Here I tried to focus on the community park which is on the corner of Tate and Lee Street. I was thinking it would be neat to incorporate water features being they are very popular in most public gathering spaces. On the east side of the building we proposed a large window over looking the park. On this window could be a large LED screen which could have any image for advertising... After doing some research I found a waterwall which would be a great feature to run down the side of the building. Pedestrians could walk under the waterfall without getting wet! The water would be captured in a way that could run under ground to a flat fountain which children could run and play onto. The flat fountain would shoot up at certain times of day, and could also have colored lights for a creative night scape.The ground would be manipulated with hills of grass and soft scapes for paths and the patio area. I would also use the proposed stone retaining wall in a way that would feel as if it is sinking into the ground at the end of ramps to the entrance or patio spaces. Around the flat fountain I was going to use slightly raised stone walls that could be used for benches, or for direction. Infront of the building on the south side there would be a retaining wall which would have a built-in fountain which would give pedestrians a sense of nature walking into the building. On the retaining wall would be the school name providing the comuters with a welcoming drive onto campus.
After our class review here were a few comments:
- exagerate the fountain
- engage the people on the site
- look at the different people's point of view of the site
- look at different shadow points over the day
- look at both sides of the building when thinking of the landscape
- could bring the water inside
