VISION: The purpose is to provide a multi-purpose, year-round urban green space within the community. Terra Park aims to implement a sense of place into the neighborhood through an organic identity, promoting a natural and welcoming environment.
OBJECTIVE & DESIGN: The primary design objectives is to provide an eco-friendly community by preserving existing trees along the back of the leveled seating area, and plant cherry blossoms near the quiet zone to create an intimate environment for users. The stacked leveled seating area will be the main attraction of the park. Ramps will be built along this area for convenient access, while families and students can use the space to relax by the water feature or study for exams.
