Diagram description
The diagram reads from left to right: six vertically stacked guiding principles connect by branching dotted lines to five vertically stacked domains; each domain branches to its three design ideas, and a dotted connector links one design idea in each domain to a numbered place on the site concept plan.
The six guiding principles feed a shared vertical dotted trunk that branches to each of the five domains; the diagram does not distinguish which individual principles pair with which domains.
The selected idea-to-place connectors are Seasonal Event Venue to 1 Ballpark Fields; Ground Floor Local Businesses to 2 Festival Street; Local Produce Market to 4 Creek Park; Safe Streets to 3 Neighborhood Services; and Arts and Cultural Workshops to 5 Civic Edge.
