Park looks great. Gets me very excited for the public realm here. This area is going to be great in a few years.
You can see in this pic from
@bilked the attention to detail; and quality material palate.
In this one photo you can see illustrated many of the issues I raised in the Problematic Park Design thread, handled properly.
Note the the use of clear pathways for areas that Cormier wants you to come look at.........
Note the use of a practical and aesthetically pleasing surface making it easy to get to the highly visible seating.
Notice how there is nothing blocking your view of the central feature from the seating. The seats are not behind the trees, nor are there light standards in your line of sight, relative to the seating placement.
See also that the seating has been arranged to allow views of the centre, but also animation of the space facing outwards.
Finally, note the little mini-fence, that borders the planting bed, clearly identifying where you aren't supposed to walk.
Simple, straight-forward execution of basic design.
