CONCEPT PLAN

 

NARRATIVE

Main Idea: To indicate in a subtle manner the implications of time on the area and to bring about awareness about the elements which existed in the days gone by and bring about a feeling of their absence in the present days. Bringing to life the days gone by!!!!

"TIMELINE OF THE MILL CREEK"

A very important part of the history of West Philadelphia is the role water plays.

The Mill Creek played an important role in moulding the area to its present condition.

The Mill creek was affected by 3 main elements

1.Water

2.Transportation

3.Landuse

 Focus 
 The main theme of the design is conveyed by using various aspects which attempt to portray the evolution from the simple to the complex, in the time between the past to the present, this is mainly done by focusing on elements like water, vegetation, grading and levels and finally form and space.  

 Main elements which contribute to the design 

 Water , paving materials and

vegetation

 

 

Water is used (primarily the incoming source through rain etc,.)to bring about an awareness regarding the existance of a source of water and how it dissappeared in time.History is reflected on by focusing on the presence of water and its gradual absence.

Paving materials used also go onto tell the change in time experienced, this is portrayed in the pedestrian pathways which experience a gradual transition from compacted mud paths, to gravel, to cobbles and also play an important role in the way water flows over them.

Vegetation and the lack of it as well as the type of vegetation used also brings about an awareness to the changing times.
