Design a map of a public space

Image
 The park I designed is a beach-like style. There is a main trail that can be walked or cycled. There are wooden benches on both sides of the trail for people to take a rest. There are stone statue decorations next to the benches to add to the beauty.   This walk encloses a sunken space. Two slides are added in the middle of the stairs to add fun. There are ramps on the side of the stairs for disabled people.   In the space below there are branches of a river forming a water feature, culminating in a fountain. There is a children's climbing wall next to it, which can keep children entertained.   The trees are also arranged at a certain distance, and the play space and resting space are also separated, which feels like it can allow adults and children to relax and enjoy leisure time.

 I read Chapter 6 "Unfavorable" about this book and I thought it was very interesting. It revealed the complex relationship between urban space and social life and gave me a deeper understanding of the structure and social interaction of cities. Through the author's research and theory, I began to think about how cities impact our daily lives and how we interact in urban environments. The content of this book is fascinating and for me, who is interested in urban sociology, it was a very engaging read. For social science students, this book may present some challenges because it involves some abstract concepts and theories and requires a certain theoretical background and thinking ability. However, it also provides a wealth of cases and empirical studies to help readers understand the theory and apply it to practical situations. I think this is still a great book for social science students in the 2020s. It not only helps students understand the basic theories of urban soc

 In White's book "Social Life in Small Urban Spaces", I read Chapter 8 of Interior Space. After reading White's "Social Life in Small Urban Spaces", I found this book to be really interesting and at the same time quite in-depth. This book is like an enthusiastic tour guide, taking me through every corner of the city, allowing me to re-understand those small spaces that I might normally ignore. The author White uses very plain and vivid language to describe the daily life scenes he observed in streets, parks, cafes and other places. He tells how people meet, communicate and spend their time in these places. Through these descriptions, I seemed to be there, feeling the breath of life and human touch in those small spaces. Although the book touches on some sociological theory, White explains it in a very accessible way. I think as long as you read patiently and think carefully, you can understand his point of view. I think this book is a very good reference boo

  Planning for Project 2       Suwon starfield library Is it accessible to everyone? This place is an open library and landmark within the complex shopping center Starfield. The library is located on the 4th to 7th floors of the building, making it accessible to many people. What makes this place different from a regular library is that it is not organized for people to read in silence. Therefore, here people are free to talk and chat.   Is it possible to stay and observe without attracting attention? There are many different types of people approaching and taking pictures here, so people are not conscious of observers taking videos or sitting for a long time.   what behaviors we are interested in We are interested in three main things. First, how people behave and use different types of seating in the library. Second, how people behave when they stand and watch instead of sit. Third, the race, age, gender, and other characteristics of library visitors and the groups they bri

 This is the park I designed, the square area on the far right is the parking lot, where people can park, the largest blue room on the right is the visitor center, which has restaurants, souvenir shops and so on, and people can hold events and watch performances.  There are various roads leading to different places, among which the road with the line is the track, the road is marked as many kilometers, people can run on that road.  In the middle of the park is a lake, where people can row or do other water activities, and skate on it in winter.  There are benches for rest by the lake. And planted a lot of flowers, people can sit down to enjoy the flowers and enjoy the scenery.  There are also many picking gardens in the park, a variety of vegetables and fruits are planted according to the season, people can buy Crops picked by themselves. because most of the city people do not have the opportunity to pick crops, so they want to put them in the park. In the lower left corner is a peach

  The park should have a meticulously designed layout, mimicking natural landscapes including mountains, water bodies like lakes and streams, etc. The layout of the garden often reflects the aesthetic concept of "distant views and close views" and "winding paths leading to secluded spots," allowing visitors to experience different scenery while strolling. Traditional Chinese parks typically feature artificial hills, ponds, or streams, carefully arranged to showcase the beauty of natural landscapes. These water bodies often contain lotus flowers, water lilies, and other aquatic plants, adding a sense of tranquility and elegance. There will be pavilions and towers in the park, serving not only as resting places but also as vantage points for enjoying the scenery. The architectural styles of these pavilions and towers vary, some imitating ancient designs while others adopting modern styles, but all should harmonize with the natural landscape. A variety of plants, inclu

  So, the space was reduced by dividing a large park into large rivers. We put only one bridge to go to the other side, so that people can come across it more often. And we also put different sculptures on each side -- fountains and ponds -- to encourage people to cross the bridge. And similarly, we put coffee shops and taco stands on both sides, which are places where people can sit and talk. We set up a taco stand because I love tacos. We often put chairs in the park for people to rest on, but we couldn't put a lot of them in because of the painting limitations.

About midterm HANYUANYUAN

Front In the movie "Dark City", I think the "front" in Goffman's element refers to the imaginary world in virtual reality where the protagonists live. In this movie, people live in a city where their memories are controlled and their memories are controlled by mysterious external forces. This "front" is a semblance of reality that is used to hide the truth and make people believe they are living in a normal city, when in fact it is just a fictional world. By revealing this "front," the film explores the boundaries between reality and fiction, as well as the conflict between individual self-awareness and external control. Back In the movie "Dark City", I think this mysterious city is a huge "backstage" in which residents live a life of manipulation and surveillance. Their behavior and thoughts were strictly controlled by the city managers, and even their memories were tampered with. The true face of the city and the secrets

Go down and you can see the two entrances to the park, the park in the lower left corner is the museum, there are some restaurants and coffee shops, people can drink coffee or eat, while looking at the lake, the area in the lower left corner is more suitable for people who like quiet, can let people enjoy nature and relax. The large block on the right is the core area of the park, where people can rent a boat to visit, and the largest building is the church and art gallery, adding religious and artistic functions to the park. The smaller building is the toilet, which allows people to tidy up their appearance and meet their physiological needs, and the green circle is the area where people can perform to their heart's content.

The lake in the lower left corner of the map can be played in the middle of the lake. You can also stay in a hotel in the middle of the lake. At the lake in the upper right corner of the map, you can rest and enjoy the scenery in the pavilion. And you can enjoy the scenery from the buildings in the middle of the lake.

This is the camping park I designed, an ideal leisure destination for people to relax freely in the natural environment. There are comfortable tents in the park, allowing tourists to fully enjoy the lake view and gather with family and friends by the campfire to spend a wonderful time together. In order to ensure the privacy of every tourist, I have specially designed the layout of the tent room, cleverly creating a private space using shrubs, so that everyone can enjoy the embrace of nature with peace of mind.

https://inkarnate.com/m/P70qye-new-map/ This is a windmill that helps the water flow in the pond to create a pleasant sound. This is an outdoor coffee shop where people can enjoy food and scenery; This is a cruise ship rental point where people can rent boats; The largest buildings are the church and art exhibition hall, adding religious and artistic functions to this park. The smaller buildings are toilets, allowing people to conveniently organize their appearance and meet their physiological needs; This gray chair is where people can rest and talk, and the green circle is the performance area where people can play music or perform magic; There are two roads to enter the park; I think AI cannot generate a map directly. It can provide some suggestions for our map instead of directly replacing our work.

You can also read the books provided for free, and toilets are installed so that everyone can enjoy the park comfortably.
