Mary Bartelme Park, Chicago
Geometric shapes, 6 zones each with a focus. The park is a place for people to socialise, interact and engage. Bright colourful planting and a bright red children play area. Interactive plant beds where children can use chalks to draw, and large water feature which produces mist when walking through.

The main focus of technology is portrayed through the use of lighting along the strip. Once again segmented into zones, using geometric lines like the Mary Bartelme Park. I believe the focus is movement because it is a pedestrian plaza, a place where people can pass through yet still enjoy and interact. Rich with a variety of mediums from water to grasses.
lue Stick Garden, Quebec, Montreal
This is my favourite of the three because I have never seen anything like it. It is an art piece in my eyes, a play on perception through the use of contrasting colours of the blue and the red. It provides a very contemporary experience, almost feeling like an unfamiliar structure within the landscape. Its simplicity is contradicted by its complexity once standing inside or travelling through.
