    Inevitable as it is to describe today’s walking out with heavy rain and strong wind. Even though the situation would not qualify as ideal for us, it presented another perspective to us, as Brooklyn soak into the rain and everything get watered presenting so fresh.

    Before rain comes to Brooklyn today, I had been to the Brooklyn Bridge Park, mostly it can state as the service area for Pier 1 to 6. It is very successful to notice it include acoustic issue into the design by bring the sound burner to the site, and it really works out. What is fun to notice, people who designed all of them are meant to differentiate and supplement them in function, form and morphology. Even though restricted by the site on the width, they make the decision to separate people from riding the bicycle and jogging. In addition, detail design was thorough that different pavement was installed to prevent skateboarder or other situation.

  Then the moment rain and wind comes to Brooklyn, we’ve ahead to Brooklyn Botanical visitor center. No deny on it is a wonderful project extensively presented the spacial relationship and establish the narrative to appeal to people come and enjoy. No matter from visitor center, green roof garden to buffer the sound and vision from the parking lot beside, or Japanese rose garden and else, Brooklyn Botanical center takes on an unreal and almost illusion quality to allure people enjoy the park. With the petals blown down to the ground forming roads, it reminds me Japanese traditional Cherry Blossoms Festival. Couples would talk under the sakura tree in blossom and parents would ask for leave and take children out to chase the blossoming from north to south for a week or more.
