1 day site analysis of a section of Magazine St in the garden district of New Orleans.
Our group recieved the second area which is the section from Felicity south to first street.
As a group we are focusing on the area by diagraming the circulation, land use, figure grounds, shops, and the walking distance. My job is to look at the vehicle and pedestrian circulation, and the walking distances people are likely to travel from in order to access the site.

Using a music video as inspiration for a landscape design.
My music video is Richard Ashcroft’s ‘A Song for Lovers’, and my site is a 40 acre open space in the hills of Mississippi that has been clearcut.
One emphasis of this project is to begin to design with AutoCAD and Photoshop.
The project is going well, but I am somewhat overwhelmed by the number and directions of ideas that can be applied to the landscape from this video.
