This design attract me a lot. Firstly, it is kind of an enormous grass sculpture that integrating both sunken plaza space and amphitheatre. It forms a type of public domain that brings a lot of activities for people. Secondly, from the plan view, we can see it shows a good combination of topography and circulations. No matter the stairs connected to the building or the ramp connected with the terrace, they all very well designed. People in here can enjoy the good sunshine, quiet and beautiful environment. Thirdly, this design brings a lot of green area for people's life. For a landscape designer, it is an important consideration. Fourthly, it shows me a good example of how to make changes in elevation. Even there is an elevation changes, but the space still looks harmonious and unique. Finally, some picture is kind of "phtoshop", they add children's activities, people's activities to enrich the whole space. This is an effective way to let client know the function and characteristic of the site. Also, I think this is a natural and intutive way to show the scale of this site. All in all, I like this design very much. The design create a new type of public space design. It is not only increase the city's green area , but also create prople a good recreational space. I can say it could be a public attraction and a landmark in the city!
