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 water capture and allow phytoremediation to occur on the site. I like how the spaces are broken up, but still have some spaces to refine. I also want to strengthen the variety of ways the spaces can be utilized. I also want to place some transparent planes of glass over the water capture constructed elements to direct rainfall into these areas, block rain from coming into the plaza spaces, and initiate the light movement phenomena within the landscape.
I really like your sketches, they look good. What exactly is phyto remediation? I think I have an idea: constructed wetlands and bio-swales and that sort of thing, but I am not sure if that really is the same thing.
