Parkway Streetscape Design
4/13/19-4/28/19
This page was completed in multiple phases with the opportunity to integrate multiple design tools. First I used AutoCAD to draft a hardscape and planting plan that represent a design for a "parkway" city street. It prominently features a road with adjoining sidewalks and a large median with path down the middle.
In the next phase, I extruded the features in Sketchup to build a 3D model from the plan then rendered it with materials and components like people, a car, and a bike rack.
Lastly with photoshop, I created a plan view and filled in the hardscape and softscape with textures to create the full effect of a realistic render.
The images and layout below were completed for a project in the second landscape design class that I took in the winter of 2020. Instead of using AutoCAD to draft this layout, however, I used the software Rhino. While the rest of the design process was similar, I was at this point able to incorporate some more advanced techniques into the work.
For example, I rendered the photos using the Sketchup extension Shaderlight to produce more realistic shadows and surfaces and then edit those in Photoshop to create an overall more photorealistic look.

Streetscape Additions

The images and layouts below were also made in the winter of 2020 as an addition to the previous streetscape project. In this project however, I added to the base layout with a variety of safety and pedestrian access features to enhance the design.
