Updated First Year Semester 1 Project - Winston Churchill Gardens

 Sustainable Technology 1 AD4604 Winston Churchill Gardens 

Sustainable Technology 1 was based in Winston Churchill Gardens, located on the southwest of Cheltenham high Street. The project brief was based on creating a garden that was inspired by the NHS. The garden that I designed was based around the shape of a human heart, as I wanted the space to be a central location and destination for pedestrians, families and tourists. The main colour which carries through the site is red, which can be seen in the paths, planting and pergola.

Initial designs for the heart park, which was the final of many before I took the drawing into AutoCAD and then into Photoshop. 

Conceptual visualisations.

 

Design overlaying is a key part of my design process.

The final design for Winston Churchill Gardens - Updated March 23rd

This project was one of the first that I endeavoured on when first beginning my journey at the University of Gloucestershire. I have revisited this design and put it into Photoshop, in order to clearly represent the ideas that I could not portray at the time (due to lack of digital ability). I really like the simplicity of the layout and I believe that this particular project has the bones to be something great. Moving forward from this design, I feel as though elements such as the park and the main field could be refined and designed to accommodate the surrounding landscape and fit the context of the design.
