he project is well-organized and functional, but it lacks a distinctive spirit and sense of place. It feels generic and could be realized in almost any location, which diminishes its potential impact. A strong landscape, urban, or architectural design must arise specifically from its site — it should respond uniquely to the local context, history, culture, and environment, growing organically out of those conditions. This rootedness is what makes a project truly memorable and meaningful, and it should never feel like something that can be simply replicated elsewhere.
I encourage you to deepen your study of renowned landscape architects and urban designers who masterfully create such site-specific, evocative works. Looking at the works of designers like Piet Oudolf, James Corner, Kathryn Gustafson, and others can offer valuable insights into how to embed spirit and identity into your projects.
By focusing more on the unique qualities of the site and how your design can uniquely express them, you will create spaces that resonate deeply with people and place alike.
