My plan is focused on the concept of light movement through light and shadow within the site. I have located trees, shrubs, and grass material in the water basin that runs throughout the entire site.

Design Process: Perkins Road

Site analysis and inventory diagrams of the site. I created these to allow me to compile the important information to be addressed throughout the design process. I also generated a program and with it some perspectives to try and see if these idea would work in the surrounding landscape. I really like the idea of [...]

Light Movement: I really fell in love with the phenomenon of light movement on the site. Here is my storyboard of the occurrences of the phenomenon on the site and other relative information. I constructed a model to replicate the occurrence of this phenomenon, and pictures of are also attached within the storyboard contents. I [...]
