This past week I have been working on final drawings for my comprehensive project presentation that is taking place this Wednesday. I completed two new photomontages to help illustrate my proposed design for the village of Clarksburg, Ohio.
Here are the existing photographs and the proposed photomontages:
Existing conditions. The alley is narrow, and in poor condition. It is not vital for vehicular access.
Proposed design. While the design idea is simple, it has a large impact on such a rural, small community. The alley becomes a pedestrian and bike corridor with a new pavement pattern. In addition I added "traditional" street furniture to increase the comfort for the community residents.
There is a vacant, muddy lot behind the bank. It currently is lacking a sense of place and community.
I am proposing the vacant lot to be filled with a youth-oriented play space. This image illustrates the youth-sized basketball court, a median, and a small piece of the permeable paving parking lot. Additionally, I added street trees, lighting, and benches. I experimented with a fall scene for the first time. It was a bit challenging, because the photograph was taken in the winter and I had to hide bits of snow here and there.
