http://idealbuildout.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-2015-project-river-adventure.html

Monday, January 26, 2015. The 2015 Project - River Adventure. Fastforward to 1946. The British are gone from this area, and a nefarious gang of Ivory Poachers and Grave Robbers has arrived to plunder the riches of the forest. Indiana Jones has also arrived to stop them, but has not been heard from in some time. So we are going into the jungle to provide what aid we can. Escaping the temple the bad guys have the Golden Rhino and we need to stop them! Native Headhunters are also pursuing them (and us!

Ideal Buildout: June 2014

http://idealbuildout.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

Saturday, June 21, 2014. I was flattered to be contacted by designer Raoul van Kammen ( website. Who took it upon himself to digitally model the Leonardo's Workshop attraction for DisneySea that I had drawn and posted here a few months ago:. And here is the progression of Raoul's stellar modeling work:. I think he brilliantly captured what I was trying to communicate for this environment. Thanks, Raoul! Links to this post.

Ideal Buildout: December 2014

http://idealbuildout.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

Thursday, December 18, 2014. In picking a park for this long-term project, I decided against using an original content concept and will instead parallel the real-world project that excites me most: SDL. I want this exercise to be under similar parameters that the Shanghai team was under:. Similar scale to Shanghai re: park footprint and capacity. Park Program to synergize with the Company’s hottest current properties. Park design to emphasize major parades and night-time spectaculars. Entry land is also ...

Ideal Buildout: October 2014

http://idealbuildout.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Thursday, October 2, 2014. 3rd Gate Charrette - Illustrative Plan. It is fitting to conclude this charrette exercise with an overlay of the site photo I used in the initial post:. Thanks again for the participation. The parameters for this project were to create a 3rd Gate that would:. C Answer the Internet’s call to put Star Wars and Marvel properties in a 3rd Gate, rather than DL or DCA. D Remove England-based Pooh from U.S.-based Critter Country. As we also discussed thoroughly, this park was designed...

Ideal Buildout: February 2015

http://idealbuildout.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Monday, February 9, 2015. The 2015 Project - Castle Elevation II. Later this month, I'll post an adaption of one of the Fifth Gate Challenge entries. Until then, here is an expanded concept elevation of the 2015 Park castle:. The feel here is more along the lines of Fortress Explorations (also at the base of a mountain): a defensive, Scandinavian castle (inspired by Anna's) rather than an ornate, baroque chateau.

Ideal Buildout: Customized "Maps" as Souvenirs

http://idealbuildout.blogspot.com/2015/06/customized-maps-as-souvenirs.html

Tuesday, June 16, 2015. Customized "Maps" as Souvenirs. One of the more popular activities among theme park enthusiasts is to create one's own menu for an existing park: adding or deleting lands, attractions, restaurants, etc. as one chooses. And one of the key ways a designer visualizes these things on a macro scale is with an illustrative plan ("map"). Souvenir Illustrative Plan Example: DCA featuring Discovery Bay. GOLDEN STATE: Relatively unchanged (the addition of the DVC wing on the Grand Californi...

Ideal Buildout: The 2015 Project - Castle Elevation

http://idealbuildout.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-2015-project-castle-elevation.html

Thursday, January 1, 2015. The 2015 Project - Castle Elevation. This is an in-progress rendering of what I envision the iconic central castle for this park looking like. The castle here (Princess Anna) is heavily-inspired by the one in 'Frozen', although it is not meant to be a re-creation. In many cases,. I think it is more effective for park architecture to be its own thing, versus directly re-creating a film world. I imagine this castle could serve numerous functions:. Ooooh I like it but Im very curi...

Ideal Buildout: The 2015 Project - Area Birdseye

http://idealbuildout.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-2015-project-area-birdseye.html

Wednesday, March 25, 2015. The 2015 Project - Area Birdseye. In order to get to a Guide Map illustration for the 2015 park (I’ll aim for the illustrative style used for the commemorative TDS guide maps. It is first necessary to nail down most of the architecture, landscapes and area development for the park. While a theme park might have several dozen actual buildings, many of the larger ones need to represent multiple buildings of diverse architectural styles. For example, just one block. When you get t...
