Re-Imagining Public Space
Re-Imagining Public Space
FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT, WE WERE ASSIGNED INTO A GROUP OF 5. LUCKY FOR US, THIS GROUP WAS THE SAME AS THE NATURE DIALOGUE GROUP ASSIGNMENT :D. IN THIS ASSIGNMENT, THERE WERE TWO PARTS TO THE TASK. PART A: CASE STUDIES ON A PUBLIC SPACE; PART B: PUBLIC SPACE INTERVENTION.
PART A
PART B
BOURBON STREET, NEW ORLEANS, LA, USA
COMMERCIAL WALKWAY, TAYLOR'S COLLEGE
RESEARCH
FIRST AND FOREMOST, WE SEGREGATED THE TASKS FOR THE BOURBON STREET AS WELL AS TAYLOR'S CAMPUS COMMERCIAL WALKWAY RESEARCH BEFORE PLACING THEM ON ADEQUATELY DESIGNED SLIDES.
MY TASK FOR PART A
MY TASKS WERE TO RESEARCH ON THE HISTORY OF THE BOURBON STREET AS WELL AS THE SENSE OF PLACE.
MY TASK FOR PART B
MY TASKS WERE TO RESEARCH ON THE SENSE OF PLACE OF THE COMMERCIAL WALKWAY AT TAYLOR'S CAMPUS (PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT) AS WELL AS DRAWING A SAFETY BENCH FOR SOCIAL DISTANCING.
FINALISED DESIGN OF THE SAFETY BENCH
FINALISED OUTCOME
OVERALL
THIS ASSIGNMENT OVERALL WAS A BIT CHALLENGING AS WE WERE ALL SO BUSY WITH OTHER OVERLAPPING ASSIGNMENTS WHICH LED TO US SLIGHTLY LEAVING THIS ASSIGNMENT OUT. HOWEVER, AS A GROUP AS WELL AS INDIVIDUALLY IN GENERAL, WE'VE LEARNED A LOT OF NEW SKILLS. PERSONALLY, NOT ONLY DID I LEARN NEW INFORMATION ABOUT FOREIGN PLACES, I'VE ALSO LEARNED NEW SKILLS FROM DESIGNING THE SAFETY BENCH AS IT WAS A CHALLENGE FINDING THE PERFECT PERSPECTIVE TO SHOW EVERY PART OF THE BENCH XD BUT I SUCCEEDED IN DOING SO AT THE END WHICH IM VERY HAPPY ABOUT :D
THIS ASSIGNMENT HAS GIVEN ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO PUT THE THEORIES INTO PRACTICE BY GIVING ME THE CHANCE TO DESIGN A SAFETY BENCH AND RESEARCH ON FOREIGN PLACES. I WILL BE ABLE TO UTILISE THESE PRACTICES IN MY FUTURE CAREERS IF I KEEP THEM IN MIND.
Reflection
THIS ASSIGNMENT HAS TAUGHT ME TO MANAGE MYSELF AS WELL AS BEING SELF-RELIANT BECAUSE EACH OF THE GROUP MEMBERS HAD DIFFERENT TASKS AND RESEARCH TO WORK ON, WHICH LED TO US BEING SELF-DEPENDENT AS WE MANAGED TO LEARN INDEPENDENTLY.
AS I HAD TO DESIGN A SAFETY BENCH FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRACTISE MY DIGITAL ART. MANY NEW SKILLS HAVE BEEN LEARNED; I WAS STRUGGLING TO FIND THE RIGHT PERSPECTIVE FOR THE SAFETY BENCH SO THAT ALL PARTS OF THE BENCH WOULD BE SHOWN, BUT I ENDED UP SUCCEEDING IN DOING SO IN THE END, WHICH I'M SO HAPPY ABOUT.
