My exterior built environment is Centennial Olympic Park. It is located at 265 Park Ave W NW, Atlanta, GA 30313, beside the SkyView. It was built in 1996 for the Summer Olympics. The artifacts there include the Fountain of Rings,

Looks nice. don't you think?

the Gateway of Dreams, the Water Garden, and statues to other important people to the Olympics. (Click the names of the places for pictures and information) Each artifact is arranged along a path, and it is designed to allow easy access to each one. Each artifact is centered in its own circle to draw attention to it. The design makes it easy for a tour of the whole park. The layout of the site is almost completely rectangular along with triangular indents along the side. (Click here for a map of the park) The park is a wide open space, and it is easy to navigate for people on foot, and possibly people on bikes. The colors most in abundance are brown and gray, because the paths are made of brick and there are many statues that are made of metal. There are splashes of cream on some statues, and there are green benches scattered throughout the park. The site is welcoming, and makes me want to sit under a bench and relax. There are plenty of trees that provide shade from the sun, and the benches are placed all over the park. The site is used by people looking to see a historical site. It is used by people looking for somewhere aesthetically pleasing. Overall, the park is welcoming and invites people in to enjoy some time in a beautiful park.
