Claude Cormier

 Claude Cormier's work is simplistic but usually filled to the brim with nature! After looking at his work, I really appreciate the subtlety of the colours within the sites he designs, especially in Love Park that he has designed. The park has a small lake in the centre, which is the site's focal point.


The part that really drew me to this site and was a huge inspiration is the red within the lake, which draws the eye in. The paths are wide, which is indicative of a park designed to host people in small groups, especially couples who want to walk side by side. Claude's work is an excellent example of how you can use existing space to create a still and tranquil area within the rush of the urban environment. His work often encourages people to walk through the site as he uses desire lines to connect two places, making them more appealing to the users.

  For St Aidans our brief has been to research the Seven Sacred Spaces. Each space has a different meaning, we need to make a garden based around these 7 spaces. After researching different bible verses there was one which really stood out to me about lilies which effectively said if god can take care of lilies he will take care of you. Therefore I believe within the st aidens design the base of it will be a lily as they have 6-7 petals.

Tree survey

Image
  Today I redid my tree survey of Park Campus. This was done by walking around the site and noting down each tree. Although I did manage to get each tree in vaguely the correct location I do think in the future if I were to redo this I would instead create a tree survey layout using Autocad and google earth and then label each tree on site. This will mean I can know the exact location of each tree rather than "guessing" where it goes.

Final rendering

Image
I have put my sketch up plan into twin motion and started to export the images of the rendering. I really like how the rendering is realistic and gives off the vibe of the site really well. The site feels really natural which was what I wanted. I like this image a lot as it shows the wet woodland and meadow which is one of the focal points of the site.
