Developing Initial Design Concepts and Digital Modelling

This stage focused on refining conceptual sketches and beginning the transition from hand-drawn spatial ideas into digital modelling within Rhino. Initial sketches explored movement patterns, desire lines, viewing points, and relationships between the river edge, pathways, and proposed intervention spaces to further develop the spatial organisation of the site.

The process then moved into Rhino, where early design forms, landscape geometries, and planting layouts began to be translated into a digital model. Developing the proposal in 3D allowed for a better understanding of scale, topography, spatial hierarchy, and the relationship between the proposed landscape interventions and the surrounding urban context.
