Finally my design is coming together for the mid-review.  I have used my original inspirations of “centerpiece” and “cracking” and took the ideas to new levels.   I decided to create landforms that move or “crack” into the hardscape areas.  This movement of landforms towards a memorial or “centerpiece,” represents the increasing growth and resurgence of the community. Our design involved producing a drafted plan, section, perspective and 1:30 scale model of our park for the mid-review. img_3452.jpg img_3458.jpg img_3459.jpg img_3457.jpg  At this stage in my process I created several circulation diagrams to better understand visually how the site would be used by visitors.  These diagrams inspired me to create landforms, plantings and path systems based on programs and heavily trafficked areas.       I also used a couple study models to translate my thoughts about the landforms and planting schemes from ideas to physical 3D models.
