Planting Sectional Views

Hurrah!  Another image added. This time for planting.  Within the site, the chalk has been left barren to allow for ruderal ecology to emerge. Within this, predominately Betula woodlands will be planted with understorey species for coppice and biomass.  The top image shows a view looking north with Malus sp. for food production with the south viewing image to the cliffs below. I still wanted to show the energy of the site and the openness, hence the trees bending in the vortices of the wind, (there will be many) and the kite flying. 

While doing this project, the back of my mind was full of Dungeness and Derek Jarman but on a much greater scale.  I wonder what he would have done with this site in the 21st Century?

Don't ever do a post grad in Landscape Architecture if you want to remain sane.  It drove me mad but now very prepared for the big wide world out there again.

Final masterplan

Finally found a way to upload the final masterplan.  No annotation on this one mind, but at least the picture is there.  Just about to work on some others. The second image shows a section of the hydrology detail area.  I can't seem to do sections without all the background, they just don't look complete.  I know a background is good and GIS Arc scene imported images of my digital model have been the basis for this.  The only thing really missing now for next week is some closer scenes showing more human interaction.  I'm not doing any more construction details...had enough.  If you look closely at the section, you might see some lambs jumping about.  I do like to add a bit of humour and and area of grazing pasture was intended here anyway.  Which reminds me, I have forgotton to add a protective BS Pig proof fence to the lakeside Phragmites australis planting.  Those sheep will have it all away before any water cleansing. 

Slowly getting there.  Still can't make the proper final masterplan upload or the sections and views.
The files are just too big still.  Here are some 3D GIS models of the Masterplan for Eastern Quarry. They are stills taken from the fly through movie.  It's a shame that I rendered in Photoshop and not Cad since the buidlings are 2 dimensional and I cannot extrude.  Back to the file shrinkage to get other work up.
