Rancho Mission Viejo Park Phase Two

This is the Phase II board for the same park from Phase I. In this plan I have finalized the design of the park with specific detail of the amenities. The topography has been conceptually graded, while the majority of the site is not intended to have any grading. Also included on the board are cross section/elevations and perspectives of areas in the park. Details may be difficult to notice, since this was prepared as a 90" x 42" board.

Rancho Mission Viejo Park Phase One

This is a board I put together for a proposed park in South Orange County. The board is intended to show initial concepts for the park both design and imagery. It would be located at the edge of a new mixed use community and border an ecologically important creek and watershed. The plan I created focuses on keeping the majority of the acreage undeveloped and/or allowed to function as a natural landscape (i.e., it would not be controlled by the mower or chainsaw). Embedded in the park are trails that allow users to see the processes changing the land and offer space to recreate....especially in that they will link to other community trails. There will be programmatic ammenities such as amphitheatre, playgrounds, picnic shelters, rest rooms, parking lot, and demonstration garden for drought tolerant plantings.

Here are a few more shots from the project that I was thinking about using.....and the obligatory sunset shot from Portugese Bend.

Shots from Wayfarer's Chapel

I'm working on a project for a design class, where I needed to take some shots of a well know locale, but the images must be framed or disguised in such way to not immediately reveal where they are from. I was running late tonight trying to get home and watching the sun set too quickly. But I made it to Palos Verdes with about 20 minutes of sunlight left this evening and was able to sneak in and get some shots. It was nice having the whole place to myself. I had thought there were going to be more keepers than there were, but the low light caused many of the shots to blur beyond artistic license. I guess I need to work on having less shaky hands. Anyhow, here are some of the shots I liked and am thinking about using for the project.
