reflection of the buildings and the park can be seen from different angles.


Something else to appreciate from the site is the different elevations I manege to create depending the angle of every building into of out of the land.

  1. Hi Richard,

    I find good your tree grid and also the representation is beautiful.
    But I think you should work more on the pathes. They should have a composition concept like the layout of the buildings. The way they are they are not continuous and in arbitrary directions.

    hope this helps

  2. Hi Richard,
    The reflection pool is a good addition. However please ensure the mass of the building in the front of the pool is large enough to reflect in the pool. Low height and sloping structure may not give appreciable reflection. Study of the cross sections would be helpful.
    Thanks,
