Hi!
So, I failed the vignette when I took the exam a while back. No clue why.
I would appreciate any feedback. Thank you!

The NCARB guide shows this condition on the "passing solution" vignette. Personally I completely agree and in reality I wouldn't design this parking lot this way, but I'm trying to jump through the right hoops to pass. Also this solution had less paved area than one where the drive runs along the east side of the restaurant, which I think may have contributed to me failing the vignette portion of the exam.
Why is there a deciduous tree at the SW corner of the restaurant?
My thoughts were screening from the PP. See the tree diagrams. Deciduous trees do not block views.
Don't allow new coniferous trees to block any of the view of the pond from the restaurant.

reality vs. what NCARB wants you to do.

Yeah, the one just south of the walk from the PP was in question.
Thank you so much for your feedback!
NCARB passing examples contain errors. See pg 26 of the ARE 4.0 Guidelines. Repeating their mistakes is not recommended.
