The imagery and (supposed) mapping/projecting processes remind me of the work of CHORA - http://www.chora.org/ - Although i cannot be certain that this reference will help as a text describing the intentions and ideas behind your project is strongly missing!
I agree with Aj Camillee that some text about intentions of the drawings/design would help to not only understand you work but organize you own thoughts as you refine details and construct a presentation. The plan is a striking collage and reads to me as a festive imposition on the city. Why is there a gap between the buildings you have represented as an inverted figure-ground and the aerial photograph? The larger circles you have used (water features, planted panels, etc) extend far away from the airport link route so show how those buildings relate to your proposal. The axons fit neatly atop each other, but i wonder if some layers can reach away from the site in different scales. A layer that shows the jogging track would be much larger than a playground layer, for instance. the perspectives are taken from effective locations and convey different moods depending on time of day. be more precise when clipping out people (too much feathering)and consider more abstract representation of people/crowds within your variety of perspectives. the work is developing well. keep going!
chora collaborated with a landscape firm you should look at, gross max, on a project that blends sports fields with planted panels like you are. http://www.chora.org/?p=54
the rendering at the far bottom of the page is a good example of how the plant choices you have made can become very legible in your perspectives and contribute to the program/atmosphere of spaces throughout the design.
