Week 8

This week we allocated each group with a task and my group we got the task of looking at what is currently there and using a design that would provide for the community in the current area. We looked at empty walls and carparks and how we could get more people to go into garrett street. We went down on a Wednesday, took photos and had conversations with a couple of people that worked on the street. Some wanted more people to know where garrett street was and some just liked the way it was, quiet and peaceful without the noise. We observed what happens on the street and we noticed there was a lot of trucks that turn around in the street and it was noisy and loud. Kinda disturbing people who are sitting around. We thought this maybe getting rid of the trucks may help the street be more quiet and peaceful. There is also two carparks but one is a camping caravan place which we thought could be another great aspect to design around.

 

From what we got from the workers on the street they did not want there street to be busy but they just wanted the people that walked past to notice them and who they are. So I thought having a people parking area that is movable would be a great idea to get people sitting and observing the space. There is a lot of carparks in the area so I thought having a park for people would just be an awesome way for people to notice what is around.
