DarrinWay more creative ways â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if you presented this as complete network system and think about how the road and the infrastructure is handled differently â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to not see the cars as hideous.

Final Critique Comments

Steve had recommended we raise the secondary roads going through our blocks to create a pleasant microclimate with trees and water. We want to approach this recommendation in a way to still suit our vision of creating a protected environment from the warm climate by protecting the courtyard area with an elevated roadway. However, the lack of environmental qualities above the pedestrian space needs to be addressed, which we will look at improving the green and terracing spaces with the SRVVLELOLW\ RI EULQJLQJ WKH SHGHVWULDQV WR VWUHHW OHYHO JXDUGLQJ WKHP IURP WKH YHKLFXODU WUDIĂ&#x20AC;F ZLWK WKHVH JUHHQ VSDFHV DQG WUHHV or shrubs.

Darrin suggested we really look into the movement of cars below ground and reverse the roles which we presented in our proposal. By looking at the overall network is a more creative way, more solutions may have arisen rather than where we arrived at our single quadrant scale. Our next step would include the incorporation of an entire network throughout the city and look at precedents from cities such as that in Wakerly Drive in Chicago.
