Dear Katya,
Thank you for sharing your project in INSPIRELI AWARDS.
Nowadays, the design of squares with green areas is an important project in every large megacity as it has many benefits for the residents living in the surrounding area. Also, I appreciate your effort done to make a site visit and take photos for the site to help you identify the problems found in the area, the boundaries of the site, the needs of users and the constraints of the design. However, I have some comments that may help you to raise the quality of your work.
- The proposed architectural hardscape elements (bicycle racks, garbage bins, lighting posts, … etc.) should be designed by you illustrating all the details concerning the heights, widths, colors, materials, … etc.
- It was expected to design the hardscape and softscape elements taking the sustainability concept into your consideration.
- The function of the capital construction object is not mentioned.
- The pathways are covered with tiles. However, it is advisable to use different types of covering materials.
- Concerning the perspective of the square, it is advisable to increase the green areas than the paved areas and to add some people to it to be it, so that it appears to be dynamic and liveable.
My advice for you in this type of projects to provide details for each element as much as you can to give a detailed image about your idea.
Wish you all good luck !!
