Confirmation needed

We’re at a stage in physical fabrication where we need final confirmation of which navigation paths need to be accentuated.

The images at right show all the (apparent) navigable spaces. (The colors are only for our internal reference.)

TAN = all navigable and flat areas that may or may not be open to the public.

RED and BLUE lines = our current understanding of the actual paths that need to be accentuated.

CONFIRMATION REQUEST:

Can we please have one more client review and confirmation of the paths?

Can client please markup the blank image to indicate any changes?

Should we omit any paths that are accessible only part of the year?

Digital renders for review/approval

Navigable paths and open areas are crisp, flat and inclined planes.

Non-navigable terrain is more angular and bumpy for better tactile and visual differentiation from paths.

Digital renders for review/approval

Digital designs of detailed, print-optimized buildings are complete. Prior to fabrication, can we get client review/approval for the following:

  • Buildings/features to add/delete

  • Raised paths to add/delete/re-route

  • Location/deletion of “You Are Here”
