WEEK 6_ DESIGN IN PROCESS

This week Tuesday (19 august 2014) we had a presentation and feedback session in which we discussed our ideas around possible site interventions.

We spoke about the existing advantages and disadvantages of site and how we could use existing strategies to better SECTION F .

 
EXISTING FIGURE GROUND OF SECTOR F

 
THE EXISTING COUTYARDS

 
COURTYARDS THAT ARE CURRENTLY EXIST BUT DONT FUNCTION AS COURTYARDS

 
EXISTING COURTYARDS THAT ARE CURRENTLY WORKING,AS A RESULT THE SPACES AROUND ARE CLEANER,MORE SOCIAL INTER-ACTIONS AND IS SAFER.

 
 
IN THIS IMAGE WE IDENTIFIED THE RESOURCES AND NEEDS OF EACH OF THE MICRO SITES BOTH THOSE THAT ARE WORKING (SO WE CAN BETTER THEM ) AND THOSE THAT DONT WORK(FINDING SOLLUTIONS ON HOW IT CAN WORK).

Our main focus on site moving forward is creating social spaces with a catalyst which will encourage those around the courtyard to begin taking ownership of the space and keeping it clean which will start creating communities within communities. It also  allowed us to eliminate the narrow and dark path ways which touched on security within sector F.

 
THE PROCESS IN CREATING COURTYARD SPACES AND ELIMINATING DARK PATHWAYS AND CREATING MORE ACCESS POINTS TO THE SITE.


PROPOSED SITE PLAN FOR SECTOR F WITH A MORE FORMALISED ROAD,INCREASE IN COURTYARDS WITH A SITE SPECIFIC CATALYST THAT CREATES POSSITIVE SOCIAL SPACES ,INCREASE IN SITE ACCESS AND A DECREASE OF SMALL AND DARK PATHWAYS.


After the feedback we were advised to visit site and just ask the community members how they feel about us placing these courtyards with a catalyst on site and any other advice to guide us.

 
A COLLAGE WITH SOME QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FROM THE COMMUNITY,BASED ON OUR COURTYARD PROPOSAL.

The community members we spoke to were very pleased with our ideas and helped us bettering it by adding they input which lead to a few changes.
