Images/Brief Reactions

All show dense city grid surrounding site... Have to get more organized on the presentation side of things, so I will be organizing a Ppt for the history of the site and surrounding neighborhoods/edge conditions to get that more across than I have up to this point.

Also, more art needs to be shown, the likes of Christo, Tacha, Jansen, Serra, DAIM, GRL, etc. to allow the jurors to see what scale of art is possible here and WHY it is so much more convenient and better than MoMA, D:B, GFS, SK etc.

Placement of parkway next to overall site plan for idea of immense scale.

Thesis statement!

Updated map with section lines and newer info.

Topo map @ same scale

Transportation lines notated.

Emphasize how the site meets the neighborhood, and how this will branch out into the community and how the community will reach in to the site.

More later.

absolutely!


the birds eye views are great, the shaded version you have is excellent at showing the size scale and location.

you could easily plot those out big and start an overlay of how your proposal connects into the site and the community.
