shifting planes

These models are where the fun really happened for me- to work out site features this way is so much more powerful in my own mind- hopefully they communicate well.
The lawn area I'm envisioning for the northeast quadrant of the site has many possibilities. What this shows is a raised edge on the east side, maybe 3' with a long gradual slope to the west- because this would be quite long, maybe 60' or so strong edge. I thought about what spaces and experiences might happen were I to intersect that tilted plane with another plane but with an inverse relationship- i see this as a walkway, a way to enter, as well as a fairly dramatic (given the context) shift in perception- even 3' off the ground would allow users to see from a different vantage. 



An exaggerated protrusion.... 



And a shift in planes, creating opportunities for other spaces to emerge around it.
