Arlington Burial Ground - Final Presentation

My design showing animation. The site is coming to life with site and sound
A closer look....

Blue fescue is at the start being stiff and more ridgid. Chasmanthium is in the second section, with more movement, sound and hight. The peak point is with the Miscanthus being the tallest and providing the most movement and noise.



Materials used were grass, wood decking and gravel/stones. The different materials enhance the noise and focus your senses on the life around you rather than the activity on the street.












A section through the site showing the increase in height of the grasses, as well as the bottoms of the steams. More turbulance is added to each section, increasing the water movement and noise.




Three sections showing each space, A B and C. A small seating area and water fountain is added to the peak point C. This is the area with the most life and where I want the people to stop and spend time.
