Modern Design (Contemporary Community Design)
Modern Design (Contemporary Community Design)
(OP)
I am a designer who has just received the privilege
of designing a project that I believe has not been
done before.
The project is in a community with 15,000+/- people
and has such a historical significance to our country.
There is a national park that contains memorials that
are older than our country.
So...our client wishes to create a modern community. I
have had a concept of one day designing a community
that will make my reputation preceed me. I believe this
will be the chance.
My concept...I want to convince the city and client
to use the historical properties and history with
a modern community.
I am talking real modern...such as concepts that include
50 foot neighborhood roads for community block parties...
round-a-bouts with lifted islands...and more...
Any body have ideas? I can't create the best design
without help.

The main drawback is that there is not sufficient visitor parking. If the ring roads enclosed smaller areas and had plenty of parking areas the sub division would be much more livable.
If you are interested I could take some digital photo’s of the area and e-mail them to you.
