Further investigation

To aid with picking species of plants and other elements of my design I researched which species already exist on the site. This includes both flora and fauna. The elements I then incorporate into the site will then need to aid these species rather than drive them away from the site.
Following from this I started looking at the ecological context within the site. The information I found will then help me design a site that considers these elements. This includes the rainfall and temperature: this will allow when I am picking out plants for the site the species I pick will be able to survive in these conditions.

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

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.
