Governors Island / West 8

This design include Rogers Marvel Architects, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Mathews Nielsen that led by West8.

I really like these pictures that they created. Firstly, these pictures gives me an intuitive impression of this site. The distant view is grey and blur which is better highlighted the near view. Secondly, peoples' activities are very rich in these perspectives, so I can imaging they have a lot of fun in this site. Thirdly, the scale looks very nice. The different scale person between background and foreground make this site looks more real. Fourthly, I like the way that they expressed the sunlight, the shadows all in a same angele and direction. It was an effective way to make this site looks more reasonable. Next,I can see each layers are very well-organized in these perspectives. The designers have a mature thinking of this site feeling they want to create. Finally, the birds flight direction shows a very good perspective relationship of this site. It can guide people to image the changing of this whole space.

I learned a lot from these perspectives. It gives me a new thinking of how to show my perspectives.I think it's a good way to use some bright colors in the foreground to show the main attractions and attract people's attention. Also, I think the activities person are very useful in the perspecitive, because it makes the space looks active. Next, I think the natural transition of the colors and shadows are also very important. It can make the site looks more realistic.
