Final model- set in urban context - Please come in- Tube steel ribs [representing tree trunks] purposely do not meet the bench/retaining wall below; in effect showing off the massive cantilever. 'Hey ma look, no hands!'

Formal expression of my initial concept- 'There's life in the cracks' - This corrugated polycarbonate form represents the canopy of a tree growing out of a crack

Narrative- A weed growing in the cracks - During the site analysis phase of the project I came across this group 'Tree of Heaven' -Ailanthus altissima- growing out of the crack on the East edge of the site. This became my concept.
