A park in our neighborhood

"I want to have a playground with a many big trees in my park."

"Parks can be boring sometimes because people get hungry and thirsty, there should be vending machines and water fountains."

"I think we just ware our parents out. Parents like to sit and talk and drink coffee."

"There should be stores for music and clothes."

"We play vedio games. But if there is enough space, we would play balls."

 

Put the demands together..

 Conceptial Diagram

The central idea of the design is to create an interactive social space. The shaded footpaths conncect and indicate the separation between formal and casual spaces.

The formal being the grid, containg a miniture golf cousre within a community garden. It mimics the urban condition.

The casaul being the meadow and football field, allowing freedom in the open spaces.

Imagine:

Having a 10 X 10 lot for your own use, gardening or just a hanging out place,

What kind of people from the neighborhood would love to be next to the golf course,

while some are hiding away in the corners?

What would happen, if the golf ball flies into someone's vegetabale garden?

Imagine:

You are trying to get the ball into the hole

while kids at the playground cheer for you and gardeners peeking at you behind the flower beds...

And

You as the gardener enjoying admiration from visitors you actually don't know...
