The last few days I have been giving more and more consideration to how to design a park for people to interact with it. I have also revisited the functions that I came up with to help focus my direction. Of these functions, the one that stands out the most as having specific requirements is the lectures, or question and answer sessions. This is because for such a space to be successful, the relationship between the person giving the lecture and the audience is a very important one. I have been looking into theatre requirements and qualities best for different types of audio, and some important considerations for an outdoor space are:
- Tiered seating for audience sight lines
- Acoustic protection
The tiered seating requirement has given me a direction to investigate further as I have also been looking into designing with variations in land level and land form to create interesting spaces that would engage participation of people. One of my considerations was creating a piece of architecture that people could climb over and around so that it becomes part of the interactive landscape as well as the building.
This has led me to the development of a landscaped seating space that can be used as more than simply seats. It also becomes an interesting space to walk around, exercise around, play around for children, and interact with. I would like to keep the changes in the landscape as natural looking as possibel and am considering digging out underneath the landscape to house a building.
