Design 2 - For this design I assumed the lake would be better at the lowest part of the site and that there must be access to all buildings. Having made this design, class discussions brought light to other ideas such as putting the parking underground.
Design 3 - For this design I assumed the biking would work best on the hill as mountain biking uses gradients for slopes. I also thought two parking sites were needed, one for people camping and one for other visitors. I also assumed the site was covered in British coniferous forest and so would be felled for buildings and the campsite. On reflection the amphitheatre should have been on the summer trail as a summer activity.
Design 4 - For this design I assumed the site was a British city park. I linked the play park, the toilets and the cafe as they have functional relationships. I also linked the grand lawn and the tennis courts as I thought the lawn (on the flatter area) as the lawn could be used for people playing games in the summer and to sit and watch people play tennis on. I also felt the wooded area would be good on the hill as it creates a more interesting walk for people seeking a more challenging trail. I additionally felt that the cafe should link onto the show gardens as they are a key attraction and this could lead customers into the cafe before or after their viewing of the gardens. However after class discussions I would consider having the hill cleared for viewing of the site. Also the play area could have been closer to the cafe so children could play while adults eat, and should have been South facing. Finally the entrance to the site could have been a forested area to create impact and drama when entering and exiting.
