First Sketch Idea of City Park

After narrowing down my findings in my Library Book Form Storm, I felt like creating a design incorporating my favorite selected images.

The sketch includes:

- a grid system of both paved and grass sections

- raised fountains in which individuals could also use as benches

- planters

- large fountain facing the corner of Tate and Lee Street, using the blocks idea

- concrete and grass blocks for multiple use

- children's flat fountain

- central sidewalk with a sectional raised dividing wall

Library Book Form Storm for City Park

I found 5 great books from UNCG's Library. These images were quite inspiring, and it would be neat to incorporate some of these ideas in my design of the city park.

2. Innovative Design Solutions- In Landscape Architecture, by: Cantor
3. Urban Parks and Open Space, by: Alexander Garvin and Gayle Berens
4. Great City Parks, by: Alan Tate
5. Experiential Landscapes - An Approach to people, place and space, by: Kevin Thwaites and Ian Simkins

Preliminary Space Planning Diagrams for the City Park

After my group completed the final footprint of our building I began to analyze the site. I went to the actual site and took pictures of the surrounding buildings.... I also created diagrams for the circulation, proposed areas and public vs. private zones. I chose to display the second two being the circulation pattern is very similar to the public vs. private zone diagram.
