ASSIGNMENT

From a selection of satellite images provided, select one park or plaza to draw in plan using CAD software. You will scale the image in model space and trace the design elements, using skills from the tutorial to create a 24x36 final layout.

While the satellite image will give you a good sense of the overall layout of your project, you will likely need to research the design to get a full sense of its composition. Below are links to more information on the projects.
